58. you are contradicting yourself then

Aug 2014

because I can link to what you just said as well, if you need that (hint, it is right above this post) (but never mind, since I am copying and pasting it)

"You are the reason racism will never be conquered."

So there you go. It is all my fault. Just get rid of me, and racism goes too.

And people ARE responsible for the hateful things they say. Amazingly enough, having people say hateful things to me does not really increase my happiness. Not in the slightest.

So let me see if I can explain it to you.

Me: I didn't get the job I applied for.

Comforting response from a friend: Aw, that's too bad man, keep trying. Something will come your way because you are a hard worker, smart and a really nice guy. (what good is a friend if they won't lie to you?)

Insulting response from a detractor: So what? You're a privileged white male. If you didn't get the job it's because they saw what a whiny a$$hole you are. You are so awful that you are the reason that racism will never be conquered. Well, you, of course, and other people who are just as vile and disgusting as you. Okay, almost as vile and disgusting since you clearly are the Guiness World Record holder when it comes to being disgusting.

Should I quote the rest of the post that did NOT get hidden while my response to its hateful message DID get hidden?

But that's what happens when you carry the message of Jesus and Martin. I mean, look what happened to them. As the saying goes (backward and forward)

Deliver no evil, live on reviled.

Rest In Peace, Trayvon. May your family find peace & justice. JaneyVee Feb 2013 #1
