The "I don't know if this was a race thing or a lady thing" line in the trailer makes me laugh every time. Leslie Jones can't act at all but she's hilarious.

I thought the receptionist's 'someone needs to get together and fight these things' line was genius.

Big mistake on the game's part. I could have seen hilarious nerd brawls in front of every statue and plaque in Manhattan.

This is on the front page of imgur and it's just horrible. You've got people saying this girl doesn't have a father and black people should evolve. Then when they're called on obvious racism they say that it's reverse racism or that people should be able to take a joke.

No, I mean he definitely walked away from the tanks. They didn't run him over or anything.

I don't know if self-promotion is against thread rules, but I've been keeping an "Idiots on Imgur"-style twitter account, I just post whatever racist/sexist/homophobic poo poo I run into and make fun of it. (Also includes stuff that is upvoted for racist reasons due to imgur's mostly-white demographics, ie: Black people calling out other black people for being racist is usually Front Page Gold.)

What's really nuts is that imgur thinks they have a GREAT community. They schedule little gatherings where they go to camp and bond over their ~hilarious~ memes such as Michael Cera, bananas, and dickbutt. Truly a rich culture. They toot their own horn a lot about imgur being a really great community... meanwhile they're getting overrun by Stormfronters, Gamergaters from /r/KotakuInAction, and alt-righters from /r/TheDonald and are just ignoring that part of the "Community"!

I used to go on imgur a lot. I discovered a lot of good movies and TV shows in lists of those things that made the front page, and saw a lot of cute animal pictures. Then I started to realize that I was seeing less of those and more memes ranging from horrible to horribly racist/sexist and stopped going. There are lots of great places to see cat pictures and find things to watch where I don't need to deal with that poo poo.

Don't worry, 1st picture will end up on one page of a history book labeled "when black people thought everyone was racist"

He stands the test of time because his actions spoke volumes. It's by far one of my favorite photos of all time, and she's a whiny bitch.

Black lives matter desperately tries to portray itself as good while being an extremist/terrorist group.

Shes black so she has a chance of ~0.000257% of getting killed by those police. To fear that is arguably prejudice and paranoia.

Unpopular opinion: I feel that many of the BLM folks are doing it for self-promotion/ego, less conviction. Something to post on soc. media.

How about y'all stop acting like any of these protests are going to change anything and instead start being more politically active?

WTH was she expecting to change before she moved? That's what's BS about this "movement". I have heard NO plan proposed from them.

We have Jim Crows laws right now (affermitive action) directed at a minority group (white men) but no protests.

I hate the narrative they are giving her. As if we live in the 1600s trying to fight for our freedom? Bitch, sit down!

>This is America in a nutshell. "Protestors" claiming to be "brave" when they're just starting poo poo for no reason and know they'll NEVER ....
>face real consequences. So they act out like brats. BLM is a loving joke and is feeding off and creating more racism than anything else.
lol, that's literally the definition of every protest ever.

She's black? Funny I did not notice that I thot she was kind of SE Asian or something. Brown, but not "Black". Funny huh?

well, from the side profile, apart from the lacking in the boob department, she's pretty fuckable.

Imgur is just a bottom less content generator after the Dallas shootings.

That loving movie.

The rough timeline is something like -

- Holy poo poo, they're doing a new Ghost Busters, yay!
- It's a team of female ghost busters? This is pandering nonsense! Wait, are they hot? This is pandering nonsense! (goes back to DVD collection made up of 93% male-lead movies, and forgets about it for a while).
- This trailer sucks! No it's not because it's females, it's just not funny. No I'm not crying. Why do I care so much? I don't, it's just not funny, I'm entitled to my opinion! I SAID I'M NOT CRYING!
- The reviews are widely good? They're wrong! No it's not because of that, everybody knows review quotes in adverts can be misleading. I know it says 4 stars from the countries biggest newspaper, but they were obviously paid off by the publishers. I don't give 'so much of a poo poo', it's just about ethics in movie journalism.

Maybe they can do a DVD bonus version where they digitally convert the leads to male actors for the man babies.

Walking out onto a freeway can also kill people. Most likely the protesters, but also motorists swerving to avoid them. Also not peaceful.

I think these days, most people are dumb enough to believe the phrase "peaceful protest" is just the word for all protests.

The narrative is set. Just as America has helped destroy other countries it's now their turn to destroy themselves
