    Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

    He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

    He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

    Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

    Nah, it will still be the same, it will just be “white” and “actual white” or you know, all the other minorities that are white, like certain religions, countries, bloodlines, immigrants, etc.

    Don’t worry, we have so much bigotry that we don’t even know what to do with it!

      Lol I grew up in a 100% white town in northern mn. At the top of the pecking order was your Anglican protestant types, then the Catholics, then the pollaks(yours truly), and then at the bottom was the finnlanders. No one trusted them. They were always starting co-op’s, saunaing naked, etc.

    We could all look exactly the same and all be Christian, and the Protestants and Catholics would gang up on the Baptist’s and Assembly of God and kill every one they can find.

    … and they’d by delighted in their handiwork and brag to their grandchildren with pride.

    Eight million dead in the 1600s, they didn’t even have AK-47s. Protestant vs. Catholic. Same race.

      They had all the other colors (and even fire red with cool patterns !) and the white people STILL organized themselves by eye color 🤦

    Check to see if the Asian people are still okay.

    A more cynical answer is to buy as much property on the south side of Chicago as possible before the prices skyrocket.

      Asian people will divide themselves by skin color, features or nationality, too. Not immune to racism. Its partly a survival instinct from the past that is rearing its ugly side.

        Absolutely. I was just laughing at the original post forgetting that half the planet doesn’t exactly fit into the black/white classification.

      Dude, the grieving process just gets prolonged because of how hard it is to make new friends as an adult. Like, great, now I’m sad AND lonely.

      Had my wife look for this exact comment. Was going to have her post this if no one else had.


      He thinks he’s so clever. A Stormlight Archive reference, how original.

        Yeah, but at least I made it subtle and confusing for non-fans, unlike the other dude who has since just posted a picture of the WoK cover…

    In America, they would not have very long before they started having to forage for food.

    A majorly significant portion of the workforce for agriculture are non-white.

    There may be a few locations that can maintain business as usual, but the world is going to collapse, and it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when, and I’m guessing for most people that will be less than 30 days.

    Of course I won’t be there to see it, I will have been raptured along with the rest of everyone, so best of luck.
