evilweasel posted:the literal only way you could ever accidentally drop a hard r without being a tremendous racist who uses the word casually in contexts you think are more private is if you are absentmindedly singing along to a song that includes it I remember we were reading Huckleberry Finn out loud together in English class and I had to read the n-word and I was extremely, extremely uncomfortable doing so. Like I actually paused before the word, looked to my teacher, and she said "go ahead, it's ok." Even then I think I may have mumbled it just because I didn't want to actually say the word. Basically yeah I agree with you, dropping the hard r except in extremely rare circumstances is a pretty good sign you're a huge racist.

I have/had anger issues and ive said some really awful poo poo when I completely lose my cool. Things that are really hurtful and i regret saying them. But ive never in my life dropped the N bomb because its such an awful, hateful word. Dude who would so casually drop it definitely has white supremacist/racist thoughts and beliefs.

It’s not surprising that bitcoin crashes with the markets. Bitcoin used to be criminals and stupid people but now it’s mostly criminals and rich people (speculators run amuck). The flip occurred just this Summer.

Remember that Trump-voting salt-of-the-earth lady PBS did an obsequious interview for, and then viewers noticed her arms were covered in Nazi tattoos.  She said the Stormfront logo on her hand was just her celtic heritage, and the '88' tattoo well stop asking me questions don't you have something better to do. Welp that settles that, Nazi-tattoo lady can't be a Nazi because she said she wasn't and it's Nazi code they have to tell you they're a Nazi if you ask, just like undercover cops.

He’s willfully lumping himself with Nazis and racists. No one is forcing him in that door, he’s strolling right in. Men kanske, du förstår inte. Även inom Sverige, ett land som hade negerbollar - han är en jävla rasist.

I'm a big fan of abusing "gently caress" in very odd ways--it's been a noun, an adjective, and a verb all at once. Never thought of using the N-word though, probably because I'm not a goddamn racist.

When did "dropping the hard R" become a synonym for "the N word"? Is it actually that, or have I parsed something wrong? It really is hard to keep up with all these dog whistles/actual whistles these days.

Ok, so do you mean "actual nazi" in the figurative sense, like how Trump is embracing the same sort of authoritarian, nationalistic, ideas as the 1930's german political movement and so could be called a nazi as a way to demonstrate that he's embracing those old failed and very evil populist ideas? Or to you mean "actual nazi" as someone who is a card-carrying member of a group who calls themselves nazi? I just get confused by the heavy rhetoric used sometimes.

It differentiates between some southern yokel deliberately trying to demean a pic and a drunk sorority girl at a college bar singing a drake song. Of course it’s a distinction without a difference to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.

If you say and do racist things, you're a racist. You don't have to tick the box marked "Nazi" on a survey, you don't even have to do or say racist things all the time, you just have to say or do racist things some of the time. Now, I think there's merit to an argument that says everyone has the potential to be racist to some degree or another (chiefly because it gets us to acknowledge bias that remains inherent long after we raise ourselves above and beyond the circumstances that instilled that bias in the first place) BUT pewdiepie is more racist than just the smoldering kind of background racism. He's a real racist, and his vehement denials assuage nothing of this reality.

The only difference between Pewdiepie and the Charlottesville Nazis is that Pewdiepie pays people to hold the signs for him that demand the murder of Jews, rather than hold them personally.
