Poor Denilson. Nobody takes him seriously. I pretended to for awhile, but even that pretense is gone.

When one gets to the point of just trolling in memes to make even less sense we all know you gave up long ago.
You notice no-one ever calls me a liar.

I'm gonna have to disagree there, @Freedom .
If Denilson truly believes everything he posts, he's delusional beyond anyone's wildest imagination.
If he doesn't, he raises trolling to stratospheric levels.
Denilson is seriously delusional but it makes for a very interesting reading on Long bus rides and in the subway in New York

Being white in America has long been treated, at least by white people, as too familiar to be of much interest. {snip}
How often do white people talk about being white? Not often! So long as we aren’t hanging out with white nationalists, marrying into a family of color or chuckling over jokes about our dancing, we have endless opportunities to avoid thinking much about our own race. We generally prefer to frame identity in ethnic terms instead: Identifying as Italian or Irish or Jewish seems to come with zest, pathos and a chance to take pride in some shared history. {snip}
The Trump era, however, has compelled an unprecedented acknowledgment of whiteness as a real and alarming force. In the months leading up to the 2016 election, as Donald Trump rallied his almost entirely white base with calls for banning Muslims and deporting “bad hombres,” Politico asked: “What’s Going On With America’s White People?” The NPR podcast “Code Switch” debuted with an episode called “Can We Talk About Whiteness?” Since handing Trump 58 percent of the white vote, we have been the subject of newspaper and magazine analyses about our race-based resentment, fear of declining status and supposed economic anxiety. The satire “Dear White People” was picked up by Netflix, and the film “Get Out,” which turned self-proclaimed Obama-supporting white people into figures of horror, became the think-piece blockbuster of 2017. Suddenly it is less tenable than ever for white people to write our whiteness out of the story of race in America or define ourselves only in terms of what we are not.
{snip} But these days, white people are also observing one another’s whiteness with unfamiliar intensity. {snip}
Please read the entire article at American Renaissance.
I will indeed read that interesting article in a moment but I must weigh in first and God knows I weigh a lot.
I grew up as a second generation Armenian immigrant in an all-white town in northern New Jersey in the Posh suburbs Far From Any trains or buses or sidewalks.
Nobody ever talked about white because they were all white except for me. Although they never talked about white or being white for whiteness they sure made it clear that something was different or wrong with me. I was constantly needled and insulted starting at around 5th grade or about the age of 10 or 11 for various things which clearly were in stark contrast with being white or with whiteness.
Many kids started on almost a daily basis from the age of 11 all the way through till about graduating high school at the age of 18, many kids and I still remember their names Michael Morrison and Matt Houston and Todd Schaper and Doug George and Billy Dahlen and Francine Keller and Tracy Connolly and Mike Brady and Tim Elwood and Scott McDonald (((ALL ANGLO SAXONS AND WHITE LIKE COTTON))) all started calling me greaseball and camel jockey and Iranian terrorist and big nose Tarzan and Guru and hairy monkey at least two or three times a week starting in Home Room at 8:15 a.m. all the way through till lunch time in the cafeteria and gym class and even after school on the way home.
Yeah so they never said the word white or mention the word whiteness but it was clear as day that they were telling me that there was something very very different about me that was worthy of being mocked and ridiculed on an almost daily basis for 7 years
