You know how theres always some enormously awkward catastrophe that kills whatever topical slang or move of an era, like how miley cyrus buried twerking and your dad ruined fo shizzle

Hamilton is looking to succeed where Macklemore failed, and kill rap as a popular genre for good

Things can be Good Politics but also be really bad

The Goode Family satirized granola yuppies but it was still unnervingly cynical and unfun

Racism is not a binary thing.

I think one the problems in popular discourse is that some people are aware of massive research projects like Project Implicit that have demonstrated things like unconscious cognitive bias and can see things like bad policy pretty clearly but are not good at articulating to people who are not aware of such research what is going on.

This sort of research shows that almost all of us have cognitive bias against black people to varying degrees, even black people themselves. It's not through any fault of our own it's a function of growing up in a country with historical baggage.

The actual number of raving hate-filled racists is pretty small but a lot of the source of modern racial problems comes from lack of awareness of bias.

EDIT: Here's a link to project implicit you can take tests and stuff to see for yourself. Even the most consciously tolerant people tend to have some level of implicit bias that shows up on the tests.

It turns out America was founded by complete assholes who, over the past two centuries, have slowly been morphed (by an astoundingly stupid populace and a predatory regime) into semi-mythological titans of brilliance and purity. All with the goal of crafting a national psychosis of extreme patriotism. Who knew?

Hamilton won a pulitzer? Jesus christ.

By the way Captain Dan was a goon. Truly a low period in SA's life.

Are you kidding, the mid-00s were the best period on SA

I'l agree but only if you skip Lehorobot's period until he got helldumped, and Captain Dan until Satellite High made a diss track
