Dude one time I was cutting the grass bumping some alternative rock came on. I was cutting the same part for maybe a few songs. Music is something serious.
From Memphis huh? Welcome.
Double post, but fuck it.
I just had a thought about the whole "can black people be racist" debate. I think we CAN be, BUT, and this is the big thing here, it won't have one iota as much of an effect on whites as it does on us, mainly because we can only be racist on an individual level, and there aren't hundred+ years old systems and laws in place that would allow us to be oppressive.
Say for example, I was a business owner, and I decided that I'm not hiring any white people, a person could go to just about any other place of employment in the world that would treat them fairly, because society as a whole just isn't gonna let that fly. I would also be more likely to face proper punishment for racist practices. Or say I was a police officer and I decided to start racially profiling white people. How long do you think that would last before I was tossed on my ass and sued for every penny I've ever earned?
That's the difference between random black people being individually racist vs. systems, laws, and a society that allows us to continually be oppressed for hundreds of years.
tl;dr: Black people can be racist on an individual level, but can't be oppressive on a societal level.

So I know without a shadow of a doubt the night of the podcast more shit was going on behind the scenes. I will not post it publically. I will PM anyone curious.
This site is being lurked. So to whom it may concern I say the following....
I know goddamn well you are doing this because I left. I have not done anything to you. You are absolutely dispicable and a worthless human being. Your message is received and if you wanna play dirty, fine. I will not stoop to your piece of shit level. I have not contacted you. I don't want anything to do with you. I want my stuff that you are holding for hostage. You will not succeed.

Man, this thread is getting heavy. Where else do I go to read about awesome food they don't sell in the UK, chicks with all the right thickness, and a sprinkling of clowning on Slayven?
Wait, that's pretty much what you just said. Huh. I agree with you.
Everyone can be racist / racially insensitive / ethnocentric. To effectively discriminate beyond the individual level requires white skin though.

Off topic but despite the fact that it's still retail, and I was shitting on it a bit in the wrassle thread, making sales at BB is hype. Like that shit gives me a high when I sell people a $500 dollar TV when they really came there for the 200.
This is what leo da gawd must of felt in Wolf of Wall St. Expect I'm not fucking over someone's credit...or making that much money.......or going on yachts...

Every time I go to BB it be so dead, they don't know how to deal with customers. Always have to dust off the register.

man there's 3 things i like about my job
1) crazy discounts on sportswear.
2) no dress code. most days i wear bball shorts or soccer pants and a jersey.
3) upselling.
coaches are so eager to buy accessories and customized shit cause their players love it. and my bosses love that i never really fuck up and get folks to buy all kinds of extra shit.
i wish they would let me go out to some of the events so i could get my connections up for more sales or maybe a new gig.
i was actually supposed to work at Best Buy but they never called me in after i spent a whole weekend in their stupid ass training.

The one where im am have the cheapest motherfuckers I have ever seen. Its its one of the upper class areas in the city. Some of the shit I put up with let me give you an example from Thursday
"Alright so your mom got a Sony TV which always you to do a deal where you can also get a PS4 with a few games at a discount price are you interested? "
Kid: "no I want the CoD Bundle"
Me:"you save more by splitting the cost of both purchases with you mom on this sony deal plus you get 4 (ass) games"
Kid: "no..no I just want cod ghost bundle"
Me:..."we don't do that bundle anymore Destiny bundle is next month if you wish to preorder? "
Kid:"Can I get the white PS4 with Cod instead?"
Me: "wat....it doesn't work like that its only matched with destiny cant replace"
Kid:"ok then let me just get the cod bundle"
Me: "....you can buy cod and a PS4 separate....."
Kid: "but its 40 bucks can I bundle and get white PS4 today"
Me: "Sorry it doesn't work like that"
Kid: "its ok mom lets get bundle at game stop instead."
Me and the Supervisor on duty called Gamestop after they left, they dont do that shit anymore either.....what a fucking idiot

Thats strange...Yea they hit me back real quick probably to get ready for the holidays staffing wise.
The upselling part is what I love the most. Persuading them into getting more or better stuff is the highlight of it.

Like he was old enough to get it....its whatever it comes with the job so I deal with it

2/failed clones and backup later I've spent $600 on a new franken PC instead
i wouldn't even say i'm a good salesman. i just lucked up and ended up selling stuff i like to people that are pleasant 95% of the time which makes it really easy.
i'd be fucked if i had to sell some of the services people call in trying to sell our business.
yeah it was weird because it was right when they were prepping for Black Friday. i guess i gave them an off vibe in training.

Welp, Devo's PM gave me hope.. might as well ask for yours to make me feel bad about humanity again. Let's hear it.
That was some good shit, Devo.
Here's why I disagree: IMO racism != prejudice. Anyone can be prejudiced and damn near everyone is. Lets be honest, when you with your fam, you don't say the same things as when in multiracial groups. You might let some shit slide that normally doesn't come out. And there's honestly nothing wrong with that. I mean, if being wary if and not trusting white folk keeps your ass alive, well... Now racism on the other hand is something that only goes one way. Fuck a dictionary written by old white men; any time anyone in this country is talking about racism, they are really talking about institutional racism AKA the power structure indelibly tied to the system that makes white women clutch their purses tighter when they see me on the street and store clerks ask me six times if they can help me in the span of three minutes. That shit cannot be applied to white people.
TL;DR you can be prejudiced against white folk, but not racist. My 2¢

Fight me breh
First off, I respect your opinion. Nah, WE can't be racist. You better believe you'd be out of business if you didn't hire a white person. A white girl couldn't get into college and whined all the way to a supreme court victory. We're not monsters so we can't be racist. None of us would say fuck every single white person and we're never interacting with them. We can't do that even remotely and our perspectives give us appreciation for everyone. Coming from nothing gives us a respect for everything. With that said, I got a list of 10,000 fuckboys that I don't want breathing the same air as me and have no problem bringing that heat to them. In my younger, sinful forlorn days I was once known as someone who had 0 tolerance for those white jokes and that white smirk women do. It got to a point where people realized very quickly I AIN'T THE ONE to bring that fuck shit to. However, no charges have ever been filed and my record is clean.
We can be prejudiced as shit tho. I'm prejudiced against fuckboys (urban dictionary fuckboy before the slander) of all ethnicities. If they hate me then I hate them and whatever happens, happens.

I'm listening to the Fiyastarter podcast and they start talking about porn. They said the mid 90's was the golden era. Do you agree or disagree? That was the era when GMOs took over. These superhuman Amazon bidges start appearing out of nowhere. That Fire chick was the fucking Bleez of porn. You think she's bad ass then when shit get real she reveals she's fucking awful. What did Dee Siren (whoever this random person is, I have no idea) do to get a ban? Don't tell me she went Ava Devine on dudes?

WHY IN THE FUCK DO PEOPLE LET THEIR DOGS OFF LEASH? This hoe ass pomeranian ran up on me. How dare he run up on me with his cuddly happy self. Side note: Pomeranians are on natural ecstasy. They are too damn happy. I've seen people let rottweilers off their leash. I'm walking in an undisclosed hood in Cleveland minding my own business up to no good, allegedly when this rottweiler dares to step to me. I do what any live real dude would do. I pull out my lighter and mace with the right hand. She got scared when that mace came out. I was going to burn that little shit and mace her into kennel. The moral of the story is leash your fucking dogs or I'm coming through on some wild west tea party shit. I AM DEFENDING MY HONOR AGAINST THEM.
