I’m sorry you feel that way, because that’s not how you win the battle against racists (or bullies in general, for that matter) at all.

You win the battle against bigots by finding a strong moral center in yourself and fighting for what you believe in.

You’re absolutely right; it is beyond any and all reasonable doubt that Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Huey P. Newton, and all of the other greatest civil rights leaders who had the most effective impact on race relations in the country that fathered blackface fought racism simply by ignoring it. It couldn’t possibly…

“Someone’s expressing frustration due to the sins of the ruling class! I’m entitled to you paying attention to me instead of the systemic injustice that makes blackface so much worse because my feelings have a boo-boo!”

Except no, Japan is well-aware of what blackface is and how inexcusable it is (If you read the article, there was clear example of something being pulled in the past for that precise reason). Your argument becomes even shakier when this is from an overseas branch of an American company promoting an American movie.…

“These things are more recognized and widely acknowledged and have more of an immediate material effect, so they get more ‘racism’ points. This thing is still offending a lot of people due to its willful ignorance of historical context and thus contributing to systemic injustice, but since it isn’t as obvious I’m…

Thank you, O High Unwavering Authority on What Is and Isn’t Racism and What Is and Isn’t Offensive and Insensitive to Everyone.

I’m glad we have you here to arbitrate what is and isn’t “real” racism.

I’ll gladly consider any strong example of blackface that has beyond any reasonable doubt not offended any individual of an oppressed, privileged, or marginalized group if you can provide it.

No it isn’t. A KKK splinter group could suddenly break off and proclaim that they “no longer support” racism and that they now exist to “help non-white individuals out,” and they could be totally honest and sincere, but it wouldn’t mean anything at all if they still called themselves the KKK and used KKK imagery.…

Whatever that guy’s intent may have been, intent is irrelevant when we are dealing with complex social interactions with a basis in history. If people are outraged, they have good reason to be, and it’s more productive to listen to them than to lecture them on how this isn’t “actual blackface” (With “actual blackface”…

The West doesn’t have a long and painful history of the ruling class mocking white people via whiteface.

Geez, and this is directed at no one in particular, but some of the comments in this thread sure do reek of insecure dudebro-ery.

Looks like they "iced" this penguin game. I'm sure that'll ruffle some feathers!

Sweet. Admittedly, I only pre-ordered this game for the Final Fantasy XV demo, but it's nice that the main attraction is supposed to be decent. :)

The grooviest duo in the galaxy have finally returned. I k-knew they would... #funkynostalgiatears

Dynamite Headdy - 1994 - Sega Genesis

Ducktales—inspired by the brilliant comics work of legendary comics artist Carl Barks—was the source material for one of the most beloved platformers of all time and the enthusiastic response to last year's announcement of Ducktales Remastered might have been one of the things that helped tip the odds in favor of a…

Food colouring or mold? Life isn't always so clear...

So much green.

Triple Triad is back. Looks like it's time to D-D-D-D-DUEL!
