If I ever felt the need to call anything a guilty pleasure, that would be it. But I don't so gently caress it, I love wrestling. As to a post you made earlier, Hulk Hogan broke my goddamn heart.

But I don't so gently caress it, I love wrestling. My girlfriend hates wrestling and thinks it's the stupidest fuckin thing in the world. Also, I put in Wrestlemania 30 while we were both working in the living room and I never seen someone get so invested in the Undertaker Lesnar match or the D Bry Triple Threat match. I think this video actually convinced her to go into wrestling with the proper state of mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYvMOf3hsGA

That video is pretty great. I showed it to my brother the other day and it always seems to get a good response. The problem with wrestling proper has always been the possibility of a Katie Vick level event happening when someone walks into the room. You really need to carefully vet what you show someone as their first exposure, live shows are way too swingy when it comes to taste and entertainment. WWE seems to have a masterpiece level Wrestlemania on every single multiple of 10's and it always seems to immediately snap back from that high afterward.

While it's not my things I can respect it since it's no worse than me listening to a poo poo load of guitar pedal vids or other music gear vids for fun (and because my selfish lizard brain secretly wants them all)

You know, I think about things like since there's Twitter and then there's Black Twitter, do white people know there's a whole bunch of hilarious as gently caress YouTube videos that they have no clue about. Like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx1J2CzNnS8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5KxZ5Lc_YA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8fSGa2d7Ec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_pV0H5ieiw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt5ghXdq6Z0

Some of those names on that panel make me absolutely loving giddy for the shellacking that he is gonna receive. Edit: I should have know better than to go back into QCS but this is what I mean this poo poo is everywhere. We have had at least two black posters acussed of faking their blackness because they are gimmicks (Sedan Chair and TB) I am like 90% sure TB said either here or the Misogynoir thread that she was mixed race, which makes that whole thing doubly hosed up. Just goddamn it people..... LunarShadow fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Jan 10, 2017 |

Looks like "Panel III" are speakers in opposition, not just questioning: http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/capitolinq/Cory-Booker-to-testify-against-fellow-Sen-Jeff-Sessions-at-attorney-general-hearing.html quote:WASHINGTON -- In a step his office says is unprecedented, Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.) will testify against fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions Wednesday when the Alabama Republican, nominated to become U.S. Attorney General, comes before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Quite a stark contrast between what Booker and Lewis are doing and those on the left who want to listen to Sessions first.

I'll take a neoliberal that ensures that regardless of the economy I'll still be treated equally over a socialist that takes time to "hear out" a man who has been an unapologetic racist for decades.

Gringostar posted:Tangent to this, I'm curious about what people's opinion of the amen break is when it comes to cultural exchange and cultural appropriation given it's massive influence on not only hip hop but also all kinds of other forms of electronic music. I'm gathering the impression from this post that you may possibly view Techno/EDM/House/etc as 'white' electronic music. ... but it is absolutely not, as techno was invented in Detroit by Derrick May:  and also Juan Atkins:  And House was invented by Larry 'Fingers' Heard in Chicago:  .There is effectively no mass-media-globally-popular music style in existence today that has not been appropriated/stolen in some way from people of African descent (usually from America, sometimes from elsewhere like Jamaica). The fact that so many people view EDM/electronic music as 'white' is just another in a long string of white people taking over poo poo they ain't made and putting their own logos on it.

A lot of the democrats who I had previously been really happy with went sour on me real fast after the election. No, stop reaching across the drat isle. I think it was someone in this thread that said something like "They're trying to play a game of cards with a person who wants to stab them. The guy with the knife is gonna win." I really like that analogy and have used it a lot, so thank you, whoever you are.

People got real loving excited to blame southern black folk for Sanders losing the primary then blame anti-racist efforts for white folk voting for Trump when his cheeto rear end won. Maybe I really am in a bubble living in a coastal metropole but I'll be damned if I can think of a single person I know who self-identifies as left-leaning and blames antiracism for hurting the democrats in the election. Its always either the South Park/College Libertarian types or other variants of assholes who insist on calling themselves 'centrists' or 'moderate' when really all they are is the enablers of fascism 420 Gank Mid fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Jan 10, 2017 |

The fact that she literally went out of her way to work with those same churches for decades before that means there was a really loving good chance she wasn't saying it from a racist perspective like all the fox news talking heads did during poo poo like Ferguson. Like how loving dumb do you have to be to have a virtually every black person in this thread talks about all the good poo poo she did for their community that is easily verifiable with the slightest bit of research... and then just proceed to ignore it wholesale because poo poo like context and historical record is apparently beyond your comprehension? Maybe (and I'm speaking as a white dude FFS so black posters jump on me if I'm out of line) black people are the ones that get to decide who gets a bit of leverage on poo poo that might be racially charged when it's said and who doesn't based on their history within the black community and not white people.
