No, No, Don't Worry. Racism is Pretty Much Over.

For crying out loud, why would you take a conversation with a complete stranger in that direction?

Bigots tend to have a weird compulsion to not hide their views, especially with strangers, because they also believing in "telling it like it is." Nuance and discretion is for losers.

To me, "telling it like it is" equals saying things in public that you should have been taught better or known better not to do so by your fifth birthday.

Yeah, but liberals are trying to cancel people!

Whatever happened to good manners and being considerate of other peoples feelings?

That went out the window when real Americans had to watch commercials with interracial and gay and lesbian couples.

At one point he started telling me about a 50lb carp he had caught many years ago. He mentioned the huge lips on the fish, and then wondered aloud if it was a black carp, ya know, cuz of the lips.

No, it's a black carp because he wanted to kill it for no other reason than it exists.

He did mention going home to get a sled from his mom’s house to drag it away. Carp is the last thing I would keep around here, though they’re fun to catch. Seemed like a decent dude until this little ugly streak just bubbled up out of nowhere. Like Doc said, it’s a weird compulsion to share his shitty views with a stranger in an otherwise decent conversation. So disappointing.

I think he was looking to reassure/validate his racism.

You’re probably right. Maybe it’s a misery loves company kind of deal. In hindsight, it almost seems like his subsequent story about being chased on his bike was an attempt to justify his first comment.

Yeah a simple mind trying to justify the hate he really knows is wrong.

Lest you think that racism is limited to the boonies, my friend Chris was on a zoom with some committee at his kid's school. Chris lives in NYC. His partner is Black, and they wanted their kids to be biracial, so they got a white egg donor and used his partners sperm. Their boys are biracial. One of them goes to one of those classically liberal public schools. So at this meeting, half of the people (and some of them were people of color themselves, just not Black) were saying that they wanted to try and limit the admission of Black kids. Because the prestige would go down.

This shit is everywhere.

Ah, 2009, when America was a post-racial society …

Hello,

If the Zoom was recorded, post it on facebook or some other such site. These people need to face the consequences of their thinking and actions.

Since he wasn't the host, he probably doesn't have access to the recording - IF it was recorded.

Bit late now, but I use https://scre.io/ for recording training sessions at work

[Dr. Medulla]

Doesn't Zoom give non-hosts the option of recording locally? Could have sworn that was available.
