@Jojothegoodperson@freespeechextremist.com @_p@shitposter.club @sim The biggest issue with it is that since it's race, everybody acts like they have a moral high ground because of their views on the matter.

@_p@shitposter.club @sim Yeah, that's a good question. I can really go with both, but I do prefer black. But yeah I identify far more with being American than any relation I may or may not have to Africa...I've never been there tbh, and all the people I know who have gone over there are white lol

police forces should only be disbanded completely if each household is allowed to have at least 2 guns

Its all the people abused by police and the court system we **didnt** riot over that has me concerned honestly...

gab trending is still not showing the Trump/Epstein anon thing
"The act of listening to music, whether you’re doing so actively or have it on in the background, can lower your stress levels almost immediately. Because of this, music is a very convenient and powerful tool to help with stress relief: it can help you to feel more energized, more peaceful, more cheerful, or more of many stress-combating emotions. Because music can affect your physiology and your mood with very little conscious effort from you, it’s great to have on in the car while you start your day, or in your house when you get ready to go."

Now I know why music is so addictive!

@sim @_p@shitposter.club Well most African-Americans generally have similar opinions on these racially-charged political topics, so I could see why he would expect me to agree with him, but it's another thing to be "disappointed" in someone else just for their opinion.

Now thankfully, I don't really care what he thinks. Most of my brother's friends are pretty wack anyways. But it was still odd to me and a bit frustrating. Not because of what he thinks of me, but what that would mean for other black friends of mine who might feel how he does.

"If you wake up ruminating about negative situations from the day before or anxious about challenges to come, focusing on goals can help to take your mind away from these things as well."
@_p I mean, that would be better... but we don't get to have nice things. It's all about skin colour these days. Maybe it never stopped.
When you think about it, whites are the global minority. No point trying to paint them as the majority. They just happen to be the majority in some countries although probably not for long.

@_p@shitposter.club
Yeah this gets infuriating a times

My brother's black roommate said he was "disappointed" in me for disagreeing with him smh
@sim

Allow me to further compound on my opinions from the position of someone who was a Corrections Officer in South Carolina.

There are a disproportionately high number of Black Americans in prison. The population difference is fucking insane. My prison had a Prison Industry. They washed clothing for all the prisons in South Carolina.

The inmates are not paid for this any meaningful wage. They grow their own food on farms in South Carolina- which does make sound economic sense- but the farmers are inmates who are not paid for their work. They are literally slaves.

And this is BAKED INTO the BILL OF RIGHTS.

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, ** except as a punishment for crime** whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

This is supremely fucked up. Slavery is not illegal in the United States and it is PRIMARILY Black Americans who are being enslaved.

Land of the fucking free to work and die.
