If you fly or defend the battle flag , you're a dipshit.

If you fly or defend the battle flag in New York or California, you're a next level dipshit.

It's never funnier to fly the battle flag than in Pennsylvania, where the Confederacy effectively died.

I know this isn't the Minnesota thread, but let me tell you, when Jesse Ventura and Mark Dayton agree on something... Well, it's not something that happens every year.

I like Jeff Gluck a lot, but he was overreacting. When someone accuses you of racism, you don't go "Oh my god, they think I'm racist, I need to make some changes right now." Instead, you stop, take a moment, and really try to understand what's happening. There is racism out there - absolutely - but in recent years the definition of that term has been broadened to include things objectively unworthy of outrage, things like Dr. Seuss and Atticus Finch. The term's been used recklessly - not by everyone - but by a loud enough portion of the population that seems to be getting all the screen time. These absurdities have become the norm, which has ironically hurt the cause of social justice.

Let's not forget: calling someone a racist is a serious charge. The word has so much power in the U.S. - it can effectively blacklist you just as "Communist" did during the Red Scare. People have lost their jobs over this. It's easy not to care when the person being fired is someone we find funny and old, like Paula Deen or Don Imus. But the reality is we're all on the hot seat, just one careless word or gesture away from joining them. Nowadays, everyone's so afraid of being called racist that they won't take a stand and say "hey, that doesn't make sense." They're too afraid to share their beliefs. Too many will take the easy route and just fall into line and accept their punishment. I won't do that.

Old people can be racist as gently caress and white privilege that isn't acknowledged is functionally the same as being racist.

E: moreover, I have a huge problem with Imus and Deen. It's unacceptable and regardless of who is saying it "I'm sorry you were offended" isn't a real apology.

Also NASCAR is abso-loving-lutely the most racist sport in america. This is a goddamn enterprise which took away a win from a black driver. This is a business where people would yell at a guy from South America to "go back to mexico".

I was in Vegas and considered going but it would have meant me leaving tomorrow night on a red-eye flight instead of today at 2pm and gently caress that poo poo.

E- Been saying for years trucks are the best series on the cookie cutters. Also, 11 different winners in 11 races at Las Vegas is a cool stat. Kyle Busch is not among them :smug:
