a difficulty with this thread and subject matter for all of us is to see admit in the ways we are a devil. It's the last thing anyone wants to admit. Especially white people because the definition of 'Racism' is tied to white peoples identity and heritage. Imagine, have the heritage of a devil? Who wants to fully face and admit that?

 

the guy is just attacking, guilt tripping, shaming etc. people

thinking he's always right because he's the "victim"

don't fall for it, it's bs

also i'll admit my devilries but not to a narcissistic bs'er

at least have decency

i do understand that it's coming from pain, so i don't hate him or anything, it's fine

but i'll not accept it and not talk back

@PurpleTree I understand. I've addressed the name calling throughout the entire thread everyone was engaging in. People were triggered.  Also, Purp, let's not play "Their not the victim... I am" We aren't playing that game there. Stand up for yourself if it feels right. We are human and react. Like, if someone yells at me in person it's very hard for me not to yell back because I become triggered.

that's why i jumped into the discussion in the first place, i was triggered by him calling everybody names and reacted

 

i have no problem with his opening post, i also don't have a problem with him asking leo about the n word.

that's ok if he was shocked when he heard it and wanted to hear leo's thoughts.

@vladorion Racist remarks are not harsh truths. Harsh truths is to admit that one judges their own race unfairly.

You should probably read the message I quoted to understand why I said that.

That is exactly the way he excuses his misogyny.

Yes. They are there. But, a leader has to also know how to get people to follow. A leader will have many haters, and deal with many fools. But, a leader knows that by standing strong in their principles and purpose they will teach others, change hearts and minds and gain followers. A Leader will make a better place for everyone in the long run.

At the end of the day this forum was is clearly a distraction for a lot of privileged white wannabe yuppies who can’t get laid.  They don’t understand nor do they care about black people.

Dude, go cry a River somewhere else.  I have seen your racist and closed minded comments.  Just because you may not be white doesn’t mean you don’t play into the game of white supremacy.

If you have a problem with me why don’t you pm me instead of replying to others with my posts like the little keyboard warrior.

so you support racism against asians then?

Stuff like this is exactly why I'm against becoming a public figure. Cancel culture puts you and your past under a freaking microscope. Celebrities are just slaves with money.

True.  Joe also knows the game.  He’s been in Hollywood since the early 90s.

LOL right.  Never mind that I love the Japanese culture, have studied the Japanese language, want fo go, have dated Japanese, South Korean and even Chinese women, have Asian friends, have called out friends who have said racist shit about Asians, and I will probably have children with a Southeast Asian woman one day.

But yeah, I am trying to hide my racism.  I don’t have to constantly say that I am not a racist because any reasonable person knows that black people cannot be racist because we have no power.

Forget about the forum. People on the forum are like people all over the internet.

Also, there’s a wide variety of people here.

Alright that's enough of this shit. If you want to fight for equality and racial justice that's completely great, but you need to do it in a way that brings more interesting topics that spark better discussion.

All that's happened in this thread is you've gaslighted and accused anyone who slightly disagrees with you as racist, which immediately heats up the room and makes people want to troll you, which is what has happened here. I've seen close to zero productive engagement from anybody in this thread.

What Joe Rogan said 9 years ago or whatever is bad, but it doesn't really matter anymore. This forum is of better use than to talk about cancel culture. If you want to hold him to account go on twitter or some other platform.

I'm not going to hand out points to anyone, but I advise everyone to be a lot more careful and nuanced if you're going to talk about this topic.
