To the franchise's minor credit, they have very clearly been trying to phase that logo out, but unfortunately they lack the intestinal fortitude to just go through with it because it might alienate fans. Which is weird, because you'd think that the ability to make new merchandise would outweigh the losses from losing tens of people who are so hung up on the logo it'd permanently sever them from spending money on the team.

The Indians actively removing the Chief Wahoo logo from their uniforms and then making the "C" their primary logo is at least something (even if, admittedly, it is only a step in the right direction).

My only points of comparison on this are other sports teams where actually the problem is you for getting offended by the term Redskin as it is actually a very honorable treatment of Native Americans, and we've formed a foundation so we are definitely not the racists.

colonel_korn posted:Those are all deserving candidates, but I think you'd be remiss to leave out Glenn McCoy, who can't seem to draw her without cranking "OLD HAG" up to 11. "War on Bill's sex victims" What's the deal with that? I went on wikipedia to find something about Bill Clinton and sexual assault and didn't find much. One woman claimed he had sexually harassed her in 1991 but that got settled after the Lewinsky affair, after being struck down by a judge. Another woman said that he groped her while he was president, but there seemed to be some inconsistencies with her story so there seems like nothing happened there. And yet another one says that he raped her in the 70s. I guess that those cases are the supposed "sex victims" that Bill had, but what do they mean with Hillary waging a war on them?

Stultus Maximus posted:No, in the context of that tweet it means letting black people in the US (first experiment) and then giving them rights (second experiment). Actually I'm pretty sure that in typical racist parlance the first "experiment" was freeing the slaves/Reconstruction and the second one would be the CRA. Basically any time the American government was finally forced to recognize black people as loving human beings. In my horrible Southern experience that's what I've garnered at least.

Not to say that Bill is an innocent here, because he probably did leverage his position of power over women and honestly it's not easy to accuse a person in said position of power. As much as people like Tinsley whined about Anita Hill in some truly  moments, Clarence Thomas is still sitting on the Supreme Court.Having said that, McCoy doesn't give two shits about the women and just wants fodder to score sick burns on Hillary.

Speaking of Jack Chick, the guy is 91 years old at this point, and given his reclusive nature I can't help but be a bit  and wonder if he just died off a couple years ago and they just stayed quiet about it since he's the face of the company or whatever.

InequalityGodzilla posted:Isn't it great? Finding honest to goodness Chick Tracts in my part of the country is like seeing a unicorn. Did you encounter many tracts growing up in Cleveland? One of my friends back in the day just straight up handed me one. It was "Big Daddy?", which is the one we all know so well as the creationism Ur-fwd, complete with the humiliated college professor whose confidence in evolution was so easily shattered by the logic of Kent Hovind's mouthpiece. That was my first encounter with a Chick Tract, and it wasn't even find sitting on a men's room toilet. As for the second part of the quote:   I haven't spoken to my in-laws in three years, and I know what they'd say on the matter. I'm just glad I wasn't anywhere near them when Trayvon Martin/Tamir Rice/Ferguson/Baltimore happened

Mr E posted:I had a prof try and grade the very few women in one of my class "easier" because he didn't think they were actually smart enough to be in Engineering. It was extremely offensive, and "I don't think you're cut out for this" is a perfect description of what many think of women in my field. When I was in college two women I knew had a professor in a programming course that said to them, on the first day of class, he "expected the girls in the class to drop out. Sorry, just saying it how it is". I tried to get them to talk to the head of the department (who was a woman) but they didn't want to cause a fuss. I also had a separate teacher in another programming course, who, when I asked for help, began explaining how to use the windows start menu. Honestly most of my male classmates were okay, there's just a lot of really condescending old men that need to die off.  1 2 3 4 5 6

Zerilan posted:One of the professors in my school's math department (along with two undergrads working with her for capstone credit) basically did a study of the dropout/switched major rates by gender in our school over the past decade for the STEM majors, including polling as many current students, dropouts, and people who changed major as they could. Dropout/transfer rates among struggling underclassmen were vastly higher for women, and it had a lot to do with that when a man is struggling in a STEM course, it's "you just need to work harder," while when a woman is struggling in the same course, it's "maybe you're not cut out for this." If true, this does a lot to explain my experiences in engineering school where there were far fewer women but almost all of them were extremely capable while there were tons of men and I would say half of them probably shouldn't be designing anything more complicated than an inclined plane.
