I'm a straight White guy, so I don't have the same life experiences as a minority class - but I got treated the worst working in an union job and treated the best as a non-benefited contractor who could be fired at any time. At-will employment is honestly objectively bad and you were dealing with different people that would have treated you shittily if they could fire you or not. Edit: I have content though, too! I was reading an NYT article that was really sweet. A 75 year old man who is a mail carrier and very Roman Catholic Old-School Italian befriends a 26 yr old Saudi woman on his mail route. He gets over his technophobia because his friend was moving back to Saudi Arabia and he wanted to keep in touch with her on Facebook. It was posted a few minutes before I saw it and at the time this was the only comment:

I've seen it brought up in a couple of places, but I have never experienced it so I am not sure. I was picked on WAY more for being an academic overachiever (skipping ahead a grade, reading at a 12th grade level from an early age, etc.) than liking nerd poo poo (playing video games/D&D, writing hella fanfiction, and so on). I also got picked on for not speaking AAVE, but that's something totally different.

Birb Katter posted:I used to like your gimmick LoB but this is too far. U.S. COMMISSIONER CONFIRMS THAT WHITE PEOPLE FACE EXTINCTION. For years Aryan Nations has been warning our White kin that there was a conspiracy to Murder our White Aryan Race and that we were fast approaching the point of no return. Now we have confirmation from U.S. Government sources. On the back of this leaflet you will find a reproduction of an article from the August 4, 1981, Rocky Mountain News. When reading the article, please bear in mind the following things. Considering the lower-than-replacement White birth rate, the high non-white birthrate, the colored immigration and the fact that thousands of our young people (especially our women) desert their Race every day to marry non-whites, you can see that in ten years the child-bearing population of America will be less than ten percent White. All history, as well as common sense, declares that no Race can survive without separation from others so they can promote, propagate and protect their own kind. There are over two dozen all-Black nations engaging in no integration or the inevitable resultant, miscegenation, which decrees the death of a Race. The population of one Yellow country alone, China, is nearly four times all the Whites on the planet. They too are remaining racially pure. There are no all-White nations, at least in the Western world. We are the earth's most endangered species. The famous American aviator, Charles Lindbergh, traveled America in the 30's warning that if we helped to destroy the tiny nation of Germany, which was the last and only White Racial Nation, then our Race was doomed. Was he right? Today YOU can escape the terror of the Black ghettos and the Brown barrios. Your children and your children's children will have no refuge. THE DEATH OF THE WHITE RACE is neither imaginary nor far off in the distant future. History shows what "tender mercy" the few remaining Whites can expect from the colored hordes in the last days of our Race. The JEWS, who have sworn to destroy our Race and who now own all three T.V. networks, the major movie companies, and nearly all newspapers and publishing companies, make it front page headlines, if they can find a non-integrated school or neighborhood anywhere. Nations, economic systems, political systems, etc., will rise, fall and evolve as long as man walks this planet. THE DEATH OF THE WHITE RACE is eternal. Make no mistake, WHITEMAN, the death of our Race, the creators of Law, Justice, Technology, Medicine, Housing - virtually everything of value - spells the end of civilization. Whiteman, look at the beautiful woman you love. Whitewoman, think about the future for your children. WHITEMAN, THINK. The decision is for this generation. Your children will be outnumbered fifty to one by colored people, who have been inflamed to hatred of our people by the JEWSMEDIA. Nature's laws are as impartial as they are harsh. Love your own kind, fight for your own kind or perish, as have many thousands of other species. YOUR FIRST LOYALTY MUST BE TO YOUR RACE WHICH IS YOUR NATION!

I've seen it brought up in a couple of places, but I have never experienced it so I am not sure. I think these things are more "I used to be a nerd in school and now I'm a grown nerd who isn't forced to socialize with other people that could potentially bully me" but they don't tend to realize the second part is more about location and the fact that adults don't tend to pick on people like school bullies do.

I've seen it brought up in a couple of places, but I have never experienced it so I am not sure. In my experience if you are already ostracized everything connected with you will be seen as a negative anyway. I love reading comics and I loved reading comics when I was a school kid. I suffered some mild bullying but that had nothing to do with reading comics though, and in one year of school some of the cooler kids started reading comics and no-one cared. Hell, comic book trading cards were very popular at my school.

You will never know who is and isn't a Jew.

This almost makes me think that edit was ironic. Why not blame the Jews? They are actually literally pro-circumcision on the record, and also they exist (and are already a popular conspiracy target, too!). Why do the illuminati care about dicks? Why would Satanists, who don't exist in the way people think they do, but those who do are basically libertarians who believe in freedom? Why is it hilarious to me that when I see "male genital mutilation" I think MGM and therefore the former Disney park? There are so many questions. Luckily, Alex Sheppard will not rest until all answers are known.

If you haven't read the entire thread by now you really, honestly should.

Don't try to blame it on the jews just because you can't deal with a satanic illuminati conspiracy. Not cool dude.
