Lol, you posted a graph and then made non-statistical leaps in logic to make a loaded point.

Again, having a disdain for the actions of Israel doesn’t mean you hate them. Hell, there are white supremacists in the US that are extremely pro-Israel because they hate having Jews here and want them to go to their own country.

Well seeing as this is a poll of Americans that’s not relevant to this discussion.

There’s a difference between hating Israel and empathizing with Palestine.

I agree, it’s absolutely fucked. And like I already said, if you can make it being your true honest self then I endorse that. But for some people, they need to get their foot in the door first.

I mean, at past employers I did have to butch it up all the time to be successful. It really sucked.

Tired or after drinking the twang returns. Also if he talks to people from back home it will happen for a bit after he gets off the phone.

Totally fair, I’m not advocating people have to do it, if you can power through that prejudice being your total self I absolutely endorse that. I’m guilty of code switching in a way at work, I butch it up a bit so I don’t seem “too gay.” I don’t feel great about it, but honestly a lot of the time I do it without even…

Although delivered poorly, I don’t think it’s bad advice. Code switching has been necessary for a lot of people, even poorer rural white people. My husband had a strong Kentucky twang as a kid, but he forced himself to get rid of it in college because of the treatment he received from people when he spoke. It sucks (I…

To play devil’s advocate (and of course looking at this from a lens of a white person in 2017), his lack of a flaw and over achievement could be an example of trying to be the “model negro.” (gay men call it “the best boy in the world” phenomenon). That when you’re the only member of a minority (or one of a few) in…

Same thing happened to me in seventh grade Biology. My teacher apologized about teaching evolution and said “you can choose to believe it or not, but there will be a test on it.” This was in rural Illinois.

And your degree is in?

Yeah, they definitely aren’t famous being in the most popular Broadway show of the last two years.

Huh, I knew a bunch when I grew up in Chicago and that never seemed like a thing. Well there you go.

I also associate this with super WASP-y southerners, but Pence grew up Irish Catholic. I think it would be unlikely he learned this from his parents.

Yeah, it’s an antiquated southern tradition but you still hear it from time to time. What’s strange is, I would totally get this if Pence came from somewhere near Evansville, IN, but he’s from near-ish to Indianapolis.

And now the blue player has knocked the ball into his own net, his teammates don’t seem to approve of that. And the chat has been disabled.

Sadly, that narrative doesn’t work, I know plenty of young ones. It’d be much easier if the solution was just “wait for them to die off.”

It sounds like you’ve had some bad experiences, what unions have you been a part of and what has been your experience with them?

He’s awesome when he appears at RAGBRAI, always super chill and nice to folks.
