PeterCat posted:It was amazing watching Spike Lee melt down that white people were ruining the ethnic flavor of his old neighborhood. I'm sorry, what now? /edit: I don't know enough about why Spike Lee is apparently an rear end in a top hat, but I'm failing to make the connection to a generalization here

There large parts of my town outside chicago that don’t have sidewalks. That’s not a thing unique to this town either. That is my contribution to transport chat. Re:clearances. Is there any way for him to make it so civilians have to reapply for clearances because that would really gum things up in a bad way. E:a word Richard Bong fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Dec 18, 2020 |

Til jan 20 he is the final arbiter of who is allowed a clearance. I think he could actually strip everyone of their clearance, tho I imagine if he does something like that the agencies involved will just keep a list of who already cleared and reinstate them as soon as Biden gives the green light

mlmp08 posted:Thank god we have you policing Spike Lee's ability to talk about gentrification because he didn't stay his rear end where he belonged, according to you. And so he has no right to bring up racism and gentrification? Get the gently caress outta here. Yes, SimonCat became PeterCat. Nothing gets by you. "Where he belonged?" He can live wherever he wants, it's just really funny to me that he's complaining about people moving and ruining the neighborhood he grew up in when he didn't stay. He sounds exactly like the old guys I know who complain about Hispanics moving in or black people from Chicago moving in. He's a comfortable rich man who doesn't like people who aren't like him. Also, Da Five Bloods was half a good movie. The first half, dealing with black Vietnam vets coming back to Vietnam and dealing with their memories was really interesting. His half-assed remake of the Treasure of the Sierra Madre that made up the second half sucked. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

PeterCat posted:Yes, SimonCat became PeterCat. Nothing gets by you. Yeah that's a good take on Da Five Bloods. I really liked Black Klansman so had high hopes, and agreed the first part was interesting and it seemed like the theme was going to be about how the guys were taken advantage of by their country and sent to war against a foe who were also suffering, and learning they now had things in common with their former enemy. Then it fell into the heroes endlessly mowing down Vietnamese guys for gold, so never mind violence is cool and good if you're doing it for money? Plus their actions get the landmine removal guy killed, so I thought it would end with them all dying because of greed and the gold being lost again but nope. Was way too long almost pushing 3 hours.

PeterCat posted:Yes, SimonCat became PeterCat. Nothing gets by you. No he doesn't. You're being a miserably disingenuous dumbass. And you're claiming he doesn't get to talk about his black experience, because he moved, and so he doesn't count unless he stays geographically where you think he has to stay for it to be a valid point. gently caress that. Here is a quote from the link you posted: Spike Lee posted:Here’s the thing: I grew up here in Fort Greene. I grew up here in New York. It’s changed. And why does it take an influx of white New Yorkers in the south Bronx, in Harlem, in Bed Stuy, in Crown Heights for the facilities to get better? The garbage wasn’t picked up every motherfuckin’ day when I was living in 165 Washington Park. P.S. 20 was not good. P.S. 11. Rothschild 294. The police weren’t around. When you see white mothers pushing their babies in strollers, three o’clock in the morning on 125th Street, that must tell you something. So you're saying that when old white guys complain about Hispanic or black people moving into their neighborhood, some of the key complaints are that it took black people and Hispanic people moving in for the civic services and police to care about their neighborhood? And that when black people and Hispanic people moved in, the private school industry got very expensive, and it was a shame how that's when finally public schools started to get funded? And when black and Hispanic people moved in, fancy real estate agents renamed the streets to make them appeal to wealthier people? And when black and Hispanic people came, it priced renters and new buyers out of the market? You are arguing that THAT is what white people complained about when black and Hispanic people moved into neighborhoods? This is a chef's kiss dumbass internet dude take to say that what Spike Lee said in your link is the same as segregationists.

In short, gentrification creates material problems for the people already living there. “Hispanics moving in or black people from Chicago moving in” creates imaginary problems.

It's the same stupid logic as "Well Kaepernick should shut up and just play! He's rich now, what does he have to care about police misconduct?!?" Spike Lee being rich allows him to boost his voice and his take that gentrification is killing neighborhoods like the one he grew up in, even if it doesn't necessarily effect him anymore. That isn't a bad thing unless you're a moron.

I'm not sure if it's just because racist or if it's the galaxy-brain take where an internet-poisoned person thinks that as long as they believe in class war, it's impossible to be a racist, no matter how much what they're saying appears racist as all hell.

Class war is race war is a valid take(historically anti-poor measures seemed to hit minorities harder) but you have to remember to factor in the stupid racist portions when you judge it. I think hes the dumbest tankie

My official guess on this stuff: https://twitter.com/PDShinkman/status/1339997073484238861?s=19 Donnie yelled at Acting SecDef to block future talks because he didn't lose, you see, Congress will make him president on January 6th! And so they're spinning and coming up with bullshit excuses because they can't say the literal truth that Donnie ordered the stop. I believe it's actually illegal to block a transition per Congressional statutes, so give it a day or so.

They could kettle them out the front door then gas them in the parking lot. But they're white so they'll be called a 'militia' and catered to like pampered children.
