nobody familiar with The Man Show, a show which (if i recall) ended each episode with a montage of women jumping on trampolines
would be offended by any of their skits
but like Franken and others from the responsible side of America
sometimes this shit is a good time to say 'my bad' and disappear for awhile

I think you guys are missing the point haha. The data is pretty clear that "black sounding" names will receive fewer callbacks when it should be a coin flip.



And maybe that can be part of the solution. However, many people such as Ghot think that there is NO PROBLEM at all.


It was out of sight out of mind so I agree that people like me are part of the problem. I think everyone agrees that OVERT racism is bad but you don't really see it that much anymore.



I think it has to do with messaging. When you call someone a racist, you conjure up images of the KKK. White people are not that as a whole. Are white people being overly sensitive? Probably. But we have immense political power so we need to be treated with respect if we're going to be part of the solution. There are ways to discuss this that won't cause people to shut down. When you have lib-cucks using the term "Nazi" for anyone who disagrees with them, people just stop listening.

Vietnam ended due to political pressure. You can't point to a single event but things like Kent State contributed to the end of the war.

And like I said, things are ALREADY changing. Before the election this year, over half the states will have passed meaningful police legislation. How is that not "working through the system?" Obviously that won't be "enough" for some people and it will be "too much" for others, but that's the democratic process.

Yeah you don't see the big R - Racism anymore, but we see lots of little r racism all over, and some things that blur the line.

I'm glad that the "liberals see racism everywhere wahhh" trope is dieing out as the moderates come around to what should have been obvious the entire time though.

to be fair i think many moderates are pandering to avoid perceived backlash. but time will tell.

I mean, I don't think it's dying out. You still have things like Jussie Smollett, "cultural appropriation," etc. I do think "little r racism" is difficult to find. If it was easy to find, we'd have consensus. Racist events lie on a spectrum and you need events like George Floyd so that people can re-calibrate. Liberals will always be the ones who see racism where there isn't any and conservatives will always be the ones who don't see it when it is there.

The solution to every problem will come from liberals, because the ability to change is the diving line between a liberal and a conservative position.

Liberals will come up with all new ideas, good and bad, and we will weed out the bad ones and keep the good ones.

Conservatives will provide a baseline resistance to avoid implementing the bad ideas, at the cost of always opposing good ideas as well.

Lots of people interpret this as "liberals are stupid her der look at how they see racism everywhere" or "conservatives always support nazis and refuse to see problems" and both of these have some merit, but without also including the big picture are dumb.
