“ If he had slightly darker skin, I’m talking SLIGHT, they would treat him like a terrorist on this site. The whites are terrified of anything darker than Halle Barry”Okay, so, this is the reason I love public discourse! First of all, you responded to my post as if I had replied to you specifically or tagged you. My statement was purely general in nature, a reread would have proven that (I even used the words 'some people'). Take a look at my post history, or don't, I'm annoying; you will see that I have zero qualms calling out and tagging people specifically. Secondly, I am aware of Google and its uses, but I am also well aware of his politics. Humor me for just a moment: show me where I said I was on board with all of his statements. Show me where, what I said, had anything to do with supporting everything he does. The point being, don't generalize my statements by forcing your own assumptions on four sentences typed up in here. Lastly, I quoted this specific piece of yours just to bring up the definition of the word 'literally'.
lit·er·al·ly
/ˈlidərəlē,ˈlitrəlē/
adverb
adverb: literally
- in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

Now, where in my post did I say that literally all republicans are racist? I guess I can't read because I also can't see the word republican, or racist. I don't want to negate your own personal experience and I am sorry that YOU took the words in my post and added a whole bunch of other words and nuance but your attempt at schooling me just isn't it. I am sorry if you were having a bad day and mine was the post that caused whatever that was but I hope today is a better day. Stay well, Rosewood. DM's will be open if you feel the need to clarify or just want to talk it out.
I know what you meant by “the whites” you’re talking about white republicans. You said if he was darker people would think he’s a terrorist. Which is racist. You basically said they are all racist. Don’t try to dog whistle you way out of this. If you’re going to a bold and false claim at least stand by and lose the dog whistle.
