You’ve clearly got issues with people who would assume a natural authority over you tbf. People like Comm and this Navy seal, special forces guys who are trained killers, and the mods on here seem to get to you more than other people, it’s as if you can’t accept natural order, which is obviously a beta flag. Not having a go at you like, you’re still aight, but it’s plain as day.

Are the mods on here trained killers then, or did I read that wrong ? <yikes>

Reminds me of a story my mate told me about his young son. His black mate came to visit him and the young kid pointed towards the black man and said ‘wog’

Much to the relief of daddy, he just wanted his toy frog that was on the shelf behind where the adults were sitting.

I’ve apparently done similar before as a kid. My Mum was taking me and my cousin somewhere on the bus and on the bus there was a poster of a group of monkeys so me and my cousin started laughing saying “look Mum, monkeys” and then started doing monkey noises, problem was there was a black guy right by the poster... naturally me and my cousin were oblivious but my Mum said she wanted the ground to swallow her up that day <laugh>.

My daughter, now 25, was at some fancy prep school when she was a toddler. Not many black people in York, truth be told, but my daughter's best friend was a black kid, the daughter of a barrister. I bought my daughter a comic on the way home from school after picking her up. As usual, as soon as we got in she sat on my lap with her comic and demanded a read.

In the story, the main character was a black girl. My daughter immediately pointed to her and said 'She's like Betty'. I have no idea why I did what came next: I stuttered and said 'Er, er, yes, she has shoes like Betty'. 'No, she has the same colour face as Betty?'. 'I, er, don't think we should say that, Lucy'. 'Dad, is there something wrong with brown skin?'. 'No, no, no, that's not what I mean. You, just, er,,,, let's not talk about it".

Complete parental **** up. To my daughter, black/brown skin was just a distinguishing feature like red hair or being tall. The way it should be. She has plenty of black and Asian friends now, especially since uni. The only prejudice she seems to have is with Man U fans, which is awkward as her feller and her half-sister are ones.

I envy you. Exercise and some sort of regime is better than medication, imo. I got a dog and started running/jogging again @10 years ago, three years after getting a bike. Haven't touch citalopram since, even though my doctors said I should stay on them. Ups and downs since then, especially with exercise and drinking, but I can't explain the difference between being a flawed twat with manageable habits, and being a paranoid zombie. Good luck to you, feller, and all those who try.

Maybe it’s just me but there’s a certain level of ‘racist humour’ I find funny no matter what colour you are, including my own. I enjoy laughing at myself, at my cultural habits etc and I also do the same with every other culture. There’s no hate...in my experience when I’ve done it with my mates of various backgrounds...we laugh over it and it’s a great bonding experience because deep down we know, it’s just all love.

I guess you have to factor in wether you know the person or not...can easily be taken as straight up hatred if you don’t know the person.

I agree with you ... some humour is merely stereotypical, not malicious ... but some individuals will always be sensitive either down to character traits or past experience ... can be a difficult balance.

That's it mate the doc put me on fluoxitene, but I decided to not bother.

The nursery rhyme I swallowed a spider to catch the fly came to mind.

I didn't like knowing I was on meds, it made it worse, so I through them away and got on with it.

You're right excersize is the answer
