Again, whether or not they are homeless does not matter. It does not change anything else that I wrote. The “joke” doesn’t magically become funny because they were simply desperately poor instead of desperately poor and homeless.

I have a hard time believing that you find race-based observational humor from comedians of color to be “safe” and “boring.” They’re definitely punching up.

What point are you trying to make, exactly? The entire point of my post is that it’s not funny; whether or not they’re homeless doesn’t change the fact that it’s not a good joke.

Yeah. Unfortunately, that is a very good point. Although, Adele has won so many awards at this point, I don’t think she cares about winning more. And the music industry would be silly to “punish” her since, at the end of the day, she will still make them a lot of money.

Exactly. How is having homeless people hold up antisemitic signs funny? Even if you’re a neo-nazi piece of garbage, jokes like that have to be super old by now.

Oh, I definitely agree giving Beyonce the award would have been condescending. I think the appropriate action would have been to not accept it at all, which she could have done.

I’d like what Adele did a lot more if she stood by what she said in the speech, and didn’t accept the award. Also, I could have done without the weird/creepy “I wish Beyonce was my mommy” comment.

It’s directed at the first sentence of your initial post.

Nah. Kamala Harris 2020

Racism has never been “over.” It’s just been easier, until now, for clueless white people to pretend it is.

Hanoverian jaw isn’t a thing. Did you mean the Habsburg jaw?

No. No Booker. He was one of the senators who voted against allowing the import of Canadian drugs and (surprise, surprise) he receives a lot of money from pharmaceutical companies; in fact, one of the top recipients.

That’s why I’m holding out for Kamala Harris to run in 2020.

And the people dumb enough to vote for them.

I went, “OMG BEYONCE IS GOING TO COME OUT THANK GOD” and then, “...DAMMIT,” when it became obvious she wasn’t. :(

Are you sure they aren’t ignoring the message, or otherwise plugging their ears and going “LALALA I can’t hear you!” rather than simply not getting it?

He left halfway? But I thought he was present when they told him off at the end?

Haha. You’re human garbage. I’m sure most people here would like to do more than sue you, you nazi fuck. :D

I agree...to an extent. Honestly, I hate how conservative our supposedly liberal party is, and having these guys switch parties would only add to that. Just because they take on the label of Democrat, that doesn’t mean they will start voting correctly.

With all the gerrymandering, voter suppression, and apathetic voters who rarely turn up to midterm elections (but still bitch about the results), what can we even do in 2018?
