[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4570119, member: 63706"] The individual has always been a minority. It doesn't bother me in the least. It's about making connections and working together with other, like-minded individuals. Skin color doesn't matter to me at all, it's sad that it matters so much to so many other people. Another mind that shares my values and offers a challenge is what I value. I saw a bumper sticker that said "Imagine a jury of 12 black people". I can think of a few different ways to take that, but I really don't know what it's supposed to mean. Is it saying that's the only way a black person can get justice? Is it supposed to make white people think about what it's like to have a jury of black people? If so, what's the problem? Is it suggesting that a jury of black people would vote to convict a white person as some sort of racial pay back? I don't know. I think it's supposed to sound woke, but it kinda seems terribly racist no matter how it is meant. Then there's the protestor sign about fearing a black world. Is that an agenda? Are black people attempting to actively take over the world? If so, they wouldn't be the only ones to have ever tried. But, no, it's just a bunch of radical nitwits trying to stir things up. And really they are still just doing the bidding of a few rich white dudes who contribute to their causes because it will ultimately make them more money. The whole thing is a farce. Am I supposed to be afraid of being a minority? Naw, I think I'll be ok. [/QUOTE]
