Hold on now. Racism exists whether you expect to find it or not. Racism exists whether it affects you or not. If you can’t see it on this damn cereal box you won’t see it anywhere. If the only tool you have is white supremacy, then every problem is minority-created.

Wow. Really wow. It must be so nice to have the privilege of not being affected by “mild vague racism.” Thanks, I’ll remember that the next time someone directs “mild vague racism” at me or my kid. I’ll say it’s okay because ArgieBargie says it doesn’t matter.

Do you “get it”? First of all, this is a completely clear example. I don’t know that you can have a clearer example.

I’ve never in my life heard of corn pops.

I understand that’s how you read it. That’s why my comment is that it didn’t seem that way to me.

I don’t think they were really trying to gin up outrage, especially since the product isn’t even directed at women. I think it was just a joke about kind of a silly product. This knee-jerk anti-outrage is as bad as the knee-jerk outrage y’all are always complaining about.

I understand what he stated. I don’t see why it matters whether she knew the character or not. He singled out a minority and chose to greet her with racism. Why is it less racist just because it was “in character”? He chose to get in that character. He wasn’t forced to at gunpoint. He chose to greet a minority as a…

“ If someone does an asshole thing, (this definitely qualifies) does that make them an asshole?”

I only use Facebook and it’s my name which I’m not giving you. I don’t understand why you still want it, though. Can you read? I literally just told you that I didn’t do what you asked if I did. Why do you need my name to prove what you wanted me to say even though what you wanted me to say proves nothing?

My comment was that I have no problem with what she did. That can’t be wrong, since I’m the only one who could possibly know what I do and don’t have a problem with. You clearly do have a problem with it, and that’s 100% your prerogative.

I understand the context. My comment still stands. It was done a year ago (and lol if you think that’s the first or last time Cross pulled some shit like that), but Charlene still feels the injury today. If she wants to air that grievance, she can air her damn grievance. It is not up to you to say when the statute of…

Progressives need to have their own reckoning with racism. I’ve heard nearly as much racism from so-called progressives as I have from the typical conservative. It’s just of a different type, and more likely to be waived away as humor or “I can say that because I have a Black friend” type of stuff. Progressives can be…

That’s above my pay grade, but if I were in Charlene’s place I’d like a sincere acknowledgment of my injury and an actual apology. As for the public, the market can deal with it as it always does.

*shrug* I’m okay with that. All David Cross had to do was say you know what I remember that and man that was racist as shit. I’m sorry, Charlene, I don’t know what I was thinking. And the whole thing would have been over. Let her air her grievances. Minorities are sick of having to carry this burden silently.

I mean, first of all, that joke was nowhere close to being “edgy.”

I don’t think it matters to parse the hairs of “is he a racist or not.” He did a racist thing. That needs to be dealt with.

What does this mean? Someone can do any manner of heinous racist things and as long as they aren’t criminal they should be kept quiet?

Meh, I have no problem calling people out publicly for racist behavior.

Probably true.

Oh really? That sucks.
