Like many white accents of English once spoken in Southern plantation areas—namely, the Lowcountry, Virginia Piedmont and Tidewater, lower Mississippi Valley, and western Black Belt—the modern-day AAVE accent is mostly non-rhotic (or "r-dropping" ). The presence of non-rhoticity in both black English and older white Southern English is not merely coincidence, though, again, which dialect influenced which is unknown. It is better documented, however, that white Southerners borrowed some morphological processes from black Southerners.
Many grammatical features were used alike by older speakers of white Southern English and African American English more so than by contemporary speakers of the same two varieties. Even so, contemporary speakers of both continue to share these unique grammatical features: "existential it", the word y'all, double negatives, was to mean were, deletion of had and have, them to mean those, the term fixin' to, stressing the first syllable of words like hotel or guitar, and many others.[64] Both dialects also continue to share these same pronunciation features: /ɪ/ tensing, /ʌ/ raising, upgliding /ɔː/, the pin–pen merger, and the most defining sound of the current Southern accent (though rarely documented in older Southern accents): the glide weakening of /aɪ/. However, while this glide weakening has triggered among white Southerners a complicated "Southern Vowel Shift", black speakers in the South and elsewhere on the other hand are "not participating or barely participating" in much of this shift.[65] AAVE speakers also do not front the vowel starting positions of /oʊ/ and /uː/, thus aligning these characteristics more with the speech of nineteenth-century white Southerners than twentieth-century white Southerners.[66]
Watch the trailer. Blackface is the hill they've chosen to die on, for some reason. Apparently a handful of retards doing something once a year is worthy of making an entire show about. This is how disconnected the far left is from reality. They think blackface is a rampant problem. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't think that they have blackface at KKK rallies. And there are perhaps 6000 KKK members in the US, so you probably can't find any rallies to go to in your entire state anyways.
Poor example I suppose. It might have been more accurate to say "racist assholes," although I really can't think of an example of that happening either.
This show seems to be based upon the movie of the same name which came out a few years ago. Everything they showed in the trailer happens in the movie too. I watched it expecting it to be absolute trash but it was only mediocre. At the end the girl who says all that dear white people shit kinda sorta realizes that being intentionally confrontational was only a way for her to ignore certain interpersonal issues in her life.
The YouTube comments are a /pol/ assblasted brigade, and a lot funnier.
excellent racebaiting just wait until moonman gets memed into reality you fucking kikes
and
HEEB WILL NOT DIVIDE US
It does look damn tiresome, but it's a shame the "importance" and supposed societal effects of fiction have been so overemphasized and politicized the past few years. Now people are seeing more serious agendas behind things that could be transgressive just for the fun of it, or to try just challenge your tastes.

I love how when it comes to 4chan stuff, if you don't know WTF they are talking about it sounds like gibberish and not even close to something that makes sense.
to be fair outside of the_Donald, no huge subreddit isn't hard left, The_Donald is really the only place that is consistantly high up on /all that isn't hard left.
idk m8 /r/4chan has a shitton of /pol/ posts that make the front page. That's probably why we aren't getting included in the popular subs list by the admins you dumb cuck :^)
The movie of the same name from a few years ago was pretty decent. Ironically, part of the joke was that the black characters in that were at least as close-minded as the white ones.
Yeah, they played this movie when I was in university at a student activities movie night, it did a pretty good job of making fun of closer minded assholes of both races. They literally have a young black girl tell an older black man who walked with MLK and had fire hoses turned on him that he didn't understand what oppression was.
lol people don't care if it is based on a movie that is critical of every race. They see the title and want to autistically screech their disapproval in /r/drama
If only black people could redirect their exceptional focus and devotion to Basketball and Rap Battles onto a more marketable skill set (like reading and writing) they might be able to find equal footing with other races.
dear white people, stop using blackface as a costume
/u/keymanthan. I don't think we're living in the 1920s anymore so I think we're all good here. Well, I guess you can bitch at John Badham for casting Fisher Stevens as a Indian, you know dot not feather. What's your thoughts on the movie Black Rage? Chris Robinson was the director and played as an "Albino Nigger". Would that be blackface? He's technically not in black face, because he's playing an albino.
What are some examples of people today playing "black face"?
There are really few examples that I can even think of, I can think of only 1 movie in recent history that someone played a different race and that was White Chicks.
If you want to talk TV, what did you think of Khigh Dhiegh playing a Chinese national in the good Hawaii Five-O? How about Kono being played by someone that doesn't have any Hawaiian ancestry, why not a Native Hawaiian like it was in the original when they cast Zulu?
Fucking shit man, Johnny 5 is alive and well with you. Are you saying that you trust Hollywood making a Short Circuit movie today? I sure as shit don't. I have somewhat hope that the next Blade Runner will be at least watchable. They have the screen writer from the first coming back, but they also have the screen writer from The Green Lantern. Logan isn't out yet, so I don't know if he learned to write a movie in that time.
I haven't got around to watching it yet so I don't really know how good it is. I guess this is a better Short Circuit inspired movie than Cannon Ball Run 3 Speed Run is a Cannon Ball Run movie. I do have a little hope that they can take parts of movies and make something competent. As long as the studio gave them leeway with things.
I've heard strong opinions leaning one way or another. The creator is somewhat a one-trick pony, being from South Africa and having most of his movies deal with South Africa or Apartheid, but on the plus side his movies always have amazing special effects and good directing. Without giving away any detail, the movie itself is flawed, but has a lot of good aspects.
I don't mind flaws too much, I like movies that I can get some kind of enjoyment out of it. Some movies I enjoyed are complete shit but I found it funny as hell.
Downey received Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his performance, with both him and Cruise receiving nominations for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture.
You're a mouthbreathing idiot. Robert Downey jr was playing a character with major psychological issues who needed desperately to be somebody else to the point he was taking on other races. A white narcissist with personal problems was being lampooned in that movie, not black people. I can't fucking stand people devoid of critical thinking, like you.
Robert Downey jr was playing a character with major psychological issues who needed desperately to be somebody else to the point he was taking on other races.
He was playing an Actor and it was remarking on how Actors "Become" their roles.
It was a satire of Method-Acting
He didn't have major psychological issues, go run down DSM-5 and figure out he doesn't meet the criteria for any "Major" psychological issues.
Did you diagnose yourself with psychological issues this same shoddy way?
A white
Lithuanian Jew, how dare you disrespect Downy's proud heritage like this.
Yeah. Exactly as I said. The psychological issues were that he was uncomfortable being himself to the point he had to constantly be others. He didn't become crazy because of the method acting, he was method acting because of his issues. Also, this in no way makes the fact that he was in blackface offensive. You're still a mouthbreather devoid of context.
PS unironically referencing the DSM without being a psychologist/psychiatrist means you're probably a lunatic.
You still haven't told me what specific Major Psychological Issues you'd diagnosed him with.
He didn't become crazy because of the method acting, he was method acting because of his issues.
Stressers made his Method Acting become his source of escaping and later in the movie full blown avoidance coping and there is no way for you to prove otherwise.
Have you actually watched the movie?
Maybe rewatch it?
Also, this in no way makes the fact that he was in blackface offensive.
You don't get to pick what offends people.
I'm offended by your slandering of his proud racial heritage that you still haven't apologized for.
Why do you feel the need to whitewash Jewish people?
PS unironically referencing the DSM without being a psychologist/psychiatrist means you're probably a lunatic.
"I'm wrong so I better insult someone to make myself feel better"
You still haven't told me what specific Major Psychological Issues you'd diagnosed him with.
I didn't attempt to diagnose him with anything, dumbass, but it was very obvious his obviously irrational behavior was due to psychological issues.
Stressers made his Method Acting become his source of escaping and later in the movie full blown avoidance coping and there is no way for you to prove otherwise.
Have you actually watched the movie?

Guess what, stress disorders are psychological issues. And nothing you've stated there contradicts what I've stated, in fact it's exactly what I've said. I'm surprised you didn't toss an "oh, honey" on to your unjustified snark, which is the calling card of simpletons.
You don't get to pick what offends people.
I can pick what's rational and what isn't. Also, this thought process is so pathetic I'm starting to think you're a le trole.
playing a character with major psychological issues who needed desperately to be somebody else to the point he was taking on other races
Stressers
Pick One.
stress disorders are psychological issues.
So you are going with a stress disorder?
Not Identity issues?
You know what Psychological Issue
playing a character with major psychological issues who needed desperately to be somebody else to the point he was taking on other races
Is or are you just yet another dumbass Reddit Armchair psychologist?
Because you've missed the mark and it's entirely possible he didn't need to "desperately" be somebody else and in fact there is an entire scene that makes it clear what Issue he has.
I'm surprised you didn't toss an "oh, honey" on to your unjustified snark, which is the calling card of simpletons.
You know you are the one who is all butthurt and insulting not me right :)
Also, this thought process is so pathetic I'm starting to think you're a le trole.
It's taken you so long you've earned a free Autism diagnosis!
You unironically post on the_donald (yes, I did take the four seconds to click on your username and see your post history). You're a rambling dolt. Do everybody a favor and kill yourself.
That sound like a better movie than most of the crap Hollywood shits out today. Have you ever seen Tiptoes? Fucking hilarious! They have Gary Oldman playing a midget. They have Peter Dinklage playing as Gary Oldman's best friend. It was supposed to be a drama, but it was all comedy gold.
I'm glad I found this comment. I've only seen the trailer and have wondered if I should order it or not. It looks like it's cringey as fuck. Definitely gonna buy it now.
Man, it's just fucking ridiculous. You can tell that they really tried hard to make it as dramatic as possible to the point of it being nearly a parody of it's self.
I really like you cunts there. You motherfuckers are full of badassness. You guys are literally tougher. Elevators there and Japan actually produce more g-forces than the rest of the world because they can tolerate it. The shows there look pretty damn funny. It's too bad that the snowflakes here have a chokehold on comedy.
Have you heard about the Polish Independence Day March provocation by Gazeta Wyborcza 'journalist'? This retard went out like this to see if the march participants will do/say anything racist to him. Nothing actually happened but - quoting him - "he felt like he's not welcomed there" (yeah, maybe it was because you look like a racist retard).
...Baptist church, somehow I'm not really surprised. I think it's fucking stupid that they will say that the Hijab is a symbol of freedom when it's forced on women in shit countries. No sane motherfucker says we should take a vacation in a lovely country like Iraq or Afghanistan. People are fucking nuts to even visit Iran or even North Korea. I guess it's the hipster version of going to a zoo, instead of having animals they have Peta approved human exhibits.
I don't think anyone's really complaining about movies and shit - but seemingly every year some college tards get in the news for throwing some wildly offensive party just to be edgy and shit.
No, people complain about everything. I think people trying to edge it up are funny as hell. It's not a case of laughing with them, it's laughing at them.
I actually watched the movie when the outrage occurred like a year ago. Pretty funny actually. Everyone in the movie is an outrageous stereotype... in the first fifteen minutes or so. As soon as you get past skin deep character introductions it starts to derail.
The main character hosts some youtube show (or maybe local college radio it's been a while) complains about everything, gets in a flame war with another youtuber, and then basically stirs shit up on campus forcing people to react to her.
She even dates a white dude, is ashamed of it, and admits she's confused about her identity and basically promises to stop being a dramanaut near the end. Some guy rigged the vote for black council leadership or housing leadership or whatever for her college, propelling her into some actual voice. Later on she takes advantage of calling for a stupid protest and doctoring email invitations to a white guy's frat party to show up as black caricatures.
In the end, I think the movie was a solid 4/10. It had some funny parts, almost making fun of outrage culture more while it promoted itself as knee-jerk reaction. It tried to be satire, moving towards reasonableness throughout the film and away from the extreme stereotypes in the beginning but it wasn't done very well and was pretty much lacking in every department.
/u/lsu_coonass is just bummed Sarkisian won't be blowing it when it counts most for bama anymore and it's bleeding over into the rest of his reddit posts
I agree he's a fuck up but I still think Sark is moreso. I give Lane credit for what he did at Bama after the USC drama. Sark hasn't done anything positive beside continue to get new, better jobs.
Look it up there are many sites reporting his yearly salary as $35k.
He was given a bonus of $70k for January for filling in for Kiffin. Obviously if Kiffin hadn't left he wouldn't have gotten the extra loot. But that's beside the point say he got the 70k and the 35k normally, that's still less than the Falcons will pay.
oh totally he was the golden child, i just find his current situation pretty amusing cause fuck all the USC coaches since Carrol. Double fuck carrol for ducking out after putting the program in a spot to get fucked. Most of all fuck Jed York, fuck football, fuck you (sorry that was mean) and fuck me for still pretending to care about anything
Worse than pointless, since it costs time and effort (and possibly sanity). It's like being afraid of the dark, and responding by shooting at the darkness.
Are you kidding me? Reddit is THE Internet influencer of 18-34 demographic online.
Some subreddits get more eyeballs than any news channel. Some moderators control hundreds of subreddits.
They're not "supposed" to get bribed but there's no mechanism to prevent it and reddit can't even handle themselves let alone policing that in a real way.
/r/Drama is actually an internet cult and they meet most of the criteria needed for being a cult. The way in which they effectively serve as an internet cult is that it is possible for anyone to easily join the cult so long as they have an internet connection and a reddit account and are willing to do exactly what they are told by the /r/Drama moderator hierarchy and the people who control and run the subreddit. The worst thing about /r/Drama, however, isn't that they have their own shitty subreddit that makes zero sense to the outside world and to those who are sane and don't believe in the views of social justice warriors and radical feminists. The worst thing about /r/Drama is that they and their friends from other like-minded subreddits on reddit - with the cooperation and unspoken support of a few reddit administrators - have managed to turn reddit into Digg 2.0 where a clique of users who are chummy and friendly with each other have managed to take over a very large portion of this website. The users who have turned reddit into Digg 2.0 and who threaten to ruin the site are what I and some others who understand the situation have come to know as and refer to as "metareddit cancer." I have taken it upon myself to go ahead and create the subreddit /r/metaredditcancer to act as a watchdog that chronicles everything that this cabal of reddit users are doing to turn reddit into Digg 2.0 and - in particular - to turn the site into a place run by social justice warrior and feminist moderators who tolerate no deviation from their beliefs in the numerous subreddits that they have come to control as moderators. My hope is that after reading this comment of mine that you will subscribe to /r/metaredditcancer so that you can stay well-informed about a very serious situation that has arisen - largely unknown to most users - on this website so that we can all gain a greater understanding of what a powerful cabal of agenda-driven users are doing to and have done to this site that we all love. I am a long-time user on reddit who has intimate and in-depth knowledge of this cabal and who has modded multiple subreddits both large and small, who has been intimately involved in discussion with this cabal of users regarding their control of reddit, who knows what their agenda is and what they want to do with their power and control, who has sat in their private discussions in internet chat rooms, who has seen leaks from their private subreddits, and who has absolutely had enough of what they have done to reddit and of what they will continue to do to this site unless the rest of this site is exposed to who and what they are and what their endgame is. What happened to Digg and what has happened to 4chan very recently is undeniably and positively what is happening to reddit now and what has been happening here since 2012. The cabal of users and moderators who I refer to as "metareddit cancer" hail from the subreddits Shitredditsays, circlebroke, Braveryjerk, circlejerk, TheBluePill, SubredditDrama, SRDbroke, and Drama. This cabal of users are - for the most part - the moderators of these subreddits and these users also control many other subreddits with thousands and even hundreds of thousands of subscribers. They mod subreddits like /r/news, /r/politics, /r/worldnews, /r/Subredditdrama, /r/creepyPMs, /r/offmychest, /r/TIFU, /r/explainlikeimfive, /r/changemyview, /r/LGBT, and numerous other subreddits where they have managed to worm their way into moderator positions over the years and then go on to have total control over the type of discussion that goes on in their subreddits. They make sure that any discussion that goes against their social justice and feminist beliefs is censored and controlled and/or they mod their subreddits like ban-happy dictators who get rid of anyone who breaks the circlejerk that goes on in their subreddits every week. This is absolutely the case with offmychest, creepyPMs, and Subredditdrama. Maybe the worst example of their way of worming into moderator positions and destroying subreddits is that of /r/LGBT and how 2 transsexual radfem /r/Drama trolls - one of which has become infamous on reddit and other chan websites - managed to take control of the subreddit in 2012 and then acted like dictators and abused their power so badly that reddit's administrators had to be called into the drama. The admins refused to remove the two /r/Drama moderators, the LGBT subreddit went into meltdown because of them, and this led to the subreddit being ruined and people having to flock to the newly created /r/ainbow subreddit because one of the biggest forums for discussing LGBT issues on the internet was taken over by members of /r/Drama. This is the first notable time that /r/Drama and other metareddit cancer have taken control of subreddits and they've gone on to manipulate reddit's subreddit request system to bring even more subreddits under their control. They organize subreddit request attempts in private subreddits where they plan out their agenda and they do the same in their internet relay chat rooms as well. I can say with total confidence that there is no other reddit clique and group operating on this website that looks to take over and control as many subreddits as they can in a clear and indisputable attempt to control the flow of conversation so that conversations in any given subreddit always lean and kowtow to radical feminism and a perverted form of social justice. NO OTHER GROUP EXISTS that is looking to take over as much of this site as possible. One of the more troubling things that I have come to understand having been an intimately involved user of reddit for years, is that some of reddit's current and past administrators support and belong to this cabal of metareddit cancer. An administrator who was fired from reddit two years ago immediately was added as a mod of /r/Drama as soon as he left his admin role and made clear what some users had already known: he was literally a member of /r/Drama and as an admin he used his power to carry out /r/Drama's agenda. He routinely ostracized and terminated the accounts of (shadowbanned) people who posted in subreddits that /r/Drama want destroyed and now he sits as a moderator of /r/Drama. This is one of the biggest yet unknown bits of corruption in reddit's history yet you wouldn't know it because the subreddit created as a watchdog for this sort of thing - /r/Subredditdrama - was taken over by /r/Drama and reddit metacancer in 2013 and they censor discussion about themselves so that people aren't aware of what is going on. The takeover of SubredditDrama is one of the worst things that has ever happened on this website because of its 150K subscriber size and because the very people who are the problem that I am discussing happen to be in control of SubredditDrama. This is clearly a monumental conflict of interest given that anything nefarious that this group of users do cannot be openly discussed in SubredditDrama without their consent. What caused this cabal to come to be and what is it that unites them in their desire to control the site through moderator power and through cliques? A need for friendship that's lacking in real life. A # of users involved in this cabal are depressed, aren't "cool", are LGBT (more difficult to be included socially if you are a member of this group in real life), are social outcasts, or just want to have some internet friends because they spend a lot of time on this site. This last reason differs a bit from the other reasons and is different in that some users - a smaller number - belonging to this cabal get drawn into it without knowing what the agenda is and they simply just want some internet friends. However, they always cave to the agenda when it is brought up (perverted feminism and social justice and tightly-controlled, censorship-happy moderation in the cabal's subreddits) and so it doesn't matter that their intentions for joining the cabal were innocent. In the end, they always come around and you can already see how this is cult-like behavior. Anyone who doesn't toe-the-line and go along with the agenda is shunned or cast out. I've spent time talking to one of them who was cast out of one of the cabal's private subreddits after realizing that the nature of the cabal and "group of friends" wasn't innocent and that everything revolved around feminism, social justice, and the ego-driven desire to control as many subs as possible. The scary thing about my interaction with this cast-out former member is that the cabal looks to get your name and personal information. They do this through their everyday IRC chats and in Facebook groups where some choose to take friend requests with their real names. Others use new Facebook profiles with their reddit names. This cast-out user used his real account and he knows now that a reason why they send friend invites is so that you think twice about going against them because then they have your personal info and can come after you with threats at home, work, and anywhere else. What the users in the cabal do to gain entrance is act smug and superior (social justice, feminism, morality policing) to redditors. The cabal acts as their cool kids club that they weren't good enough for in real life. THAT IS HOW AND WHY THEY ARE FRIENDS AND WHAT BINDS THEM TOGETHER BECAUSE ANYONE CAN ACT THIS WAY. A cabal on Digg is what led to the deterioration of the site and is what led to the migration that saw users flood to reddit. I'll be damned if I watch the same type of behavior from a group of a few dozen users continue to move reddit towards becoming Digg 2.0. 4chan has been thrown into a serious mess like this after Moot gave mod positions to authoritarian mods in the last year who now control the site given his recent abdication as site admin. Let's not let this develop further on reddit because there's a point of no return.
That was not me, but I admire it very much and agree 100℅. it's a famous post that had 1000+ upvotes and gold, it exposed the cabal for the first time.

A cabal on Digg is what led to the deterioration of the site and is what led to the migration that saw users flood to reddit. I'll be damned if I watch the same type of behavior from a group of a few dozen users continue to move reddit towards becoming Digg 2.0. 4chan has been thrown into a serious mess like this after Moot gave mod positions to authoritarian mods in the last year who now control the site given his recent abdication as site admin. Let's not let this develop further on reddit because there's a point of no return.
You didn't know that that's part of being an "activist" ? It's been going of forever. People try to get mod status in as many subs as possible and once you get 2 or 3 in there then the takeover begins.
There's a big crossover between having the free time to climb the internet forum moderation ladder and needing to be a True Believer in the Cause to fill the yawning void of emptiness in your life.
I been trying to be a mod at r/sweden and get to powertripping. However they reject my glorious shitposting abilities and in favor of bunch of nobodies like /u/Norci.
Oh look at me I'm u/Minimum_T-Giraff and I'm European. I think I can win fights against a strong manly American just because I have a knife. Little do I know that Americans have +50 to onehanded melee weapons while unarmed.
If you hold it with two hands you won't be able to hold a shield and be able to tank an American's massive DPS. If you duel wielded you may be able to beat us in terms of DPS, but our health pool is much bigger than yours.
I fail too see how i can do more damage with two knives as i can only attack with one at the time properly. I could see a possibility of a better defense as i can use 2nd knife for deflecting incoming attacks.
But then the Yankee would get + 100 bonus which would be the end of me. Such and suggest a cloak and dagger approach with clock absorb 1-2 attack which hopefully gives me a window of opportunity to stab the guy in arse.
That didn't make any sense, TBH. Are you going to build a trap that forces them to run on a treadmill, or are you going to literally trap them inside the treadmill? It seems like it would be hard to trap anyone inside a treadmill. There's not all that much space.
He's obviously never seen this sub. I'm waiting for the drama thread where the mods actually lock a post. That shit would be funny as hell, just like when they closed this sub.
Gotta keep that bubble around you. You may be traumatized by words and all. I guess that having a mental disorder that makes you a perpetual victim allows them to cash out on social security disability insurance.
I AM VERY DISGUSTED AT THE WAY SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THEIR RACE IS SUPERIOR. NO ONE IS SUPERIOR OTHER THAN GOD. I MAY NOT LIKE SOME BLACK, HISPANIC, OR WHITE PEOPLE BUT I DO NOT HATE THE RACE AS A WHOLE. IF YOU WANNA LIVE IN THE DAYS WHEN TV WAS BLACK AND WHITE AND RAISE YOUR KIDS TO BE RACIST AND PREJUDICE AGAINST OTHER RACES THEN YOU'RE HARMING THEM AND KEEPING THEM FROM PROGRESSING. BLACK AND WHITE=GRAY AND GRAY=BORING!! COLOR AND ALL COLORS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! WE ALL BLEED RED AND EVERYONE'S **** STINKS, SO UNTIL YOU BLEED GOLD AND **** DIAMONDS THEN YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. I AM AMERICAN OF PUERTORICAN DESCENT AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME THEN YOU DON'T LIKE MY KIDS AND IF YOU KNOW ME THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I DO NOT PLAY AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO MY KIDS. IMA LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT IF YOU WANNA POST SOME IGNORANT BS ON HERE THEN DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DELETE ME CAUSE I WILL GO OFF ON YOUR ASS. I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR IGNORANCE. FUNNY HOW BACK IN THE DAY THE WHITE PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE OR TRUST BLACK PEOPLE BUT THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THE WHITE PEOPLE'S HOUSE AND CHILDREN. I AM RAISING MY KIDS TO ACCEPT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE AND NOT FOR WHAT COLOR THEY ARE. WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY TO JUST GO BACKWARDS. I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT OBAMA CAUSE HE'S BLACK WHEN THE WHITE PRES DID THE SAME THING AND I'M TIRED OF REPUBLICANS THINKING THEYRE SMARTER THAN DEMOCRATS. I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS SEPARATION BS. WE ARE ALL HUMANS! WE ALL HAVE FEELINGS! I AM FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE AND IT REALLY HURTS ME TO THINK THAT I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE RACIST AGAINST A RACE OTHER THAN THEIR OWN. IF GOD WANTED THE WORLD TO BE FULL OF WHITE PEOPLE THEN HE WOULD'VE MADE IT THAT WAY. SOME MAY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ME TALKING SPANGLISH BUT YA LOVE EATING THAT SPANISH FOOD.THIS IS AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH WHICH MEANS I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK SPANGLISH AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO COVER YOUR DAMN EARS IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR. HATING ANOTHER RACE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT OR BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID OF IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A BAD RACE NOR DOES IT MEAN YOU ARE BETTER THAN ANYONE. INSTEAD OF HATING WHY NOT TRY EDUCATING YOURSELF ON ALL THE DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES AND APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENCE IN ALL OF US. DON'T HATE CAUSE OF YOUR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. ONE DAY YOU MAY BE STUCK AND A BLACK OR HISPANIC PERSON MAY BE THE ONLY ONE AROUND TO HELP YOU. I LOVE ME AND I LOVE WHERE I COME FROM AND WHERE MY FAMILY COMES FROM AND NOTHING OR NO ONE COULD EVER MAKE ME WANNA BE ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN WHO GOD MADE ME TO BE. I'M GONNA STOP AND LEAVE IT AT THIS FOR NOW CAUSE I HOPE I HAVE MADE MY POINT. IGNORANCE ISN'T BLISS AND IF IGNORANT IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE YOU KNOW THEN I SUGGEST YOU LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE. WE ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE NATION UNDER GOD AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO LIKE IT BUT YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT SO WHY NOT MAKE PEACE AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT =)
We aren't talking about normal issues related to being poor or isolated occasions of mistreatment. Which is the current state of affairs.
We are talking about a deliberate and systematic program to oppress back people. Which actually happened. And no amount of whataboutism and wishful thinking is going to make it not have happened.
Is it really, really that hard to just nut up and admit that Jim Crow and segregation happened? Are you either that dogmatic, or that brainwashed that you cannot accept well documented historical facts?
It did happen and it was awful and destroyed a lot of black families. Just like how the justice system today is still destroying black families. The point is a lot of white and asian people have also been mistreated throughout the years. Do you think a guy like eminem was privileged?
We need to help people who get the short end of society not focus on their race
There's not really a comparison between Jim Crow and the current levels of racism in the Justice system.
This is something special and unique about the instutionalized practice of racism that transcends mere issues of class and
Do you think a guy like eminem was privileged?
No, but I don't think he had any family members lynched. Or had uncles telling him about when they weren't allowed to go to school, or vote, or live in the nicer parts of town.
What you are doing right now is like claiming that the Holocaust wasn't such a big deal because lots of minority groups get oppressed.
No, i am saying that stuff was really fucking bad, but all groups in society has been mistreated at one time or another, we need to move on. If we want a better society. The jewish people shouldn't take from the germans now should they?
But right after ww2 it would make a lot of sense to repay the jews for the damage caused, as much as you can
No it isn't, it's because idiots like seeing their political agenda echoed back at them, you can see the same thing with all the stupid Christian movies, and Netflix doesn't reveal any metrics on how successful any of their stuff is and this is probably a waste of money
Netflix has been taking some huge risks as of late with their TV show budgeting. Huge risks, as in giving large amounts of funding to relatively unknown directors and producers. It's how Stranger Things became a thing. Guessing it's also how we got Black Mirror.
Black mirror had three successful seasons on channel four in the UK, before Netflix grabbed it. The writers and directors are huge names, Charlie Brooker has been actively producing TV shows for the BBC since like the mid 2000s. What are you on about?
I mean a dislike button was clicked a lot by a bunch of offended white people. If the series does bad then netflix will probably cancel it. There had to have been some potential profit in doing the show or netflix wouldn't have done it.
Either that or netflix likes causing drama, and if that's the case we need to mod netflix.
I might have missed something- is not using blackface as a costume some injustice I'm supposed to rail against now, or is everyone upset about something else?
I get what you're saying, but Netflix tracks the number of views each show gets, and if this show doesn't get enough views, Netflix won't spend any more money on shows like it. Just not watching it is enough. No need to sacrifice all that Luke Cage and Daredevil :)
The funny thing is the chans will watch it with fervor just to pick it apart, upping the views while blaming the Jews for the season 2 they may help happen.
I predict many happy autistic spasm incidents to come.
You can't tell me that Luke Cage is as bad as that shit.
See, we've been spoiled by how good the Marvel movies and Agents of Shield and Daredevil show are. Luke Cage for sure isn't as good as those. But compared to "normal" comic book superhero stuff? Way better.
Mate, the Marvel movies are TRASH. Marvel Tv? Good, sure. I have no idea what Legends of Tomorrow is, but Luke Cage is legit one of the worst tv shows I watched last year.
Legends of Tomorrow is one the shittier DC comics tv shows. It's super terrible.
But you're actually sitting here and shitting on the Marvel movies? Your taste is bad and you should feel bad for having it. Ironman? Captain America? Thor? Avengers? Guardians of the Galaxy? Antman? Dr. Strange? Not a bad one in the bunch.
I'm curious though what you are thinking of when you say Marvel TV? Agents of Shield and Daredevil? Or including Jessica Jones and Agent Carter as well.
Daredevil s1 is Marvel's best. Jessica Jones was 5 episodes too long.
I put Luke Cage between Daredevil s2 and Jessica Jones, imo. Was very disappointed with the last arc of Jessica Jones as well.
My personal ranking of Marvel Shows is Agents of Shield > Daredevil > Luke Cage > Jessica Jones > Agent Carter. Mostly because a superhero show with no superhero is boring.
/u/Prax150, are you actually mad that people aren't in favor of race baiting? Like you locked it because they didn't have the opinions you wanted about it?
I mean, unless someone was spamming NIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGERNIGGER or something, what was your point in doing that?
Because you're implying that the issue is universal across the demographic because you're too lazy to use a better term or explain further what you mean - it's simpler for me to tell black people to stop shooting people than it is for me to tell gang-related black people to stop shooting people. See how that's a massive issue and it makes me look like an asshole?
Better than saying "African American" for fucks sake 99.99% of black amercians are born here they are not from fucking africa.. just call them american's and if you need to use a description say black.
Because we let blacks/browns into our Ivy League universities without them having the necessary merit, then they turn around and scream 'DAS RACIS' at everyone around them 24/7
No /u/Prax150, you are just a very butthurt liberal who took time out of his brainless bashing of the republican party to lock a thread where people called something that looked like shit, shit. You should be ashamed of your self for being such a horrible human.
1 - They seem pretty pissed at the Stranger Thnings Sherrif guy accepting this award. He seems like he is pretending he wants to join the Black Bloc. "We will punch these (allegorical, i.e. Republicans) monsters in the face!" It does look damn tiresome...
1 - Lampooining Blackface is okay as long as it's current year Also covering your face in black paint isn't always "BlackFace" Like you know he asked for examples of people today playing Black Face right? Are you arguing that Downey didn't do that?
1 - Us Aussies are doing our part. There's S.Mouse in Angry Boys, John Safran does the "Black Like Me" thing in John Safrans Race Relations. Oh and the (Hey Hey reunion)[ ] which was heavily criticised by Harry Connick Jr.
/u/HedblomDesign are you equally appalled about make dress standards? The requirement for men to dress in shirts/ties and even more formal suits is not only completely ridiculous (ties serve literally no function) but completely biased. Why can't i wear a dress to Parliament if i want to? Totally outrageous. Why can women wear short sleeves to Parliament but I can't?
Or do social expectations happen to everyone, not just women.
You see an interviewer asking Scarlett about her dress. I see Scarlett lucky enough to be able to wear an individualised outfit and still get into a formal ceremony.
Despite what you may have learned to believe on 4chan and reddit, women are actually people. "Dear white people" includes white women, so stop gaslighting the issue by talking about the rights of white women. This is a show about the prevailing and omnipresent racism that black people endure, so shut the fuck up about your precious 'white plight' for a change and listen, so you might actually learn something valuable that's not about white issues.
>'yeah but women though', implying white women aren't people as well, and the show is somehow not about them
>'My desire to be Captain Equality in the comment section of an American cat and meme sharing website has significantly impeded my ability to read' - you
this user is on a rampage about being against women being allowed rights. and is trying to fight back to keep women from having the right to wear pants.
Isn't this based on a movie and a book that was satirical in nature. I really hope it isn't as obviously racebaiting as it is in the trailer. There have been wose adaptations so I wouldnt be surprised if they co-opted the message to make it utter shit.
So I don't usually browse someone's posting history - but I decided to do so to check out who this mod is. Nearly their entire recent history is /r/politics posts.
Canadian here. I'm on r/politics all day. A few friends I have a group chat with, it's all we talk about these days. At lunch at work too, we always have CNN on the TV instead of Canadian news or some bullshit afternoon talk show like before. Even with my family, I'm always talking about it with my parents when I go home for dinner. We're obsessed, and we're completely pissed off.
That trailier reminds me a bit of that time when Neil out of The Young Ones wrote a latter to his bank manager that began 'Dear fascist bastard' or something.

I don't think that they have blackface at KKK rallies. And there are perhaps 6000 KKK members in the US, so you probably can't find any rallies to go to in your entire state anyways.

This show seems to be based upon the movie of the same name which came out a few years ago. Everything they showed in the trailer happens in the movie too. I watched it expecting it to be absolute trash but it was only mediocre. At the end the girl who says all that dear white people shit kinda sorta realizes that being intentionally confrontational was only a way for her to ignore certain interpersonal issues in her life.

/u/keymanthan. I don't think we're living in the 1920s anymore so I think we're all good here. Well, I guess you can bitch at John Badham for casting Fisher Stevens as a Indian, you know dot not feather. What's your thoughts on the movie Black Rage? Chris Robinson was the director and played as an "Albino Nigger". Would that be blackface? He's technically not in black face, because he's playing an albino.
What are some examples of people today playing "black face"?
There are really few examples that I can even think of, I can think of only 1 movie in recent history that someone played a different race and that was White Chicks.
If you want to talk TV, what did you think of Khigh Dhiegh playing a Chinese national in the good Hawaii Five-O? How about Kono being played by someone that doesn't have any Hawaiian ancestry, why not a Native Hawaiian like it was in the original when they cast Zulu?

I've heard strong opinions leaning one way or another. The creator is somewhat a one-trick pony, being from South Africa and having most of his movies deal with South Africa or Apartheid, but on the plus side his movies always have amazing special effects and good directing. Without giving away any detail, the movie itself is flawed, but has a lot of good aspects.

You're a mouthbreathing idiot. Robert Downey jr was playing a character with major psychological issues who needed desperately to be somebody else to the point he was taking on other races. A white narcissist with personal problems was being lampooned in that movie, not black people. I can't fucking stand people devoid of critical thinking, like you.
n/a Imgur_Lurker 2017-02-08
He was playing an Actor and it was remarking on how Actors "Become" their roles.
It was a satire of Method-Acting
He didn't have major psychological issues, go run down DSM-5 and figure out he doesn't meet the criteria for any "Major" psychological issues.
Did you diagnose yourself with psychological issues this same shoddy way?
Lithuanian Jew, how dare you disrespect Downy's proud heritage like this.
n/a Mort_DeRire 2017-02-08
Yeah. Exactly as I said. The psychological issues were that he was uncomfortable being himself to the point he had to constantly be others. He didn't become crazy because of the method acting, he was method acting because of his issues. Also, this in no way makes the fact that he was in blackface offensive. You're still a mouthbreather devoid of context.
PS unironically referencing the DSM without being a psychologist/psychiatrist means you're probably a lunatic.
n/a Imgur_Lurker 2017-02-08
You still haven't told me what specific Major Psychological Issues you'd diagnosed him with.
Stressers made his Method Acting become his source of escaping and later in the movie full blown avoidance coping and there is no way for you to prove otherwise.
Have you actually watched the movie?
Maybe rewatch it?
You don't get to pick what offends people.
I'm offended by your slandering of his proud racial heritage that you still haven't apologized for.
Why do you feel the need to whitewash Jewish people?

n/a Mort_DeRire 2017-02-08
I didn't attempt to diagnose him with anything, dumbass, but it was very obvious his obviously irrational behavior was due to psychological issues.
Guess what, stress disorders are psychological issues. And nothing you've stated there contradicts what I've stated, in fact it's exactly what I've said. I'm surprised you didn't toss an "oh, honey" on to your unjustified snark, which is the calling card of simpletons.
I can pick what's rational and what isn't. Also, this thought process is so pathetic I'm starting to think you're a le trole.
n/a Imgur_Lurker 2017-02-08
Pick One.
So you are going with a stress disorder?
Not Identity issues?
You know what Psychological Issue
Is or are you just yet another dumbass Reddit Armchair psychologist?
Because you've missed the mark and it's entirely possible he didn't need to "desperately" be somebody else and in fact there is an entire scene that makes it clear what Issue he has.
You know you are the one who is all butthurt and insulting not me right :)

n/a telandrias 2017-02-08
Yep.
I actually watched the movie when the outrage occurred like a year ago. Pretty funny actually. Everyone in the movie is an outrageous stereotype... in the first fifteen minutes or so. As soon as you get past skin deep character introductions it starts to derail.
The main character hosts some youtube show (or maybe local college radio it's been a while) complains about everything, gets in a flame war with another youtuber, and then basically stirs shit up on campus forcing people to react to her.
She even dates a white dude, is ashamed of it, and admits she's confused about her identity and basically promises to stop being a dramanaut near the end. Some guy rigged the vote for black council leadership or housing leadership or whatever for her college, propelling her into some actual voice. Later on she takes advantage of calling for a stupid protest and doctoring email invitations to a white guy's frat party to show up as black caricatures.
In the end, I think the movie was a solid 4/10. It had some funny parts, almost making fun of outrage culture more while it promoted itself as knee-jerk reaction. It tried to be satire, moving towards reasonableness throughout the film and away from the extreme stereotypes in the beginning but it wasn't done very well and was pretty much lacking in every department.

Bama was paying him something like $35k a year. The Atlanta job will pay a fuck ton more than that.

no fucking way. Top tier college coordinators are making 300k-1.2 mil a year nowadays
n/a wwyzzerdd 2017-02-08
Look it up there are many sites reporting his yearly salary as $35k.
He was given a bonus of $70k for January for filling in for Kiffin. Obviously if Kiffin hadn't left he wouldn't have gotten the extra loot. But that's beside the point say he got the 70k and the 35k normally, that's still less than the Falcons will pay.
n/a LSU_Coonass 2017-02-08
that was his salary as an "offensive analyst" once he signed on as o-coordinator for next year he wouldve been making at least 500 grand.
n/a wwyzzerdd 2017-02-08
Right but he wasn't making 500k, and its possible he wouldn't be named OC or get the 500k next season. But Atlanta comes knocking with cold hard cash.
And given the outcome of Sarks one time as OC its hard to say he would be rewarded as well as Atlanta is offering.
Meanwhile Kiffen leaves the #1 team for the past decade to go to South Flirada PolyTech and Welding College.

/r/Drama is actually an internet cult and they meet most of the criteria needed for being a cult. The way in which they effectively serve as an internet cult is that it is possible for anyone to easily join the cult so long as they have an internet connection and a reddit account and are willing to do exactly what they are told by the /r/Drama moderator hierarchy and the people who control and run the subreddit. The worst thing about /r/Drama, however, isn't that they have their own shitty subreddit that makes zero sense to the outside world and to those who are sane and don't believe in the views of social justice warriors and radical feminists. The worst thing about /r/Drama is that they and their friends from other like-minded subreddits on reddit - with the cooperation and unspoken support of a few reddit administrators - have managed to turn reddit into Digg 2.0 where a clique of users who are chummy and friendly with each other have managed to take over a very large portion of this website. The users who have turned reddit into Digg 2.0 and who threaten to ruin the site are what I and some others who understand the situation have come to know as and refer to as "metareddit cancer." I have taken it upon myself to go ahead and create the subreddit /r/metaredditcancer to act as a watchdog that chronicles everything that this cabal of reddit users are doing to turn reddit into Digg 2.0 and - in particular - to turn the site into a place run by social justice warrior and feminist moderators who tolerate no deviation from their beliefs in the numerous subreddits that they have come to control as moderators. My hope is that after reading this comment of mine that you will subscribe to /r/metaredditcancer so that you can stay well-informed about a very serious situation that has arisen - largely unknown to most users - on this website so that we can all gain a greater understanding of what a powerful cabal of agenda-driven users are doing to and have done to this site that we all love. I am a long-time user on reddit who has intimate and in-depth knowledge of this cabal and who has modded multiple subreddits both large and small, who has been intimately involved in discussion with this cabal of users regarding their control of reddit, who knows what their agenda is and what they want to do with their power and control, who has sat in their private discussions in internet chat rooms, who has seen leaks from their private subreddits, and who has absolutely had enough of what they have done to reddit and of what they will continue to do to this site unless the rest of this site is exposed to who and what they are and what their endgame is. What happened to Digg and what has happened to 4chan very recently is undeniably and positively what is happening to reddit now and what has been happening here since 2012. The cabal of users and moderators who I refer to as "metareddit cancer" hail from the subreddits Shitredditsays, circlebroke, Braveryjerk, circlejerk, TheBluePill, SubredditDrama, SRDbroke, and Drama. This cabal of users are - for the most part - the moderators of these subreddits and these users also control many other subreddits with thousands and even hundreds of thousands of subscribers. They mod subreddits like /r/news, /r/politics, /r/worldnews, /r/Subredditdrama, /r/creepyPMs, /r/offmychest, /r/TIFU, /r/explainlikeimfive, /r/changemyview, /r/LGBT, and numerous other subreddits where they have managed to worm their way into moderator positions over the years and then go on to have total control over the type of discussion that goes on in their subreddits. They make sure that any discussion that goes against their social justice and feminist beliefs is censored and controlled and/or they mod their subreddits like ban-happy dictators who get rid of anyone who breaks the circlejerk that goes on in their subreddits every week. This is absolutely the case with offmychest, creepyPMs, and Subredditdrama. Maybe the worst example of their way of worming into moderator positions and destroying subreddits is that of /r/LGBT and how 2 transsexual radfem /r/Drama trolls - one of which has become infamous on reddit and other chan websites - managed to take control of the subreddit in 2012 and then acted like dictators and abused their power so badly that reddit's administrators had to be called into the drama. The admins refused to remove the two /r/Drama moderators, the LGBT subreddit went into meltdown because of them, and this led to the subreddit being ruined and people having to flock to the newly created /r/ainbow subreddit because one of the biggest forums for discussing LGBT issues on the internet was taken over by members of /r/Drama. This is the first notable time that /r/Drama and other metareddit cancer have taken control of subreddits and they've gone on to manipulate reddit's subreddit request system to bring even more subreddits under their control. They organize subreddit request attempts in private subreddits where they plan out their agenda and they do the same in their internet relay chat rooms as well. I can say with total confidence that there is no other reddit clique and group operating on this website that looks to take over and control as many subreddits as they can in a clear and indisputable attempt to control the flow of conversation so that conversations in any given subreddit always lean and kowtow to radical feminism and a perverted form of social justice. NO OTHER GROUP EXISTS that is looking to take over as much of this site as possible. One of the more troubling things that I have come to understand having been an intimately involved user of reddit for years, is that some of reddit's current and past administrators support and belong to this cabal of metareddit cancer. An administrator who was fired from reddit two years ago immediately was added as a mod of /r/Drama as soon as he left his admin role and made clear what some users had already known: he was literally a member of /r/Drama and as an admin he used his power to carry out /r/Drama's agenda. He routinely ostracized and terminated the accounts of (shadowbanned) people who posted in subreddits that /r/Drama want destroyed and now he sits as a moderator of /r/Drama. This is one of the biggest yet unknown bits of corruption in reddit's history yet you wouldn't know it because the subreddit created as a watchdog for this sort of thing - /r/Subredditdrama - was taken over by /r/Drama and reddit metacancer in 2013 and they censor discussion about themselves so that people aren't aware of what is going on. The takeover of SubredditDrama is one of the worst things that has ever happened on this website because of its 150K subscriber size and because the very people who are the problem that I am discussing happen to be in control of SubredditDrama. This is clearly a monumental conflict of interest given that anything nefarious that this group of users do cannot be openly discussed in SubredditDrama without their consent. What caused this cabal to come to be and what is it that unites them in their desire to control the site through moderator power and through cliques? A need for friendship that's lacking in real life. A # of users involved in this cabal are depressed, aren't "cool", are LGBT (more difficult to be included socially if you are a member of this group in real life), are social outcasts, or just want to have some internet friends because they spend a lot of time on this site. This last reason differs a bit from the other reasons and is different in that some users - a smaller number - belonging to this cabal get drawn into it without knowing what the agenda is and they simply just want some internet friends. However, they always cave to the agenda when it is brought up (perverted feminism and social justice and tightly-controlled, censorship-happy moderation in the cabal's subreddits) and so it doesn't matter that their intentions for joining the cabal were innocent. In the end, they always come around and you can already see how this is cult-like behavior. Anyone who doesn't toe-the-line and go along with the agenda is shunned or cast out. I've spent time talking to one of them who was cast out of one of the cabal's private subreddits after realizing that the nature of the cabal and "group of friends" wasn't innocent and that everything revolved around feminism, social justice, and the ego-driven desire to control as many subs as possible. The scary thing about my interaction with this cast-out former member is that the cabal looks to get your name and personal information. They do this through their everyday IRC chats and in Facebook groups where some choose to take friend requests with their real names. Others use new Facebook profiles with their reddit names. This cast-out user used his real account and he knows now that a reason why they send friend invites is so that you think twice about going against them because then they have your personal info and can come after you with threats at home, work, and anywhere else. What the users in the cabal do to gain entrance is act smug and superior (social justice, feminism, morality policing) to redditors. The cabal acts as their cool kids club that they weren't good enough for in real life. THAT IS HOW AND WHY THEY ARE FRIENDS AND WHAT BINDS THEM TOGETHER BECAUSE ANYONE CAN ACT THIS WAY. A cabal on Digg is what led to the deterioration of the site and is what led to the migration that saw users flood to reddit. I'll be damned if I watch the same type of behavior from a group of a few dozen users continue to move reddit towards becoming Digg 2.0. 4chan has been thrown into a serious mess like this after Moot gave mod positions to authoritarian mods in the last year who now control the site given his recent abdication as site admin. Let's not let this develop further on reddit because there's a point of no return.

Maybe the worst example of their way of worming into moderator positions and destroying subreddits is that of /r/LGBT and how 2 transsexual radfem /r/Drama trolls - one of which has become infamous on reddit and other chan websites - managed to take control of the subreddit in 2012 and then acted like dictators and abused their power so badly that reddit's administrators had to be called into the drama. The admins refused to remove the two /r/Drama moderators, the LGBT subreddit went into meltdown because of them, and this led to the subreddit being ruined and people having to flock to the newly created /r/ainbow subreddit because one of the biggest forums for discussing LGBT issues on the internet was taken over by members of /r/Drama. This is the first notable time that /r/Drama and other metareddit cancer have taken control of subreddits and they've gone on to manipulate reddit's subreddit request system to bring even more subreddits under their control. They organize subreddit request attempts in private subreddits where they plan out their agenda and they do the same in their internet relay chat rooms as well. I can say with total confidence that there is no other reddit clique and group operating on this website that looks to take over and control as many subreddits as they can in a clear and indisputable attempt to control the flow of conversation so that conversations in any given subreddit always lean and kowtow to radical feminism and a perverted form of social justice. NO OTHER GROUP EXISTS that is looking to take over as much of this site as possible. One of the more troubling things that I have come to understand having been an intimately involved user of reddit for years, is that some of reddit's current and past administrators support and belong to this cabal of metareddit cancer. An administrator who was fired from reddit two years ago immediately was added as a mod of /r/Drama as soon as he left his admin role and made clear what some users had already known: he was literally a member of /r/Drama and as an admin he used his power to carry out /r/Drama's agenda. He routinely ostracized and terminated the accounts of (shadowbanned) people who posted in subreddits that /r/Drama want destroyed and now he sits as a moderator of /r/Drama. This is one of the biggest yet unknown bits of corruption in reddit's history yet you wouldn't know it because the subreddit created as a watchdog for this sort of thing - /r/Subredditdrama - was taken over by /r/Drama and reddit metacancer in 2013 and they censor discussion about themselves so that people aren't aware of what is going on. The takeover of SubredditDrama is one of the worst things that has ever happened on this website because of its 150K subscriber size and because the very people who are the problem that I am discussing happen to be in control of SubredditDrama. This is clearly a monumental conflict of interest given that anything nefarious that this group of users do cannot be openly discussed in SubredditDrama without their consent. What caused this cabal to come to be and what is it that unites them in their desire to control the site through moderator power and through cliques? A need for friendship that's lacking in real life. A # of users involved in this cabal are depressed, aren't "cool", are LGBT (more difficult to be included socially if you are a member of this group in real life), are social outcasts, or just want to have some internet friends because they spend a lot of time on this site. This last reason differs a bit from the other reasons and is different in that some users - a smaller number - belonging to this cabal get drawn into it without knowing what the agenda is and they simply just want some internet friends. However, they always cave to the agenda when it is brought up (perverted feminism and social justice and tightly-controlled, censorship-happy moderation in the cabal's subreddits) and so it doesn't matter that their intentions for joining the cabal were innocent. In the end, they always come around and you can already see how this is cult-like behavior. Anyone who doesn't toe-the-line and go along with the agenda is shunned or cast out. I've spent time talking to one of them who was cast out of one of the cabal's private subreddits after realizing that the nature of the cabal and "group of friends" wasn't innocent and that everything revolved around feminism, social justice, and the ego-driven desire to control as many subs as possible. The scary thing about my interaction with this cast-out former member is that the cabal looks to get your name and personal information. They do this through their everyday IRC chats and in Facebook groups where some choose to take friend requests with their real names. Others use new Facebook profiles with their reddit names. This cast-out user used his real account and he knows now that a reason why they send friend invites is so that you think twice about going against them because then they have your personal info and can come after you with threats at home, work, and anywhere else. What the users in the cabal do to gain entrance is act smug and superior (social justice, feminism, morality policing) to redditors. The cabal acts as their cool kids club that they weren't good enough for in real life. THAT IS HOW AND WHY THEY ARE FRIENDS AND WHAT BINDS THEM TOGETHER BECAUSE ANYONE CAN ACT THIS WAY. A cabal on Digg is what led to the deterioration of the site and is what led to the migration that saw users flood to reddit. I'll be damned if I watch the same type of behavior from a group of a few dozen users continue to move reddit towards becoming Digg 2.0. 4chan has been thrown into a serious mess like this after Moot gave mod positions to authoritarian mods in the last year who now control the site given his recent abdication as site admin. Let's not let this develop further on reddit because there's a point of no return.

n/a Minimum_T-Giraff 2017-02-08
I fail too see how i can do more damage with two knives as i can only attack with one at the time properly. I could see a possibility of a better defense as i can use 2nd knife for deflecting incoming attacks.
But then the Yankee would get + 100 bonus which would be the end of me. Such and suggest a cloak and dagger approach with clock absorb 1-2 attack which hopefully gives me a window of opportunity to stab the guy in arse.

I AM VERY DISGUSTED AT THE WAY SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THEIR RACE IS SUPERIOR. NO ONE IS SUPERIOR OTHER THAN GOD. I MAY NOT LIKE SOME BLACK, HISPANIC, OR WHITE PEOPLE BUT I DO NOT HATE THE RACE AS A WHOLE. IF YOU WANNA LIVE IN THE DAYS WHEN TV WAS BLACK AND WHITE AND RAISE YOUR KIDS TO BE RACIST AND PREJUDICE AGAINST OTHER RACES THEN YOU'RE HARMING THEM AND KEEPING THEM FROM PROGRESSING. BLACK AND WHITE=GRAY AND GRAY=BORING!! COLOR AND ALL COLORS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!! WE ALL BLEED RED AND EVERYONE'S **** STINKS, SO UNTIL YOU BLEED GOLD AND **** DIAMONDS THEN YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. I AM AMERICAN OF PUERTORICAN DESCENT AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME THEN YOU DON'T LIKE MY KIDS AND IF YOU KNOW ME THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I DO NOT PLAY AROUND WHEN IT COMES TO MY KIDS. IMA LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT IF YOU WANNA POST SOME IGNORANT BS ON HERE THEN DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DELETE ME CAUSE I WILL GO OFF ON YOUR ASS. I HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE FOR IGNORANCE. FUNNY HOW BACK IN THE DAY THE WHITE PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE OR TRUST BLACK PEOPLE BUT THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THE WHITE PEOPLE'S HOUSE AND CHILDREN. I AM RAISING MY KIDS TO ACCEPT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE AND NOT FOR WHAT COLOR THEY ARE. WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY TO JUST GO BACKWARDS. I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT OBAMA CAUSE HE'S BLACK WHEN THE WHITE PRES DID THE SAME THING AND I'M TIRED OF REPUBLICANS THINKING THEYRE SMARTER THAN DEMOCRATS. I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS SEPARATION BS. WE ARE ALL HUMANS! WE ALL HAVE FEELINGS! I AM FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE AND IT REALLY HURTS ME TO THINK THAT I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE RACIST AGAINST A RACE OTHER THAN THEIR OWN. IF GOD WANTED THE WORLD TO BE FULL OF WHITE PEOPLE THEN HE WOULD'VE MADE IT THAT WAY. SOME MAY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ME TALKING SPANGLISH BUT YA LOVE EATING THAT SPANISH FOOD.THIS IS AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH WHICH MEANS I HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK SPANGLISH AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO COVER YOUR DAMN EARS IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR. HATING ANOTHER RACE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT OR BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID OF IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A BAD RACE NOR DOES IT MEAN YOU ARE BETTER THAN ANYONE. INSTEAD OF HATING WHY NOT TRY EDUCATING YOURSELF ON ALL THE DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES AND APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENCE IN ALL OF US. DON'T HATE CAUSE OF YOUR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. ONE DAY YOU MAY BE STUCK AND A BLACK OR HISPANIC PERSON MAY BE THE ONLY ONE AROUND TO HELP YOU. I LOVE ME AND I LOVE WHERE I COME FROM AND WHERE MY FAMILY COMES FROM AND NOTHING OR NO ONE COULD EVER MAKE ME WANNA BE ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN WHO GOD MADE ME TO BE. I'M GONNA STOP AND LEAVE IT AT THIS FOR NOW CAUSE I HOPE I HAVE MADE MY POINT. IGNORANCE ISN'T BLISS AND IF IGNORANT IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE YOU KNOW THEN I SUGGEST YOU LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE. WE ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE NATION UNDER GOD AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO LIKE IT BUT YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT SO WHY NOT MAKE PEACE AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT =)

n/a Che_Gueporna 2017-02-08
lol, no.
Seriously, just no.
We aren't talking about normal issues related to being poor or isolated occasions of mistreatment. Which is the current state of affairs.
We are talking about a deliberate and systematic program to oppress back people. Which actually happened. And no amount of whataboutism and wishful thinking is going to make it not have happened.
Is it really, really that hard to just nut up and admit that Jim Crow and segregation happened? Are you either that dogmatic, or that brainwashed that you cannot accept well documented historical facts?
n/a pm_me_your_furnaces 2017-02-08
It did happen and it was awful and destroyed a lot of black families. Just like how the justice system today is still destroying black families. The point is a lot of white and asian people have also been mistreated throughout the years. Do you think a guy like eminem was privileged?
We need to help people who get the short end of society not focus on their race
n/a Che_Gueporna 2017-02-08
See, here's where you are wrong.
There's not really a comparison between Jim Crow and the current levels of racism in the Justice system.
This is something special and unique about the instutionalized practice of racism that transcends mere issues of class and
No, but I don't think he had any family members lynched. Or had uncles telling him about when they weren't allowed to go to school, or vote, or live in the nicer parts of town.

Netflix has been taking some huge risks as of late with their TV show budgeting. Huge risks, as in giving large amounts of funding to relatively unknown directors and producers. It's how Stranger Things became a thing. Guessing it's also how we got Black Mirror.
n/a AllWoWNoSham 2017-02-08
Black mirror had three successful seasons on channel four in the UK, before Netflix grabbed it. The writers and directors are huge names, Charlie Brooker has been actively producing TV shows for the BBC since like the mid 2000s. What are you on about?

Legends of Tomorrow is one the shittier DC comics tv shows. It's super terrible.

Daredevil s1 is Marvel's best. Jessica Jones was 5 episodes too long.

I put Luke Cage between Daredevil s2 and Jessica Jones, imo. Was very disappointed with the last arc of Jessica Jones as well.

I mean, being rich is supposed to be advantage. That's like the whole point of it, unless you're some kind of godless commie.

Why?
n/a pm_me_your_furnaces 2017-02-08
Because white people don't have all the advantages
n/a Velvet_Llama 2017-02-08
White people have almost all of the advantages then. And white people are pussies when it comes to race. The statement stands.

n/a Tilting_Gambit 2017-02-08
/u/HedblomDesign are you equally appalled about make dress standards? The requirement for men to dress in shirts/ties and even more formal suits is not only completely ridiculous (ties serve literally no function) but completely biased. Why can't i wear a dress to Parliament if i want to? Totally outrageous. Why can women wear short sleeves to Parliament but I can't?
Or do social expectations happen to everyone, not just women.
You see an interviewer asking Scarlett about her dress. I see Scarlett lucky enough to be able to wear an individualised outfit and still get into a formal ceremony.
Your perspective lacks depth, honestly.

/u/HedblomDesign - why all that talk about women?
You don't consider white women 'people' at all, huh
Just fuck socks for you to ogle, abuse and talk down to. Got it.
n/a onionball2 2017-02-08
He stood up black womens right to wear pants in a world when women are not allowed to wear pants.
How on earth is that abusive against white women to stand up for someones elses rights?
Why do you spread this white power propaganda and lies?
n/a satanismyhomeboy 2017-02-08
Despite what you may have learned to believe on 4chan and reddit, women are actually people. "Dear white people" includes white women, so stop gaslighting the issue by talking about the rights of white women. This is a show about the prevailing and omnipresent racism that black people endure, so shut the fuck up about your precious 'white plight' for a change and listen, so you might actually learn something valuable that's not about white issues.
n/a onionball2 2017-02-08
I seriously dont know what you try to parody.
The user you talk about is standing up for all peoples right in a sea of racism. You are the only person talking about race. What are you on about?
n/a satanismyhomeboy 2017-02-08
>thread about a show called 'dear white people'
>'yeah but women though', implying white women aren't people as well, and the show is somehow not about them

n/a onionball2 2017-02-08
I dont follow you at all on point 2 and 3. Please begin from the start.
The point of the user you talk about is that
-'the risk of making people angry should not be an argument against fighting for your rights'
no one said this

this user is on a rampage about being against women being allowed rights. and is trying to fight back to keep women from having the right to wear pants.

Isn't this based on a movie and a book that was satirical in nature. I really hope it isn't as obviously racebaiting as it is in the trailer. There have been wose adaptations so I wouldnt be surprised if they co-opted the message to make it utter shit.
