  If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?

  seriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!

  if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.

  if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

  So no, it's not "fair game". Constant bleating about racism is just tiring and boring at this point. It's been debunked.

  So ALL I did was swap out one name for another, changed Obama to Trump and you say "that's not" fair game, just swapping out one name for another. But other folks, regardless of whom they like or don't like can state their reasons and it's fine they go on for paragraphs for their reasons why they do and don't like certain candidates or political figures, but ALL I did is swap out one name for another and that's not fair game.

  Didn't even change not one word of the sentence, just swapped out one name for another and you Minimus have a problem with me exchanging one name for another . . .

  So basically you're saying Minimus can say whatever about Obama, but if you don't like Trump keep your thoughts to your self on this site, because I just changed names in someones post.

  It’s a shame that many who charge others with racism are in fact the racists intolerant of any other view. That old Obama trick is getting pretty old.

  Hey Min, how about this, that just may reflect some folks also who post here:

  That is "fair game", isn't it.

  LV101 - She's not even sitting at a cart! She sits there in her wheelchair just holding up a magazine!!

  Whoever is dropping her off and picking her up should be ashamed of themselves. If she's still being pressured to get her time in, then she should be the one sitting in an airport with some a/c sitting next to big display which is a total waste of money anyway

  So they must now have JW.org vans to drive those displays to the airport.

  I see them doing the set up and breakdown of a full table with the rags on them in some of the subway stations, the table folds up of course, but that has to go in someone's trunk. That set-up needs a van.

  Also I see a foot on the left side of that pic, I'm guessing that's the brother who gets to sit in a fold up chair all day and get his time in. Maybe the sister I see in my nabe in the wheelchair with the swollen legs, who looks absolutely homeless by the way, she's elderly and her clothes look just about like rags, why can't they drive her to the airport and let her sit in some a/c all day instead of in front of the Dollar Store, in 90 degree weather, shouldn't the Elders be glad she's at least trying to get her time in, they should make her comfortable since she obviously can't walk. Who's the "loving servant of Jah" who dumps her out on the street and picks her up everyday in this worst July NYC has seen in long time?

  Looks like he needs to be counseled on his hair, he's beginning to grow that George Washington dippity-do curl. Any other brother would be counseled to get a haircut

  i remember back in the 80's this crazy cult came out with sisters shouldn't wear red shoes, Remember that line in David Bowie's Let's Dance, "put on your red shoes and let's dance the blues", around that time when the song came out I guess it gave one of the 7 Fairy Godmothers a hard-on just to here that or something. I remember a brother gave a talk and definitely mentioned the ol' not for Christian servants of Jehovah regarding red shoes - SMH

  Many black immigrants from Africa, the Carribean etc... refused to be lumped in with native black Americans because they feel they are better and more motivated.

  AGREED!! Totally! I've heard that myself out of their mouths myself and have been absolutely gobsmacked!

  I was just expressing what "I myself" got from the wording of your post, I can't speak for anyone but me.
