Very much a “Born in the USA” is a super-patriotic song kind of guy, I imagine.

Kanye and Nas are leaders in the black community? Are Ted Nugent and Kenny Chesney leaders in white community? Fuck outa here with that bullshit.

Can someone find teenage me and tell them everyone I loved and admired in hip-hop is a garbage human?

I mean, the fandroids knew, but we respected her right to not answer that question in interviews. Glad she is officially out though, and that it’s her choice (unlike some celebrities who get outed by jerk reporters)!

We are a country addicted to nostalgia, but with no regard for history.

We are a country addicted to nostalgia, but with no regard for history. Nostalgia is history without moral reckoning; it keeps people pining for golden eras that never existed and anticipating a future that will never materialize.

“Racism isn’t politics.”

No, and I have gone to battle many times along these lines.

The red hats are modern day white hoods. This is a generous take on the issue, and I admire it. I know how much I have internalized patriarchal and even some white supremacist thinking, and it’s taken a looooong time and a lot of work to see it and try to correct it. Still, I’m disgusted by anyone expressing support…

Also Washington.

Seems like Dodge is doing well with the Challenger/ Charger models, maybe Ford should follow suit and build a 4 door sports sedan on the mustang platform?

Yup. In Atlanta the white-flighters have made it to damn near Chattanooga as PoC continue their move into the suburbs. Talking people willingly driving 90 minutes both ways to get to work because “reasons.”

M’Baku (or, as my five-yr-old called him, “Mr. Woof”) was SO GOOD. More roles for Winston Duke, please!

Most would also tune the VTEC engagement to kick in at 3600 rpm while raising the cutoff.......

11. If you see a cop within 50 yards of me, start videotape that shit. I want a record of the action from the time he notices me minding my own business to the time he/she and the other three cops who arrive on the scene finish with me. Also, occasionally say “This is a white person taping this outrage” so that people…

Had a Berliner Black 2000 S2000 (934th AP1 made) and it was a noisy, fast delight. Yep, torque was not it’s strong suite, but you could redline at 8500 +/- in first, and tap 9000 from there on up and it would flat out deafen you with VTEC scream into 6th. O-60 = 5 seconds. Wanted to bite you in the wet, impossible…

I understand that the AP2 is empirically better. The same is true for the new Porsche 982's with their turbo 4-bangers over the previous 6's.

It was really only 800 rpm difference. The AP2 is faster with the slight bump in torque.
