    Uh, you talked about yourself.....nothing about what you specifically thought of Adam's statements. Amazing.

    My take was pretty clear.

    As far as Adams goes, what he said is nothing different than what the MSM and Internet says daily about white people.

    Neither are constructive, but saying the same thing about whites is widely accepted by the left.

    It sure as hell is accepted by them. But everyone's supposed to be all upset about this guy.

    Yeah I don't think he's going to pull another one like that.... But that of course largely depends on how much money he has. I seriously doubt she liked older men just for the silver hair

    You made it clear…..talking about yourself not Adams.

    Adams said nothing different than what’s on MSM? MSM spews daily racism against whites is hyperbole and a siege mentality. Oh, I’m an oppressed white man. So that is all you can say about his statement? You can’t condemn it? You must agree then. And using the internet as an example is also nonsense because you can cherry pick any point of view you want out of it. You picked something from the internet that blows up your premise about being no different than Adam’s opinion.

    What, did you just read the title? These guys are saying it's not true and stupid.
    But are you taking consolation in the fact that if some of another race are racist then it's okay to be racist against their race? Is that your logic?

    Yes, I made it clear what my opinion was in contrast to Adams.

    Thoughts and prayers if that's not enough for you. It'll just have to be enough for you though.

    What does MSM stand for? Does it stand for Fringe Stream Media?

    Nah white people aren't whining about the constant anti-white message being spewed by the MSM and people who think it's not ok to be white. We don't let it get in the way of success like leftists. If people want to hate me because of my skin color I don't really give a ****. If people like that get in my way I'll go through them. Hard.

    I find it ironic that the people saying there is no racism being used against whites, when it's blatantly obvious, are the first people to cry about how they can't get ahead because of racism.

    What a bunch of bloviating, loser hypocrites.

    There's no law saying that you have to like everyone.

    I don't dislike black people in general but I do tend to be more skeptical of them and there is good reason for that.

    A good amount of them are extremely rude arrogant and entitled. And if they don't immediately get their way they have no problem being racist.

    I have not seen the remarks, but the newspapers, which are private entities, have the freedom to decide what they publish, and what they won't publish?

    Should CEOs watch what they say? If they want to remain profitable, then yes, - of course. If he wants to make comments which are sure to be offensive to certain groups, then he'll probably pay the price. This is nothing new BTW. Countless people have lost their jobs because of their mouth. If you're bad for business, you're out.

    I think he's got money, so he might be able to pull another Instagram model in the future.

    So you refuse to give your opinion of Adams' statements. Okay dodge it.
    Speaking of bloviating….you come out with absurdities that you cannot demonstrate like MSM daily says racist things about white people. You go on with this siege mentality, the world is against white people and you are ready to fight.

    I find it ironic that the most racist can only see racism against themselves.

    If there were a law against racism you would at least be wearing an ankle bracelet.
    Racism is a negative bias against a race, which you just demonstrated.

    And you would at least need someone to bond you out of jail.

    The only problem you have is that the things I said are true.

    How is black comedians doing "white voice," making fun of white people different from white actors using black face to make fun of black people???

    I have worked with the public for forty years with a proportionally high number of African Americans as clients. I can say your statement is false and that you definitely have a negative bias against Blacks....now what's that called?
    Now you get to demonstrate my racism that you accused me of.

    Blackface is considered racist because it is a form of entertainment that originated in the 19th century when white performers used theatrical makeup to caricature and stereotype African Americans. They exaggerated features like the lips, nose, and hair to create a demeaning and dehumanizing portrayal of black people.

    These performances were often used to reinforce negative stereotypes about African Americans, perpetuate racial prejudices, and justify discriminatory laws and practices. Blackface became an integral part of minstrel shows, a popular form of entertainment that depicted black people as lazy, ignorant, and inferior.

    Blackface has a deeply hurtful and offensive history, and it continues to evoke feelings of pain and humiliation among African Americans. It is seen as a form of cultural appropriation that trivializes the experiences and struggles of black people and reinforces the idea of white supremacy.

    In short, blackface is considered racist because it promotes harmful stereotypes, reinforces systemic racism, and perpetuates the oppression of black people. It is important to recognize the history and harm of blackface and to work towards creating a society that is inclusive, equitable, and respectful of all cultures and communities.
    Thank you ChatopenAI
    And "black comedians doing 'white voice,' making fun of white people" doesn't do that.

    That's a good point.

    Funny thing is.....the ones that did that.....are leftists.

    Oh and incidentally, I'm not making fun of Preach and Aba if that was your point.

    Those two are awesome.

    I'm talking about the material they are reviewing.

    I gave my opinion.

    Would you like me to virtue signal? Yeah, it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.

    Clearly the anti-white agenda is promoted daily on MSM channels.

    I won't bother pointing it out since:

    A. I don't care what you think
    B. You already know

    I don't know the context of the other two black faces, but people were so outraged with Downey he got an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor for the role.

    Did and done. Now you or continue dodging.

    A. Your absurd statement is without proof
    B. You know it is
