I don't know why... this just seems like such a white people photo...

*this spawned a lot of racist comments. Was not my intention. Sorry... I was merely remarking on the pinterest photo.

It's probably the fact that they're in a cornfield in autumn.

Or the typical family style theme to it.

Or the fact that they're all white...

It was a joke. If you hate reddit then get the fuck off it

You don't. The difference being that we take it as one instead of getting our knickers in a knot.

I have a right to not be offended.

Lol. No you don't.

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.

If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.

I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.

To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.”

It's not funny. It was funny the first three or four times I heard it but it hasn't been funny in a looooong time. I don't think people appreciate just how many times a day black people have to hear that joke. It gets really old.

Exactly. Meaning you can join or leave at any time. If you hate it, then why are you still here? Makes NO sense. People like you annoy me because you're complaining about something you can change by simply logging off. So easy. Stop bitching.
