I hate this gif because the scene is misquoted, and the episode where it's from is actually a major example of the fake quote. It's a giant "If MLK was alive today he would be ASHAMED at the STUPID UNGRATEFUL GOOD-FOR-NOTHING BLACK PEOPLE". He even has a speech about it and it's completely sincere.

Little do they know that King defended riots as "the language of the unheard" (in the sense of "Fix what's causing the drat riots", not "Go out and riot until everything is solved") and was also a gun owner who advocated the ownership of weapons among blacks for protection from racially motivated violence.

It's a little bit different here because the two writers of the show are both black, and they're both well versed in modern day African-American culture. That being said, I agree with you that nobody should put words into MLK's mouth.

In fact, you get to pick between cities controlled by fascists and cities controlled by organized crime (being a fascist itself is supposed to be a crime but  "they actually have good points on the condition of the common man" literally says a report by the - 99% fascist - police)

Fathis Munk posted:Imgur is absolutely disgusting again after the recent events. The best/worst thing is that they adjusted for population size the wrong way around.  If you divide the white population size by the black one, you'll find that there about 5.2 times as many white people as black people. So yes, black criminals committing 5 times as many violent crimes against white victims is literally exactly in line with that, since there are 5.2 times as many potential white victims around than there are black ones. But evidently that didn't fit with the graphic's narrative, so the creator just switched things around and hoped nobody would notice.

I can only manage to reply to any of these posts with "Stop using tragedies for your politics", adding in insults depending on how bullshit the post was. Is it really so hard to not go on a gun rights rant every time some rear end in a top hat shoots a bunch of people?

We basically had that sort of talk the other day with the leader of the racist Swedish Democrats stating that "we KNOW that new asylum seekers are responsible for the rapes that has happened on some of the latest weeks' festivals (contrary to what local police had said). When asked for evidence for this stance he kept referring to the police (that had debunked his statements) and eventually called the journalist silly for still asking for solid proof other than racist stereotyping. This happened on national television. I honestly can't believe it hasn't been a bigger deal because the interview is cringeworthy and hilarious at the same time.

It's really weird to me that I only ever hear two things about Sweden as an American. Either how great the country is or how some of the people there are really racist.

Sweden IS a great country to live in. But there are tons of racists, and the third biggest party in riksdagen is basically well dressed nazis. I guess I'm part of the problem, since I just said what you always hear about us. Jesus Sweden, make up your mind.

I'm not an expert on race relations in the United States, but really? Were there no other alternatives? Could they not think of any other black people in this country? "Who should we talk to?" "I want The Game to sign my asscheeks" "Sold, get him on the negotiating table."
