This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You know, while there are places you don't want to get lost in if you're white, they aren't as common as the racists make it out to be. Now, I've worked in a couple of those neighborhoods, but even then once the folks literally coming out of bushes knew I was there to provide care to someone, that was the end of it.

Being real, my cracker ass grew up in a black neighborhood. You know how many times I got jumped by black folks? Zero. Wanna guess how many times I did by white folks? Well, only three, twice by the same assholes, but that's still telling, aint it?

My personal experience? Only time you'll run into trouble for being a cracker is if its a heavy drug area and you ain't buying. But those folks will be just as harsh to anyone, so I dunno if that counts or not.

Most violence is intraracial.

All human on human violence is intraracial. That is because human genetic variation does not support the division into different races.

Are you confusing "race" and "species"?

Wikipedia:

Race is a categorization of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into groups generally viewed as distinct within a given society.

They're making a point about how race is a human construct created to separate humans for the purpose of power. The idea of race didn't exist until the 1750's or so when Linneaus categorized people based on geographic location and racist stereotypes.

Right, go tell that to Herodotus when he was talking about various other races of peoples and how barbaric they were compared to the Greeks, in 425BCE.

Or just keep making up shit that race is a modern European white man only thing. Don't let the the rest of history and the other cultures of the world inconveniently disprove your stupidly modern euro centric view of the world.

No, I need idiots to stop spouting bullshit that isn't true because they love making up simplistic narratives that are false to suite their political agenda and stroke their own egos.

Very much so, statistically
