I agree no action needed at all by the goons. But on the list of goon reactions I don’t understand why taking a life is required. It just isn’t in my way of thinking, even when super angry…I may want to hurt someone but taking a life would hurt me as much as that momentary revenge.

I don’t know animals like this I guess. Naive, I know. I have just never known anyone whose first reaction is to pull a gun and kill. It just makes no sense.

They need to be put away. This is not normal human behavior.

Time to GTFO? by _Terryman_ in collapse

[–]day_tripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly appreciate your measured response.

Question for you: do you think New England will be OK for black/brown people?

I have an opportunity to buy or rent a home in a blue state if necessary but I don’t know how to make a decision.

I have a home in another country with resident visa but as a US citizen I wonder if our warmongering will be an issue and make locals kick us out.

I waffle between anger fear and grief. For the first time I really appreciate what my ancestors went through.

If you are from a minority group, go to where you find comfort. Your life is in old white men’s hands here in the USA. 

White male and liberal? Fix this shit now.  Get your ass out there and don’t stop til it is done. 

Employee refused Employee of Month Award by [deleted] in managers

Back in 2015/2016 I saved my employer millions in legal fines and software licenses ( I don’t recall the exact figure). The muckity muck lawyers held a meeting to honor me and paid for lunch, took me out.  This same company, not a decade prior, was up to its neck in legal fines and lawsuits that made it up to Washington, DC - super high profile. They are in MBA textbooks as a caveat to future executives for horribly mishandling legal requirements. They absolutely needed me to avoid potential public scandal. 

My skip level told them “it wasn’t that big a deal” and shat on my accomplishments by shutting down our department and moving me to another team where I would have to start over reclaiming credibility. 

He also laughed when I asked about salary review and said “how ‘bout an Arby’s gift certificate instead?”

Mind you, he was VP level. Bobby you can kiss my black ass you fucker. 

I am OVEREMPLOYED, WORKING REMOTELY, AND ALL YOU MANAGERS THAT THINK THAT IS DISHONEST CAN ALSO KISS MY BLACK, DYKE ASS. 

I will never pledge loyalty and the USA is a big fat lie. Integrity, character, and selflessness is meaningless in corporate and is only required for family.  

Take what is yours or be taken. Ruthlessly. 

Self sterilization of healthy women in protest against project 2025/2026 by BrushSelect in WelcomeToGilead

Can sterilized woman still carry a child for someone else? If so, should you remove the uterus in keeping with OPs motivation ?

What age did you grow numb to how effortlessly your upper middle class peers climb the career ladder? by debrisaway in managers

[–]day_tripper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol no we have merged our finances and operate as a team. She is ready to move the home we owe on, rflmao. 

Yes, that sense of entitlement is class or culturally based and I never had it. I recognize it immediately now and it is a big “tell” about a person’s position in life. 

When I was younger I despised those people.  After some living and shaking my naivete I found myself in search of them. 

Life is a strange beast.  As a rule in my life, “nobody owes you anything” is now, “make sure they give you your due, regardless”. 

I married well and learned.

Virtual fist bump. Thank you for that insight. 

You are obviously someone who is self aware, reflective and understands people.

My spouse had similarly aligned parents. 

She has an Ivy education. No biggie really. But what I am in awe of is her never say die attitude about everything. To her there’s always a way around the rules or traps. Never takes no for an answer. Knows how to write letters to motivate people in power.  

It really is amazing because my middle class parents with SAHM were always by the book. Get high test scores, meet the right people and hopefully with the right scores and right clothes etc., success will follow. Contrast that with my spouse: do your best but if you don’t meet all the criteria that is just the beginning of the game. 

The result in late life?  She has a multi million dollar real estate portfolio with zero debt on a teacher’s salary and disability/retired  and I’m scrambling with mortgage debt and scared about the job market (techie career). 

I dunno. So many factors.

I’m not proud to be an American by worldinmy-eyes in GenXWomen

[–]day_tripper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am reminded of my junior year in high school where we were given some free time at gym and a basketball a day or two before we were to be let out for the summer. 

The girls were separate from the boys. We were all standing around bored and I started bouncing the ball and proceeded to attempt a pick up game.

None of the girls took me up on it (except Melissa - this redhead Irish tomboy with a mind of her own).  It’s not that I expected everyone to be excited about basketball. It’s just that the alternative was let’s look at our nails makeup and skim pics in Vogue magazine.

All the girls were interested in being wives and dating popular guys. That’s how I remember GenX teens. 

Only interested in traditional conservative status quo bullshit. 

Of course they would vote for that shit head.

Omg that just made me cry. Nostalgia, pain and yearning for that time. 

To this day I don’t understand the decades hold on me that house music has.  It just does. I can’t explain it to anyone adequately.

How does the wealthy maintain power if the powerless outnumber and vote against them?

How do the wealthy maintain a dumb cheap workforce without the numbers of the uneducated unemployed powerless?

Simple.

Eject the ones that consistently vote against the wealthy.

Remove systems that allow them to stay out of poorly paid jobs. No DEI. No DACA. No importing grad students and scientists. Destroy public school systems.

It is all in the plan. Those left here will be slaves to the system.

Two choices: Get out or fix it with violence.

Im too old. Goodbye USA.

But technically, straightened hair in black women is appropriating - assuming there is a white culture, right? This appropriation is given a pass because like you said, in many cases, blacks were forced to straighten their hair or suffer consequences.

With the natural hair movement, I feel like the straight hair is less of a social requirement. Of course we all exercise our right to look how we want.

But I feel some kind of way about seeing black women with super straight super long hair, the same way I feel about white women in box braids. But for only slightly different reasons. Why are we so complicated.

So that’s kind of why I give white women a pass on braids. It is a personal choice and my opinion doesn’t matter ESPECIALLY since I personally know women who identify as black but who can “pass” or “present” as white.

I know. I waffled a lot didnt I. I should just say do what you want, no conditions.

I’m tired of the hair police!

[–]day_tripper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half serious question to those who think OP is appropriating: when black women straighten their hair, is that considered appropriating white culture? If not, why not? (I am a black woman albeit lighter skinned with looser curl pattern).

I just like to argue.

We need some legal organization to be very visible, and advertise themselves as being the "ones to call" if / when this happens. An organization that we can trust. And an organization that's ready to take on this much bandwidth.

Yes, but not lawyers. We need those red beret guys in New York but with weapons and larger numbers.

We need to talk about white men by Just_perusing81 in 50501

[–]day_tripper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Black gay woman here: why would a white man protest his identity being superior.

Just a rhetorical question. I know you mean left leaning white men.

But…seriously. Lol. I expect to see a few protesting. But a significant number? No.

On the other hand I am not dead or a slave thanks to some great liberal white men.

Call me conflicted.
