I'm not sure if I should be glad that he's too stupid to be a proper Russian puppet or that so much of our electorate is so eager to have someone so deeply in the tank for Putin at the helm solely because he's incredibly dumb and racist for them.

All the images posted were basically comparing Trump to Hitler. I suspect there was very little irony in that.

Yeah boo on me for taking the words and actions of white people for hundreds of years and historical facts into account. Yep, all generalization with no basis in fact. You're right on the ball there chief, especially with the "a PoCs view on things should be valued at the same level as a PoC Trump supporter", because who would want us darkies messing up this traditionally white space, amirite?
You know what's racist? Infantilizing minorities. I don't think people in this thread has held you to the standard of an adult. You don't even know what the word "generalization" means. You are a loving idiot and that is the least racist thing anyone has said about you in this thread.

Yes, some white people are REALLY offended that black people present opinions about the world that runs counter to their worldview, and think the opinions of PoC aren't worthy of respect when it comes to topics about race.

Well, finally caught up on the thread, and since this is still going, I just want to say that Holy poo poo why are there so many racists here? Like, gently caress, I am a sheltered white person and I can still see a lot of them plainly, like the guy who did nothing but post "rar hulk smash, so angry," in response to gfsincere for a page or so, or the one who posted some dismissive trash like, "he's black so he can detect your racism har har". It's not literally saying the N-word but it is racist, and I would have thought a place like this would see that.

Just as bad, though, are the people condoning it because of the target. I mean, I think gfsincere is an rear end in a top hat (not that that makes him particularly unique here), but that doesn't mean I'm going to start channeling the bullshit all my terrible relatives say just because I disagree with him and he happens to be black. Decent people don't start spouting racist/sexist/homophobic/whatever bullshit when they're mad at someone who is not white/male/straight/etc. and they shouldn't condone it either.

I mean, gently caress, every time gfsincere posts here (and not infrequently when TB or KM post too), people who don't even post in this thread normally come out of the woodwork and start throwing out racist bullshit at him and it's really concerning. I hope that people are at least reporting it when it happens, but that it almost always goes uncommented on, or justified with "well it's gfsincere so gently caress him", is still pretty disgusting.


That said, on a tangent:

gfsincere posted:

Once again, I wasn't trying to take away poo poo. Someone saying "hey that thing you think is so nice and awesome isn't viewed that way by some people of x group for y reason" doesn't mean it supercedes your feelings.

gfsincere posted:

It's a statue of a white woman welcoming other white people to a land that wasn't theirs in the first place.

What's inspirational about that?

This was in response to someone talking about having been homeless or something along those lines (they didn't explicitly say) and saying that as such the message about taking people in deeply resonated with them, so, yeah, you were directly questioning it being inspirational at all; the nuance you claimed in later posts was utterly absent and made this come off as pretty mean, really. Even if something else was meant, what was said is "What's so inspirational about that?" to a person who found something meaningful because of how it spoke to them regarding lovely things they lived through.


Anyway, unrelated to all that:

I actually think it's the largest a USPOL thread has gotten as far as I, an old forums man, can recall seeing. So it was kind of a milestone. We're rapidly approaching 1500 too but that's less... Trumpy.

I was trying to remember how large the 2008/2012 threads were, but then I remembered the first version of this thread didn't start until after the 2008 election. As the Republican Party deathwatch thread.
