You know, I’ve ignored your absolutely crazy comments a couple times but now I’m feeling like I need to respond! STOP being one of those people who make everything about color. I criticized those athletes as ATHLETES. Nothing to do with color. You mentioning their being women of color is the first mention of race. Stop trying to paint me in a negative “trumpy” light lady. You’ll fail because it’s not true. If you’d simply slid into the DMs here I could have had a nice and friendly chat about both of our views and opinions. Instead you choose to be vile, again. If you’re not happy with my posts or page or views I apologize, all you have to do is talk to me and you’ll realize quite quickly I’m not racist or negative or aggressive. Get off the Internet and take a breath for gods sake. Stop being rude.

A lot to unpack here.
First of all sir, I may well take you up on your offer to discuss some of this further through DMs. Because frankly, I do not wish to embarrass you or anyone further by revealing a bunch of things here that you have posted on your social media in the past that you have either genuinely or conveniently forgotten .
Secondly, I am not going to stop making many things about color because quite frankly, when you are a person of color in this country, everything is about exactly that. I don't expect you to know that because you have the luxury of a different lived experience. But take it from me when I say that for people of color, seeing things through the prism of color is just a fact of every day American life.
Thirdly , the "joke" you made about those two fine young ladies, who are suffering from MENTAL HEALTH issues- was completely tone deaf, especially coming from YOU due to the history you have on your social media.You may have meant no harm but it did not go down well. It's like people of other races thinking it's okay to call black men N---GA, even if they mean it affectionately. For some it just doesn't go down well coming from someone who is not black.
Finally, while I am not in a position to say whether or not you are racist, you have been VERY guilty of saying some truly racially insensitive things, especially last year during the height of the BLM movement. And then as now, when called out for it your instinct is to get defensive and insulting rather than biting your tongue and trying to ascertain how and in what way what you said was offensive.
America and the world are changing. You can mock WOKENESS as much as you wish, but things you and others said casually ten or fifteen years ago are just no longer taken in the same way now. There is no shame in acknowledging that and being open to change.
That includes the manner in which you way you frequently use the C--T word, a quite lovely part of the female anatomy- to describe anyone you find unpleasant.
That, sir is rude and the very essence of VILE.
