shit lol

 

Was good timing.

 

This is so disgusting! What the hell is wrong with people?

 

Again, it's the definition. Adding to that, you cant defeat racism with more racism. That does nothing but create more contempt between groups.

You sound like a child butthurt about an election who cant handle their feelings correctly. The funny thing is I hate Trump but can see this type of reaction makes things worse.

 

Paging those two people complaining about people being angry at whites.

Get a load of this.

 

Please don't make personal attacks. please don't use words like butthurt.

Not today, please. There is anger. Much of it is deserved or at least looking for a place to be heard.

 

Tom Cotton just said on CNN that Trump still does support waterboarding but then continuing to say that America "never have and never will torture"

 

Racism can exist with every race. It the extent of how bad it can be for different group is what differs.

 

Well, on the plus side, I'm now sandwiched in between two states that just legalized marijuana.

 

Estate tax: gone.
Capital gains: reduced.
Regulation? Bye bye.

 

What disgusting foods should I poison myself with this evening for comfort? Wendys, Taco Bell, Five Guys?

 

No warning on the "disease white people can die from" statement but one for "butthurt"?

 

we didn't fail if 52% voted hillary

the system failed

perhaps we failed before that by allowing Trump to dick around and fear monger

the boomers always fail until the day they're gone

 

I'd suggest reading through the racism thread. Some tough things to swollow in there, but also some great reading.

 

Read what I said again. I will not be repeating myself to you.

 

Taco Bell seems apt

 

why we'll be eating shit for 4 years...

 

I did. I don't agree and neither do legal definitions.

 

gotta thank you for making me laugh for the first time since last night.

 

Your response indicates you failed to understand. At any rate, I see no need for our discourse to continue. As I said, you can always choose to post elsewhere if you disagree with mod decisions.

 

I spent 8 years being unable to even watch George Bush give a speech, or talk, and had to leave the room whenever he came on TV. The joy I had after Obama got kicked right in the fucking balls last night.

And Gladwell's podcast sounds even more prescient now:

The Lady Vanishes explores the world of art and politics to examines the strange phenomenon of the “token”—the outsider whose success serves not to alleviate discrimination but perpetuate it. If a country elects a female president, does that mean the door is now open for all women to follow? Or does that simply give the status quo the justification to close the door again?

 

You've officially solidified my decision to pick up Taco Bell.

 

I think we can all agree on Taco Bell.

 

this is where we get the "both sides need equal coverage even when one of them is just racism" thing in media from

 

You call me a child but you're the one getting bent out of shape about people saying white people should die and acting like racism towards white people is an actual viable thing when it never was in the first place. I can be mad that white people voted Trump in because there's many people in this thread and on this site, as well as in my personal life, who will be directly affected by the harmful policies that his administration will set in place or the actions of his supporters who are now emboldened to make attacks on these people as well. I will not feel sorry for my position and I'm not backing down from it so you have two choices, you can deal with or put me on block so you can continue on with life with the naive idea that we're supposed to just be nonjudgmental to people who hold the power to suppress people who are not them.
