We used ikkle occle chocolate bottle you are out. Our school was so white in the 1980s that when we were 7 our teacher sat us down in a semi-circle and asked if we had ever seen a black person before. One kid piped up "Yes. In Sheffield" we all nodded in agreement and that was the end of the diversity lesson.

big scary monsters posted:I'm pretty sure we split the difference with "tigger". I always heard/said tigger, but as far as I knew that was just the actual words - it was only when the whole Jeremy Clarkson thing happened that I found out there was a racist version. My younger kids were actually saying eenie meenie minie mo while choosing toys the other day, they said tiger so that must be the version they say up here.

 Did they deliberately make it look like those terrible magazines that appear by the checkout? The ones with headlines full of rape and abuse and a blankly smiling woman on the cover that look designed to appeal only to the villains in Dexter. They've managed to make something significantly more cringeworthy than The New European, that takes effort. Prince John posted:Then Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem for Scouts incorporating it called the Counting Out Song, which is what popularised it in the UK:

That's just what you get if you don't parachute in a highly polished career politician. Someone from the local party who was in no way expecting to be thrust onto the national stage.

The problem with the shirt is that without any context, you have to guess what it means based on various versions of the rhyme. And since there's only one version that involves people, and it's a super bad word, everyone except Walking Dead fans are at best going to be hugely confused and at worst assume they're fash and beat them into paté.

I don't think that's how most people's minds work. I see a tshirt with a baseball bat and "eenie weenie" and get told it's a Walking Dead tshirt, i'm assuming it's a guy picking which zombie to hit. You've gotta make a few jumps of logic to assume the person wearing it is a white supremist and it's these kinds of decisions that piss off ordinary people who see it as overbearing and being overly sensitive. It undermines genuine racism because it becomes a "EU bendy bananas" fact (but true) that fascists can fall back on when they're accused of racism.

jBrereton posted:It's going to be Snell saying brexit is a massive pile of poo poo, which 70% of Stokians voted for. Well, obviously you'd know that when you're on the front cover. It's funny that BREXIT magazine have decided to big up the leader of the S-Club fan club rather than the leader of UKIP in Stoke. Even with the three line whip for Brexit, the Tories are just going to go on pretending Labour are an anti-Brexit party it seems.

Today in Peak Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/22/moonlight-film-critics-moral-high-ground quote:Twitter turned on Long. Her review of Moonlight wasn’t just wrong – it was racist. Not to mention snide, snooty and a teeny bit sociopathic. Righteousness rained down, a hailstorm of horror on a tide of piety.

It will change the landscape of Europe completely; its actually quite shocking how well she is doing lately as she does seem the most competent politician in France. Also tomorrows by election results are due around 2am, BBC has a This Week special running too at least 3am, if you feel like staying up and watching / setting your alarms.

LemonDrizzle posted:She is virtually certain to win the first round, and is polling at around 58-42 (on the losing side, thankfully) against both her likely second round opponents. Based on the current polls she's unlikely to win, but she's been doing progressively better in second round polls over time and even if she doesn't win, we'll have a situation where over 40% of the French electorate wants to be governed by the National Front, so yeah.... not so good. You mean over 40% of votes cast. There are many that don't view much of a difference between Fillon and Le Pen. The latest Elabe poll, for example, has turnout in the first round being a sad 57%. Ifop has it on 62%. Opinionway has over 80% of the electorate saying the presidential election is "of bad quality". Lord of the Llamas fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Feb 22, 2017 |

The betting markets have been overly bullish on Le Pen for months. She's consistently had shorter odds that Trump did despite the fact that Le Pen has a bigger electoral obstacle to overcome. Unfortunately I think that the gap between the market position on Le Pen and her chances is narrowing over time. Today is an important day. If Bayrou announces his candidacy that will help split the centrist vote and actually give Hamon a chance to pip them to the 2nd round. If Bayrou endorses Macron that'll probably help put him over the top and he has consistently polled better against Le Pen than Fillon.
