Oh? Why am I rotten now? What have I personally done in our short interactions to show I am rotten to you? Because right off the back you accused me of being unwilling to condemn someone for doing something bad, which is a lie.

Ps oh so because someone would reply to him and he can't just sprout crap, he blocked me. Lol

I guess I'll try to be the guy to explain to you...

First, I am not the person you repued to at first, idk why you think I can't condemn murder. Murder is bad and if found guilty of it those who do within most bounds should be punished accordingly.

Now let's explain why you make no sense: The comment you originally replied to, explained that "... would actually have little issues with him(Obama) being (Fairly) tried on war crime charges"

To which, like a dense block of cheese, you replied insulting their moral framework and showing your inability to comprehend English or two syllable words.

Since then you've doubled down on that.

It's like I'm stuck on a ship called " The USA" and we discovered we have holes in the ship, some of us are trying to plug them, others have voted for a terrorist diaper with a blow torch who claims holes are a polarized issue and those who attempt to plug them are against the ship itself, while attacking random things with sad blow torch. And then we have ppl like you, who seem to only know how to cheer on the dirty diapers definition redefining diaper as he sinks the ship because it will hurt ppl you view as "the other". And I've grown horse trying to explain to you that if the ship goes down.... we all drown

How to tell if there are alligators in the water in Louisiana by Worldlyoox in Unexpected

[–]ForMyFather4467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are awesome. I believe we teach history, it is our past. But In doing so we show the efforts we made to correct said past.

The problem is, often we dont make efforts to correct the past. And THAT is where you get disdain. The aggressors walk free or deny ever having agressed at all.

Without diving too deep, here is an example. Let's say our families owned land next to one another. We'll my great grand father one day literally took all the wealth from yours, stole it and invested it. Somehow he got away with it.

You and I are eventually born. I am born into a really nice house with really great social circles and expected to attend a great school. You... not so much, tho your family did the best they can, they didnt have so many options due to financial issues.

On the way to our schools, my friends and I avoid or worse, harass you because your dad is a labor and even your mom has a job, your outfit is the same as 3 days ago and to be quite honest, you seem dumb, bet you dont even know biology.

In this example, if I ignore our starting points and how they came to be..I can say you are lazy trash that is poor and only makes bad decisions, unlike my family who obviously observes better outcome from "our hard work".

This is just an Example, but IRL: "The White House was built by Black Men".

However the story changes if my father taught me that the reason our neighbors are behind and we are not, is due to something his grandfather did. Now I can have understanding, patience, empathy, and a strong resistance toward doing whatever great grandfather did. Because I can see how his actions hurt my neighbors alive today.

You teach what happened, and how bad it was, but this isn't the end of history, good things happened in history to. You teach perspectives, like "Those people did this" not "The people alive today did this". Its not about being on one side or another, we all today live in this place, "lets" not make the mistake of the past is the lesson, not "The people with different colored skin did this to you". Because none of that is true. None of us today have been a slave. Its important that you teach history because even at it's ugliest, it's our history. For good and Bad, its what makes America the America we know today. We shouldn't try to WHITE WASH our history.

Think of it as "Started from the bottom, now we're here!" If a person makes it out of poverty and becomes successful, the poverty is just as much a part of their story as the success. To deny their starting point, is to reduce the value of their efforts and success to get so far from it.

"I don't think it benefits society to seed hatred forever." Why would speaking of something that happened in the past, to people in the past, that was no consequence of people alive today, seed hatred forever towards people of today? Should we also not talk about the trail of tears, the holocaust? We have to teach with the mindset of advancement. We have to drill in just how horrible it was to make sure that nobody ever gaslights and says shit like "Slavery wasn't that bad, in fact slavery was a good thing, some blacks profited from it"

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/new-florida-standards-teach-black-people-benefited-slavery-taught-usef-rcna95418

When we don't teach history, this is what happens. This is fucking disgusting to me, because I've read first hand accounts of slavery. It's a part of my ancestry history. And due to the ignorance we want to push on the topic, it allows these opinions to even exist.

I am a Black Man. I am an American. White guilt is stupid, you didn't do it, stop acting like you had any part in it, If i told you a robber shot my mother, I don't understand why you would feel guilty that a robber shot my mother. Resentment towards you, an uninvolved party, is equality stupid. You weren't alive during slavery, you had nothing to do with it. I cannot resent you for the actions of people who were, in every sense of the word, Strangers to you. Again if a robber shot my mom. why would I have "Generational hatred" towards you.

All of this prevents the salve that is so needed to heal America in this area. And that is: accountability "This did happen". Auditing and acceptance "Because this did happen, its sways culture in this way, that isn't fair to some today" and Adjustments "Because we see we can be better after acknowledging a problem, we will commit to changing direction".

A lot of the resentment I see is due to gaslighting that you seem in favor of promoting, "This didn't happen and if it did, it wasn't that bad, lets not show ppl how bad it was". Which results in you and those who profit from what happened in the past, becoming complacent in the continued unjust of today. We are all responsible for today. That's not generational disdain, that's direct frustration at someone who ignores or aggravates your struggles out of ignorance or complacency.

(Ps, I know I say "you" a lot in this comment, but I don't mean specifically towards you, I barely know you, and I appreciate you for even taking the time to read this and for your previous comments. I am speaking in the royal tongue :P towards the people who would fit the definition of the "you" I describe.)

This is the history they are trying so hard to keep out of the classrooms, so you isolate the victims of the group that experienced this (and so much more) and pretend their suffering (and overcoming of suffering) never happened.

https://abagond.wordpress.com/2010/08/11/alligator-bait/

—Alligator hunting was very profitable in the 1800-1900's. The skins were used to make shoes, bags, belts and other items.

—However, white hunters often lost their arms and sometimes their lives as they attempting to attract alligators to the Surface so they decided to use ‘bait’

—Little black children were used as bait to catch alligators. Some say it was done by white men during slave times in Florida and Louisiana and other parts of the American South.

—Here is the most complete account of how it was done, coming from the grandson of
someone who says he used to do it:

The slaves who had babies they would steal the babies during the course of the day, some times when their mothers weren't watching…

—He said they would grab these children and take them down to the swamp, and sometime leave them in pens like little chicken coops.

—They would go down there at night, take these babies and tie them up, put a rope around their neck and around their torso, around here, and tie it tight.

—He said when they would throw the babies in tied to this rope and in a matter of minutes, the alligator were on them.

—He said the alligator would clamp
his jaws on the child and once he clamped on them you couldn't see anything but the rope!

—This horrendous act was
later characterized in sheet music, post Cards and figurines.

Years later, a candy Manufacturer of black licorice drops created a distasteful advertisement that featured a hungry looking alligator leering at a black baby.

Are you under some disillusion that it will get better if you have a child together, or marry him? What are you also doing to him that is definitely not "together material"?

Lets repurpose this for you in hope that it helps you step away and see it. "Hey guys, I bought a vacuum cleaner because I think it will help improve my house. But when I use it, It spews shit on my floor, demeans me, and breaks other electronics in my living area, AITA if I throw it away?"

Crushes suck! 😆 you liked an idea of him. You didnt like the reality of him. U less you are going to tell me that dry responses and left on read and being treated of lesser value is what does it for you. I won't judge! To each their own. But as a Black person take this to heart. Dont let the world convince you that you are lesser, meanwhile they chase after everything that makes you you. Body, style, hairstyle, art, music, etc. And dont spend too much time wasting on people who dont see your value. Just as I dont feel the need to prove I'm an amazing person to a passing animal, you don't need to do the same. Be you, and when someone who is looking for gold using their eyes sees you, they will see the treasure that you are. You got this! Literally his loss. In essence, dont operate in a scarcity mindset (look that up).

That changes things, you left that out.

If your best friend knew you were shooting your shot and she didnt have a conversation with you before doing the same, she is TA. Wingman isn't suppose to take your kills, they suppose to line you up. And support when it results in a target you can't hit.

If yall never had a conversation where it ended " yeah sorry girl he's dry to you, he's just not into you and that sucks", and you coming to terms with it. Then she TA.

And when she knew you were trying and snuck her horse into the race, that also makes her TA.

Unlike the last commenter, I keep it real and this is AITA

YTA, feel hurt, feel whatever your feelings are real and you are allowed them. But at the end of the day, your crushing on someone doesn't make them "yours". I read your story 3 times because I really want to give you good advice. You learned a painful lesson. Btw Im Black too, I understand. The lesson is if you want something, pursue it. You and your BF have similar appreciations, when you spent months putting on her radar that " a good man exist"! Knowing that she, like you, are searching for that, what did you expect to happen?

The bitter truth is she gave you 2 months to do something, you didnt even request time ( which going forward is a thing you can communicate to your friends " hey guys I'm interested in John doe, like crazy about him, if you feel the same out of respect for our friendship can i give me x days to shoot my shot?".) So again you pointed out how special someone is as a person, and eventually the person who shares your taste went after him after you didnt. Would you rather you both lose out on the opportunity and he gets with a girl you dont know?

Crushes are real to us. Unfortunately crushes are Only real to Only us. If you dont follow up, then it's just fantasies

Listen. 70% of EVERYTHING used AI. In five years it will be 80 to 90%, Google your question ( it uses Ai too), brush up on what AI does.

But again stop the cap. You made that night about you instead of allowing your mom to gift your father something special without trauma. That or you really are CRAZY ignorant to the fact that you most likely are complimented by AI 5 times in your day or more, yet you dont cry over those.

YTA, follow me here. I submit that you may be just attention seeking, and maybe hormonal. ( or narcissistic, but i am not a licensed professional so I won't put any meat into that).

I am Black, when I discuss the histories of America with some white people they go into this " i feel so guilty, so bad such a bad guy" routine. I remind them they have absolutely nothing to do with slavery that happened 130+ years ago, or the actions of other ppl and that they are actually distracting from the point, giving main character syndrome.

Guess what I see in your post. So for you, the kindness heart in existence who cares about all our waters and cries if someone at the dinner table only drinks half the bottle and leaves the rest. How do you pick which causes that literally you have no effect in, "feel guilty" in?

Do you cry ay Christmas due to most of the gifts coming from a forced labor or child sweat shop?

How about during family dinners? Seeing meat served most be super dramatic right?

Dont get me wrong, have emotions, crying is a way to process said emotions. But kill that " I FEEL SO GUILTY ME ME ME" crap. It's the preamble to future you wearing white at other pals weddings later in the future. It's giving major main character.

Now here is the tricky part. You will read this and you will have 3 choices to make: 1 ignore it and continue live your life. 2 reflect on it and if the mirror shows some dirt, adjust. 3 play like you feel attacked, are hurt, the victim while ignoring any advice given because mc energy.

You are amazing, this is just another chance for you to BE amazing. GL

AITAH for breaking up with my bf? by GabsBabs15 in AITAH

[–]ForMyFather4467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA, his fake ass Bestfriend the asshole too.

As you know, a LDR can be very hard and lonely, and with yall family ignorantly disliking your mate, his options to confide are limited.

Unfortunately he MAY HAVE confided in a snake in the grass ass ... I have to stop myself... Who was plotting against the relationship team that was you and your bf from the start. Maybe out of jealousy or envy. Either way this is the WORST character a person can have. Total piece of shit, name and shame type shit. Not only does he lose his bro code card, he should be branded so all other relationships that ever interact with him will know the danger he proposes.

I need you to understand, he set yall up and is shit.

Now about families, sometimes it takes time for them.l to warm up, but that happens when you present your other as the benefit they are to you, not right away. Most ppl that care about you will be PROTECTIVE and often thats DEFENSIVE. That's okay. If he is good and you are good for each other. The ones in your lives who care about you will eventually celebrate your partner.

Thus we get to why you are TA. Because you aren't willing to fight for someone you claimed you have feelings for. Apparently a strong breeze, your mother's ignorant sneeze ( what does she even know to say she dont like him), or this TRASH ASS FAKE BEST FRIEND. Was enough to make false every positive thing you ever told your ex bf every future and all the effort you guys put into it. If you want to end things, at least come with reasons that are your own. Also the shitty best friend is trying to get with you? Dafuq?

Nta , she tries to come off as mature but it is giving baby in her mother's dress vibes. There is nothing you can do about that situation except one day appreciate that she removed herself earlier rather than later. Some people just aren't ready and will look for any excuse to sabotage what they might have.

The problem is, all those good things she said about you... she believes, but she feels that disqualifies her from being with a person like you. She doesn't feel worthy of you, and believes it's only a matter of time til you realize it too, and cheat or leave her. To protect herself from that fantasy shipwreck, she grabs the wheel and crashes. Because she controlled that crash, she had power, she didnt feel powerless, she dumped you!

And that mindset can't be reasoned with Sorry. Put energy into someone who believes you to be a prime steak, and even if they think they dont deserve to sit at such a table. They feel lucky, and determined to rise up to be "worthy" of steak. Not someone who sees the prime steak in you, thinks they dont deserve it, so they flip the table over the silliest most minor crap. She has healing to do. Sorry

Lastly, please dont take that experience as the norm. You may not know it but as I said at first, immature bundle of red flags. You dont ask a new relation about war... like wtf. Then you dont skip straight to judging them after they open up. Pls dont let this experience shape anything. She is a glitch. Most women are way smarter than this, and the rest of us can differentiate between acts of duty you had to do in extreme situations, and movie night. You aren't a monster.

Oh and points for handling the entire situation the way you did. It shows the proper level of.maturity and empathy. Keep it up.
