There's no ____ way this guy's a doctor. I doubt he could land a job as a garbage collector. The real reason he's against immigrants is because he actually is in competition with them for jobs... picking lettuce or something. Makes more sense, anyway.
Again... where did I say most immigrants pick lettuce?
If you look at the comment, I said, "Picking lettuce or something..." which actually implies there are other low wage jobs immigrants do.
And to be clear, it's the low wage jobs which would be competed for by undocumented immigrants in this country (and since I was speaking to ajax, those were the folks I knew he would think about). There are many medium to high wage jobs that can't be filled by domestic talent, so businesses have to seek talented immigrants to fill those jobs. It isn't the same kind of competition; that one is among the businesses.
Are you aware that I'm an immigrant, DT? I can assure you... I don't pick lettuce (well, except when I'm making myself a sandwich). My thumbs are anything but green. I wish I could grow something other than weeds.
You accused me of saying (quote) "____ up things" to cover your bullying.
You're still feeling bullied, DT? It's not like you're backing down.
Maybe I should say you're bullying me, what with your talking back, answering my posts and stuff. I'm feeling very picked on right now. Respect my space, you big meany.
** posts confused word salad accusing everyone of everything **
OK, faqs. We can always discuss your prideful boasts of ‘snake striking’ your ex later.
Please, proceed with claiming how only blacks have ‘privilege’ in the midst of a conversation about a black man who was slowly killed for some unknown reason by being pinned with a knee to the neck for nearly 10 minutes. ; )

given tha race if the officers charged it seems unlikely that race was the motivation.
as for any notion of black privilege, it seems reasonable to argue (to you) that Floyd is an exception and not the rule. This argument is even supported by statistics. Further support for the argument could be found by anytime a black person and white person are involved in any circumstance the black person is to be considered a victim and is entitled to all "benefits" of doubt.
This is best exemplified by every white person post on this thread.
That's what makes DT's whole argument foolish. But to be fair had any white man said, "Mexicans picking lettuce," it would immediately be interpreted as white supremacy by those suffering from liberal mental illness.

You seem to know every idiom so well you can make plays on words. And I know you put very little effort into your posts. It's your vent forum much the way it is mine. How old were you when they started teaching you English?

Definitely an exception to the idea that the officer should have used some common sense, amongst other default assumptions.
On that note, take care if you decide to do a little jogging around the neighborhood while pondering what sort of confused post you’ll next leave behind here. Exceptions being exceptions, of course.

I don't remember not being able to speak English. I could read and do math before I went to elementary school. I learned a lot from older siblings when I was young (still do, really). If my family agrees on nothing else, we value education. We all have degrees.
