-Removed-“Some, many, Republicans are at this moment utterly in contempt of the Democrats who are the other tribe. They see them as stealing their land, their resources and their freedoms. It’s the same energy as racism.”
Look you are subconsciously doing it right here in this post while trying to explain the thing itself!! That’s rich!
@montymoose saidVery good post!
I'm 68 and was born in the deep south, USA.
I grew up in a racist era, a racist town, and a racist family.
The racism was always there under the surface, but it might not show up everyday. The area was segregated as were the schools. Everyone knew that 'DewBerry' was the Black section and Fort Oglethorpe was for Whites. The first time I sat in a school classroom with a ...[text shortened]... protests put fear in people's heart. That fear can still be flamed today as Donald Trump has shown.
@athousandyoung saidActually, plenty of Liberal Leftist "women" do 😄
I hate to break it to you but women in most places do not have small penises.

You’ve never seen a naked woman in your life.
@cheesemaster saidYah... I’ve seen roadkill I’d be more jealous of.
Stop hating me because I'm handsome 🙄
My little shavpoo gets so jealous 🤗

Not Patzering, not Old Indian, but one of your others.
-Removed-"Footballs fans generally are derided the world over because of their idiotic abusive and sometimes violent behaviour"
Bit of football fanism here.
Work out the numbers who usually watch the game all round the world every week. Remember the media like to report football related violence from anywhere in the world and then you realise how low the prevalence is. It's nothing compared to Saturday night when the clubs turn out in any English town.
I went regularly in the late 70s and 80s when it was at its height and it was still a minority that you could avoid. These days I happily take my daughters. I've seen next to nothing first hand in 20 years including travelling away to England matches and watching Liverpool in Europe. In fact Liverpool fans are usually welcomed by locals who want to have a drink and sing with us.
I was in Marseilles when England played Russia in 2016 and it kicked off at the other end of the ground with a group of crazy Russians dressed in black attacking people. For me that was weird and isolated (I've watched football regularly for 47 years).
In general sport is a healthy outlet for tribalism with the vast majority knowing where to draw the line. Responsibly run sport leads the way combating racism. LFC are very active in the fight against racism and have helped break down barriers within the local community.
@divegeester Different “isms” but it’s all the same hate energy.
It’s just that racism which gets the most column inches.
well put
