I won a hobbyjogger road race this morning. Ask me anything.

Jeff, so you went from racial to racist in one post. Best to rethink this in Middle Tennessee. Thanks.

SS, please stop posting on my threads. We have been over this.

Good heavens, the millennials have been so indoctrinated that they call everything racist. This is absurd.

Hey, I didn't bring race into the discussion, that was the OP. Did I accuse anyone of racism? No. Racism is related to belief of racial superiority, that was never discussed here.

My point is that race does not seem relevant to this discussion and highlights the OP's quickness to classify others by their supposed "heritage". Why does it matter what part of the planet that their ancestors came from? Why mention that the women who commented on his quads were black women? See and understand people for who they are, rather than some skin color based classification. It's a matter of how you choose to view and classify others.

I mean, if I was describing how others commented on my legs, I would simply say some older women commented on my legs, rather than use some "I'm afraid of being called racist by the PC police" race-based phrase like "women of African heritage." Nobody says that.

I found the distinction an interesting point. Older black women have commented favorably on his big legs. White woman haven’t.

It doesn’t speak unfavorably about those black woman. If he said something like young, black men hanging around street corners makes him nervous, you would have a point.

What should I eat for lunch?

Was there a pre race national anthem sung by a local church youth group that kept you standing in the starting area for an extra 5 minutes while you were shivering your balls off in 38 degree rainy weather

Caught the leader with about a mile to go. Sat on him for 800, then blew his effing doors off.

Why did you blow his doors off rather than dropping the hammer on him? Was this a conscious decision? Or did it just sort of happen that way?

Highly underrated thread. In my mind, top 3--and I've been coming here damn near 15 years.

Why does any sane individual need to own a semi-automatic rifle with a 15 or 30 round magazine?

Well, older black women know what's up. Of course they would recognize a good pair of legs when they see it.

For whatever reason, older, larger women of African heritage have often - unashamedly - been big fans of my quadzilla legs.

I have never had that issue with white girls. Oh well.

What a thrill for a man like yourself of European heritage. But I don't even know your race, you just sound like a clueless dude of European heritage. Try not to use a racial qualifier when it's not even necessary to get your point across.

I pity you.

Can we focus on what is important here? I BLEW HIS DOORS OFF.

That comment is agist and sexist. Prove me wrong.

If you had come to my house after church, you would have had grilled chicken, quinoa, and green beans.

Thankfully, no.

Side note: we are host to Sectionals this year. I was asked if I wanted to have a recorded National Anthem or find someone to sing it live.

I chose option C.

I don't find the two mutually exclusive. I dropped the hammer - which I thought went without saying - at which point his doors blew off.

Do black men age well? wrote:

So ... absolutely true story .... I recently moved to a townhouse and there are 2 black men who live on my street (not together). Anyhow, they are both in their seventies and they both easily look 15 years younger.

And last night while watching the World Series, they panned to Magic Johnson. While he is a little heavy, his face looks practically unchanged.

So my question is, do black men tend to age well, and is it racist to ask the question?

Dark skin protects the skin against harmful UV rays, which cause premature skin aging and other cellular damage.

While Stormfronters may despise dark skin, from a purely medical point of view, having dark skin can protect us against a lot of nasty medical conditions.

I have no idea why ANYone, sane or otherwise, would limit themselves to only a 30 round magazine.

JV kicking past a jogger while you finish your 4 mile route is hardly winning a road a race.
