I pointed out she’s a racist.
Your response was:
That’s clearly a defense. Overt racism is not just a “negative trait.”
Jane Fonda absolutely knew it was racism too.

I’m saying we all have horrible traits, even me and you. I’ve got native blood in my veins, among other races. Doesn’t stop my own family with the same blood from being racist against ourselves.
This still sounds like a defense. Otherwise why bring it up? Who said no one had bad traits?
Do you just stay in hostile mode? Take a breath.
Again, why bring it up if it wasn’t a defense and no one claimed otherwise?
Because I’m allowed to make observations, except by that one mod, so far.
I’m not your enemy. I did notice over the last two days when I felt blech, I was more reactive. And it’s habit-forming and counter -productive. I can notice good people have bad traits and bad people have good ones. It doesn’t mean anything other than humans are humans, unless you’re spoiling for a fight. Have a great day. I’m not bickering with you.
I never said you were my enemy. I’m not a mod here. I also never said you were allowed to make observations. I just asked you why you brought it up.
The fact that you refuse to explain why you brought it up sort of supports my implication that you’ve been defending her.
And no, I’m not saying you are required to give me an explanation either. But if you don’t, I will simply say you’ve been defending her.
Smh. Cool. Magas say worse about me. Glad you’re better.

Please get a therapist, for your own sake.
Sorry, are you now using mental illness as an insult?
