As typical, you are being a little bitch in this thread. Not using common sense. Spunky, though a little harsh, is actually correct. And you know it

He is correct that we all use more racist terms in our house? No way, my parents wanted to set a better example for me and I want to set a better example for my children. Having that shite fly around your household is what gets a Donald Trump elected.

If he would have said “you have thought worse things in your head” I would buy it. But not around the house.

I’m not the one defending a guy called black players monkeys.

I have not defended anyone. You should probably read my statement again if you can.

Not one person on the site would want their personal conversations recorded and put on the internet. Get real

True, but not because I espouse racism in private.

Every person in the world is racist to a certain extent. Dont act like it doesnt happen and like it wont continue to happen for ever

That, in and of itself, is not racism; that's more tribalism. We are hardwired to prefer things and people who are similar to us in most cases. This whole "melting pot" phenomenon is a new concept in human history. But for the past 200 years or so, we've always been extremely tribal based largely on culture, ancestry, geography, etc.

Racism isn't preferring your tribe to another. Racism is thinking one tribe is beneath yours based on skin color.

I’m not going to get judgy of other people’s upbringings.
By and large, most folks do the best they can with what they know.
But in my house. had I ever made a comment like the one that kid made, my parents would’ve made darn sure it didn’t happen again.
I then would’ve been “encouraged” to spend time getting to know people like those whom I’d degraded.

Agreed. I wouldn't have been able to sit for a week from the spanking I know I would've gotten. Of course I got weekly spankings for doing stupid shite (I was hard headed) but for that, my parents would have made me learn fast.

The number of people downplaying this is as something that just happens during private conversation is a little eye opening for me honestly.

Whether you do it publicly or privately doesn't make it right, IMO. I'm uncomfortable with it.

I'm also uncomfortable with one poster's allegation that all white people engage in racism in private conversations (or have at one time in their past).

CGSC I was using hyperbole on purpose kinda like the old “Thanks Obama” meme.

I am not being political, more like making fun of a stereotypical point of view that may not actually exist but we can all use as a cultural waypoint.

This board already sucks enough without politics.

Me too. Don’t know anyone personally that would allow that in their home.

My thought too, santino is learning the lesson that people living in glass houses shouldn't throw the first stone. Him and his family are not used to people fighting back. This is obvious. I hope the guy and his family get burned for this
