That's not a rich people thing, that's a weirdo thing. Hell, kitchens are showpieces in expensive homes. EDIT: Having a kitchen is required by building code in much of the US. Unless you built or remodeled your house completely off the books you must have a kitchen. The_Franz has issued a correction as of 23:11 on Apr 13, 2017 |

I've started to realize the ole "LIBERALS ARE THE REAL RACISTS" lines by  tea party types is a half truth. It's a bunch idiotic upper class white idiots that think all minorities dress alike, act alike and engage in similiar behaviors.It really is as disgusting as an any rear end in a top hat who flies the stars and bars, but in it's own unique flavor.

The quasi-deification of MLK jr. by white America is distressing for a number of reasons. Certainly what you're talking about, but also how it sanctifies non-violent resistance to the point where only that intentionally-misunderstood and shackled version of protest is deemed as morally valid (and in practice even it gets written off as too aggressive, see also any protest ever).

I'm more on the non-violence side, but you're correct in this matter. (I'm a very flawed believer in pacifism). Unfortunately...sometimes the other route is more successful. I'm just more upset that MLK's message has really been boiled down to what we're seeing today.. Grognan posted:It is one that the white "moderate" will SCREEE at you for implying that are not the best at anti-racism.

I often wonder if those that are well off and from rich families actually benefited from slavery more so than the people they finger point at. (Also the odds are also good that their ancestors were the types that probably hosed over ethnic groups like Italians, Irish, Catholics, etc).

I just want to say that I have a degree in "Journalism and Media Studies". I think I took the major because I had some vague fantasy about wanting to work in television, perhaps up my way into a position where I had the power to "say things that nobody else in the media is saying". It was 2009 when I graduated college. I now consider myself underemployed at 30. I'm willing to mostly blame myself for my failures. But still... that story of all those rich rear end cosmopolitan liberals working at a respectable media establishments, while looking down on poor people disappoints me, to say the least. I'm not white, so I can't use those magical White People Connections to break into the industry at this point. I'm still disappointed that, even after the election, there hasn't been a stronger bid within milquetoast liberal media channels to court or co-opt the anger of disenchanted left-leaning people under 35. Based on my personal experience, I see the mission of dismantling the current economic oligarchy as 100% compatible with dismantling white supremacy and patriarchy. And I'm annoyed just how well many liberals (and to a lesser extent, the fringe on the Left that doesn't care much about social issues) were able to play identity politics and economic justice against each other. I'm pretty sure there's nothing special about this sentiment here. But I wanted to air it out.

It would be a terrible idea and any armed black groups that emerged, no matter how spotless they actually were, would get labeled as domestic terrorists almost immediately and violently suppressed in exactly the same way that the Bundy's weren't.

CharlestonJew posted:massive gun control regulations would pass within the hour Well, the cops would run them over with APCs first, maybe go shoot some of their families while performing illegal searches of their homes for evidence of terrorist organizations, then the regulations, then we'd talk about how bad it was and how this was going to being the big moment when people wake up, then the public would forget about it. Then a little while later "Hey, what if WE tried getting MORE guns?" --- I was the it that had the conniption, by the way. That dude is a horse-dog-maniac & I knew the only end position of this moron arguing with that moron is both of us locked in a hateful nerd bitch embrace as the thread burned down around us.

mugrim posted:I gotta tell you, I never realized how loving poor my family grew up until I met these fucks. To me being rich meant your family eats out (even fast food) at home when it's not anyone's birthday. And mind you, we were white working poor, not even the kind of working poor who also have racism on top of it. That's a pretty good point, and it's not just in journalism but all over media. I don't know half the people that've been pushed as the voice of my generation, and those I do know are irritating twits that I have little in common with. I never really thought of that as a side effect of most media centers being in areas with high costs of living and having a lot of unpaid internships, but it makes sense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX3n24BMApo& I keep thinking about this ad Kyle talks about here, and there was another one where he uses Hillary's words against her. I swear to god I saw one air in Ohio several times where it played her comments calling Sanders supporters "Millennial basement dwellers", Blacks "Super Predators" and the old "Basket of Deproables" line. At the end Trump kinda goes "gently caress this poo poo. vote for me". She and her campaign really were incredible in throwing the birds at anyone that wasn't in her personality cult. I don't think I've seen a campaign insult it's side of the aisle so drat much before. FuzzySkinner has issued a correction as of 02:23 on Apr 15, 2017 |
