Republicans are holding on through voter ID laws, gerrymandering, and good ol' fashioned racism and spite.

And a ton of mostly young white guys were absolutely flabbergasted by this. They don't realize that we had been jokingly calling Bill the first black POTUS for years or that he and Hillary are generally well-regarded in our community. Just because they hadn't heard about it, it didn't exist.

But, you see, Hillary called all black people superpredators. It's right there in an out of context quote!

A lot of white guys reacted very poorly to it or learned the wrong lesson from it. Stone Cold made a great point in the other thread about how instead of trying to rope in many of the minorities that didn't/couldn't vote. People are doubling down hard on how they can pick up the White working class voters that went for Trump

People don't seem to get understand the idea that someone would rather lose everything than pander to racists.

We like shows with racism as long as there's a magical white man we can latch on to who is totally not racist and that's us it has to be us.

We all like to imagine we would be Forrest Gump who handed that lady her books instead of the people screaming at her. But we would be screaming.

That's 100% fair, and I really don't want to defend this guy any further, so I'll go back to just reading posts.

That's the messed up thing is that saying "dude, that's racist" is literally the least we can do and still a bunch of people will not only refuse to do that but will defend people saying that racist poo poo.

Equating melaninated skin with dirt infuriates me. One of my earliest memories is a little white girl I went to school with asking me "why don't you wash?"

From like kindergarten until 4th grade when we moved my best friend was black and I remember when I first met him asking him why his palms were white because at that age you don't know that's not ok to ask. He told me it was because he washing the blackness off his hands and when he grows up he'll be all white. It wasn't until I was an adult I thought back on it and realized just how messed up that was. Like, who told that kid that?

At what point during cop school do they explain how dash cams work, exactly? Are they aware that they are equipped with audio recording equipment? I just can't believe someone who is given a gun, taser, pepper spray, and a car by the municipality isn't also told "Hey, if you are standing in front of your car, it can hear you."

They learn all that, then they learn their actions don't have consequences so they just do what they want.

I've probably talked about Dwayne McDuffie in this thread before but he created Static Shock and is a legend in comics. He passed way too soon.

Here's a letter he wrote to Marvel:



And here he is writing what was supposed to be the first black superhero to headline his own comic, the Black Bomber. It was nixed when the person who wrote the real first black solo superhero, Black Lightning, asked "do you really want your first black superhero to be a white bigot?"



The bottom middle panel he's supposed to be asking Vixen if he can use the N-word but DC edited that out.

Justice league bothered me because they only had one really strong female character (Hawkgirl), and she turned out to be a spy for the evil bird empire and got replaced with Supergirl ("tee hee, I'm a superhero!":j:), while Wonder Woman spent her whole time talking about how dreamy Superman is. First two seasons are good though.

Hawkgirl's return episode was one of the best of the series. Didn't really like the Hawkgirl/John/Vixen triangle but whatever. Wonder Woman was more into Batman and never really talked about how dreamy he was. This scene was good though:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LemY3KuQs-M Wonder Woman ain't give a gently caress she's gettin' that dude.

Thinking about it the episode where the team visits the old JSA analogue and their Flash tells John "you're a credit to your people, son" is such a McDuffie line.

Here I thought I was maximum whiteness but drat not even a jar of lovely Kraft barbecue sauce on some ribs?

And there's some people that will boil ribs a little because it softens them up for the grill. Usually you put, like, spice in the water to make it more of a broth you're boiling it in. Boiled chicken is just... what is that?

Edit: Also a tip if you decide to bring your super white friend along with your super white self to a barbecue with POC, make sure he won't suddenly drop into every bit of slang he heard on the radio that he never uses in any other place.

And the Korean lady that owns the convenience store I go to is having a charity barbecue that I'm super hyped for. I've ordered a plate of everything already.

Edit 2:

I've heard of it, it's a salad after all. You just kind of toss stuff in there and see what tastes good.

I'll Boil chicken out of sheer laziness if I'm going to be shredding it for like a chicken salad or something. Boil them in some salt water.

See if I'm feeling lazy I'll just toss it in the slow cooker.

I did know a guy who was SUPER paranoid about bacteria that would toss ground beef patties in boiling water for a minute before grilling them so he could make sure there was nothing in there.

Didn't they make a big thing about Cartman being an rear end in a top hat while in the background Stan was legitimately having confused thoughts about gender?

The last game was good. Hopefully this one will be too. They can miss the mark mostly but sometimes they land it so well like they did with the George Zimmerman episode.

The worst thing South Park ever did was make Cartman right about anything ever. In the beginning he was saying reprehensible things but he always lost. When he stopped getting his comeuppance for being a horrible piece of poo poo was when the show started going downhill quick.

It's the Archie Bunker thing all over again where people don't realize they're not supposed to identify with the racist.

Blade is an incredibly complicated person.

And you don't fight with him. Even when there's a big misunderstanding and you're just a necromancer that wants to keep your small town alive and everyone is happy there.
