Also Timber:

"Racism, as an institution, was virtually dead in America...until Obama. Obama fanned those embers back into a roaring fire. now, an entire generation of people...people who were children when Obama was elected...believe that America is no different than it was in the 1950s...or 1930s...or 1870s. this, despite the world around them to the contrary.

People who aren't racists have begun to resent...because they're only people, after all...being relentlessly called that which they are not, and masses of "otherwise never would be" are tired of it. "Fine," they think. "you want to keep calling me a racist? then I'll become one." this is simple human nature. The result?

Thousands, if not millions, of people who would otherwise extend the benefit of the doubt instead retract it, because there is no benefit of the doubt extended to them. Neighbor treats neighbor with suspicious distrust, assuming that the other assumes they are racists.

And the race baiters like BLM, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the rest love it, because they create the very racism that didn't exist, so they can point to it and say "SEE? SEE??? I TOLD YOU SO!!!!"

It's ugly and very, very evil."

But sadly Timber can't read eight lines of text in a row.

Let me tell you a story. My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. I have never touched a cigarette ever in my life. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this comment gave me cancer anyway.

I'm in the odd situation of agreeing with you. I have a feeling you are probably seeking to apply that in ways I disagree with, but we'll take it at face value. Neither the constitution, our founding fathers, appointed justices, or our elected representatives are infallible or perfect.

Man, you won’t even accept an acknowledgment of common ground with grace.

The common ground and caveat was as negative towards me as you. I acknowledged that I didn’t even trust common ground because we disagree on so much. How did that speak negatively about you? That you apply the ideas in ways I disagree with? That also meant I probably apply it in ways you disagree with.

But if it came off as offensive or a slight, I apologize. No offense was intended.
