Don’t you just hate when people say.....

[JaniceM]

Racist this and racist that...
some people need to stop making color
part of their thought process about
every little thing...and racism will fade away.

They don't realize that they are the ones being racist
because they are the ones bringing up color
and blaming color on everything.
Just stop thinking of everyone as a color and move on.

Oh for "the good old days" when racists and racism didn't really exist because people generally didn't talk about it...

What about, "Back in the day"

Agreed.
And, connected, "Back in your day.." I always wonder which 'day' was that.. and why isn't this 'my day'..

"You think that's bad? Let me tell you ... "
Some people think they're the only one who has had a rough time of it.

"Oh, how cute! You know how to use a cell phone!"

I hate it when someone says "everything's going to be all right" when it clearly isn't.

I hate when people say "I'm like". Ex. "So he walked through the door and I'm like what is going on? Sadly, people of all ages say it.

No offense, but....

" That being said" (I will now contradict what I just said)

"woke" sounds like poor grammar to me.
Why can't we just have a moral obligation to be "awake or awakened to" or "alert" or "taking a stand" or "being active" when challenging injustices and racism, and taking a stand against hatred..instead of being "woke".

It's been said that "Brad Pitt is not only woke, but the wokest man in Hollywood" because he produces movies using actors of color.
I know "woke" has some history to it but that doesn't mean we have to continue using it. Can't we just say Brad Pitt is "being pro active"?
Is it just me or does it bother anyone else?

I always thought it was a stupid use of the word. There seems to be a lot of words lately that are being used in a senseless way.

Died doing what he loved.

For you and I.

’Woke’ is a terrible word in this respect.
Not even sure what it means.
But I woke up this morning!
