Stultus Maximus posted:I recall that. What was the "joke" they'd use? "Didn't mention race, must have been Amish!" or something. Yep! That's a Freep thing, where whenever they thought the media was hiding that a suspect was Muslim, they would say jokingly "Must have been one of those Amish folks." Likewise, it's now used as a code word for any nonwhite race. In fact, if you look at Freep's keyword search, there's a number of articles tagged with "Amish" such as a recent story about police charging a black woman with attempting to run a woman and child off the road, and a black woman who allegedly shot her 12 year old son over a missing memory card. Also a story about a woman in Sweden who was beaten in Norrby, Sweden, which has one of those dreaded "No-Go Zones" that right wingers like to pretend exist. Hell, let's even link a Freep thread where they talk about this very topic when it was written about by the Charleston City Paper! At the Free Republic, 'Amish' is code for an anti-black slur (Old but funny) Since this is the politoons thread and not the Freep thread I'll only quote two posts, but this should about sum it up. quote:When I see the word “Amish” used sarcastically on FR I think blacks or Muzzies. The N-word must be this guy’s thought pattern. quote:I would say that “Amish” is actually code for . . . whatever identifying term the MSM refuses to use in its stories because — horrors! — to actually use identifying terms is to “profile.”

Fister Roboto posted:Yeah I'm gonna go with yes. The global reaction to omicron possibly originating in southern Africa was extremely racist, even if it's not Trump and Branco's overt style of racism. Yeah, basically my response is a one word version of either, because of course Branco (or anyone on the right making that argument) doesn't give two shits about the answer, or about hypocrisy, they just know that their opponents, in general, do. It's just a troll to draw people into frustrating circular arguments. The only good response, if one just can't bring themselves to avoid responding at all, is the most low effort troll in return. Just saying 'yes' or 'no' (but not both) to every stupid hook they toss out either gets them to go away or gets them to spiral into flailing arguments. But yes, the actual answer is yes.

Rall: Fun for the Whole Country! Race Trial! Ted Rall posted:Every so often there’s another so-called "race trial." Whether the defendant is white as in the Arbury trial or Black as with O.J. Simpson, or a racially-tinged trial like that of Kyle Rittenhouse, Americans increasingly root for their side the same way that they support their favorite sport team. These clown shows substitute for rolling up our sleeves to try to get rid of racism once and for all.

Yes Rall, people were definitely cheering like sports fans because "our team won" when Arbery's murderers were convicted. It wasn't because they were relieved that "Thank god this blatant murder was seen as what it was," they weren't grateful that our system isn't quite that far gone (yet), they were just celebrating because "WOOO my side good!"

it's actually fine when a racist murders people for racist reasons, because caring about it uses up precious resources that could otherwise be used for fighting racism all we have to do is save up enough monarch points to enact "no racism" but the fuckin scrubs keep burning them up on inconsequential matters like prosecuting murders or educating children or granting asylum

Hey I just realized it's December and I haven't seen a single IF GLOBAL WARMING WHY COLD cartoon yet. Weird. In completely unrelated news, it was nearly 70 degrees today and tomorrow is going to be setting near record highs for a lot of areas. Well, I'm sure it's no big deal, nothing to worry about. quote:We are seeing politicians relishing and abusing their new and illegitimate power. They delight in telling us all what to do with our own bodies. This is a hell of a thing to say with SCOTUS killing Roe v Wade in the near future, something which Ben completely supports.

Pope:  Labor announces 2030 emissions reductions target (SMH). Opposition leader Anthony Albanese speaking, it looks like the shadow climate change minister Chris Bowen is the rodent in the diagram. A quick AusPol explainer: climate change and energy policy has been one of the biggest factors in Australian elections for a decade ever since Tony Abbott demonised Labor's carbon pricing scheme as a "carbon tax", so Labor setting a firm 2030 target means it will be a major part of the upcoming election. Their target is calculated to fall short of the actual figure the science says we need but higher than the government's competing plan of doing gently caress all and hope market forces sort it out. But it's an actual climate target from Labor, Morrison is already out there saying how it's dangerous for all the coal regions, and I expect all the cartoonists will do their thing on this up to the election. Rowe:  There are a few cartoons on how 43 isn't a particularly round number. Warren Brown:  Leak, Son of Leak:  Moir:  All the current living PMs bar Julia Gillard continuously make comments on the current state of politics. Knight:  Melbourne police investigate alleged assault of Dymocks book shop worker by customer who refused to check in (ABC). "A Melbourne bookstore has hired professional security after a staff member working as a COVID-19 marshal was allegedly pushed down an escalator." In Victoria before entering a store you need to check in and present your vaccination status (and wear a mask). Leunig:
