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:

Ain't too many messing with Bizzy Bone on the mic:

Racists and etc

 All racists eventually reduce themselves to a catty, whiny, sissy, b**ch ass representation of themselves, (if they aren't like that from the jump). One of the toughest things to NOT do as a Black Man, is get triggered enough to provoke yourself into an outburst of anger. Holding back is tough, and it will make you cry for real. 

Still, this cat-like phenomena of #rrracism is like someone took the energy of the triflin gossiping b**ch from prototypical mean girl squad, and brought it over to the male side. It's tough not to react, and its tough to defend when you react. Racists always seem to possess that "brainy villain captures hero", legs crossed whilst giving a speech, sassy type of demeanor. Sometimes it's less obvious. Statements like "We just want to live with who we want to live with!" as spoken by white supremacists, automatically come with that b**ch ass energy. I bet you, as the reader can't even repeat their rhetoric without twisting your neck. Thanks to fo-5/fo-7, it's probably gon be a barrage of these muthaf**kas in the media for a significant time. #Arthur fist

Ugh:

Twiddly Finger Conqueror and other randomness

In case of emergency, always remind yourself that alligators and crocodiles are mini-dinosaurs. 

Anxiety is like the villain from IT, whatever one fears the most will get amplified if one doesn't clear the mind and focus on the tangible, the physical sensation of the body, objectively, like a scientist. 

Mystikal, e-40, Bizzy Bone, Pharoahe Monch - "F**k yo beat!" - Good song idea. 

Conquerors, those of the negative ilk, all possess twiddly little fingers. If not in actual demeanor (like stubborn Presidential candidates helming the fries), but also in mentality. Imagine if all educational media depicted conquerors with twiddly little fingers? How would the human mind react?

From this video I get the sense that the pace of development is the extreme edge of rapid and the extreme edge of slow. 

Development patterns in many African cities look surprisingly similar to American cities. The land usage is mixed between areas of high density housing, low density housing, single family homes, multi family homes, high rises, auto-oriented boulevards, pedestrian oriented commercial streets, auto-oriented businesses, all in various states of cohesion or non-cohesion. This is mad different from much of what you will find around the World, where cities have endless neighborhoods consisting of typical high to super high population density. High density is typical for big cities in most of the World, except America. Interesting to see similarities from a place so different.
