This. They think racism is dressing up in white robes and using epithets with the hard “-er”. They don’t recognize how insidious it is, and how much it seeps into every day life, and the subconscious biases they carry.

I know, it’s so weird they’d try to represent the interests of the majority.
With all of the bullshit this administration is pulling, I’ve started looking at things like this as part of a roadmap for the legislation that needs to be passed for people in the future. The very clear, concise lawmaking that the next round of GOP hatemongers and fucktards won’t be so easily able to overturn at…
That’s what happened when I first visited the Raised By Narcissists subreddit.
Mass Media Communications and Logic & Critical Thinking should be required in high school, instead of college, so the majority of people actually learn how to evaluate information and identify bullshit.
I don’t know about McCarthy being right, seeing as we’re far from a Communist state, but the Russians have certainly had a great deal of influence lately, haven’t they? Good job, champ.
So THAT’S what they meant by Make America Great Again! But is it taking us back to McCarthyism, or 1692 Massachusetts?
I don’t know, I have fond memories of Mariah’s Ice cream breakdown, and the guy who tried freestyling for her who could only manage to say “Beauty’s only skin deep” over and over again.
The only people who watch MTV are those who have an exceptionally low bar for watchable reality tv.
I don’t think they realize that Gen X/early millennials (which I guess includes 80s babies like me) made MTV, mostly due to lack of alternatives, and they have no relevance to younger generations in today’s music/technology landscape. At least not in formats from almost 20 years ago — all they really have is an appeal…
Not sure.. They (or their label, management, whatever) profit from the views their videos get indefinitely. Considering some artists hit the billions in views in a relatively short time, I’d wonder if they gain more from Youtube/Vimeo than a licensing deal w/ MTV.
In all the gun control discussion, what surprises is that people are fighting over background checks and registries. Not turning in guns or losing the right to own them.. but just registering them. The silencer debate isn’t about making silencers illegal, it’s just registering them. Like, without being a conspiracy…
I was reading a few articles on my News app, and wound up getting a source I hadn’t managed to filter yet. This particular (totally unbiased, I’m sure.. /s) source said that he only targeted a country concert because they were most likely republicans, and that he had Antifa brochures in his room. And therefore, this…
The green jalepeno tabasco sauce is my secret love. I will put it on everything. I had a friend that used to mix it with ranch (I know) at an all night diner that served cheesy fries. It was heaven. So, now it goes on everything.
They imagine all social programs are solely and exclusively for minorities, when white folk draw on them just as much, if not more. When they think of poverty and talk about taxpayer dollars being wasted on “handouts” for people who “don’t work hard” - they’re specifically referring to PoC.
So cringey. This isn’t a place for white opinion. This isn’t a place to defend yourself to prove somehow “BUT I’M NOT RACIST GUYS!” and the fact that you feel the need to defend yourself is, in itself, problematic. If you can’t resist the urge to jump in and try to prove you’re one of the “good ones” — you’re totally…
Funny tie in: A lot of the Californians in conservative districts wind up relocating to the Inland Northwest (primarily North Idaho). There is a strangely high number of former LEOs, too. I’ve seen a few articles where they literally reference the Rodney King riots as the primary reason for moving... to a white…
By that measure, wouldn’t it actually make it the perfect punk band name?
Considering it was a country concert, I’m guessing there were a number of gun owners there. Doesn’t make much difference when the venue restricts guns, and/or when you’re carrying a handgun and a dude however many stories up is raining bullets with an already illegal automatic (apparently) weapon.
And guess how much revenue google made from those problematic, fake stories?
