Casimir Radon posted:What worries me is that stories about race based bullying being all the rage these days keeps coming up on the news. Yesterday a work friend was writing a letter to a school sports league because he'd been a game over the weekend where students from the rival school had been making monkey noises at their players. That kind of poo poo wouldn't have happened when I was in high school, mind you I went to public school and not some lovely prep school. Pewdiepie's core demographic reaching adulthood concerns me a bit. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...hem-coach-says/ quote:Youth football coach Marcus Burkley knew there would be backlash if his players knelt during the national anthem. He just never thought it would be this severe.

Authoritarian brained shitheads think everyone has a natural place and stepping out of it is “corrupt,” hence going apeshit over a black president or a black man expressing political opinions by kneeling during the flag song. Also why they keep yelling about how trump is giving black people jobs despite most of those jobs being total poo poo. White people cant become a minority fast enough

FMguru posted:A blog I read posted a review of a book (Jonathan M. Metzl, Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America’s Heartland) that sounds like it hits on every point this thread has ever made. Here's the near-complete text of the review: I read this book a few months back and it’s fantastic and perfectly encapsulates the American sickness.

One of the people in Dying of Whiteness is a taxi driver in his forties who is literally dying of liver failure while he drives his cab, and says he’s fine with dying as long as Mexicans don’t get a dime of his money.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:I remember the last Republican Jesus, some twerp by the name of George W. Bush. I remember how in 2004 he thought he was invincible too, and he was going to take his 'mandate' and run with it and nothing was ever, ever going to stop him as well. And then Katrina happened, and then the bottom fell out, and not only did he lose 2006 but he also got the first black president elected and now is pretty much persona non grata despite three or so attempts to clean up his legacy occurred. and he also managed to cause immense damage to american democracy that we've yet to recover from

Philthy posted:Yeah, Calling yourself an independent or Libertarian became the norm because people were embarrassed by Bush. His only claim to fame was a huge bump of 9/11 and rallying the nation to go kill people which apparently people really really like to do indirectly. Without 9/11 I'm not even sure if he would have beat Kerry in 2004 for his second term. A lot of Republicans held their noses for that election. He makes people they don’t like upset. That’s really it.

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:https://twitter.com/JulieZauzmer/status/1239202486147219456 The best thing about this is that more rural, poorer areas where people rarely travel are less likely to be impacted by the virus, at least initially. So they're going to take spitting in each other's mouths and licking the floor as evidence that the virus doesn't exist when no one visits Possum Scrotum, AR to spread it to them.

Frank Luntz led a Republican town hall in AL where multiple voters said they’d rather vote for a pedophile than a Democrat. If that wasn’t enough for him to reconsider and find a new job, nothing is.
