But what if you have black friends just because they’re good people regardless of color.
An old buddy I worked with was an awesome dude. We hit it off from the word go and had a blast doing some really hard shit. He was also black, but I wasn’t friends with him because of it.
Ooops. It’s a white woman who does the thinking too much about what white people think on behalf of black people.
And this is the problem with woke thinking. There is no litmus test a white person could pass to show they are not racist. No matter what one does that is offered as proof of not being a racist, it can always be responded to with, “well, you can still be racist.” I think the white people who say that are betraying how they really feel. I also believe that any person who says they are antiracist is an actual racist. I mean, if you go through your day actively combating racist thoughts and trying to not commit racist acts, then you might have to face the reality that you are a racist. Even this article betrays the racism on the part of the author and those like her. When she says “trying too hard” is racist she implies that trying itself is not racist. I would argue that if you have to try to not be racist, regardless of the degree of trying, you are a racist. I would also say that you probably didn’t grow up around many, if any, black people because if you had, that whole mindset would have sorted itself out on its own naturally.
So when someone says they can’t be racist because they have friends who are black, the person who responds with you can still be racist probably has none. They also show that they don’t know what friendship, as well as what racism, really mean. I have friends and family members who are black and when someone says you can still be racist, I can’t wrap my head around it. It makes no sense to me. It can only make sense to racists.
Only in America would that be classed as a white woman fucking lol.
As opposed to white Americans who don’t care about being called racist by non white people. LOL. Not like its all white people on twitter seem to be whining about. “political correctness gone mad” folks get triggered over what people say about them more than jihadists do lol.
I have a hard time deciphering your posts. What I do know is that you and your nasty girlfriend care a lot about what people you consider peasants think.
Yep. Hell, I’d almost go as far as saying anyone who derogatorily calls someone else a racist is, in fact, a racist.
In order to not be a racist, you have to be friends with them purely because of the color of their skin. Let me put this in simple terms: You have to judge people purely based on their race while not judging people for their race.
No way. Some of them are just assholes.
Like the guy who employed me for a while. Started out all wine & roses. He said he believes in giving everybody a second chance, blah blah blah. Thats why everybody- like 40 people, in his company had a record & served time.
So it turns out that we were supposed to be in the local laborers union. But they never heard of him and he was keeping our dues. Turns out that people with legal problems are the last ones on earth to want to call the cops or other legal entities. And he even had a few inside guys in the company to recruit and report back with the shit we were talking.
And I was the token white guy.
And! And! AND!
When all hell broke loose and he skipped town, guess who he mailed all of the paychecks to? To be distributed by?
Me! The fuckin cracka! Delivering paychecks to a bunch of dudes that have done time for aggravated assault, rape, murder, kidnapping, etc.
Unless you already own one, since you weld, have you ever thought about owning your own fabrication shop? (construction or non-construction)
Have you ever thought about making railings?
Just completely random questions lol
I currently kinda do. I set up shop at my old tree cutting buddys (we started that just after high school, I did it for about 13 years, then moved on into welding & stuff). And now a couple other companies bring stuff over to be repaired & welded. Then I charge accordingly.
I’ve thought about other products, but I really can’t push to meet timelines on larger coordinated construction projects. Due to heart failure I can work an 8-10 hour day, then have to take a couple off, or 2 in a row to get a piece of equipment done over the weekend, but that takes me down for about 4 days.
I fabricated windows for churches for a long time:
And know ahead of time that nobody gives a fuck about your problems when there are tens or hundreds of million dollars in play.
I have a good time with this stuff though and it keeps the wolves at bay.
I think you’ve posted pictures here of church windows you were working on.
Yeah. I only have a few, so they’re always the same.
I like this one, cuz it goes with the pic above and I’m actually in it. We did the whole set for that one, because it was a new construction after an f-5 tornado destroyed the whole previous church.
Also a good example of the deadline thing. Those were loaded up and driven to the jobsite in Indiana from PA over night on the last day/night of the deadline.
At this point I just don’t know we’re supposed to do, lol. Being colorblind is racist because you’re ignoring racism. Being anti-racist is low-key kinda racist because reasons.
It’s low-key fucking annoying.
I had a guy off of craigslist do a repair on my car’s exhaust. One of the previous owners deleted the resonator and crudely welded in a straight pipe, that eventually broke at the weld. This guy that did the repair seems to do a lot of trailer and exhaust repair with a few other projects here and there. He started doing this stuff while working at a shop, but eventually got enough jobs that he quit the welding job and just does these craigslist projects now.
It seemed to me that this guy figured out a way to work part time, but with a high hourly rate (which is not easy with part time work). He really only puts up an ad on craigslist about once a week to get work.
Yep. He can stay busy for a lifetime if he does good work. Reputation is priceless.
I directed a friend of a friend to do something similar after he became disabled in a workplace incident. He can take the work on as able, do it in his own time and own way, and not have a boss breathing down his neck about performance metrics or watch tapping. Theres plenty of stuff like that to go around if someone has the skills.
if they have small hats then maybe
That didn’t take long. And I was referring to this, you basement dweller:
I want this, but for Sasuke to be late.
I’ve never ceased to be impressed by your work whenever I see it posted lol.
