Colin had his own set of struggles, but he doesn't get to blame his parents for them, not for what he mentioned at least. He's been way more privileged than either me or you.

But with hanks wallet. That one?

How did you set yours to my bank pin?

Wasn't there a king of the hill episode which was basically that same plot?

sure, if either of your cars have any personality whatsoever

I fully realize that 170 year old building is nothing in much of the world, but here it is the beginning of our history. Sad. At least they are preserving the building, but it just isn't the same when the context has changed. And for what? Hamburgers. Hamburgers and beer.

I might agree, if only I were a Braverman.

Maybe you should take your own words to heart. This whole time your downplaying Colin’s struggles.

Every single person on the planet has their own struggles, their own battles, their own disadvantages to overcome. While I do not have black skin, I had to deal with my own struggles getting to where I am. I don't downplay other people's struggles, perhaps you should do the same.

But muh gentrified apartment buildings!

God, I wish that would happen here in the U.S. once in a while.

Oh damn I had no idea

>I want you to slowly think about the difference between what a black woman tells her children and the connotation of a white person telling a black child

So only a person of a certain race can comment on their adopted child's appearance?

Who is the racist here, u/sprint6864???

All while not having to do it with black hair. And all the baggage that come with it.

What I believe is backed by a Master's Degree, 2 successful businesses, recognition as a local leader and advisor in the community, as well as my upbringing in a lower middle class family, going to school in an inner city magnet school, and my personal findings on how to create personal success.

Even Colton Harris Moore was smart enough to know that you should just steal another car instead of stopping to refuel your current stolen car.

Hi, transracial adoptee here. Most non adopted people really do not understand adoption or our issues. We can love our parents, appreciate that they were trying their best, and yet have complicated feelings about our adoption and upbringing. I wish that non adopted people could let go of the idea that adoption is a “good thing” and that adoptive parents are saviors. Perhaps then there wouldn’t be all this outrage over over Colin Kaepernick said.

I’m kind of surprised that this is brand new information to anyone, since this was a plot point in his Netflix show. I have to assume that he’s already had this conversation with his family and he’s not pointlessly attacking anyone. My mom admitted to me as an adult that she wished she’d done more than “not see color” when raising me, and I think that any adoptive parent who is honest with themselves can admit that adoption isn’t always peaches and cream.

Tesla's have a key card as well (like a credit card). Odds are the owner of the car left the key card in it, car will never lock then. New guy walks up, does 'unlock' in his app and opens the door. Presto he thinks he unlocked the car. He did not.

Here in the Netherlands the are countless companies doing exactly this, we don't have a car but if we need to drive somewhere there is a car parked about 5 mins from us, we use an app to unlock it so no fucking around having to get it from somebody else, just jump in, do what we need and drop it back off. For a short trip this might cost us 10 to 15eu

So the problem with what you keep banging your head against is the definition of what is acceptable as a black man was not determined by black hair. It was a deliberate strategy to force you into a more white mold. And even the more strict requirements back in the day were often more strict for black people. Any job where hair length was an issue when your hair grows out rather then down often meant your were subjected to random definitions of to long was. Your manger changes and they declare your hair which was fine on Friday is now unkempt on Monday. HR wouldn’t back you. It’s why even today as you seem to think standards are less there os legislation being passed to protect said hairstyles.

What you want to believe isn’t backed by reality.
