I don't know who needs to be reminded of this but:
Me expressing my own opinion of things on my own feed is not me trying to convince you of anything. It is MY opinion on MY own feed about stuff that is of interest to ME. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. I don't even know you.
If you find it interesting, awesome. If you think it's epic, even more awesome. If you don't care, then just move along. If you hate it, move along faster.
You don't have to respond to everything you see.

@corlin The reality of this still seems to be this is something that white men do almost exclusively. I don't have any real research or way of saying this is 100% true ... but on social media white men seem to just really feel like they need to to insert themselves into absolutely everything for some reason that is beyond my understanding.
@corlin I have no answers or explanations for it (shrug).
It is a difference in tone.
In black conversations, there is a back and forth, but it is grounded in either humor, and or oneupmanship. Like a horn and a sax taking rival solos.
In white conversations, there is always an implied superiority. Somebody has to win, or at least feel like they have won.
