If you think that's a racist statement, then I don't think you understand what the word racist means.

It’s not a racist statement but it’s something a racist would say. I don’t know if slinger is a racist. He says stuff that sounds racist but he’s a world class troll so who knows. Idgaf one way or the other tbh. He’s entertaining and that’s all that counts.
Ive only been working with predominantly black families for a living for about 25 years. Yeah, I’m really just spitballing here.
But I get it. You’re a millennial and you’re woke. You obviously have your finger on the pulse of the black community.
You can double that to 50 yrs, and if you still say "No, people of color aren't treated differently in America", then I still say you're ignorant or racist or both.
Can you explain how that would make someone racist? I'd think if you feel various races are treated the same, it has nothing to do with being racist or not. I'd think you're thoughts on whether one race deserved to be treated worse than another, regardless of whether it is currently happening or not, that would make one a racist.
I don't think it's something he can explain since he apparently doesn't know the definition of the word.
You’d be wrong.
But to even entertain your comment might give the impression I give one single f*ck what you think. To be clear, I don’t.
So my county has changed what they are doing and going to all digital learning three weeks from now. Great idea to only give people three weeks to prepare. To add to the dumb shit going on thanks to corona, our governor is going to try and sue the Atlanta mayor because she wants to implement a mask mandate.
The city system here is having K through 4th grade in class and all other grades digital learning.
School is going to be a tough one. What happens if a teacher tests positive? Obviously they have to quarantine, but what about the students they were teaching? Or the family members of the kids that were in contact with the infected teacher? Will the teachers get hazard pay? Will subs want to take temporary positions at the normal substitute rates because the regular teacher got sick?
It will be interesting to see how different school districts across different states try to handle this. At some point in the future, a virus much worse than this one is going to come along. Hopefully we figure some things out this go round.
It's definitely complicated, but you can put restrictions and conditions in place to minimize the risk. Younger kids are far better off with in person teaching. Digital learning for them isn't a good option.
I don’t disagree at all. I just think it’s going to be interesting to see how they react to the inevitable positive cases.
Imagine being the poor schmuck that has to monitor the restrooms and make sure that a bunch of 7 year olds go one at a time and use hand sanitizer on the way in and out.
I don't think anyone should in any way be treated any different based on their race.
HOWEVER, I do see every day folks in need of shaming me for my race? I see folks not even couching the phrase "white shame" any more, hey, lets take advantage of the shame white folks are supposed to feel, lets put them thru pubic shaming if they do not agree with the BLM mantra?
let me tell you publicly, I feel absolutely ZERO shame in my race or anything what so ever I have achieved, earned or been able to gather in my life time, not a darn thing has been given to me in any aspect associated with my race. I very strongly feel no one else should feel any differently and that is not a function of race. Way to many are looking for excuses for their lot of life, I am not, I take responsibility for the decisions I have made, the good and the bad and trust, there have been plenty of both.
I read here a lot of words written by folks with racial intent but it is not limited to skin color, I see racist words written by folks of all skin color. What I see is far to much blaming others for their lot in life, envy for those that made better decisions. Yes, I realize that inner city kids have a harder road and I do not minimalism that, I realize their path is life is harder but I ask, what is the solution?
I think we should all be talking about the solution as opposed to launching accusations and tearing down statues. Like it or not, the solution is the family unit, is not teaching that young inner city kid that his only way to success is in a drug deal if he was not born with amazing athletic gifts. Far to many of these kids find the only real family they can depend on and trust is the gang so they end before they even have a chance to begin. THAT folks is what needs to change and we desperately need reasonable voices to step up and be a part of that change. But it will never happen as long as folks elect to talk AT each other as opposed to talk to each other. Right now, all I see is talking at each other, we need great Americans to step up and talk to each other and not just talk but listen, right now I wonder if I am even being heard? I have a view point framed by 62 years of living on this planet and I have 20yr old kids telling me what I am supposed to believe? And ya wonder why I am getting pissed?
Should we explain this to toe or do you think he's got it by now?
Dems about to 180 on mask wearing.
"Wait you mean Trump wears a mask? And he calls it patriotic? Forcing mask wearing is authoritarian and unconstitutional!!!!"
Lol. I’ll like Trump more if I found out that’s why he tweeted that.
The point is; Are you one of the "many people?" And, if not.. who is???
It's what I imagine will be a reaction from a group of people to the tweet. Is that considered a takeaway? I'm not sure.
There must not be able to get the same data over the weekends. I've noticed it is always significantly different on Sundays on that site @RaisingHeel mentioned.
Not only will they not get Coronavirus but they've avoided herpes as well. Still anti-mask NOW @Terror Beard ??
He must've worked it out since he's finally telling everyone to wear masks now. I'm sure there will be a whole line of maga masks available on his website tomorrow.
I would have thought they would have just gotten picked up by the people that oppose everything that Trump does.
A month from now Trump will include mask-wearing as something he's been pushing since March, and call it the #2 reason why there aren't 2 million deaths yet.
Nailed it...All of sudden all the anti mask stuff is gone from Facebook

Just like the George Floyd aftermath made all the democrats forget about social distancing.
Trump was really good yesterday. It definitely look him too long to adopt this tone/attitude in my opinion but I'll give him credit for adapting to what's happening this summer.
