But I understand what you're trying to say. Maybe it would be fun, or enlightening for you to do a little digging to actually know what you should/would consider yourself. :3
On an unrelated note, I just had a lovely conversation with a lady who proudly declared that all African Americans should go back to Africa and live in horrible poverty until they can appreciate that 'we' (by which I assume she meant Anglos such as herself) let them live here.
Didn't solicit this conversation, just volunteered all that. Wow.

Damn, that's a blunt thing to just spark up a convo with. Did this lady know you?
it happened on the anniversary of Malcom X's movement (which called for the same thing, but obviously for completely different reasons)

I wonder if she saw something about that on the news and just put it in the most racist possible terms? Is that something the news is covering?

Eh? Trump turned China against the DPRK, (partly) by destroying the Syrian chemical weapons program over dinner. I'd call that a difficult leadership situation and a home run.
Well personally the one major thing I could see stopping Trump from reelection going to war or continuing all the drone strikes. It certainly drew a lot of ire from his own side from the attack that wasn't explained. Also I'd consider both of them to be utter disasters. (and Obama literally pretty much did everything Bush did but worse.) But I guess throwing that aside.
Do you think he'll be elected regardless of success? Because we can't seem to just elect someone once and switch them out? "We need 8 yearz bruh!" mindset that we almost seem cursed with two term presidents. Like whether I like someone or not, I'm really certain having two term presidents are particular helpful to them or us or the country. It's pretty obvious being president drains your mental and physical health, and most people can't deal with that pressure. So doesn't it kind of seem like were giving these people a well paid death sentence? Among other things. <.< I dunno, maybe that's just me.

That has been going on for quite some time. Shit, Xi Jinping hasn't even met with Kimmy III, and the latter has been office since, shit, five or six years ago wasn't it? That's a situation delivered to him on a silver platter. Hence why I used the Cuban missile crisis as an example, something that actually requires political delicacy.
Fair enough, though I wasn't making the argument against it. So I feel like it wasn't too necessary. But yes whites shoot people, but it's mentally fucked in the head people we're usually dealing with. And that goes into mental health more than anything else.
Ah. Still seems like a negative stereotype.
Citation needed? :3 *I spent a lot of time writing things but I deleted it. Dieting doesn't help the brain process things I've learned. :D*
Fair enough, but again. Whose silencing stuff like this? A race? No, a political ideology. Which I argue has caused a lot of the problems.
Guilty until proven innocent? I can tell you that doesn't fit western views. (though you're not from here, so that probably means nothing.) But yeah, I just agree to disagree with that ideal. I understand where your logic comes from, but my brain just will never work that way.
Doesn't help when you applied it to yourself, my man. XP
But yes, that happens. Usually by privileged class white people that project their feelings to things, they actually care very little about. But I'm repeating myself.
My predominantly white schools absolutely sucked, and was full of pieces of shit. And I highly preferred my predominately black school, many who were at least much less spiteful people. And my non-ghetto friends pale in comparison (and having an actual spine.) to how close I've become to them and the things they've experienced and took in stride. (Everyone that I've meet and spent time with, are far less spineless than people seem to think they are. Including my family. <.<) But I guess anecdotally, both hold about the same weight of the real world as a whole.
Believer of? (I mean I guess it's sort of obvious. (ignoring the 7 billion different denominations.) But I guess I'm not fully sure what that means either.)

Well TBF I haven't seen a whole lot of delicacy from Trump in any situation ever. But the shit he's doing certainly seems to be working -- China's turning back DPRK coal and taking ours (and our beef); Qatar is in the ringer for terror support, Assad's chemical weapons (which Obama "handled" delicately) are crippled, etc etc.
You're right that if something big happens and Trump fucks it up, that would be bad -- but you could say the same for any incumbent ever, there's been no indication (other than angry tweeting and pretty much every aspect of his persona) that Trump's in any danger of having that happen. His record is kinda spotless and full of winning atm.

China probably knows that nothing tastes better than Trump Steak.
It's not really, and even if it is that doesn't change the fact that when seeing someone like that I can draw some instant conclusions. Even off of your "non-serious" point you kind of go along with what I'm trying to say by saying that white ones are usually desperate and overcompensate when trying to go into this culture.
Lynn, Vanhanen, Kanazawa with books like the Ten Thousand year explosion. It's also pretty evident when you just look at who emerged with farming and nomadic rather than hunter-gatherer societies first.
That doesn't change the fact that we can't really speak up and the books/studies published by this side are proverbially lynched from the get-go and half the time there aren't even publishers willing to distribute them on the grounds it's raycis. It's not hard to be right when you confiscate all of the other side's shit.
Your loss. I've been taught to be a calculating and paranoid bugger from day 1 which has served me well.
I mean, I did it in part because I get tired of pushing aside the claims. If people want to bitch and whine and push these buzzwords at me then so be it, I've had it happen too much to give a shit.
This is also more likely to do with culture preference and models, if one is over-exposed to a single cultural group - especially if it is usually designed for older/more mature people to be emulated - they will most likely come to resent it and find relief in another somewhat "rebellious" one.
From my country to faith, it kind of sucks being irrelevant/unheard of.
Old Believers are pretty much the only Orthodox Christian branch/sub-group that isn't some unheard of cult or syncretism. It happened when a few hundred years ago there were differences in rite between Imperial Russian as well other Church Slavonic texts of all sorts and the Greek ones used outside of Eastern Europe. The Emperor wanted to close the differences between the Greeks and his subjects/diaspora so he ordered everyone to switch to the Greek way which was supposedly right and the Eastern European one was attributed to failures in translation and just overall differences appearing over time as is supposedly natural. Some people stayed with the old Rite and the Emperor issued a repression on them, thus many fleeing to either the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth where they couldn't pursue (Belarus being in the Polish Lithuanian commonwealth at the time) or to live with the Cossacks which were free of most Russian laws.
Of course, later research vindicated us since it actually came to prove that we had rite based on Older Greek texts from Constantinople and such that the Greeks did not have, thus proving us, more or less objectively right. So thus came the name, "Old Believers." Reconciled means that we've accepted the Apology of the mainstream Orthodox Church but keep on with our rite.
We know what was and was not read based upon his interviews. He never knows what he's talking about, and he's often confused. He's been stated to be factually wrong/lying 3/4ths of the time, compared to Hillary Clinton's 1/4th of the time, and while you might think Hillary's is bad, that's actually normal for a politician.
Like I said, I'm independent. I try to look at both conservative and liberal views. Seth Myers is obviously a liberal, however the video itself used its source verbatim. Can't really argue with that.
Obama took away Coal jobs, because it's environmentally harmful. Yet he also official (according to the treasury) brought us out of our economic recession and gave us millions of jobs in other areas.
John Oliver never said it was cheaper. Just cleaner and more effective.
and you should never listen to someone who is biased. It's why I am an independent.
As far as Coal jobs go, my point is this: New energy such as Solar and Wind, while they aren't perfect, are in fact, the future. Coal hurts the environment. It is literally helping lead to the deaths of our kids and grand kids, to the earth shutting down as a planet, and perhaps the end of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of future jobs so we can have some jobs now. People who are for coal just want things 'now now now' and fuck the consequences.
Something that goes through that book you mentioned.

Well it doesn't happen here, yay free speech. (Though people will try.) But I understand that other places don't have that and people in this country don't know how good they have it.
Everyone in my life kept telling me I was paranoid, right before/after they sticked a knife in my back. And in hindsight I'm pretty sure I've been being gaslighted for a decade and half. <.<
Sure, I suppose being optimistic, hasn't helped me much in my life. But if I ever was actually paranoid, I don't think it would of actually benefited me. <.<
But that's neither here, or there.
Like every atheist teen that has Catholic parents. (Though them seeming to have a fetish for people going to hell. So frankly I don't blame them.) And guilt tripping people like that is precisely why I/my family no longer went to church. <.<
But in all seriousness. I don't think rebellion had much to do with it. Mostly me just learning, there's good and bad everywhere. I never tried to change myself on purpose. I got into parts of other cultures, books, music, art etc. But didn't ever stop me from enjoying my own.
Okay then. Glad to learn about something. I literally just watched like a 2 hour debate of religion last night, so I sort of had it on the brain at the time.
