Re: Racism
Johnnie, you just have to remember it's a grift.
There's really no money in a black person standing up for black rights. There isn't. It's really just a labor of love.
But a Black RepubliKan? One who denies racism? There's a real market for that. Every RepubliKan wants to point to that one person and say "see. Here's a black person who agrees with me and you on the left are wrong. Even black people know the truth."
I know we can say this dipshit, and Candace Owens and Diamond & Silk are just fucking morons. The whole razor that assume incompetence before you assume malice. But just because they're fucking idiots it doesn't mean they can't also be dishonest too. They know there are (ghostwritten) book deals and speaking engagements and podcasts out there by selling out to politics that go against them. They're not that dumb. They are simply doing the grift.

Joe Rogan doesn't have to sell out his race (just his ethics), but it's in the same vein.

Re: Racism
Sure, and that part sucks, but I think even that is better than some dude loudly yelling the N-word at a player from the first row and no one in the stands reacting.

Hey, look, MrD found a way to show his Philly fan hate today and accuse of all of being racists again.mister d wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 1:19 pmLets revisit once a Flyers fan gets away with it using the same "I was calling the mascot" excuse.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 12:33 pmSure, and that part sucks, but I think even that is better than some dude loudly yelling the N-word at a player from the first row and no one in the stands reacting.
How do you all get your death notices since I left?
Re: Racism
I mean, I get it. There's racists in Philadelphia (and suburbs). No shit. You went to college here and you hate Philly. I remember you'd bring it up in the old swamp and you bring it up again still, mostly unprovoked just to get another dig in. And doing it here is like preaching to the choir. Like when I walked away from Jeopardy two weeks ago because they brought up Santa and the snowballs again, 53 years later. It's just tired.

Re: Racism
Yeah, I took this as some friendly banter/ribbing. I've found Philly sports fans are super-sensitive to their reputation. I mean, you have a stadium full of people throwing snowballs at Santa ONE TIME, and require a judge and jail in your stadium due to the English-level of hooliganism, and you get a reputation! (BTW, if you start to type "Veterans Stadium" into Google, the first suggested auto fill is "jail."
Weird thing, I know what school you went to, never really thought about where it was. If asked, I don't think I would have said Philly. I think I placed it in the region where you grew up, because I don't know anyone else who went there.

Re: Racism
It's probably one of those days where I let shit get to me. Fed up with people in general in the morning and then see one thing that annoys me and I finally decide to comment on something. So yeah, you pushed the right button and the right time. (Maybe yours sometimes stick out because I generally don't like people from the same school you went to, but that's because I had a roommate for four years who went there and was annoying as hell, as were all of his douchebag friends.)The Sybian wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 4:57 pmYeah, I took this as some friendly banter/ribbing.

I honestly thought that years ago when I first found the Swamp, but alas no. Though given our age range, I guess it's a possibility you know one or more of them.

A Bucks County PA school district voted 6-1 yesterday to end their DEI program. The Pennridge Board includes Joan Cullen, a January 6th attendee, who has not been charged with anything as there's no evidence she breached the Capitol, so therefore was not removed from her position.

Re: Racism
With all the small school districts in PA there are many opportunities for screwy board members. Other states may have a board for the county. PA has one for each school. I'm surprised there aren't more of these cases. I know a few of our local board members and they all have either a CRT, masking, or vaccination opinion that doesn't fit the majority. The reason they ran isn't to speak for the majority.Reaper wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:47 am A Bucks County PA school district voted 6-1 yesterday to end their DEI program.

The school district I grew up in had a group on the board that tried to do away with advanced classes. The reason being it was a waste of money for a school where most students ended up in agricultural or trade fields.

Oregon school worker suspended for showing up in blackface in apparent protest of vaccine mandate
What the hell? How does one go through the thought process that leads to 'Yes, I'm going to work in blackface'. Was there no one around to say "umm...that might not be a good idea"?A staff member at an elementary school in suburban Portland, Ore., has been suspended after reporting for work in blackface last week, in an apparent protest of the school district’s vaccine mandate for employees.
The woman showed up dressed as Rosa Parks with her face darkened with dye to protest a vaccination mandate for all public school employees in Oregon, the Newberg Graphic newspaper reported.

For some reason I thought I was in the thread with the Salma Hayek picture and that's what you were referring to. And yeah, I think I probably would pay for that 24 hours, too.
