I think most LL101 macro dumps can be replaced with 'So if liberals [Swedish Chef dialogue]' at this point because everything that he types is pure gibberish/bullshit.

I'm pretty sure at this point you could post "liberals are lizard men from Mars that eat babies and poo poo German cars" and you'd get a wave of agreement from the right.

What does God require of us? In three weeks, we saw Marlene Pinnock, a woman in Los Angeles, laid out on the freeway, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, a California highway patrolman hit her 15 times on video, with no weapon in her hand, nothing, no threat to her. Right after that, a man, they said he had loosie cigarettes, and they put an illegal chokehold on him — a man videoed it, eleven times he said he couldn’t breathe – and the policeman wouldn’t let him go. Later that week, we see Michael lying on the ground. America, it’s time to deal with policing! We are not the haters, we’re the healers!

What does it require of us? We can’t have a fit; we’ve got to have a movement. A fit you get mad and run out for a couple of nights. A movement means we’ve got to be here for the long haul, and turn our chants into change, our demonstration into legislation, we have got to stay on this so we can stop this. We need the Congress to have legislation about guidelines in policing. We need to have a fair, impartial investigation. Those that are compromised will not be believed. And we need those that are bad cops – we are not anti-police, we respect police – but those police that are wrong need to be dealt with, just like those in our community are wrong need to be dealt with.

Let us be real clear: The only thing, if you have a bushel of apples, the only thing that messes up good apples is if you don’t take the rotten apples out the bushel. We are not the ones making the cops look bad; it’s the bad apples that you won’t take out the bushel.

What does God require? We’ve got to be straight up in our community, too. We have to be outraged at a 9-year-old girl killed in Chicago. We have to be outraged by our disrespect for each other. Our disregard for each other. Our killing and shooting and running around gun-toting each other. So that they are justifying trying to come at us because some of us act like the definition of blackness is how low you can go. Blackness has never been about being a gangster or thug. Blackness was no matter how low we was pushed down, we rose up anyhow.

Can you pass a source on that Sharpton quote? Just so I can back it up after throwing it at people who think Sharpton's just a 'race hustler'?

Minghawk posted:

Thanks for mentioning that, because it's been confusing the hell out of me since these memes started. I'd assumed it was some sort of UK/US difference, as it's always sand-coloured ankle-length hiking boots. You'd be legally prohibited from entering a building site in the UK wearing something as dainty as that.

It's kind of a pain honestly, they really clog the toilet.

Yeah honestly I've worked a bunch of manual labor jobs in my life and I've never had work boots. Nowadays there are very few jobs that they'd be useful for. We don't really have a lot of factories anymore. Most jobs are service jobs and work boots would just be a pain in the rear end. In any case, if you had the choice, why would you steal work boots? I'd rather steal the really fashionable or really expensive poo poo instead. You can then either flip them for cash or just enjoy having something nice for a change.

Don't forget the corollary! Anybody who is forced to do one of those filthy backbreaking jobs is of lower worth as a human being, and thus does not deserve to be able to feed their family or go to the doctor.

Why is it that all these assholes who bitch about minorities complaining think that Irish jokes are either relevant or the height of comedy?

Living in the northeast where basically every white person is of Irish or half-Irish descent, making Irish jokes is seen as a fun self-deprecating jab.

The problem is some people start going "Well I don't mind Irish jokes, why do [THOSE PEOPLE] get upset at stereotypes?!" not understanding that A. It's ok when you're making fun of yourself and B.Irish people don't face any real discrimination for being Irish (not anymore anyway).

Because the people who faced real discrimination for being Irish are already dead

Speaking of hipsters one of my old roommates would always listen to country music on an old disc recorder and always wore an undershirt and tried to mimic a folksy speech even though he comes from upscale, white suburban LA. He was basically a hipster, only trying to imitate a redneck and be a Real American™.
