They will probably steal the trophy from black race car driver Louis Hamilton again so they can give it to Sebastian Vettel, Aryan representing the vaterland in race car built by another axis power. drat racists. 22 drivers, 20 whites. F1 has the most racist grid of all the racists i bet, as befits the queen of motorsports.

It does feel like racism is back and bigger than ever. Well racism never went away but it does feel bigger than ever. The 'We Wuz Kangz' meme is a combination of some stuff Kanye said iirc doubled up on by the internet sub-culture called 'Hoteps' which is basically kind a weird black Alt-Right who claim that virtually every single thing that has ever happened or was invented in history is somehow the ownership of Black people + also that the Pyramids are/were space ships or something.

There's a guy at work who constantly feels the need to remind everyone that rap music was actually created by white people. Also blues and jazz. Also dreadlocks. Also everything else ever created.

Donald Trump was elected and their brains broke. Not necessarily in that order.

I used to think that liberals were crying wolf about opposition to Obama being motivated by racism but after watching my cousin's brain get progressively more damaged over 8 years I'm convinced there's a sizeable fraction of opposition that was just sheer racism and nothing more

My cousin went from an apolitical guy to screaming about "dopey big- eared Niggama" and "the monkey President"

For some reason I don't think he got all bent out of shape over Solyndra and every other minor scandal purely out of a civic interest in saving taxpayer's money

It's definitely tainted how I view Obama's critics, like I can't help but wonder how many of them go home and make similar rants to their families after hitting the sauce

Every weekend without fail there was some chucklefuck living near me that would roll out to the coast highway and cover his car with MICHELLE OBAMA IS A TRANNY MUSLIM TERRORIST signs and wave them at passersby.

Yeah they're just deranged. To be fair there are people on the left that are deranged, too. Kinda just what you get when you neglect your citizens' health (physical and mental) and education though obviously there will always be crazies.

That said Obama did a lot of bad poo poo and as far as presidents go I feel like he just continued most of the Bush era policies with some lip service to social equality.

At best you could say he helped prevent a total meltdown during the financial crisis. Of course the president doesn't really control the economy to nearly the degree people think so I don't really want to give him much credit for that.

Minorities and poor people didn't really benefit from having a black president as far as I can tell. Kinda just seemed like business as usual.

For the average person I'd say that's more or less true. At best it isn't worse than it was but things are definitely not improving. Varies by area of course but yeah significant parts of the country haven't really recovered from the financial crisis almost a decade ago.

I don't think Obama was solely the catalyst, though for some yeah prolly, but I'll be damned if the lack of media criticism and the not so subtle hints of "you're a racist" if you did criticize him didn't make a whole bunch of people just go "well gently caress it, I guess that word has no meaning anymore so sure whatevs"

The situation for LGBTs got a lot better. Though how much credit to give Obama for this is up for debate. I think Obama saw himself like FDR, who was willing to desegregate the arms industry but on the condition that A. Philip Randolph pushed him to do it. Not exactly profiles in courage there but it was progress of a kind. But it made sense. The point is to encourage a social movement to push the president into doing stuff.

Though I think the office of the presidency is basically, fundamentally incompatible with resolving social problems in a top-down manner.

Kinda interested to see what history's verdict will be in a decade or two.

If it wasn't for Katrina I wonder whether Obama would've been elected. The Republicans let a majority-black city drown. It's kinda distant but that was totally horrible and traumatic, and unlike 9/11 was 100 percent our own drat fault.

I'd agree with this but then again I think people really forget that Katrina was a one-two punch of biblical storm and infrastructure everyone knew was lacking

Bush hosed it up but I don't think any President would have handled it in a drastically better way, plus remember that Mayor Nagin was a complete loving idiot, too, and is currently serving a ten year sentence for a wide range of crimes lol

I've worked my fair share of blue-collar jobs and so many of the white guys were just casually, disgustingly racist. The black guys were too, only against the Hispanics. The Hispanics mostly didn't speak English so I can't really vouch for them other than hearing the occasional "gringo" or "culero" directed our way, but the ones who did speak English were mostly pretty cool and nice. The white guys and black guys always got along real well even though in private the white guys would say racist anti-black poo poo, but everyone was pretty passive-aggressively lovely to the Hispanic guys all the time, especially the exclusively Spanish-speaking ones.

I'm not really sure what point I'm making here, but this is my limited personal experience with race relations among the common folk of America.

I started a post about how weird racism gets with respect to hispanics but left to eat and then didn't want to finish it.

I'll just say that mexicans are generally super racist against black people and they even make fun of the shorter, darker mexicans from places like Oaxaca. My dad has gotten less racist over the years and most of his friends are black now lol. He also worked with those casually racist white guys most of his life and is good friends with a number of them too. He still makes the racist asian noises to the workers at the asian store he always goes to tho. :sigh:

Housing supply is part of it, but a lot of it has to do with the fact that the really desirable places to live which are also affordable are few and far between. Nobody wants to live in a mcmansion on a postage stamp sized lot out in the exurbs anymore, so the cities are getting flooded with new, relatively prosperous residents. Those new city dwellers with dual high-5/low-6 figure incomes are who developers are chasing right now.

Yeah and they're pushing out the locals who have lived there for years. It's bullshit. Destroying communities.

Aside from that the property values go up so all the landlords crank your rent year to year. It's happening so fast that they don't even want you on a 12 month lease anymore, 10 is preferred. At least where I am.

Seize these 1001 golf courses and put up some rent controlled housing people can actually afford.
