I just don't know why we're so afraid to call it out when it's not helping things

terrible comparison but hey, this is a hockey board: say the Pens are playing the Red Wings and some Wings player malevolently slashes Bjugstad and breaks his wrist and no penalty is called and no suspension is given

yeah, we're gonna make the playoffs, they aren't and Bjugstad is a replacement level player, but that doesn't make it ok. Toxic things are still toxic

this is what I mean by a two way street. You will never, ever achieve racial harmony if you say things like "Always Sunny blackface is bad but White Chicks is completely fine"

Agree. But we are whitey and racist.

I am having a great deal of difficulty putting myself in the headspace where blackface and Karen are both causes for discord.

Because being told you did something racist/being called a racist requires some level of introspection and reflection that most people can't handle.

[Troy Loney]

Racism needs to have its safe space too.

You're such a good person.

also keep in mind that "karen" was being used before the racist occurrences, like the woman who was complaining about having to wear a mask at a Costco. Karen doesn't mean "racist white women", it's "shitty white woman"

again, it's fine if we want to say toxic white women are Karens. But then we're saying it's fine to call toxic black women Sheniquas.


if you guys don't see the double standard, I honestly don't know what we as a society can do. If you're wondering why some white people are angry, this is why. If you're refusing to understand this then we'll never make peace

[King Colby]

I'd prefer we just not call anyone anything but hey, if calling white people Karen helps then go for it

[offsides]

I'm not crazy about being called a boomer.

The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.

This Bolton book is a good and terrible thing at the same time. Dude should have testified if the things he said were happening, instead of trying to make some bucks.

Bolton Says Trump Impeachment Inquiry Missed Other Troubling Actions: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/us/p ... ached.html

Trump 'pleaded' with China's president to buy US agricultural products to help him win the 2020 election, according to John Bolton's new book: https://www.businessinsider.com/bolton- ... ion-2020-6

Easy to explain away and defend, which is going to be unfortunate, because this person wouldn't buck his party.

[nocera]

**** Bolton.

According to minorities since we're white we have all the power therefore they can't be racist against us. You can't tell them they're wrong or you're racist.

Will somebody please think of those poor Karens calling for the manager or spitting on people because they're mad at her for not wearing a mask. When will Karens matter?

Or it's just a word that some throw around when others don't agree with them.

this isn't close to what this discussion is about but I'm glad you have your mind already made up

The discussion is if we're okay with karen and boomer we have to be okay with "Shaniqua."

How'd I do?

I don’t mean this in any negative way, just an observation.

With how much MR25 tries to show how woke he is to probably an all white board one has to wonder if he is trying to make up for something that he did in his past.

[willeyeam]

Wtf

[Freddy Rumsen]

Does this make Dick Durbin racist, or is Tim Scott not black because he's GOP?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Wtf

is this to the police officer getting a felony murder charge or nobody accusing MR25 of doing something shady?

or maybe both

[willeyeam]

That was at nobody.

[Freddy Rumsen]

TIL "Dixie Chicks" is racist.
