I only unfriend people when they seem to get stuck on one issue or ideology and repeat themselves over and over.

Yea I can't tell you how many people I no longer speak to that I had none for years. The number is really unnone if I had to guess. Will I ever speak to them again? That is not none at this time I have to say but it has been nice noneing them all these years.

Ever think that people may be sick of your politically charged rants, whether they agree or disagree with you? Most people get blocked for being pretentious douches. Sounds like you fit the bill.

Whoever came up with the idea of putting an overlay on your profile pic to support whatever issue you feel strongly about was a genius, it makes it so much easier to know who to block posts from.

But I do a purge once a year or so. If I have no interest in the person and l assume the feeling is mutual (which is always), I will unfriend them. I think this clears the riff-raff from my feed.

Yep.

I've had to just "unfollow" some people b/c they seemed to notice when I unfriend them and request back with a message asking why I unfriended them. Others I can't unfriend b/c they're in-laws, friends' spouses, etc...

I don't know or care if this is childish.

Not just about race.

I've been crafting it in my mind for the past 2 - 3 weeks.

i give up on even trying to understand why you do what you do. I'm sure in your mind you're the great race crusader,protector of everything brown.

I also know these race topics peak your interest because they do for me as well but i'm at least a little more centered when it comes to race postings than you. I have never seen you post a topic regarding condemning someone from the african american community not even one damn time. It's sad dude.

You don't put up photoshopped stuff that you believe is real, you don't put up conspiracy theories you believe are true, and you're a good dude irl. Not blocked
