BigSqwert Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 07:19 AM) The political climate including this presidential election is only making things worse unfortunately. I wish we could just reset I seriously spent over two hours reading blogs about moving to Costa Rica and New Zealand last night. I just feel like I want to get away from this country and live somewhere else peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I live in too diverse of a community to see the tension I think its pretty obvious from whats going on right now. It may not have surfaced everywhere but its simmering in a lot of places and can come to a head anywhere at any time just like last night. Not trying to be dramatic but that is the truth of what is going on right now. Its pretty historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but you will never convince people of this. Just like you can't show them statistics and show them that's is dramatically safer in the US than it's almost ever been because they'll choose to not believe them.

TaylorStSox Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 8, 2016 -> 08:17 AM) Exactly how I feel. And anyone doing this is a f***ing twat. If those black friends of yours are doing that, by the way, they're not really your friends. They're acquaintances at best. And the same goes for white people who pretend to have black friends. That's all you are to them, that token they can point too and say, see...I have white friends , or see, I have black friends! I grew up going to a dominantly Mexican grammar school and a very racially mixed high school, and I never looked at them as "black friends" or "Mexican friends", they were just people...just friends. And this is all bulls***. I'm sick of it. It's as silly as a white furred dog hating another dog because it has black fur, or visa versa. It's. THAT. f***ing. Silly. I don't want to start a debate in light of current events, but this would only be true if the black furred dog was systematically oppressed for the better part of American history. This attitude is incredibly naive and borderline insulting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conservative one is a bunch of breitbart articles about how Obama is terrible. Yes, that is a pretty accurate statement of where we are.
