Serious question for lunchbox : do you have a lot of immediate family who live in India and elsewhere in the diaspora? If so, at times "coloured" might be used in a different way, but in the US, "colored" is black.
no offense (mine isn’t so maybe it’s why we’re having a problem communicating) but is English your first language? Again I’m not talking about individual experiences, I’m talking about the experience as a whole. The black experience in America isn’t comparable to most other groups. Again are you a recent immigrant? I ask because using “colored” to describe yourself so flippantly illustrates a lack of knowledge of the word and its history. You’re excusing hate directed at a group you’re not a member of it’s like excusing transphobia or homophobia but not being a member of those communities. You’re not allowed to tell them how they should feel about hate directed towards them.
by happenstance am reading a book on Japanese American experiences during the Second World War. Thousands of college age kids got thrown into camps because their parents were born in Japan, and basically shamed into fighting for the Army that was incarcerating them and their families to prove their patriotism. Their basic training was in Mississippi and a group of them get off the train and are trying to figure out which bathroom to use. The officer debated it for a few moments before telling them to use the white bathroom because they weren’t colored. anyway I thought that was an interesting window on this country’s shameful treatment of black Americans
Great research but doesn’t really factor in how many out of state/country students go into those numbers, especially for Texas. As the flagship they essentially don’t do the job they’re tasked with.
First I learned of Japanese internment was as a young kid reading this book. Can see why fucktard gop types want to ban this, explaining shameful history to young kids is the easiest way to get them to accept everyone.
An Auburn fan posting a racist, transphobic Aggie account making a bad joke about the Texas fans. We deserve Trump.
tmb really needs an alert so people can see crazy meltdowns like in this thread so people aren’t just not looking at totally unrelated threads
I’ve had personal interaction with freak outside the board so I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Seems weird to just post something that racist for no reason.
your heart is in the right place but no. that’s who he is. he’s a republican who’s too embarrassed to talk his actual beliefs. he’s an absolute moron just wait he’ll post a dumbass gif here soon
what an aggressive four pages of TMBing. start off with a nice dunk on dbl because everyone enjoys that and then right into whatever in the fuck the last 3.5 pages were, my gracious.
