You're the last person, aside from Chappelle, I would expect to ask that we give that blatantly racist piece of garbage 'a chance'. Bannon wasn't the one who just got on stage and defended literal Nazis yet again today at the AZ rally.

Also, welcome back TB

I'm pretty much at the point where "confederate/lost cause"/Nazi/"Alt-Right" falls under the same umbrella.

If someone stands with or otherwise supports Nazis that is pretty much a one way ticket to "gently caress that person forever".

What is really hosed up is it took literal Nazi rallies to prompt the removal of Confederate monuments to slavery.

I don't believe it's about giving him a chance. It's about seeing what strange new manners his racism manifests in now that he's working with a different kind of racist.

Fluffdaddy posted:

The problem is that alt right is a term they came up with to distance themselves from racist groups with more incendiary names. It is meant as a softener for their racism.

Well... I guess there's not gonna be no welcome back cookout after all, if you gonna decide you need to get all up in your feelin's and poo poo.

Y'all can still have the dino av I drew for you while you was gone as a welcome back present tho



And the welcome back was, in fact sincere, whether you like it or not.

I didn't think you were a Trump supporter, but it felt uncomfortably like you were implying things might get better now that wannabe ringwraith Bannon is out, and I just couldn't stay silent on that.

Like I said before, you're one of my fav posters 'cause you ain't afraid to speak out on what you feel is right, and you stay pushing back against fuckshit, and that's an admirable trait to me (even if I do sometimes catch the wrath).

I think errybody done left for the club, but there's still some fried catfish and a couple bottles of Dos Equis if you still down.

The nice thing about Spanish is the pronunciation rarely changes unlike English. So it's simply "Dose Eh-keys" When your in a hurry/drunk you can mash it all together in a quick "doe-seh-keys" and still be fine.

I remain unconvinced of the criticism of Cory Booker. I think he is a strong candidate with liberal views. All of the critiques I have seen of him have been wishy washy guilt by association poo poo with a heaping topping of inferring that he is in bed with Wall Streets because of campaign donations. I find the argument similar to the bullshit argument about how Obama shouldn't take speaking fees because reasons.

I am still trying to get my hair completely on lock. I moved to a new area and the stylists here all seem to cater to other minority groups with really straight hair. I have a routine that sort of works but involves am excessive amount of Lush products and I can't help but feel my hair could be way better if I could find a stylist who knew anything about mixed hair.

I had this idea for a while when everyone seemed to really liked talking medieval paintings, I thought maybe people would be interested in modern art as well? First artist I would like to talk about is Kerry James Marshall, he was actually just featured in Art Forum in January of this year. His artwork sometimes integrates other modern art movements (such as De Stijl, and Minimalism), and at the same time explicitly about Black Culture, and history. A lot of his paintings feature Red, Black and Green which are the colors of the stripes on the Pan-African Flag.

So I quit drinking recently, and am going through some stuff, and I had a question for a friend, but to make things easy, let's just use me as an example.

I lie about the internet about my race, because when people find out I'm half white + see a picture of me, they either A.) Assume I'm lying, or B.) get really weird and racist.

I don't know why I came out the way I did, but I (my friend) was raised in a black community, was adopted by black parents, and lived a for lack of a better word, black life.

Is it wrong to just go by being white for as long as I can pass? It makes my life easier, and it doesn't matter to my foster mom, and if I was white raised by her I'd still be white, and for all purposes of racist / oppression I'm white. So is it a super big deal for me to just keep telling people I'm white?

I'm unsure what black has to do with it, but thank you for the explanation. Seriously, that's good to see.

PathAsc posted:

Yes, you're right, no one may come into a thread and discuss what has happened. And sure, it's the black thread, but I'm wrong to ask about things that come off as defensive? How is asking for clarification on a statement a bad thing? No I don't post on here, but I try to read every once in a while because I feel there's good discussions to see.

I was stuck in a horrible amount of traffic right after the eclipse and it took me 3 hours to move ten miles on an interstate, and that was in good driving conditions and without people fleeing from an oncoming natural disaster. Evacuating a modern city, especially one the size of Houston (#5 in the US?) would make the traffic I had to deal with look like a pleasant summer drive. Also I think when they evacuated Houston before (Rita?) quite a number of people died during the evacuation because of the horrible traffic.

And even by some miracle you could magically evacuate anyone that's only the first thing. Where do they go? Most people don't have the financial security to afford being away from a paying job for a week, let alone having to live on what little they could pack.

The 'Why didn't they evacuate' is probably one of the worst examples of 'Smugthought' regarding these things, just slightly under the 'maybe they shouldn't have lived where there are hurricanes' bit of genius insight.

Also GBS is pretty much stormfront lite these days.

....there is a record of who buys these things right?

I always figured that there should be a double edged effect to buying Avs like that. If you correctly guess who it was that you made angry enough to drop $10 to try and hang an albatross on your neck, then that person eats a ban.

Like, you get one guess (or maybe more depending on just how "not mad" you made them) and have to contact a mod to verify.

And maybe just a little bit of oversight for crazy toxic poo poo like TB's right now, like holy poo poo. Just eat a ban off the bat for paying for something like that.

I'm glad we can all just come together and agree that this av is clearly a false flag because SomethingAwful doesn't have any racial issues and any perception that posters who aren't white men are moderated or treated differently is entirely inside the minds of those posters.

You don't hear this enough TB, but you're awesome. Even when I disagree with your posts or points, I'm enlightened and expanded by your perspective. Which I'm pretty sure is the most rare phenomenon on the internet.

Last friday I went out with a coworker and met his sister who told me it was ok to say the n word because her best friend is black and said she couls, but not the best friend that she had introduced me to earlier. The other friend who wasn't there at the time. She then said it was all good since her dad was a white n-word so she undstands it.

Then she told me the confederate flag was about being a rebel.

We had a very long discussion about why this is all hosed up and wrong.

Here in Brazil it's completely normal to only move out of your house when you marry. I got married this year at 31 and my house is the second house my wife has ever lived in.

I always thought that barring family problems (which was my reason to move out), it makes no sense not to live and contribute to your parent's house as an adult until you're perfectly able to move out on your own terms. The parents get their ROI from child rearing early by having some bills paid and the kids can afford to save money for more important things and emergencies.

It's very stupid to kick your kids out at 18 and still pay everything for them. What's the point? No one can afford that bullshit in third world countries.

It's also fun to see how countries that work like this have an abundance of love hotels compared to the US.

Since the other thread was closed I guess I will go back to updating everyone in this thread.

I found a place to live at the end of the month! I've got the deposit in already but I am still short of the rent.

Today is my birthday! I never thought I'd be bringing in my year stuck in a hotel with my dog.

So I am still looking for whatever help I can at my paypal . About 800 short of my target, which hopefully I will be able to cover most of myself.
