I love how the "R" word has become more of word of convenience rather than based on facts now a days. I fully admit I step close to the line on things but I strongly feel I've never once crossed those lines on social media in anyway. I never use any disparaging racial comments with offense intended. I will NEVER apologize for my heritage, skin color, gender, my hate for onions, or whatever. It's socially accepted for anyone to be proud of themselves these days, unless they are white, and any celebration of that is immediately branded as racist. Why? And this is not a proclamation of White Power or anything, just me fed up.
Just because I share articles or posts that I feel won't get seen otherwise, is that offensive?
If you feel my posts are offensive to you or you see them as racist, that's your own problem, you need to work that out within yourself, but I'm willing to listen to your gripes and be opened up to a pint of view I may not have considered and if I feel it necessary I will absolutely offer an apology or at the minimum be more cautious the next time. But to sit back and take offense and stick me with a label, is a chickenshit move and one that perpuates the problem within this country.
Nowhere in the glorious 1st ammendent does it say "you have the right to not be offended" that's the beauty of where we live, the opportunity for open and honest discussion, and it cannot continue to be hampered down by people looking for a reason to be offended.
I have posted many links to stories exposing atrocities committed by Hispanics, whites, blacks, Asians, gays etc. it doesn't matter to me, what their race, if it disgusts me and I feel others may want to know, I will post it with absolutely no remorse.
Just because I may say "controversial" things at times, don't pretend like you don't want to say the same thing or have had the same thoughts, I just have the stones to say it and take the heat , if any.
Just because I'm from Utah and live in Idaho and dont travel alot, doesn't mean my opinion is any less valid or that I haven't done research enough to run my mouth. You guys can do things and believe what you want and I will continue to do mine without guilt or apology for doing so and hopefully you won't be offended to much, but if you are...oh well, I don't give a care. Most of my posts are in the attempt of being funny, and that's for you to decide whether they are or aren't. To be honest I'm more worried about my jokes getting positive feedback than anything else I post politically or not.
So if you want to discuss your offense or state your case as to my alleged racism, I'm happy to have that conversation at any point.
In closing, God bless you and god bless the United States of America.
