My tongue is swollen at the end of each day from biting it in an effort not get caught in these, "conversations".

Keep your head on a swivel bud.

If they don't want different viewpoints then tell them to take you off the invite or cancel the damn meetings. The problem with society (well one side of society) is that they cannot take constructive alternative thought without casting it off as racist or evil.

You'll prbably have to go to the education camp, E.g. Diversity training.

You mentioned in a previous post awhile back that you work for a large retailer based in Atlanta. Does it happen to be the big orange box? My mom works at corporate there and she describes shite like this all the time.

My Dad (a very smart man I still admire, 7 years after his death) once told me many times when others were pushing their agenda, he would bite his tongue rather than inserting his opinion, since they had no desire to hear it anyway.

How was breonna taylor a criminal??


That's arguable, but I think it's ridiculous to call Philando Castile a criminal and some pussy cop shot him dead anyway. He doesn't get the same sympathy as the others because he was legally armed with a weapon he didn't use or ever intend to use.

Whole incident completely soured me on the NRA and on law-and-order conservatism (which is kind of an oxymoron) anyway.

There’s no way in hell I would work for a company that would make its employees do that shite. I’d rather take a pay cut.


Hopefully you are self-employed. All big companies seem to be drinking the wokeaid and aggressively working to disenfranchise and unemploy white males.

I use your dad’s strategy. I’m not getting to an emotional argument when it involves my money and my family’s well-being.

The information you gather in these situations is very valuable.

Take from me, management doesn’t like having to do that any more than you do. Depending on what you said, I wouldn’t say you will be canned immediately....however if you make life difficult for them or are in any way construed as creating a hostile workplace, you will find yourself out of a job with quickness.

and I finally spoke up and said that we shouldn't forget that Taylor and Floyd were criminals,


So Taylor deserved a death sentence from a no knock warrant in the middle of the night? You bust into my house at the dead of night damn right I’m shooting back. If you are truly a conservative you care about the fourth amendment as much as the second amendment. These no knock warrants need to stop

Keep your politics out of the business place and don't allow others to draw you in. It's stupid plain and simple. You did a really dumb thing.
