Does it hurt your feelings when people online say something about your race?

For example, "*race* are trashy and smell like sewage" it's online, so they don't know you but even if it's not true about yourself, does it make you feel bad since they're talking about your race? Should it bother you if someone makes a cruel statement towards a race?

    Then why people complain that I am thick skinned. I think it is their fault.

    I will Not be easily offended. Why should I bother. Why should I worry. I know for certain that worry wastes time and energy. It does not change anything. All it does is seals the joy and occupies me very busy doing nothing.

    In general, I don't pay any head to 'that someone', who is unknown to me and a stranger. By the way, who is he.

    Online allows people say ugly things concerning anything without have to communicate face to face. That being said... online statements are just that.. online... impersonal... and if you don't know the people.. without context. I could care less what people say about online... however, I also don't use social media and an not looking for what people say to me "online".... So.. NO, who cares what people say.... you are stonger then that.

    If you allow --comments from jerks on the internet to make you "feel" bad, you are giving your power away to them AND they are accomplishing the exact goal that they want. Now if they show up on Facebook posts delete them

    Who are these people? Why are you reading that junk? What others say says more about them then it does about you. You'd be wise to learn this lesson early in life. It will save you from many annoyances. Stop reading that crap, that's just self abuse.
