And now the same hypocritical crapstains who created this situation have the nerve to call for ‘peaceful protests’ after ridiculing, blacklisting, gaslighting, and ignoring *exactly* that for decades. Well, a-holes, you reap what you sow. You told the entire POC community that peaceful protests were a joke, so now you…

How about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre? White supremacists and the National Guard working together to destroy more than 35 square blocks of Black Wall Street, killing an estimated 200-300 black people and injuring countless more, just because they couldn't stand to see POC becoming more successful than white folks. I…

The people in the streets protesting, and even destroying things, have not broken the social contract. The contract was broken long before they started fighting back. Civil disobedience didn’t prevent a man from being choked to death on a city street in broad daylight with people watching and recording the entire…

The saddest part is how many murdered Black people and uprisings didn’t even make this list.

WORD. You are illuminating the historical thinking concept of periodization. Where we choose to begin a narrative matters. Those who intentionally start the story with fire and attacks on the third precinct want to make invisible the narrative of how we got here. Their intention is to cast ALL protestors as lawless…

Michael wouldn’t be able to post the article in the next 100 years if he factored in all of the injustice. That said, he knows what he’s doing and I doubt very much he wasn’t thinking of those events he left out.

I read your post as ‘dude you didn’t even get the highlight reel complete’. To be fair, he would still be writing this tomorrow night if he covered all the significant racist US milestones.

It’s risky to engage but w/E, I’m only halfway through my coffee so fuck it; here’s hoping you’re interested and not just feeling like slinging vitriol

Disney is woke enough to include people of colour, but not woke enough to include mixed-race relationships.

The shabby treatment of Finn has been unforgivable. Guy shoulda been a romantic lead.

Is that sarcasm? Most of us love Star Wars despite the iffy writing, not because if it.

I like Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver a lot, so I assume this trilogy is still better than Lucas’s plan to make the third trilogy about the little creatures that live inside midichlorians.

Support thread for folks who found both Force Awakens and TLJ boring and realized you’ll never love Star Wars as much as you did as a child and that’s ok

Your point about these characters only knowing each other for a few weeks just makes me think about how great Rogue One is. All those characters barely knew each other and yet their belief in standing up against the Empire sharpened them into the only weakness the Empire’s great weapon could possibly have. You feel…

Can’t imagine what you mean, he didn’t say a word about Rogue One.

Dammit, you chucklefuck, your intentions were perfectly clear. You wanted to hurt and embarrass a total stranger because some stray gross impulse darted across your lizard brain and being a white male, you never even thought to resist or question it. You honestly expected her to find that funny or at least “laugh it…

Lettuce is gross and pointless anyway. I will not be taking further questions.

I think I may have relayed this story to you at the Jalopnik meet-up in Austin, but I once owned a pink car. The problem was, on account of being colorblind, I didn’t know it for three months.

The original Nazis, of course, were pretty fucking clean cut.

Digital!  HA!
