But of course, the correct spelling would be “Fuck YOUR feelings”, wouldn’t it? But Marley K. used the slang “ya” instead of “your”, as in “Ya’ll come back now, do you hear me?”. a common expression, especially in the south, as in “Ya’ll come back now, ya hear?” which, if written and spelled correctly would be “You all come back again, did you hear me say that?”. That sentence isn’t grammatically correct, is it? So, only Black people use slang? Of course not. So it isn’t written that way. Except, perhaps, by the barely literate. And you just used “Yall” but didn’t even use that bit of slang correctly; you left out the punctuation mark. Yall love claiming credit lmao.

And “lmao”… That’s initials used on the internet for “laugh my ass off” but of course you know that. I never heard that before so you’re claiming it was in everyday usage offline among POC long before the public internet became available. Although you know that isn’t true, you’re making that claim anyway. Kind of like the Republican way of using “alternate facts”, otherwise known as “lies”.

Early computers had very little memory available to use so a lot of phrases were shortened to just initials in order to save memory. In the mid 80s, a computer that had a full megabyte of Ram was considered a top of the line computer and personal computers, up until the mid-90s had a bit more memory- if they were high end, extremely expensive computers. A typical digital image is approximately 5 megabytes. Too much memory required to even open a typical image file. An inexpensive modern computer uses no less than several gigabytes of ram to operate. “Fuck ‘ya feelings” is nothing more than “Go fuck ya self”, which “Yall” take credit for inventing, although that was in fairly common usage among poor White people, or at least among the rude and hateful. Ya’ll just love taking credit for things don’t ya? And “Bye now”, is shorthand for “Goodbye, for now” but you take credit for that, as well. It’s an easy and common way to make a statement without being grammatically correct in everyday usage. Lmao, you hateful racist. Or should I simply write out , “I laugh my ass off at you, because you are a hateful racist”? As I POLITELY pointed out to you, an early computer didn’t possess the computing power to handle language unless it was abbreviated. That phrase still isn’t grammatically correct but shorthand rarely is when written out, hence the term “shorthand”. I worked with early business computers in the 80s and many words had to be written in shorthand or the computer would slow to a crawl.

“Fuck ya feelings” means “Fuck your feelings” but you apparently can’t grasp that simple fact. At least those who printed out the tee shirts Trump’s hardcore supporters wore spelled it correctly but I never heard any of them pronounce it correctly. Fuck ‘ya feelings” was, as I’ve pointed out, a simplified, easy way to say “Go fuck yourself and your feelings, too”. Which is why Black people took it up, “borrowing” it from those who spoke that way and you’re now claiming credit for it on the behalf of Blacks. White people didn’t “claim” it from Black people; Black people learned it from poor Whites. And now you want to say that White people “claimed” it from Black people. And that’s how “fuck ya feelings” is a White person’s quote. Can you grasp that?

I should’ve known better than reply to such a racist rant, a diatribe of hatred for all White liberals but, alas, I gave in to my lesser nature and did it anyway, in the apparently vain hope that some people would open their eyes, although I’m fully aware that people like you would fail to see that what you’re doing is exactly what you claim White liberals are doing, no, worse than what you accuse all White liberals of doing, which is to say that we’re all bad and don’t understand systemic racism because we’re not Black. I hate to burst your bubble but one doesn’t have to be Black to understand systemic racism. I, as well as many other White people, see it every day and don’t like it. What would you think if I published a story claiming that all Black liberals are as bad as the worst of Blacks and are all thieves and liars and lazy welfare cheats? I’m sure that would bother those who aren’t which is why, unlike you, I’d never make such an ignorant, blanket statement as you made, whether it be about progressives, liberals, centrists, conservatives, libertarians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindis, Christians, Catholic or Protestants, gays, POC or even Trump followers. Because I’m mature enough to know that isn’t true and it would be grossly unfair to characterize entire groups by the actions of sub-segments of them.

Better now? Oh, and lest I forget, lmao, you hateful, racist, and poorly informed woman. To use your attempt at insulting me, “Bye child”.
