I guess it depends on the people surrounding you as you were growing up, because I have never heard it used as derogatory to anyone.

I disagree. Not everyone was raised to think that. I have never hear Kool-aid being used as a stereotype for anything.

I think you assume too much. That is a very real problem. I don’t think for one second that this man meant that statement i a racially derogative way. It is only in the ears of the receiver who judge this harshly. This is a big problem. People have to stop being so sensitive to words when they are not spoken to…

I honestly have never heard of this Kool-aid in reference to the black community. Never. I t has always had the meaning of being gullible and believing without question. Who makes this stuff up?

That is what I thought it meant too. Like more of a political term as in someone who believes everything the politician’s tells us. I honestly have never seen the term used in a racially derogatory way. I don’t know who even makes this stuff up. Who decides whether a word or term is racially derogative and how are…

I guess I was just replying in general after reading through all the replies. Sorry.

But that way of thinking just ASSUMES that all people think that a black life is not as valuable as a white life. I have never felt that way and I know a lot of people who don’t think that way. In fact I don’t know anyone who does think one life is more valuable than another. But that is an untruth that is just…

No one deserves the way she was treated.

We are ALL at the mercy of the same media. All they want are the gruesome details. It is the media who decides the agenda and skew their reporting to create the biggest hype. The average person, Black or White have no control over that. And all people should put the blame where it belongs and stop blaming each other…

That depends on which side of the fence you are on. Plus the average white person has no control of what is on the news. Do you really think that the government or media listen to us?? Hahaha. AAnyone who thinks that is sadly mistaken. Sometimes I think that blacks have this over zealous idea of what life is for the…

When the media does not release a photo it has been my experience that the reason is because the perp is black. For some reason they don’t want to print photos of black suspects.

I am always in the gray. If you don’t respond according to agenda you are censored.

Just totally disrespectful.

More obvious disrespect. Not flattering or funny. Just disrespectful.

Why bash white people? Because of one?

Why criticize all white people?

What’s wrong with being white?

Oh boy. I hate to burst your bubble but at age 30, I felt the best of my whole life. Wait till you try on 58! Haha. If I could, I would like to give you some advice. Be careful with your body. Treat it nice. Don’t overdue on the joints, Watch out how you are walking or exercising. Be gentle. It all comes back to bite…

I am here to agree with you wholeheartedly. Finally at age 58 I have finally said, screw it , I am going to the pool/beach and put on my swimsuit and actually go into the water and I love it. The whole experience. Swimming, sun worshiping,the casual atmosphere and the relaxation of not caring. But now I am so angry…

II have been writing on this website for years now and all of my replies are always under review. Never published. Is this a joke or something? My opinions don’t count?
