    Actually my friends and loved ones display basic human empathy. They don’t berate strangers over the authenticity of their trauma. So I do afford them quite a bit more couth than I feel you’ve earned in this interaction.

    I hope that isn’t projection on your part, by the way. At this point I mostly just feel bad for you.

      If someone correctly stating that mixed race children have worse outcomes in the United States than white children causes “trauma” in anyone, then that person is too mentally weak to be left unsupervised. Let alone vote.

      You can’t just throw the word trauma around, especially when it’s describing an event that didn’t actually happen. Pop psychology is the domain of midwits and advertisers, not thinking people

        You are all over the fucken place, now the person who told that story shouldn’t be allowed to vote?

        Pseudo-intellectualism probably plays better in the crowds you roll with than it does here.

        It’s a good goddamn thing you just think you’re a psychologist.
