That's all I'm sayin.
And like you said, education is the key. Calling out the lies that come from he racist right. Starting with every stat they spew about Blacks is a lie.
and I do that daily here
and have done since they Day I began posting at internets sights back in 2002 in the lead up to the Iraq war shock and awe
I have all my life done it in person too
I have pissed many a white person off in my life pointing out their racism too them
I have even pissed off brown people in person too for due to an act racism on their part
I find in places like this I can have a bigger impact
because of all the people who never post and often read sites like this I can reach a much larger audience and can avoid scareing the fuck out of people in person
I can be pretty intense in real life
when someone tries to intimidate me all fear drains from my body and I get pissed
thankfully I am never spurned to violence
I am spurned to verbal actions
and have stood down face to face people twice my size
they never seem to get violent with me either
I think its the way I do it
the fact that their attempt to make me fear them falls completely on deaf ears
Instinctually they realize that tact is not paying off
the shock that this old lady ( and when I was young even too) just took a blank on the fact that they were trying to scare me off
Bullys are much less successful when their go to tool fails them
it blanks their brains out long enough for them to ponder "what do I do now"
which gives them enough time to realize if they hurt me they will be caught and go to prison for years
Surprize is a good tactic huh
funny thing is for me its a natural reaction
