Koalas March posted:Go ahead and ask about racism in the gay community. Seriously. please. I am gay, friend. I'm constantly, unpleasantly aware of the racism and other animus in the community. My only question was whether the assertion that white gays went for trump in aggregate had polling data to support it.

Ugh. I'd say juries should be required to be roughly representative of the racial makeup of their community but that's a crude easily twisted system, and doesn't help in the most lily-white places in America. Honestly though this kind of bullshit is built into the system from the outset. Jury nullification was an implicit right of the people under the colonial system; it was thought that the townsfolk would be able to tell if the agents of the crown were making up bullshit about their neighbor. Which does work-- but only if you explicitly don't care about the people shunned by their neighbors for their gender or race or poverty or religion. That's how we got the Salem witch trials, and it's how we got Zimmerman. They're inseparable.

negromancer posted:The jury took 24 minutes to find Treloar not guilty. When the verdict was announced, the defense lawyer joked "Why that jury knew that you can't kill a friend of the family by hitting him on the head. You gotta hit him on the heel!". Treloar walked to the evidence stand, pocketed his blackjack, and said "Now, by God, I can get back to rounding up bootleggers and niggers". Daniels's wife and children left the state shortly after the trial. Treloar remained a respected member of the community up to his death in 2006. One of the few bits of progress that's been made since then is that people would actually call you racist if you came right out and admitted it like that these days. Of course, as a result, all the racists have learned not to come right out and admit it like that these days. Pretend I copy-pasted Lee Atwater here if you like.

blackguy32 posted:In other news, New Balance seems to be scrambling to try to cover up repair their image after a white supremacist group claimed them to be the shoes of white people. Ahaha what. On what basis? Are they just going around and anointing things the Official X Of White People? The official cereal rice krispies? The official soda Diet Coke? The official outerwear brand L L Bean?

I've been copy-pasting "there's no actual evidence the perpetrators had anything to do with BLM (a group so decentralized and nebulous that anyone can claim to be a part of it) or that the victim had anything to do with Trump" a lot.

negromancer posted:Of course they had nothing to do with BLM. Like...I'm not even sure how one assumes they do. I mean, by that logic can I assume every white person is in the KKK until otherwise proven?  I dunno, man, usually the news has gone through a half dozen reblogs and shares on social media by the time one of my friends gets ahold of it, god knows what racist poo poo happened upstream (lots of it is a safe assumption).
