This is the sort of shit that Trump’s base loves. It won’t matter what stupid shit Trump does or says. As long as he kicks out non-white immigrants, the alt-right will support him to the end.

Fuck ICE. Fuck everyone involved in this. Fuck Trump, fuck everyone who voted for him, and fuck anyone who is still supporting him. Fuck his whole disgusting family, and fuck every bloated white over-privileged person who somehow thinks this administration will benefit him.

The artist herself has never offered the Till painting for sale and maintains that it never will be. Which kind of mitigates the profiteering angle.

In a statement provided by the Whitney, Schutz insisted that she had no such intentions. “I made this painting to engage with the loss,” she said. “It was never for sale and never will be.”

Fuck them, who cares?

*shrug* Anyone can tell any story in any medium they like.

The first work of art was pretty tone-deaf...but it’s also pretty tone-deaf to say that this is “not about censorship” when you are explicitly asking for someone to be censored and blacklisted.

The Emmett TILL painting was already removed. They want her other unrelated works taken down. Which is silly. I agree that the open casket piece required the protest it got, but her misstep doesn’t require permanent blacklisting of everything else she paints.

The “many very cute girls” is a dead giveaway.

You do realize slavery still exists today? I’m not just talking about religious groups bringing in slaves to build their compounds in North Carolina, but on a mass scale in Saudia Arabia, Uzbekistan, India and China. There are more slaves today than existed in the 1800s. In Uzebekistan they are literally used for…

You’re completely right, you need only look at de Tocqueville’s descriptions of the country on both sides of the Ohio back in 1831 to see the starkness of the issue: “[t]he banks of the Ohio River provided the final demonstration ... [that] time and again, in general, the colony that had no slaves was more populous…

You need mental help. There’s nothing wrong with an alt history show. You don’t even know anything about the show you’re calling racist and criticizing like it is personally attacking you. All you’re doing is exploiting stupid black people that would be simple minded enough to read this site so you can make a profit…

There are historical and economic arguments that, around the Civil War, slavery was no longer as profitable as it once was, and that the main appeal was the status of owning another person. Take that for what it is worth, which is much.

Sorry. I’m not convinced the economics of white greed work out in this case. Again, this isn’t the most pressing concern related to this show, but a few pieces of farming equipment are going to be much cheaper in the long run than an entire stable of slaves, whether you treat them poorly or not. If you treat them…

Just think of them as Mexicans we don’t pay $2 an hour.

I’m confused by the notion of this show. Now, obviously this won’t be the most important issue related to the show, but I really wonder what sort of justification they’re going to give for slavery to survive the Industrial Revolution, and other technological advances. I mean, owning a bunch of human beings that have…

A $2 million fine for Exxon sounds like a rounding error’s rounding error

They’re fucking with us and loving it because it makes us look like fools unable to lead the free world, which, with our current choice of leader, I can’t really disagree with.

I’m not going to defend Spicer’s choices, but he was visibly uncomfortable since day 1 and it wouldn’t shock me to learn that he signed on thinking that the administration would fall into line with general behavioral norms once in office, which was a stunning but common delusion. He was one of the few people there who…

Spicer was entertaining because, at times, you could see he was embarrassed to tell the lies he was required. He almost looked like he wanted to apologize and say “I can’t believe I’m saying this bullshit either.”
