People toss the "racist" term around without restraint. In short, its genuine value is muddled. There is only one race of people on this planet, the human one. I hate them all, I am a racist in the most accurate sense.

I hope that wasn't in response to my post that was directly above this, because if it was you are sorely mistaken. See, when I toss around the term 'racist' it's because actually warranted.
Unfortunately, White Supremacy is deeply ingrained in the American psyche. Thus, racist bullshit is extremely prevalent in the US.
That's just the truth.
Now, if that's not something you'd normally be inclined to worry yourself with, I get it. Don't.
That's fine by me. Honestly.
And if you'd like to blame any apathy on your part, future intrusive thoughts, unsavory affiliations, a 2020 vote for Trump, drugs use, high lipid count, potholes or whatever on folks recognizing racist fuckery and calling it what it is, that's fine with me too. Whatever floats your boat.
The show will go on, though.
It seems maybe my point has been missed.
Planet Earth has one, and only one race of people on it, the human one.
Sure, asshattery and blind hatred run rampant through the species. Humans are stupid. Very, very stupid.
The species love to dissect themselves countless insignificant little bundles.
There are only 2 types of people, cool ones, and assholes. It's just that simple.
Yeah, some people are racist assholes, though. Some are stupid assholes. Some are dismissive..lol
And some are dangerous.
"Race" is quite real, as a social construct at the very least. In that sense, it is indeed a reality--One that many of us simply don't have the luxury of pretending doesn't exist.
So if my specificity in using the word "racist" triggers you and makes you feel personally attacked somehow, I don't what to say.
I can't help you.

This a delusion you suffer from, resulting from the disease of racism.
Zimmerman had no good reason for stalking and accosting the teen. Martin, however DID have good reason to be concerned for his safety and well-being. He was being being stalked by a creepy fucking weirdo who may very well have initiated the physical altercation, who knows? All we have is that sack of shit Zimmerman's word. Dead men tell no tales.
Sentiments as to what warrants self-defense constantly shift for folks like you, dependent on the melanin content (or immigrant status) of the parties involved. I guarantee if a Black or Brown stranger started stalking/chasing your ass down a dark street at night, you'd feel thoroughly justified in popping a few caps in them preemptively instead of waiting to be attacked....."I can and will exercise the right to stand muh ground! "
Yet Martin reacting with force was "unacceptable". Lol...savage, even.
You motherfuckers are full shit and everyone knows it. You know it too.
Yet you still insist on pretending you're capable of objectivity, fairness or justice when it comes to such matters. It's fucking hilarious.
Assdork.
You just don't fucking get it.
You NEVER have the right to physically assault someone. Period. Full STOP. End of story.
It.doesn't make a mothetfucking bit of difference what bad language is used or how badly you are offended.
It doesn't matter if someone slanders you, your mother, your sex, color or what planet you're from.
YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PHYSICALLY ASSAULT SOMEONE IN RETALIATION TO SPEACH.
I don't give a fuck for your childish schoolyard rules by which you would like the world to abide by.
The grownups here are talking about the.law
The law is - if you physically assault someone - and they believe they are in danger of being injured or killed - they can use any means available to force you to stop your assault.
Your schoolyard rules do not apply.
Uh-huh.
So, if you're chased down and confronted by an unknown stalker in the dark of night as a fine hu-White citizen, are you drawing your gun or making any attempt to defend yourself or not?
What say ye?
You lying, hypocritical, racist sack of shit.
