It confuses me how I can get involved in very little drama over the course of the several years I've been on the #Fediverse, and others rack up enemies like pokemon cards.

Is this a personality thing? Some people just don't get along with others? Hard to believe that there are so many people just committing random slights to each other on the daily.

@realcaseyrollins I think most of the attacks are "evil white conservatives" vs the "nobel liberals".. While your personality may play a role I think being black and conservative probably acts like a shield to some degree. The liberals would have a hard time attacking a black man when half of their agenda is racial identity in nature.

@freemo Haha perhaps! I never thought of my skin tone as a shield, but I guess it makes sense for racists to think of things that way.

@realcaseyrollins Yea obviously your skin tone shouldnt change how you are treated... but, sadly, that is how they operate.

If you recall the conversation i had with the other instance a day or two ago where you jumped in. Remember how he attacked me for pointing out that the scholar instance was abusive towards their LGBT members and instead of him going "oh wow thats concerning" he basically responded with "it says alot about you that you would bad mouth the main LGBT instance".... same deal, if your on their protected list (LGBT, black, whatever), saying anything bad about you is taboo.

@freemo Yeah I suppose a downside of killing God is that instead of judging each other by our beliefs and character our society has slowed drifted into a state of judging each other by outward characteristics, social status and social signals

@realcaseyrollins Yea, the real irony (and i guess from a christian perspective it kinda fits the devil as a deceiver) is that that people who claim to be the most against identifying people by the color of their skin are also the ones doing it.
