You are. Which is why we are done.😎

The fact you focused solely on that instead of the actual facts speaks volumes.😎 Well I am certainly glad I could provide you all with such a deep conversations about HNC vs HNIC. lol Both have been used and both are correct. You all know what I said. So quit playin too. Lmao!!!!😂😎

Ya as I said I am pretty much done with you because everything you just said was BS anyway. I've been on the same point and haven't deviated once. You have shifted the conversation a few times and I rolled with it, but if in your brain that's how it went down then I'll let you keep thinking that. Either way we are done. End of conversation. Take care now.😎

Keith Passmore a 12 year boy who was white murdered in a black neighborhood. My neighborhood. Murdered for nothing. I got receipts too. Plenty of them. The only difference between you showing me yours and me showing you mine is that I actually know mine. So you really wanna compare? Because I got a list a mile long of dead children on both sides of the fence. Murdered by so called brothers! Not white men, but brothers, ....sister. I don't see no justice for any of them. None! So go on let's compare. I'll show you another dead child I knew personally. Babies even. Pick a color any color. I don't see no BLM or anyone else for that matter helping with that. Every child I know who's gone white, black, brown, or otherwise I don't see no one doing jack about it. So don't come to me dropping links because it's the new media hype people are crying about. Come to me from the heart or just don't come at all.🤨 https://www.wsav.com/news/special-report-3-years-no-answers-in-12-year-olds-murder/ You have an actual point or are you just running laps?🤨 Maybe it is. Maybe you right. Maybe I'm seeing it wrong. Ima take a station break from this conversation though. I kind of think I need to. Take care and stay safe and stay blessed sister.😎

You can take it how you want. Makes me no never mind because I don't really care how you take it. Ain't no black folks getting hung in this state since you want to get technical about it. So some white people did a protest and? What's your point? I mean serious what you think you trying to prove around here? There are still racist white people? I see more black racists in the community then I do them white folks so I for one ain't sweating them one bit. So at the end of the day you didn't prove nothing sister.😎 Here's a thought. How about we get our black on black crime in check before we worry about a hand full of white protesters. I mean you can't realistically expect another race to respect a race that doesn't even show value and respect to themselves. And when that's done let's focus on the black on white crime which is happens way entirely more often then the white on black crime. How about we do that first before we worry about them inbred white boys. lol 😎 Do your research and if you do it correctly you will find the same exact answers that I have. Unless your just blind to the problem. There is always that.😎 You rack em and I'll crack em. Here is a direct quote straight from the mouth of Deedra Climer a white member of the BLM. "As for the role of white voices in a black movement, Climer said it's whatever black people say it is." Talk about brainwashed. She may as well have said, "Yessir Massa!". lol 😎 I misread what you meant then. I took it as you trying to say no one thinks that happens. I apologize for that. I am sorry.😎

I'll tell you why it offends me. Because the goal should be one of equality not supremacy. I want a sister/brother not a slave. I believe in a hand up. Not a hand out. So no white people should absolutely not be blindly lining up to be told what to do because it's wrong. They should be lining up to work out the problems side by side as one on a united front. If you've read some of the demands the BLM has put out in the past in regards to white people some of them are ridiculous. I can't see how anybody in their right mind would even take them seriously after that. You see I don't have a problem with reaching the goal of equality. That's never been the issue. My issue isn't even with the average member or supporter trying to do good and make a difference in the world. My issue is with the HNC's and so called high profile activists out there that call some of these shots and what they are doing with the power and trust they have been given because they are a disgrace. Under the right leadership the BLM in time could be a great organization. I don't want to be given anything. I don't feel owed. I work for my living. Same as everyone else. 😎

Maybe because I live here and ain't no one that stupid enough to come rolling up in this neighborhood wearing bed sheets let alone shouting the N word because they know they'd get shot. Just a guess. lol So ya I am part of the anti-klan patrol. It's called living in the hood. lmao!!!! 😎 Oh ya it's multicultural all right. And white people in the BLM more often then not get told their role is whatever black people say it is. Man if that don't spell equality then I don't know what does. lol 😎 Your right that don't sound anything like the Klan telling black folks they should be serving them. Don't sound nothing like it at all. lol I'm sorry. It sure must be my age getting to me then. It happens sometimes. lol 😎 No one huh? lol Ya ok. You keep on thinking that then. lol😎

Ya I've had some short friends I've had to pull out of a few jams myself back in my younger days because they never learn when to shut it on up. lol It's always the big fellas like your husband and myself that are generally the quiet ones when we go out. It's that stand in the background quietly and just let me know if there is a problem babe mentality we have. lol Ya from what your saying I am thinking I can understand and relate to him real well. lol 😎

Wise choice.😎

That's awesome. lol I don't even know your husband and I like him already. lol 😎

Ya I'd have to agree with you on that. I live here in Georgia and around here in these parts they done got kicked out long time ago just like we did with the devil. lol 😎

You'd think in the year 2020 we'd be past all that BS by now. I remember thinking as a kid I can't wait until the future gets here. Now it's here and it's like seriously? This is what I waited for? What happened to humanity evolving? This really sucks. lol 😎

The Klan is dead didn't you know? We sent troops in to raid them for all their bed sheets and pillow cases so we could make more masks to help aid in the fight against COVID19. Lmao!!!!😎

I don't know what mmos you play or what servers you play on, but no I don't really see all that. Probably because the people who play have enough sense to know they will get banned. lol As for Twitch streams again that's a no so I guess it'd be all about who you watch and what your playing. If you would have mentioned F13 or Rust then I might have agreed, but the only MMO at best I can even think of that may have the level of stupidity in which you are referring to might be WoW and I don't do WoW mate. lol 😎

As far as I know mate they all kind of went under right a long with the other sports leagues that used to be around a long time ago. Next time I am on I'll see if any of my old mates are on who did a lot of that and try to find out for sure if I can. Sports in SL in general kinda went the way of the dodo. I was a professional boxer and earned a living doing it and now days I might have a sparring match at best ever so many months. lol 😎

Enjoy.😎

Believe it or not I actually said the same thing on Twitter that I did here under my gaming account that I keep entirely separate from SL I set up for my Youtube channel I am currently working on and I got a massive amount of support and followers because of it including someone famous even. lol Got my first famous star follower. lol Woot!!!! lol So I must be doing something right. Lmao!!!!😎

Ya I've gotten that same impression too from some of the responses I've read on this thread. Your exactly right though. This isn't the first rodeo ride and time something like this has happened and there will be uproar and all types of stuff and people will get their feathers ruffled for a while and yack yack yack yada yada yada and go on their little witch hunts and innocent people more often then not suffer because of it, but at the end of the day when time goes on everything will settle back down right until someone else decides to kick up some more dust and it's rinse and repeat all over again. So what I generally laugh at is that nothing real ever gets done about it when all is finally said and done and no real change ever gets made which is pretty pathetic and sad actually. Lives get ruined for absolutely nothing. I presented my logical solution to the change needed so I am pretty much done with it at this point. lol So ya I actually kind of agree with you mate. I've already had my good laugh reading threw this thread so like you I'm thinking it's pretty much about time to move on now. Lmao!!!!😎 That's kind of hypocritical considering you say you don't go about denouncing the efforts of others yet you have absolutely no problem insulting a total stranger you just met and know absolutely nothing about and didn't even take the time to get to know. I don't really think that qualifies you to be in a position to speak on someone else's mentality when you need to get yours in check.😎 Maybe you just need to read and actually comprehend what people are saying to you rather then making up your own bit of nonsense trying to tell them what they mean. Your not a mind reader and you don't speak for anyone other then yourself. I spoke very clearly. I didn't mince words. So you either understand what is said or you didn't. I've clarified myself already. Beyond that I can't help you any further because you don't really seem like you want to understand what people say to you. You seem to like to go back and forth with people on it. I've pretty much stated my position and feelings. I even went so far as to explain why. What I said made perfect sense even. So I really am pretty much done with it at this point.😎

Oh wow. I hadn't updated mine yet so I haven't seen this message yet, but I do got got a question. People support what they want to support as they should and I am not surprised to see these types of discussions here given the type of platform SL is, but since when did politics, social issues, and gaming become a thing? lol I mean every gamer will tell you the two don't mix and mesh very well because they play whatever they play to escape all of that. I mean only recently started playing around with Sims 4 myself a few months back right before the whole COVID19 thing broke out and when they released the Eco Lifestyle expansion while it didn't bother me there were a lot of complaints on the forums about it being in bad taste on the timing of it which I kind of agreed with. I am almost curious to see what they are saying over there about this, but I am think probably best to just stay away. I get more then enough healthy debates with mates when on SL as it is anyway. lol 😎 I don't know maybe I am just wondering it because I still remember a time when mixing the two was basically taboo and now days it seems to becoming a normal practice. I'll probably fire up the game and read the official notice though. Thank you so much for sharing this. Good taste in games by the way. Two thumbs up. I am more of a Sims 2 kind of guy myself, but they didn't do to bad of a job on this one. It's kind of funny I seen this because my SL wife was the one who actually got me in to this game and I ended up playing it more then her. lol Anyway thanks again for the information mate. I appreciate it.😎

Wasn't my goal goal mate. I don't really got all that to do. I'll return the favor and give you get an A++++ for taking my words and putting them out of context yet again though. Good job.😎

If we weren't in the middle of as global pandemic I'd say you really need to get out more. lol I mean I thought we pretty much covered this already. lol Your just focused on that one thing aren't ya? lol Like a dog with a bone you just don't seem to be letting that go any time soon. lol As for me using the term girlfriend sorry if that was offensive to you. It is neither disingenuous &/or pandering, but I guess if I had just called you friend or mate I would have been accused of that as well too because it really is no different then either of those terms either. So since I can kind of already see where this is going then this is where I am going to respectfully bow out and grab a bite to eat. Time to take a station break. lol I sincerely do wish you all the best. Good luck. Take care now. Have an awesome and blessed day.😎

Well first I want to express my sympathies and say I am so very sorry for your loss. He's still your father regardless of the circumstances. I just wish you two could have resolved those differences. As for the reading of my post honestly I just thought you skimmed my post entirely like you said and I took that at face value because and maybe it's just because it's in type vs an actual voice conversation, but I felt totally and completely misunderstood. lol I felt like if this was a verbal conversation I would have been understood much better. Sometimes it just goes like that though. I want to clarify something to you though. I don't denounce per say as you put it the efforts of others unless those efforts ruin lives. Now that is something I can't abide. That's not what this country should ever be about. I'll never stand by that and I am sorry if you can't understand why or that I was just not clear enough about that. Now that having been said the only thing I did was give my reason I personally do not support the organization. If you support it then fine. That is your choice to do so. I will respect that choice. I will even support you in your choice. I only ask for the same in that my choice is in return also respected and I am supported in my own personal choices for myself. You mentioned the fact you felt I was very succinct that I wouldn’t be swayed. Well one should never start the conversation off with the goal of swaying views in the first place. One should always start off with trying to understand all the views on the table. Then go from there. If a view changes then great. If it doesn't then that is perfectly fine too. The important thing to gain is a better understanding and a mutual respect and build upon that. That's how bridges get made and the gaps get filled and real change takes place. Correct me if I am wrong, but it just seems to me that you pretty much walked in with the I will shut you down mentality. Yet I have had my arms open to you the entire time and perfectly willing to listen to everything you have said. I don't have to agree with you. Heck you don't even have to agree with me. I will respect you though and respect your point of view on things. We just have to respect each other. People have to respect each other. Some where in the world over time that got lost and we stopped communicating and respecting each other and things digressed. A lot of the issues of today are the same exact issues we had over 20 years ago. History is repeating itself yet again. Why? The answer is simple. Effort to real change is not being made nor has it ever really been truly made. When I was a kid 2020 was the future to me and the future in the movies looked more promising then the reality that has actually taken place. I see these things in the world and I ask myself how long will it take for people to finally grow brains? How many people got to die before it stops? The answer is until the day when people stop fighting and people start actually talking and respecting one another regardless of their personal views and beliefs it will always be a rinse and repeat of history over and over again. Now I am going to clue you in on a bit of a secrete here because you actually did something I did not like. It's the only bone I have to pick with you. Can you guess what it is? You didn't give yourself enough credit. I get it, but I almost feel like you downed yourself a bit here and that bothers me. So I am going to pat you a bit on the back my darn self. You are a Mother. You raised a man. As a parent I can totally relate to how hard that in itself can be and actually is. If we can't relate on anything else I bet we can relate on that much. lol Don't ever sell yourself short for that. Be proud you made it girlfriend. lol That is an achievement in itself. Believe me I know. lol 😎 Another thing. Even if you only ever helped one person in your life. You impacted a positive change for the better. I've in a sense been fortunate enough to see a lot of things in my life given my career choice which was both a blessing and a curse at times in a way. It was not with out a toll and it did exact a heavy price. When I had good days I really had good days and I remembered why I put myself threw what I did in the very first place, but when I had bad days I really did have bad days and it made it really hard for me to keep my game face on and be the rock for my team. I worked with a lot of people during my time and some of my most trusted, my best were Mothers just like you. I'd put my life in their hands anytime. Some of the crisis situations I dealt with when it came to dealing with civilians more often then not it was the Mothers just like you who kept it together. I'd see Mr. Tough Guy shaking in his boots over to the side, but Mom, Mom would gain this calm and straight out say tell me what I need to do. Needless to say I was impressed. So much so that it is moments like that and how people can come together during a crisis that stay with me and give me hope for the future when I think of my time on the job. So the moral of my little history story is this. Don't ever sell yourself short because when the poo hits the fan you just might surprise even yourself.😎

All right that is the first initial problem. It is a common problem among people today and a prime example of why progress has not been made over the generations. You did not bother to really read what I wrote or even attempt to gain any insight or understanding to the reasoning behind my point of view so with out that really and truly this discourse would probably go no where productive or positive. That's all well and good on paper, but when you actually do see what these organizations really and truly do on your own streets in your own neighborhood then you can come back to me and preach to me about how wonderful they are. I already gave one example of such actions which flies in the face of what this country stands for. I don't need to give another. As for the NAACP I am glad you know what their original founding goal was. That's great. That's perfect. Let me know when they come to your neighborhood with their hand out asking for money like they did mine so many years ago making false promises they never delivered on. When you have had that experience and you have personally dealt with them first hand then maybe you will have a better understanding then just the text book view on their organization. I've actually dealt with them first hand so your not going to school me on anything when it comes to them and I am not going to bother giving a class to someone who doesn't give me the respect of actually reading my words and trying to understand me any better then you have. Bottom line whether it was The Black Panther Party back in the day to the NAACP to Black Lives Matter today. There is always a group. There is always an agenda. There is always a reason they started. They are ALL always full of the same exact poo. That is just the reality of it. 😎 That is ignorance on your part to think it was only his murder that caught my attention. I can not indulge that. I am more of a man of action rather then words. So by all means please allow me to give you a bit of a background on me as well too. I'll give you the cliff notes version. At 18 I stood up to a gang in school who wanted to go race/gay bashing. Between 18 to 19 I saved another kid I knew from school from being gunned down to death in his own home. At 22 I saved a man from being stabbed to death in front of a grocery store. Later on I joined the Dept. Of Homeland Security when it first formed and at the rank of Lt. I lead a para-military unit, much like S.W.A.T. to give you a visual aid, in search and rescue missions on top of investigative work coordinating with various military and government agencies from the Secrete Service to the FBI on down to even the local authorities and even the Fire Dept.. I saved lives and I served my country. Enough of a resume for you? What have you done to fight injustice? I am going to respond to this first in two parts. The first part I want to address this is a prime example of not reading my post and understanding the context of it correctly. Had you done so then you would have known I was referring to and only to the fact people make stupid jokes especially when they are young and it really is not that serious nor should it ever be. People should especially not never ever loose their livelihood over it. Especially when it is 7 years down the road. BLM took it there and I can not respect any organization that is that ignorant. Bottom line. Plain and simple. Cliff notes version. Now for the second part. First I want to let you know I have no reason to block you and I would never laugh at something like that. To even think I would laugh at such an experience sends a message to me of what a low human being you must think of me. I don't think your a man hater and frankly after an experience like that I wouldn't really blame you if you were. And bleeding heart just never entered my mind. So no to all of the above. What I am is angry if anything on how your own father handled that entire situation. I don't want to be disrespectful, but to try and put this as politely as I can. As a Father myself, I really would like to knock your father on his behind. Call it a Dad to Dad moment if you will. Had he handled it better then perhaps it would not have impacted you in the way that it did or nearly as traumatically. I don't know. As Fathers it needs to be taken seriously when our daughters come to us with things of this nature and it is our job to ensure that it is taken seriously as well. Appalled I think would perhaps be the correct word when I think about this situation and what you experienced and I am so very and truly sorry that you had went threw that. One can only hope that the experience in court was enough of a scare for those young men that they never repeated such an experience ever again. Had you taken the time though and actually read my post and understood it in it's entirety as to what I was trying to say then I do not feel I come across as glib & nonchalant as you are seeming to make it out to be. Regardless I stand by what I said. I do dare a lot though. Guilty as charged. lol 😎 Thank you. Be better too. Stay safe and stay blessed.😎

Thank you so very much for posting this. I was about to ask what that was all about because my SL wife has been a premium member since well basically 2007 when she joined and even with her land for her store I am pretty sure she still only gets like 300 per week. I'd have to double check with her on it, but fairly sure she never seen an increase. lol Looks like she joined a year to late so that'd be why. lol As someone who wasn't impressed by what premium had to offer I would be more inclined to consider purchasing it if the stipend was a lot more then 300 a week. I don't really care though how they set that increase up by account age because realistically a very large amount of people who joined back then are no longer even around. So it really only benefits a few. If they are going to do it that way then I think anyone who's been around at least 5 years to a decade should start receiving something or even do small yearly increases. Make retaining the longevity of the membership even worth it. Ah well. Just my opinion though. At the end of the day it doesn't really bother me one way or the other. I just buy the lindens for what I want anyway. lol Thanks again for sharing that information mate. I really do appreciate it. 😎

To answer the OP's question my answer is no I am not nor will I ever show support for Black Lives Matter or any other segregated based groups based on race, sexuality, or anything else for that matter. I believe in All Lives Matter and I don't believe in x,y, and z rights, I believe in HUMAN rights up to and including the rights of all living things which should be respected and honored as well too. I thought the NAACP was bad back in the day, but I am noticing a disturbing increase of witch hunts from people flying under the BLM flag such as for example the firing of Hartley Sawyer who plays The Elongated Man on the CW's show The Flash over 7 year old alleged racist tweets dug up from Skai Jackson a so called BLM activist and regardless of how successful is still an 18 year old child btw which makes the firing even more messed up that grown adults are taking drama rants from a kid this seriously. I read the tweets and the reality is the worse thing the man said was that he implied he may be a racist. His poor attempts at humor 7 years ago had been dug up for the sole purpose of targeting a successful white man with no other agenda other then to smear his name over some stupid comments. Which even if he was a racist realistically speaking right or wrong that is well with in his freedom and rights to be one if that is truly his choice. I honestly don't think he is, but still it's his choice as well as anyone's choice really. Take that away you dishonor the freedoms our American military vets fought, suffered, and died for. Everyone has a right to choose what they wish to believe in without fear of persuasion for it. The fact that he was persecuted basically is a slap if not a direct spit in the face to those very freedoms. That alone is reason enough not to support such an organization that endorses such destructive behavior to our country. As for his so called misogynistic tweets let's be real honest here. He didn't say anything no more or less stupider then any and every other young heterosexual man on the planet has said at least once in his life time when joking around. Show me a man who says he didn't and I'll show you a man who is both a liar and what we call a Yes Man. lol That's just the hard reality and truth of it. Men make jokes and women do to. Nothing wrong with it. Been that way since the dawn of time. It's not gonna change. They call it The Battle Of The Sexes for a reason folks. lol The real fun begins when you become a parent and catch your kids making jokes because now you have to correct them and get them right while keeping a straight face and trying not to laugh so they know your in fact serious about it. Then later you can laugh with your wife/husband about it and say your not gonna believe what bit of stupid just came out of their mouth today and what I had to deal with. lol Asked them where they learned it from and they said school. lol Tax dollars at work. lol 😎 Now what I find hypocritical about this unfortunate incident all jokes aside that irks me when it comes to the issue of equality is that a black man can stand up and talk about murdering white kids out right and no one bats an eye about it and some even laugh at their lame jokes told such as what Chris Rock exactly did on his horrid Netflix show that wasn't even remotely funny or entertaining. So in the interest of equality using their own logic and sticking with it by all rights Chris Rock should no longer have a job in Hollywood or Eddie Murphy for that matter. We should even ban Richard Pryor's content as well if we were to use that type of narrow minded logic. So when I see things like this it makes it hard for me, a person of ethnic heritage to take such an organization seriously because all I see is ignorance and I've already seen ignorance enough in one life time. So I think I will ignore the next generation of stupid until people learn to get it together. Because it just doesn't send a positive message of equality and equal rights and the value of life for all to me. Now I get lately a big part of it is that folks got all fired up with what happened to George Floyd. I admit even I did. What got me fire up though wasn't just what the cops did. It was the mass amount of people who stood by and did absolutely nothing to save this man. I am not even counting everyone in that either. I am counting the so called GROWN MEN out there who did nothing. The ones who talk the talk, but when the time came to WALK THE WALK they stood by like little *******. They did NOTHING and what? Now they want to cry about it? Get the **** out of here. To late now. Those who did nothing are just as guilty in my book as those who committed the crime. Maybe I am hard and harsh because of my beliefs and my generation or even the fact that I have had training, but I know with out a shadow of a doubt what I would have done because I can't in good conscious let someone murder someone in front of me like that. I don't care who they are. I sure would not want to on the day of my judgement go before God The Father and have to explain why I stood idly by like a coward and did absolutely nothing let alone stand there and video it? I saw the video. That man called for help and no one did nothing. So as far as I am concerned they don't have the right to say a freaking thing or speak on the man's behalf who they let die. I will never understand how anyone could have ever done that. Daryl Davis has the right idea. When people are talking they are not fighting and they sure as heck are not trying to kill each other. The only way to ever solve the problem is to understand the root of the problem and only then can you with real effort, patience, and understanding make real change. Now he got the leader of the KKK to quit and change his life. That's as good a starting point as any and one heck of a stepping stone if you ask me. Now just think what we all could accomplish if everyone did this. What a better world we could have if our actions actually once again spoke louder then our words vs everyone playing the hate filled drama crybaby blame game when their actions have been none. Maybe one day the world will wake the fork up. Hopefully in my lifetime. lol😎
