Today in racism

[Vince]

Not today, but still hard to believe, 64 years later.

Not that hard for me to believe. Democrats were pretty bad back then.

I prefer people who are openly villainous, versus the villains we have today.

Good things Republicans have taken up their old mantle.

Don't sell the Democrats short. Between starting the KKK, the lynchings and Jim Crow laws, they set the gold standard for American racism.

[GORDON]

Nah, go Chinese on them. "Beware you don't get what you want."

I read the responses, and for about half of them, I cannot tell if sarcasm/parody or not. I think the original post here is real

[Leisher]

I'm thinking parody. Someone responded to the tweet below with "I liked it better when I was unsure if this was a parody account."

[TheCatt]

Ah....

[Vince]

She's real.

I don't think Twitter gives blue checks to parody accounts (not snarky... really just only pretty sure of this). I do know that a parody account has to say in it's description that it's a parody, else they risk banning. Even then if it's someone Jack gets butthurt about, he may ban you anyway. I know an AOC parody (that was clearly marked as such) got banned a few weeks back.

Edit: Clarifying that if it's a parody of a real person's account, it has to be marked as such.

She does not like white women.

Or maybe white people at all

Yeah, I saw that link. That was a "holy shit" moment.

Like I've said a million times before, the worst racists are the ones who don't realize they're racist.

What does it say about society when South park did it first years ago?

That Mormons are racist?

[TheCatt]

Man uses racist slurs at Waffle House, gets shot + killed.

The article does not mention the slurs, nor anyone's race.

[Leisher]

Can I take a guess based upon the names?

[TheCatt]

Can I take a guess based upon the names?

Please do.

[Leisher]

I'll be honest, I went back at looked at the names again and was confused. I could have gone either way. However, this article says my initial thought was correct.

However, doing a google search, I'm not sure the guy is white...?

In other news, another day, another young black male shot by a white cop. Uh, I mean, a white woman shot by a black cop. Nobody cares.

The names could have gone either way. I was guessing the victim was white though, cuz it wasn't national news and all over twitter, etc.

Uh, I mean, a white woman shot by a black cop. Nobody cares.

That white woman was large and vicious and clearly a predator. He should have been afraid.
