    Surreal, but these are surreal times.
    1. Racist people will often use ANY excuse to be racist.
    2. Others are reactive...even overly reactive.

    Use common sense, keep calm, play it straight.

    BTW, with stress & emotions running high, weird or exaggerated things will be said more often.
    Just cool the masses, don't let it go into a bonfire.
    Be moderate yourself.

    Questions like that always make wonder about context.
    It seems so obvious that posting pictures of feet isn't racist that it seems there must be more information that I'm missing.
    Sometimes these things are way more complicated then the question you are asking and I just don't understand the context.

    About five weeks ago ultra-orthodox Jews went to their Rabbi and asked if the government would be closing down the school and synagogue.
    Keep in mind that orthodox Rabbis don't pay attention to popular culture, they pretty much only study the Torah, so he had no idea about the COVID-19 pandemic.
    He was shocked and refused to close the school or the synagogue.
    It wasn't until recently that he closed them, after people sat down and explained to him the reasons he needed to.
    Before that all he heard was the government was going to stop him from teaching children and worshiping his god.

    Its important that we try to listen to all aspects of a situation so that we get context instead of just reacting.
    If someone tells me that something is racist, I am going to make an effort to understand why rather than just dismissing it.
    Yes, sometimes they are full of shit but often it is because I just don't have the context.

    Some folks just are always looking for (and therefore always find) racism. Like someone with a hammer can always find a nail.

    This is more SJW than just liberal. One can be liberal and want nothing to do with feminism or race-baiting. SJWs disgust me politically; some parts of the far right scare me politically & potentially personally.

    I am not leaving that forum I fine it funny no matter what I post he and some others members call it racist. But what I don't like is the lies they are saying about another member who is my very dear friend and who is a member here but she does not post here in a while !
