As a black american who lives in Stockholm I am going to chime in. Swedes know the exact connotations behind this word and the hate is represents. This is not an instance to be excused. Racism is racism everywhere. While I have never in my 39 years been called a nigger to my face in the US, it was uttered to me in…

You mean like the one that gets them all hysterical and believing black men rape all the white wimmens in the world and white men can’t even be bothered to pay attention to black women (ignores slavery through Strom Thurmond and to the CRM) that cites, what, 10 reported rapes?

Bullshit. I have lived in Europe for almost ten years now. Y’all know that the word is fucked up and is one of the worst insults to call a black person. You just pretend not to know to absolve yourselves of guilt when you do use it.

And it’s still responding to me while missing the point.

You would think for people who adore statistics otherwise that something would click and they’d recognize a paucity of unarmed white people killed by black police officers.

Considering black people are such a minuscule portion-they love to tout that 13% when talking about welfare-of the population, that means there…

Yep, he “didn’t mean it in a bad way” but also simultaneously, “[The other player] did a dick move, and I tried to think of the worst word. And I end up saying nigger. I know that no one watching gives a shit”.

Arpaio was found in criminal contempt because he was ordering his deputies to detain people without probable cause or a warrant. Forcing everyone to submit to searches doesn’t make it constitutional, as has been ruled by federal courts in regards to drug testing for welfare recipients.

A background check is a search. They do not have probable cause (or a warrant) to perform said search, because showing up to an evacuation area is not probable cause. It’s the same line of reasoning that Arpaio was convicted (and successfully sued numerous times) of violating numerous peoples’ 4th Amendment rights…

“Real Americans” know there are only two amendments. The 2nd applies all the time, the 1st applies when they want to drop N-bombs and not get beat up.

What the fuck? I can’t even scam my work into an extra personal day and this dude is out here scamming millions.

I’ll take “4th Amendment Violations” for 100, Alex.

Because the presence of anyone who wasn’t a white straight males was largely ignored back in the earlier days, and nobody really talked about it. In part that had to do with the way people who liked games were treated in the earlier days. In part it had to do with the socioeconomic status of the white gamers, and that…

Just read his comment history. Dude’s a troll.

I checked my twitter a few minutes ago. This was the first thing I saw on my timeline. Accurate.

I bailed on Arrow after about a season and a half. I kept waiting for the real Ollie to show up and rail against shit, but kept getting a watered down Bruce Wayne waging a private war for his benefit.

I think what you meant to ask was why do white people revert to white supremacist mode when they get angry and the answer is because that’s their default state.

The covert racist playbook says to come up with a dumb yet sympathetic to white people reason for using that word and then pretend it never happened.

Why does a lot of gamer culture eventually devolve into white supremacy? It just seems so common and even expected that when a streamer gets a big audience, that’s when they decide to reveal their inner nazi.

I keep waiting for the last nail in the coffin, the one that will destroy his ‘career,’ but it never comes. His coffin’s full of nails, yet he survives, somehow.
