Yeah, sketchy is when there's someplace on the edge of safe whiteness you want to go, but there's people just beyond the edge of safe whiteness you don't want to encounter.

Re: biracial babies My mom is a super liberal pediatrician who obviously sees a lot of babies and I remember distinctly her telling me that mixed-race babies are the cutest in her opinion. As in, cuter than white babies as well. And by mixed race age she means any mix, not just those including white. I think it's mostly about a novel combination of features that just look more interesting. Maybe it's just me justifying my mom but I think there are people out there who aren't racist with it, they just appreciate something a little different. Edit: telling non-white people bi-racial babies are cuter or whatever is still a poo poo thing to do.

RareAcumen posted:Well yeah probably not. But am I still right about their neighborhoods being thought of as ghettos? Not sure about the UK but I know for sure in France they just call them poo poo holes that the government's allowed to randomly bulldoze when they need a distraction for the people to hate, I've never heard of them as 'ghettos' no. As said unless they're so secret they're even hiding from their own kind, there's like, not enough Roma in America to make up a proper 'neighborhood' unless you got literally every Roma counting halfies like me and all and put them in one place and to do that you'd need an elaborate rail system and get them all on traincars and oh no But no for real in America Roma are like, cartoon characters, and in Europe they're Public Enemy Number 1, no one really ever calls them ghetto though. sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Feb 13, 2015 |

In the UK we just blame them for all the crime and occasionally bulldoze the camps too. Also have a variety of interesting probably racist slurs to refer to them by default.

This gem popped up in my Facebook feed: Apparently my friend's little brother got a bad grade on his political science paper, but it's all the fault of liberal bias in the school system. Also, he's 22 years old and posts weekly about how Reagan wast the savior of America despite being born after Reagan's presidency. He's such a good kid but he got poisoned by AM radio...

It depends on the college. I had a buddy go to a podunk college in Maine. Dude was a fervent Christian getting a philosophy degree and he took a ton of poo poo, mostly from other students but occasionally from TAs as well. Colleges lean left and people are often dicks to minorities. It was actually a really good experience for him, and he softened a lot of his "why can't minorities just be quiet and conform?" Bullshit.

I actually ended up helping a friend from when I was in the Navy with this kind of stuff. His problem is that he was pretty much just trying to make arguments the same way you hear on the radio or see on TV, barely connected platitudes laced with inside references that would be completely alien to anyone not in the conservative sphere. I helped him rewrite his paper. Start with a strong central claim "Gun control is an unreasonable reaction to spree killings" Supporting claim: Spree killings are found throughout history -> Elaborate on several historical killing sprees, special emphasis on Indonesian 'amok' killings Supporting claim: Spree killings are extremely uncommon and should not be used as the basis for far reaching policy -> Elaborate on other more common health risks in society. Feel free to suggest that some prominent Liberals are either misguided or have ulterior motives. Conclusion: Instead of wasting time and effort trying to ban the specific weapons used, we should look for what actually causes spree killings. Anything else can never hope to be effective. This new paper, with strong arguments that are backed up with supportable claims that are explicitly linked got an A.

Crain posted:By "Their Neighborhoods" do you mean Gypsies or Black people? Because we really don't have gypsies in America. Like at all. The concept just doesn't exist. There may be a few, extremely sparse groups of them in the US, but they aren't populous enough to make up enough of a neighborhood to have it qualify for special description. If a Gypsy lives in a ghetto, it's called a ghetto because the people who live there are either black or predominately minority in make up. Yes, I know. I get that. I was only asking if Gypsy areas [which I just called neighborhoods because no one will misunderstand what you're talking about, even though I didn't have the perfect word for it off the top of my head.] were also called Ghettos. I know that they're not a big thing in America, I get that. I was just asking if where they lived were also called ghettos or not since the question was name some other race that ghetto may be attributed to so I asked because I wasn't sure if that was right or not. edit: It wasn't supposed to just be America even. I was just asking if anywhere in the world with Gypsies ever called their places ghettos or not. borkencode posted:

^^^ Sorry dude, nothing humorous really, just a ridiculous article that I didn't want to post. Here's the last paragraph: quote:Despite any noteworthy actions worthy of emulation, Abraham Lincoln stands in my mind as the worst president of "The United States", for the simple reason that his actions are still adversely felt today (well, by anybody who understands our history and pays attention to current politics). Other Presidents’ actions have faded into the history books, whereas those committed by Lincoln in the name of the Union’s preservation exist in our day as the solidified foundation of federal tyranny and centralized governmental omnipotence.

quote:Other Presidents’ actions have faded into the history books The Trail of Tears and attempted genocide of the Native American people has left them so few and scattered that now most people only know of them through history books. A Good Post. But yeah, if he's going to talk about an event with effects still felt today, what about Watergate? Not in the sense that Watergate is really relevant to anything going on, but in the sense that "-gate" has become the default term for a presidential scandal, or hell, even scandals in general ("Deflategate"). Ron Jeremy posted:Is the Lincoln hate new? I see it filtering out of the libertarians on my Facebook feed. Not sure if it's rehashed neo confederate stuff or if there's a libertarian angle. Same thing it's always been. "It was never about slavery, it was about states' rights. Lincoln was a tyrant, the Emancipation Proclamation was political theater that didn't free any slaves, it was just to get the British on the Union's side."

Ah yes, the old "the only good presidency is no presidency" game. There's only one thing worse. THIS WEEK IN LL101!  "We love things you hate and we're ugly! Ooga booga!" This is what passes for discourse.  This sure would be hypocritical if people actually were calling for people who refuse to vaxx to be jailed. THE persecution complex they're getting about anti-vaxxingis somehow even worse than their usual perseuction complex.  Yes, the differences are varied and numerous, such as being made by a white guy, and HEY LOOK OVER THERE! Also, how is Romney relevant now?  Settle in, because there's a lot of "We, the people who say Obama is a muslim kenyan socialist and conservatives aren't racist, are SHOCKED that people would present falsehoods."  "Tysons works are only really amusing to people who aren't very smart. Whereas we CONSERVATIVES love shows that challenge the mind on a deeper level. Now more about how Duck Dynasty is great!"  drat Americas tendency to take more taxes than they can spend on things. Thats why the national Suprplus keeps ticking up, and America needs to find new people to lend its money to.  quote:Because average prices for similar goods are much higher in California or New York than in Mississippi or South Dakota, the same amount of dollars will buy you comparatively less in the high-price states, or comparatively more in low-price states. Using data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, we adjust the value of $100 to reflect how prices are different in each state.  How DARE an American express a view based on a personal tragedy. Now lets talk about this American basing HIS view on his own tragedy.  quote:When future generations look back on the global-warming scare of the past 30 years, nothing will shock them more than the extent to which the official temperature records – on which the entire panic ultimately rested – were systematically “adjusted” to show the Earth as having warmed much more than the actual data justified. Scientists interpretting data to gain meaning? TRULY THIS IS THE GREATEST SCANDAL EVER!  Congress attempting to commit treason by sabotaging American process to please foreign leader - Good! Commander in Chief rescuing POW - Bad!  Why does Obama REFUSE to admit that this shooting was actually coordinated by ISIS!??! Also, "losing the war on terror". Cue hill blowing up.  Because the NRA is alll about coexisting with other viewpoints on guns.  Libruls just can't take a joke! Now, more about how Niel Degrasse Tyson keeps making up quotes to make fun of conservatives!  That sure looks like a reasonable individual who should be armed.  \And of course, when told that nobody wants your help and you are actively terrible, you of course continue to do it anyway.  Its amazing how, in spite of no other generation ever having to pay off the national debt, somehow millenials will actually be forced to. Actually, considering how much Boomers love to screw over millenials, that actually may happen.  This tweet represents the most exposiure Jon Lovitz will recieve this year.  quote:Teenagers at a California high school were publicly shamed for disagreeing with speakers allowed to push an LGBT agenda during an English class, according to several upset parents. So they're upset that people would be singled out and ostracized just for being different. And of course, not one of them figured out the irony.  Whereas conservatives would never try to control what a person can do with their body.  This is seriously going to be a thing, isn't it? Claiming Muslims don't have a hive mind is somehow a scandal by the President. quote:Funny how Blue States seems to have more Income Inequality, isn’t it…  Almost as if red states are shitholes that no-one would want to live in given half a choice.  Fines? SURELY THESE THINGS DO NOT EXIST!  Science changes to become more right, therefore it is untrustworthy. Now, a worldview that never ever adapts, THATS what we need to listen to.  Oh No, Not My General Election!  No, but I'm sure the conservatives who called her an antisemitic bitch would be glad to tell her how western imperialism is always justified.  ..."being caught telling the truth"? The gently caress?  Which is why the Forbes 500 list is made up equally of people born rich and people born into poverty.  "that the world wants done". So, the individual thats doing something that everybody already wants, won't face opposition. That literally means nothing!
