Be glad they didn’t because black men can be indoctrinated into that shit too. I had a convo with a dude at my job back in January. He has a CCP and takes his shit with him every single place he goes at all times. He was joking with his boy while walking past my desk and stepped in to adjust his gun in his waist. So…

One more time, Black women will save this country if white folks let them. James is the main reason Trump wants to be re-elected so badly. She will put him and his disgusting family in jail if given the chance. Karen sit down at take notes about how to handle white men

The NRA’s biggest problem is that many long time or lifetime NRA members have given it the finger because of the incredible harm that it’s done to owning a firearm. Even with how problmatic firearm owning can be, hunters, sport shooters etc were usually respected by people back in the day. But the modern day NRA has…

I know right, before a worldwide pandemic affecting everyone we had: lower unemployment (including blacks), far higher stock market, higher housing market, less violent crime.

Maybe I’m just trying to see the positive, but people do remember that in 2016 57% of white people voted for Trump, right?

Kudos to you for retaining some empathy. I grew up among these people as well but have long since lost any empathy for them. Our prosperity as a nation has been off-shored - whether by literally moving jobs overseas or by moving our collective wealth into the offshore bank accounts of billionaires - largely due to…

Well here’s the thing: These people don’t really have experience of black people being blatantly oppressed because there are no black people around them generally. They’re poor white people who have not had easy lives but also can’t really put themselves in the shoes of black people and think that their lives would be…

A house in my neighborhood went up for sale with a confederate flag proudly displayed in a young boys bedroom. The house is sold by an MD. The realtor, the ceo of the realtor, the owner and others in the community did not care. She’s a trump supporter. The realtor is a trump supporter. Her friends are trump supporters.

50% of white folks??? Did this include those dumb black conservatives? I’m pretty sure they identify themselves as white.

I’m honestly pretty impressed that only 50% of us white people will vote for the person who says the racism part out loud vs. the person who probably only thinks it most of the time.  I would have put it closer to 75% if you’d have asked me.

Picture this:

(Would you really be okay with Rockstar “profiting” off depictions of lynchings?)

I can only imagine the controversy and outcry if lynchings were depicted in the game, or even “Coloreds Only” or “Whites Only” signs, there would have been an insane amount of outrage over Rockstar included details like that in the game.

From what I’m reading, it seems like the studio acknowledged that the Jim Crow South was racist and had the main protagonist act as progressive foil. What they didn’t do is depict every facet of segregation such as“No Colored Allowed” signs or lynchings. (Would you really be okay with Rockstar “profiting” off…

Wait, you think racism in post Civil War America was something you could not be aware of? Think about it for a minute. You’re projecting your own experience on a world that was completely different from yours.

Another thing to keep in mind is that they make it very clear that basically everything Arthur knows, he learned from Dutch and (to a slightly lesser extent, Hosea). Ya’ know, good ‘ole Dutch - a cult leader who abused Arthur and all of the other men he raised for decades. From the beginning of the game, you can see…

Being a white guy who grew up in 1860s America, Arthur doesn’t need to ask Charles about why he feels this way. He knows that the South discriminates against Black people.

“ They assume she’s not black. They assume the person made the cartoon to diminish it.”

I don’t think it was ‘only White people’ in this case. Like you mentioned, the optical illusion art pieces’ concepts come into play here. I don’t think the cartoonist intended it to be ambiguous this way, however.

My “first glance” assessment was the opposite of yours and apparently many others. I’ve studied the image to see why and can’t put my finger on it, other than the word “silly.”
