Racists and etc part 2 - Rules of engagement.

The rules of engagement when dealing with racist trolls:

(without resorting to punching them in the mouth). 

If they call you out your name:

Ignore them or remind them that it's rude. Never ever hit them (unless the Lord forces yo hand and you have to convenience store Iced Tea a muthaf..)

If they use criticism meant to trigger you:

I.e. "Your people are too busy hurting each other" 

Thank them. Agree and ask what can we do. Use "we" because the problem was important enough for them to mention. 

"Stop playing the victim" - Thank them, agree with them and do exactly that. Play the victor. 

Weaponized Sarcasm:

Racists will weaponize sarcasm, again, to trigger you. Sarcasm has the caveat that once its written down, and placed out of context, it's just a statement. Ignore the sad sneering face spoken behind such statements as:

"Oh yeah that's going to work" 

"Yes, why wouldn't it" 

"And let me guess, you're going to......"

"Of course." 

"I'm sorry, but...." 

"Apology accepted" 

Armed Facts and Stats:

Racists will try to "arm" facts to trigger you into anger or despair, especially facts that concern violence. They want the truth,  or "the truth", to hurt you, (which it should in some cases). If it doesn't hurt you, they often will become flustered, angry, frustrated.

This is a golden opportunity to, again, agree with them that there is a problem. 

"So what we gon do about it?"

Remind them that because they cared enough to mention said facts, they are invested in the overall safety and security of everyone, which is the same thing you want. 

If they aren't invested in the safety and security of everyone, tell them that they're stupid, (politely of course.) 

And now, time for some Trump approved music:
