DnD's Trump thread is becoming indistinguishable from C-SPAM's Trump thread. Should I be worried? :ohdear:

No, but it would really help not to engage people who can't understand the basics of race relations even with dozens of posts explaining it. Sometimes you have to move on and write them off as a lost cause while you pursuit more fruitful avenues. If they come around in their own time that is fine.

Anybody here who plays the centrist or "Both sides" card should be the forum equivalent of punched in the face because you do not negotiate with that kind of poo poo.

How many A4s of the map does Donald give out a day? Who does he give it to and does he repeatedly do so to the same person? Is he still using his first run or has he "Upgraded" to stone paper or a heavier gloss? Does he keep smaller version to pull out of his pocket or does he fold the A4s. How many does he have framed and where are they?

It's also considered bad form to use MLK snippets without serious consideration of the whole thesis of the speech.
There is a long history of white people cherry picking quotes to justify passivity in the face of social injustice because you have nice thoughts in your heart. MLK called such behavior out himself.
Needless to say that "I have a dream" is so much more than hey guys, life without skin tone bias sure would be swell.

Trying to let sleeping dogs where they lie yes. I mean if people want to discuss the whole Trump issue again instead of just absolutely making GBS threads on users for sport again then great I'm happy to be here, but if this is the angle people plan on taking then I don't see how me leaving or saving is going to salvage this thread any time soon either way to be honest.

And yeah the posting has gotten absolutely ridiculous hasn't it. It definitely wasn't like this when I first started posting in the thread, but then again congress wasn't in recess and Trump was on daily rather than weekly twitter tears.

I never actually thought I'd be hoping for this but here we are. If he's not tweeting or generally being a poo poo human being the posters really do turn on each other here fast as lightning for what I guess is entertainment. It makes me question how many people are here to discuss the issues somewhat seriously versus having someone to poo poo on which up until Kelly Trump was good for on a daily basis.

Come on dude really? You think I don't get that. Am I not allowed to have a favorite quote that I've taken to heart from the guys speech now that just happens to be in the body of the most famous part of the address. Maybe there's a reason it's the most well remembered by the world at large. Not everything needs to be an issue or something to soap box about.

Also worth mentioning the brand of "civil rights" I so utterly loathe to discuss is that co-opted version of it places like the KKK use to try to inject their inability to view the world through anything other than racist and baleful terms into every conversation they can. loving hate it. I don't want to be looking for information on the ball game or something and have to hear some loving assholes latest diatribe on why they want to be pissy about a black player or non-Christian male managers being in the league and horseshit about an Zionist Agenda etc. etc. It's painful to me. That's the "civil rights" I utterly loathe and seek to avoid entertaining conversations about for any length of time, not the kind whose end goal seeks equal rights and civil liberties for people of all walks of life that came out of the sufferage movements. Hopefully for the writers that are publishing from a position of good faith that clears a few things up.


It strikes me as very trendy at the moment. Trendy doesn't specifically mean something new and hip to me, just what's currently hip. I went from never really seeing the term to seeing it used several times constantly in these papers this week. Perhaps that's one of those matters of perspective though.

If Trumps being a poo poo in Texas tomorrow like he almost certainly will be and making headlines and people are still just making GBS threads on each other for no reason and calling out posts people made in other forums to poo poo on them and reacting to those instead of talking about the news and Trump that's when I say gently caress it to this thread and chalk it up as a lost cause. I think that seems fair. If people want this thread to be gifs and just attacking others for poo poo that isn't even close to the topic than majority rule but it's going to be a really lovely thread for it. This is already really starting to remind me way to much of how 4chan works at the moment anyway. Like just poo poo on people, attack them, hate the other users and avoid talking about what's in the actual thread header at all costs.

The problem with this is you're essentially saying "I don't see race". I would be happy to explain why this is a problem if you are actually going to listen but I expect it will be a futile exercise.

also re: MLK



I have on several occasions literally not seen race. I didn't know that my ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend was black, despite seeing pictures of him for two and a half years on Facebook.

I finally learned he was black because it was mentioned in a GBS thread, and then I was like "Oh, okay, I guess that means a lot of things make sense"

Alright how about this.

I'm more than happy to do this and lets see what happens okay. My guess is you just start attacking another poster and talk about anything but Donald Trump, his administration and tweets but I truly hope I'm wrong.

But you assumed they were white because that's the default in ambiguous situations right? Or are you trying to say that sometimes race isn't determinable just through a photo?

Nah.

If you are actually dedicated to the cause, then I'm not sure why you're complaining about people calling you out.
People called you out for using white privilege language and you said you sort of understand that thing a bit better now, and that's actually pretty good, but here you are again taking issue with people calling something out, undermining your own admission and the validity of your previous statements.

You're basically putting your foot in your own mouth with such a frequency that it makes people assume you might be a troll.

And now you're claiming that "OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO DIFFICULT", implying the fault lies with them, except it isn't difficult for a lot of the posters in this thread to not be like that. Several immediately pointed out the issue with your earlier "colourblindness" post in quick succession and the explanation aligned. So it isn't really a weird irrational overreaction to harmless statements, but an actual common issue that many people are acquainted with.

Covok or some of the other posters get a lot of poo poo for other reasons.
You get a lot of poo poo because you have a talent for looking disingenuous.
And that is due to the way you present your own arguments.

Hey guys, good news. Seems that crying nazi was just JOKING about killing Jews. GET IT?

Chris Cantwell’s new lawyer claims the infamous “Crying Nazi” was joking about killing Jews — like he did in his failed stand-up career.

According to The Daily Beast, ‘Crying Nazi’ Cantwell‘s new lawyer called Cantwell as a “shock jock” and compared him to the (Jewish) comedian Jackie Mason.

No. People are calling you out specifically because you're an idiot and an rear end in a top hat and you STILL keep pretending that you're smarter than you think you are instead of listening to people and self-reflecting. You are the worst kind of self-centered centrist liberal trash. Grow up. Learn to admit when you're wrong instead of playing the victim card like a child.
