I don't know if this was posted in the other thread or not, but the San Diego Union Tribune has endorsed Hillary Clinton, after never endorsing a Democrat in its 148 year history.

Once Donald Trump goes down in flames, I expect Republicans to realize that they cannot win solely on a platform of racism and hate, and I fully expect them to nominate David Duke in 2020 anyways.

Roland Jones posted:It's probably in large part because she's not entirely FYGM and, requiring insulin herself and having a diabetic grandchild (not me), can sympathize quite a bit here, but still. As long as you can show them how it benefits them and don't call it socialism (or at least don't until after you've convinced them), Republicans can be pretty open to it in a lot of ways. Supporting liberal policies because they benefit you personally is still FYGM.

Night10194 posted:Also, don't forget: In the environment Farage is used to you can completely ignore the minority vote and stick to only appealing to whites because England is 90% white, compared to America. I'm pretty sure the Trump campaign is under the impression that Ohio is worth 250 EVs.

VH4Ever posted:This shouldn't turn into a full derail probably but if I were a pro-Brexit voter I would feel more than a little strange for how those two guys basically pushed this through by using white fear of immigrants to squeak by and make Brexit a reality that Britain now has to deal with and then both basically stepped down and ceased being a part of what comes next. Really, you vehemently want Britain to go it alone, but drop out of politics now that the actual work of making that so is about to begin? Did you truly want this result or were you just demagoguing and hoping to continue to be an obstructionist oval office when it failed, then had no plan B when it didn't fail? I doubt very seriously that the genuine Brexit voters (i.e. not the morons who voted for it "as a protest vote") are capable of this kind of critical thinking.

Nessus posted:Yeah? I'd heard like 33%, but I expect the gap could adequately be explained by counting a slice of the Hispanic population in a different way. A decent number of Hispanics are also white so uh let's just say it's complicated. The US is about 60% white if you only count whites that are not Hispanic.

Oh dear me posted:From a European perspective it actually seems strange that you don't consider Hispanic people white, Spain is right here and everything. We don't have Hispanic as a category on our census questions in the UK, 'Other white' would be the natural category. The American perspective for a long time was that the Irish weren't white.

computer parts posted:No, that was the British perspective. The Americans who did that tended to be new British immigrants. Yeah I suppose that might be true. I've only really been exposed to the American side of hating the Irish. I've never really heard that the British specifically considered the Irish "non-white" but after doing some research I have found references to them being called "white negroes" so I don't know. Can't really find a great source that discusses it. Josef bugman posted:It's always one of my favorite stories of during the Qing dynasty over in China there was a general who had served under them who was "han" but he asked if they could change his race so that he and his heirs didn't have to pay as much tax. The Emperor himself went "Sure, why not!" and just changed it. It's absolutely brilliant to see how race is little more than a concept at certain points. Which is just another added layer of stupidity to so-called "race realists." "Our racism is scientific guys, we swear! There are totally objective racial groups!  "

Grundulum posted:Speaking of irresponsible, the only mention of Farage's current ties to the Trump campaign is a single article on the Guardian that is a flat denial of involvement? At least wait until he's made the flight across the Atlantic before coming to that conclusion, or for another source to pick up the story. That's a revision. The original article stated that he had already made the flight.

Apraxin posted:See also Roldan v. Los Angeles, where the state of California spent years trying to prove Filipinos were 'of the Mongoloid race' rather than 'the Malay race' because a Filipino man and a white lady wanted to get married, and interbreeding with 'Mongoloids', specifically, was unacceptable. Sometimes I hate America.

Pirate Radar posted:Well if you're very reductionist--and after all it's easy to be very reductionist--then it's censorship, and censorship is supposed to be Bad, so therefore this is bad. It's not hard to see it from either perspective. This is by far the most annoying pervasive opinion on Reddit. Like I don't think anybody really noticed but I posted an article in the last thread about an rear end in a top hat who dressed up in a gorilla suit and passed out bananas tied with nooses to members of a Black Lives Matter rally and got arrested for it. Reddit's hot take? "Doesn't he have first amendment rights? "edit: In case anyone's interested in the article. lozzle fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Oct 1, 2016 |

Paradoxish posted:You guys are being really unfair to this article, or just not reading the whole thing, or... I don't know what, exactly. "The people complaining about "false balance" usually seem confident in having discovered the truth of things for themselves, despite the media's supposed incompetence. They're quite sure of whom to vote for and why. Their complaints are really about the impact that "false balance" coverage might have on other, lesser humans, with weaker minds than theirs. Which is not just snobbish, but laughably snobbish. So, shut up." Yeah no this poo poo is dumb and the author of it is dumb.

Well uh it they have merit then maybe their motivation is actually that it's loving true.
