My favorite is when they quote MLK taping about one day race not needing to matter. And that's why they don't see race. A guy I know kept using that and he knows gently caress all about anything. Like he didn't know what the 1964 Civil Rights Act did and I've tried to claim that Slaves didn't have their identities stripped from them. (He of course has a Chinese girlfriend, because these types always loving do) He got really loving mad at me for suggesting he learn more about the subject before commenting on poo poo and this had now ruined the friendship I had with his girlfriend (who was my friend and the only reason I know the scumbag)

Yeah Kelly is trash like the rest of them she just overestimated her pull when the right wing was in the process of deciding that Trump was their god sent to save them from the foreign (and not so foreign) hordes so was on the "right" side for that. Liberal people trying to white wash her history and pretend she wasn't loathsome was super irritating. Phone posted:"I don't see race" is the biggest calling card for "IM A HUGE TOOL AND PROBABLY HAVE SOME TERRIBLE LOLBERTARIAN IDEAS FLOATING AROUND IN MY HEAD ABOUT GAME THEORY". I wonder what "I don't see race" people think about black Santa Claus or black Jesus (I don't actually wonder at all).

That or conservatives are pulling the spectrum super far to the other side since they consider racism against white people to be a much bigger issue.

Covok posted:Ugh, tell me about it. Just last week, I got stuck in an argument where a bunch of people were trying to say how the "n word" wasn't bad and it's weird we treat it as such a bad thing and how it'd be better if we could all say it and no one would care. Tried to explain the whole "the word has a bad history," the "African Americans in the 80s (?) made the argument the word was a bad one and using it implies your complicit in their mistreatment", and many other points and got sent back "the only reason no one says it is because they are afraid of getting stabbed." Add all that on top of me eventually just going "man, isn't it fun to be the only non-white person in this discussion and everyone telling me I'm wrong and the actually racist one." "Oh, you're not white. I guess I didn't notice because I don't just see race." At that point, just loving left. Seriously, if we don't stand up and do some real MLK/Malcolm X pushes in America, we are never going to see an end to racism. We really need powerful leaders like that again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg0UWxhJkfk&t=13s

I've never understood how people just don't understand context. At the most basic level, I understand that as a man that if I walk up to a woman and say "Hey, what's up oval office?" or "How ya doing bitch?" then that is inappropriate and disrespectful. But if a woman does the same thing to her girlfriends, it's completely fine and playful. Every cultural group has words like that! But for some reason it's offensive to some whites if they can't walk up to a black person and use disrespectful language? Drives me crazy.

I wouldn't be surprised if her leaving was 9% just to know she's taking one more blonde anchor out of Roger Ailes' spank bank. Even though he's out of the picture, Fox News was and still is made in his image. She's a competent, ambitious, somewhat soulless person.

A lot of people are spiteful assholes because their life didn't turn out how they wanted. Instead of self-reflection and improvement, they focus on being jerks to everyone. As acknowledging this behavior means admitting you hate yourself and are, therefore, worse off than the people you terrorize, they come up with rationalizations to deflect their bad behavior on others or make themselves out to be innocent, even saints or heroes.

I wonder how conservatives would respond to "Christianity is so successful because they were willing to alter their iconography and message to the cultural group they were recruiting. One weakness of American Christianity is its refusal to adopt this method and is a contributing factor to high rates of atheism among America's youth."

I like telling right wing fundie fanatics "Jesus was darker than Osama bin laden, so every picture you have ever seen is a lie. Wonder how much other stuff like that is a lie?" Never works because they're pretty good at ignoring truth but it's really fun to hear the arguments they come up with.

Yeah, me neither, but I bet the right does. Yeah, radical socialist policies like "poor women should be able to get health care" and "we should probably not leave the Supreme Court with a vacancy" and "paying our bills is better than destroying the global economy." I'm honestly impressed by the chutzpah it takes to declare we should refuse to pay for things we bought and still call yourself a fiscal conservative.

Basically, it's this kid minus two or three years.  This guy's fake, sure, but he's also not fake at all, because I keep meeting him when my parents coerce me into going to their evangelical church. The real variable is whether they're allowed to know about Christmas. Ragnar34 fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Jan 5, 2017 |
