The racism on this board is reprehensible

Seriously Tom, I'm in your boat, and will never forget the day in 1983 that I wished the earth would suddenly open up and swallow the front-end grocery store manager who was training me as a cashier, when in the course of teaching us all of the codes for the vegetables, said "these are collard greens, which you can remember because collard people eat collard greens."
So, 42 years have passed. Do you know of his ultimate fate?

He could have fallen into a sink hole by now ... or died in a bridge collapse ... or moved in to the Surfside Florida high-rise that collapsed a few years back ... or merely fallen asleep in the dumpster behind the store while waiting for the back door to open one morning ... and been devoured by a fully functioning garbage truck along with the previous day's leftover collard greens. Any number of fates would have allowed you to claim certain superpowers.

This handle has been around for a year.

Good luck @JasonTAlexanderJR. I’ve been trying to get HBOT to stop using the R Word for 20 years. I gave up. It’s easier to just put certain posters on ignore.
The re-emergence of the R word on here is one of the sadder things to have happened. I always appreciated your bedside manner coaching people why that word is problematic. Now I see it being thrown around all the time and certain posters seem to revel in using it.

It’s like the GOP was hijacked by 15 year old boys.

Over 20 years here I have determined that the R Word is politically agnostic. But I do agree, recently there has been an uptick amongst the newly empowered MAGA types.
 
I'm a Black person and a Purdue alumni and I have to deal with this racist crap over and over on the Gold & Black Illustrated board. They actually try to tell me that US slavery was not race based. They call me racist for just merely calling out racism.
In the beginning it wasn’t race based, but quickly became that way.

What a racist bitch. "She" forgot to capitalize the b in "Black". What an especially hateful thing for a trans White dog to do.

I think people of color is fine because it can refer to all minorities and was never used as a racist term . I think "colored people" is a lower end racist term from the 80' and before so probably best just to use different words.

“Colored” goes back a long ways. And while it doesn’t sound much different than “person of color,” it is. It stirs memories of colored only or white only signs once found on bathrooms, restaurants, drinking fountains, etc. Colored most represents the 1950s Jim Crow south.
 
She/him/it/they/whatever, and the Gov. of Wisconsin could make beautiful.........................somethings together!
You're supposed to capitalize the "s" in Somethings, bigot! That lack of attention could trigger certain folx in the Something community
 
When Eloon is dropping it on the world for all to see it's gonna happen. It's probably part of phenom's daily lexicon at this point.
Speaking of retards, our own Captain Retard of his very own E-Bike gang shows up to whine!

Sadly I have seen it used by plenty on the left, too. No place for it regardless of where you reside politically.
 
I think you are right from 20 years ago, but it seems clear the resurgence is led by MAGA.
I don't know that it's "maga" as much as the shit finally ran ran over.

That word isn't great, I use it and shouldn't, frankly there are much better descriptors, but the word will always exist in its practical since. To set back the timing on an engine is to "retard" the timing if you will.



My 2 cents: people that want to live in a normal society got so fed up with "you need to respect my pronouns" that when the momentum went the other way "retard" , a word the vast majority of us grew up using, was the one to take back. When you look at the negro> colored> black> African american> poc> now that's not right... line and take it to any of the other "woke" stuff.


I'm not saying it's "right" but there is a component to "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" to this.

I think it was the accepted term at the time. I believe it replaced the term Negro. I remember the United Negro College Fund. I assume it was started when negro was the accepted term. I think the accepted term then became Colored People. Hence, the NAACP. I don’t think either of these organizations names nor the organizations themselves were meant to be derogatory or racist. After colored people came Black people, and after that came African-American.

The fact that you need to even explain this to a person in 2025 is terrifying. I highly recommend any of these posters posters avoid approaching a Black American and referring to them as a colored person.
 
I was wondering how long it would take you to make this exact post. You are as predictable as my morning shit. Come to think of it you contribute about as much to society as my morning shit too.
Yup, sorry I don't have more time to sit here all day/night and whine, bitch, moan, complain and of course, "contribute to society!" 🤡

It's almost like you think we can't check your posting history. All day, every day - from morning to night! And a crazy ass post/day ratio. And that's just this account. You're as good at lying about your HORTing as you are about your "marine" stories you bitch ass valor thief! Lulz. Owned. Since your last one disowned you out of pure disappointment, don't worry - this Daddy loves you.

Colored was the accepted term by whites during Jim Crow. In the 60s blacks preferred Negro. Later on in the 70s, Black became the preference. Then In the 80s, Jesse Jackson made a push to prefer African American because most black Americans cannot identify one particular country in Africa that our ancestors are from. Current DNA methods can identify that now. My preference is black.
