See, Hillary/Obama/The Deep State/The Jews/The New World Order/RINOs/Anybody politically Left of Alex Jones - They all rigged the election. Orchestrated it perfectly. But, what they didn't account for was Trump being such a champion of the people that record breaking numbers of people voted for him en masse, and managed to overturn all of the illegally generated welfare votes.

Today's is the failure of blacks to make economic progress despite the trillions (and 230 bonus SAT points) spent to help them out. Bad grades lead to bad jobs or no jobs which leads to poverty which leads to crime which leads to police interaction. Blacks are leading the league in all categories. With more crime comes more police interaction. It isn't the cops' fault. They're reacting to crime which comes as a result of poverty which comes as a result of no jobs which comes as a result of low education levels which comes as a result of {you can fill in the blank}.

Instant Sunrise posted:Behold, the LA Times comments section: First Guy: The civil war wasn't about slavery. This is too perfect. God these three responses alone are some kind of bingo. "The civil war wasn't about slavery" is practically a whole row on its own. The other one implies blacks are genetically deficient and then says "Racism is just an excuse blacks make" without the slightest hint of irony. But Christ, nothing quite like "oh you're sympathetic to black people? Why don't you spend 30 seconds in a black neighborhood??? That'll change your tune!!" Like black neighborhoods are constant active war zones where you'll get beaten to death just for being white and trying to walk through, because black people are wild, insane, violent animals. You might as well be dropped into a river full of piranhas!

Mandatory self discipline is pretty much just laws. You have to stop yourself from doing illegal poo poo. Mandatory morality on the other hand sounds just like the kinda freedom the US needs

Vib Rib posted:Second Guy: Not even the most brainwashed white supremacist would say it wasn't about slavery. The most succinct way to put it, I think is: If you know nothing about the civil war, you know it was about slavery. If you know a little about the civil war, you know it was about states' rights. If you know a lot about the civil war, you know it was about slavery. The problem is that segment of dunning-krugerrites in the middle category who know far less than they believe they do.

Sagebrush posted:The most succinct way to put it, I think is: The problem is that you've got the racists who KNOW they're racist, who feel as though their racism is entirely rational and justified, but have enough self-awareness to know that being outed as a racist is still problematic for them. They of course don't want to admit the Civil War was about slavery because they're loving racist. Then you have people who grew up being told day in and day out that the confederate flag only ever stood for cracking open cold ones with the boys and having a Southern Style good ol' time (See: Country songs about drinking, plastic liners in the back of your pickup to make a swimming pool, muddin'), and so they've built their entire social identity around idolizing the flag and what (they were told their whole lives) it stands for. So, when someone points out that it's a symbol of racism and treason, they see it as a personal attack against them, since they've adopted it as part of who they are. Plus, you have people who, when you point out it was about slavery, they immediately think of some cartoon villain twirling his moustache and cackling about how he's keeping slavery around specifically for the sheer evil of it, rather than the economical reality of "I get to keep more money if I simply own people instead of paying wages, and that's why I want it."

Pretty sure that's supposed to be Walter White and the author slipped up. Shoulda just had the guy say "Movies and TV", especially since it seems like lots of the "Ugh, diversity" complaints stem from minority and female Star Trek captains.

I don't know what it's intended to reference but it sure sounds like a line by Wesley Willis.

They shouldn't worry, the female minority captain in Discovery dies in the second episode, and then the female minority protagonist is sent to jail. Then she's recruited en route to a prison colony by a white male captain and given a second chance!
