Sooooo.... your counterpoint to racial violence perpetuated by the klan and neo-nazis, not to mention actual, third Reich nazis, over decades is “Yeah, but some white guys got beaten up three times”?

Minorities don’t have that whole Institutional Racism thing to back them up though. That’s kind of the point. To keep the playing field uneven. If some Mexican guy hates my guts because I’m white, that means fuck all to me. It doesn’t affect my life in a meaningful way. But when generations of white folks hate black…

To all pedophiles: STOP BEING CREEPY ASSHOLES!

But... but... MOVIES!

I understood what you were saying, I just think that what you were saying is pretty asinine. Looking at the legacy of racism, violence and hatred in this country, and then pointing out the historically few (And some would argue statistically insignificant) instances where white folks were the victims is “silly”.

Context is pretty fucking important. In this case, that context is HISTORY. Comparing some racist “troll” getting roughed up to say, I don’t know, black civil rights activists being assaulted, jailed and killed for marching is ridiculous. The playing field is not level, the rules are not the same, and historical…

Much better.

Do it. I started building Gundam kits a year or two back, and it’s pretty great.

The problem is that “well hung black guy” means to VERY different things depending on which flag you’re waving. Other than that, I can see the confusion.

Nope

Since when do nazis just go away because people ignored them?

Let’s stop using terms like “in all fairness” when we’re describing neo-nazis, white supremacists, fascists and terrorists. I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a good look.

I totally forgot about the roving mobs of Black Lives Matter protesters preying on whites, hispanics and asians. It’s a good thing this country fought two different wars to stop the black supremacy menace. Apparently the work isn’t over!

THANK YOU.

“We all salute the same great flag”

I’m fine with letting these guys sort their differences out by punching each other in the face.

Terry Gross is amazing. Thanks for posting this. At this point, I’ve lost track of how many new things I’ve been exposed to because of Fresh Air. I’m glad she’s coming out from behind the mic more often. Her spot on Marc Maron’s WTF was great.

Anna Paquin.

This. Also, congratulations!

That’s awesome.
