I would only expect people to do what they are able to do.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
I would only expect people to do what they are able to do.How does that sit with you? Would you sometimes prefer that people try to be more understanding of your perspective? Or at least respect you regardless of differences?
Those terms describe attitudes rather than the personal data you shared. But thanks for that.Somehow all this translates into me being a white supremacist, racist, transphobic, xenophobic, homophobic, white privileged member of the patriarchy.
That sounds fair and rather "woke" in itself.I would only expect people to do what they are able to do.
Fair, maybe...Woke, I certainly hope not.That sounds fair and rather "woke" in itself.
I would say the data shared is indicative of the attitudes. You cannot separate the two. Someone said actions speak louder than words. Anyone can display false attuites and virtue signal. Show me a man's life and I will show you his heart.Those terms describe attitudes rather than the personal data you shared. But thanks for that.
How do you define "woke"?Fair, maybe...Woke, I certainly hope not.
Wait didn't we start this discussion with that question?How do you define "woke"?
yes, but did you give an opinion?Wait didn't we start this discussion with that question?
I disagree. In spite of all you shared you could still hold racist attitudes.I would say the data shared is indicative of the attitudes. You cannot separate the two.

well it is not so far to look back and find out now is it?yes, but did you give an opinion?
You left out the same and guilt you are supposed to feel to be truly woke.In my mind, "Woke" is simply awareness, sensitivity and respect for people different than me in race, color, creed, ethnicity, class or anything, for that matter.
My understanding and beliefs about racism were formed from a seminar I attended while in the USAF. They taught us that everyone has racist tendencies. Everyone. Anyone who tells you they do not are liars and are putting up a false front. The key to defeating the resident racism in your human nature is to acknowledge it and resolve to not succumb to it. I choose to treat my fellow humans with dignity and respect. When I hear people claim they have no racist tendences, I have to wonder what else they are hiding. They either do not know themselves very well, are in denial, or are simply lying.I disagree. In spite of all you shared you could still hold racist attitudes.
I agree with much of what you said. Something occurred to me ad I looked it up.My understanding and beliefs about racism were formed from a seminar I attended while in the USAF.

Again. it is what you do, not your virtue signaling or attitudes that define who and what you are.
As a believer I repent and resolve before my Lord that I will crucify my flesh, I will die daily, and will be transformed by the renewal of my mind with His word. I choose to walk in love and in the Spirit.
I find dubious those who preach that they have no racist tendencies, are better than everyone else and use this as a weapon against the rest of us who acknowledge our nature, and strive to overcome it, while all they do is virtue signal, use this as a weapon, and judge others.
I think it has something to do with acting offended by everything and attempting to control the speech of others.
Well I did leave off a couple of things but I doubt you want to hear them.You mean this?
Seriously?
No need to be peevish.Well I did leave off a couple of things but I doubt you want to hear them.
Yes... I have seen it.You mean this?
Seriously?
