posted by QuakerOatsI get that ....shades of brown basically; but black is black.
Some don't see it that way.
None of this is accurate about black people. At the end of the day we are all black. Not sure if u are saying black as a color or a race. No dark skin person sees light skins as inferior I’m assuming that was just a bad word choice. They may joke around that light skins have it easier(which they do) and it is a running joke. But at the end of the day the one drop rule has always been in effect and black is black. We can hate on each other but will always stand up for each other. Before Chicago gets brought up. The game is the game. There are people in the game and there are civilians. The people in the game only see green. As a light skin I can tell you it is just a joke but yes it gets brought up a lot
Obama was a halfrican and the entire country hated him. How did we ever survive his socialist, Kenyan, Hillary hiring money wasting ass?

I'm not saying a light skin isn't seen as black. If I conveyed that, then yeah, it was me explaining it poorly.
However, between kids fighting about it in the local schools (and spill it over to the youth center), and hearing my neighbors try to shame their son out of dating a lighter girl, it sure seems to be a thing.
I guess I just never would have saw this as a thing to reckon with. I'm just going to roll with the idea that living in an area that's not crowded (bigger towns/cities/suburbs) has its perks - not too many people living close by to bicker with.

I was expecting this statement, though I would have guessed QO would have gotten to it first.

I don’t dabble much on light matters. But to clarify a bit, if you are on the left now, you have gone full retard (and more).

And how do you figure that?
Tell me, which of these puts me on the left side?
I was replying to the comment about ¼ - ½ of the left having gone full retard. I was not commenting about you.
Have a good weekend, and hope the tree issue is resolved.

Oh, my apology for the misunderstanding.
The tree issue has basically gone away. The neighbors are being cold and distant, but I was anticipating that.
I didn't tell them to not insure their biggest asset.
I think this is the thread that everybody was talking about the Jussie Smollet situation? If so, he is in big bad trouble.

You'd have to expect it from either of the most "full retard" righties on the site.

It'll be pretty damn funny if he ends up getting more time than Manafort.
Duke 0-2 vs UNC.........Damnit
I think this may have been mentioned on here before but when did cards get so fucking expensive? $11 for a new baby and birthday card.
What is outraging me today is Junk Mail...I don't do anything by mail so i dont check my mail everyday, maybe once a week sometimes a little over that. Jesus Christ the Mailbox is completely stuffed with absolute Junk. What a waste of paper. I cant believe businesses are still sending out Junk mail and flyers and catalogs ect...is there a way to make it stop?

This often puzzles me. It cant be a good business model to send annoying mail and have people hate you for it. BTW.....why isnt eliminating the useless mail part of the green new deal?

They do it because, believe it or not, it's still profitable.
I didn't know about the link above, but it's worth checking out.
Today, it's a couple clients of mine.
