You don't remember pretending to be black to Evander so you could make generalizations about politics and race?
Well, it's started that way, but...
Look, this may be too progressive for you guys to accept, but race is just, like... a social contruct, you know? Like gender.
And, like gender, one might find himself or herself cursed by the immutable bonds of genetics or heritage into being pigeonholed by society. Some of those in the LGBT community will understand where I'm coming from.
So the question, "did you pretend to be black" is actually quite complex and deserves a longer answer than I have time for now. All I ask is that you refrain from judgement and accept me as this community has with so many others in the past.
loving this post so much

It was honestly your crowning achievement. He actually treated you different.

Honestly, I still thought he was black. I guess I missed his coming out party.
Yes, and it's great that you are able to provide those things for them.
But.
You are in no way entitled to any of that. You have chosen to live your life a certain way, and if that lifestyle happens to be outside what you are actually capable of supporting (as opposed to what you, personally, think it should be) then the fault is not in your stars, but in yourself.
It sounds like you're saying that if something bad happens to someone, regardless of income, it's their fault.
So either you're contradicting yourself, or you're just being a complete and utter silly goose.

well the conversation came out of a discussion of a tax that only applies to the beneficiaries of people who die sitting on more than a million dollars, so i think 'rich people' is tacitly in all of his posts

Median household income in the U.S. is $50K. If half of all families in the country can get by on less than that, then you have no excuse for struggling with five times as much.
Oh, right, it's not like I can't afford to live, but things like letting mrs deacon stay home and raise the kids and art and swim lessons for them are the reason I get up early and bust my ass all day.

so you are just a pissed off socialist
got it
conservatives bitch about poor people living beyond their means all the time. :rotate:
But in this instance Verdigris was misinterpreting Deacon. He thought he was a rich dude living paycheck to paycheck when really Deacon just doesn't want the government to take a bigger wet bite out of his ass.

Life isn't fair. 3.5 million American kids don't get enough to eat. So sorry I can't work up any sympathy that you might have to cancel your kids' tennis lessons.
Yes, that makes sense; don't get mad at the government, or anyone in a position of authority that can do something; just get mad at some random guy on the Internet.
That will definitely bring about the social change you so vehemently desire.
I feel like you're not understanding what I'm trying to communicate. I don't really post on these boards so I apologize if I'm not making myself clear.
I'm not agitating for social justice here. I'm just saying, have a little perspective. If you are in the top 5% of earners in the richest country on Earth, then you really don't have much to complain about. Of course those people complain anyway, because it is human nature. I do it all the time. But it's good to step back every now and then and realize, fuck it, I've actually got it pretty good.

Again, sorry if that didn't come across clearly.
Heck, raise the income tax to like 95%
They'll still be pretty rich, so they can't complain

i had drunk college girls say they could see it in my lips
they didn't even miss a beat
the only problem with them is that they have to float in the same water that those nasty poor people swim in
See apparently I have "a black man's nose"
What the fuck does that even mean
welp
the people who bought it allowed him to get away with saying unabashedly racist things on the grounds that "he's black so it's ok"
pretty sure I called him an uncle tom and was done with it
I literally only found this out a few months ago.
It makes sense, my grandfather was pretty dark skinned even for a native guy.
I am a hodgepodge of incredibly visible minorities who can somehow easily pass as a white guy.
Heck, raise the income tax to like 95%
They'll still be pretty rich, so they can't complain
like, in a jar?
I think it means that they think you have a black man's nose.
