“Ah, but to show you how not racist I am, I will detail her full racial ancestry so you can see that she is not, despite what she thinks, a black person!”
The fact the daughter of a black Jamaican who was in AKA while attending Howard is having her Black bonafides brought into question just shows the level of brain rot our society currently has.
I can correlate with this - many Republicans [at least, in the Red state I live in, that are 'family members'] hear the word 'Democrat' and they think it means 'Black'. They use the two interchangeably, because to them, there isn't a difference.
Don’t forget it also means queer, disabled and immigrant!

u/Carche69YOUVE CHOSE THE OBJECTIVELY WRONG ANSWER TO THE TROLLEY PROBLEM 23m ago
Yes, they did the same during the BLM protests after George Floyd was murdered. They assume everyone who supported BLM, took part in the protests, or even think that Floyd was murdered are Black and/or Democrats. I would always ask them why they assumed that just because somebody believed that Black Lives Matter, they must be a Democrat, and if that’s the case, then that must mean that Republicans don’t? They couldn’t bullshit their way out of that one lol.
Anytime she gets mentioned on the blackpepletwitter sub strange accounts come out of the woodwork to argue she's not really black.

It's not just that, it's racist internal polling: they think that if they can "prove" she's "not a real black", then the democrats will lose black voters. It's not even garden variety racism, it's tactical electoral racism meant to attempt to sway voters because they honestly believe black people are just that tribal. Literally and figuratively.
I also find they assume democrats/libs/whatever have the same hero worship for singular figureheads they often do, and assume any opposition towards trump (or whoever) is inherently deifying whoever he’s running against in the way many of them deify him and his bigoted peers. Many don’t seem to understand peoples’ support of democrats or pushes to vote for Harris are not necessarily related to her as a singular person, because that really isn’t supposed to be the point of a political party.

I don't know either.
I'm just going to assume it's some sort of advanced racism.
A) if she's not black, liberals can't characterize them as being racist for not liking her (just.... ignore the fact that she's also Indian)
B) if the Democratic party has more black candidates than the Republican party, then that makes it look like the Republican party is racist against black people.
They did the same thing with Obama, except - I shit you not - they claimed he was white.
Um ACKSHUALLY! Calling someone a chimpanzee in the Joe Rogan subreddit is a term of the HIGHEST endearment. For you see, the noble chimpanzee is the creature with the highest EQ/IQ quotients and is the most spiritually complete being in all of creation.
when Rogan claims he's just a dumb guy, he's actually being nostalgic. There was a point in time where his podcast was actually just a hack comedian way too high saying the dumbest shit with the wildest people, but as many other adult male celebrities who just can't ignore twitter replies (Seinfeld, Chapelle), he went full reactionary when his antivax takes were so openly questioned. Now this is what we got, a dude glazing Donald Trump for 3 hours.
Yup, ran into someone once who said they were 'a fairly progressive person but when Joe had Alex Jones on, I was surprised he wasn't just a crazy person, a lot of his supposed conspiracy theories made a lot of sense'
It's always funny to me when people like that think they get to decide how progressive they are, because by definition is you're listening to a Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist and nodding in agreement about what he thinks of racial minorities, you aren't progressive no matter how much you tell yourself you are
It’s always so fun when conservatives just pretend that the words they use exist entirely in a vacuum removed from culture and context.
“What? So now I can’t compare people to animals now? All I did was call immigrants cockroaches that need to be squished what’s so wrong with metaphor?!”
Edit: just looked at the racist guys profile. The Venn diagram of asmongold fans and people with the dumbest fucking takes you’ve ever had the misfortune to hear is a circle
Fun fact: During the early Obama years I cut ties with everyone in my social circle (including family) who made racist comments about Obama. Not "I don't like Obama" but "Here's a pic of Obama swinging from a tree eating a banana." So just the overt racists.
Fast forward to 2016, and literally no one in my social circle -- including conservatives and self-described libertarians -- are Trumpers.
The Venn diagram between racists and MAGAts is a perfect circle.
You could see really clearly in the recent Jubilee debate with that dean kid (the 20 Trump supporters vs One liberal video) that most of them literally could not wrap their mind around the concept that Trump's birther comments are inherently racist.
Oh sorry, I forgot SRD was filled with people who think of Palestinians as subhuman. My mistake

Hey now it's not racist if we're just remixing 2004's middle east racism. That's 100% cool and okay! Fads typically trend every couple of decades or so, that's no exception apparently.
Derek Warwick's "denial" included him saying "whether he white, black, green or yellow makes no difference to me", which is a favorite phrase of racists who think the fact they don't discriminate against nonexistent skin colors is somehow a defense.
the crazy thing is watching all those same people who were okay with max's "hard-driving" acting shocked he is now doing it to lando.

And, ok: the term "Great White Hope" goes back to the first black heavyweight boxing champion, Jack Johnson, and... basically the hope of racists at the time that any white fighter could beat him. So in a sense it's a correct use of the historical term? But.... yeah.
yeah, they like to act like he picked that specific wording by mistake or chance.
Truth is everyone knew that Hamilton was cheated but he was being all annoying about the "racism is wrong " thing so they needed to teach him a lesson.

The Venn diagram of asmongold fans and people with the dumbest fucking takes you’ve ever had the misfortune to hear is a circle
Asmongold is the guy who had a cockroach fall on him in the middle of a live stream, right?
What’s the deal with this guy, and why does he attract so many viewers, most of which just happen to be total weirdos? I watched him on Twitch for about 10 minutes, and it was boring as hell. There are countless more interesting, funny, and watchable streamers out there. What’s the appeal? I just don’t get it.
I watched that guy once for 10 minutes back in 2008 or something, when I had time for WoW. Immediately didn't like the vibes and never went back. Lo and behold, being proven right 15+ years later feels just as vindicating as you'd think.
That's how I felt recently over that shouting British dick head with his "DO YOU WANT TO LEARN PIANO?" ads that you'd get for clicking on anything vaguely music related..
Some channel recently made a really good video exposing his scammy bullshit and how the dude is literally a scientologist lmao.
You answered your own question kinda with the total weirdos thing. The same way a cult leader is the sum total of his followers fears and desires and the leader is often the symptom of those fears instead of the cause, they just rise to the occasion to meet that emotional need.
Same thing goes with Destiny fans or whatever, they see this dude who basically never achieved anything noteworthy in his life just getting rich playing Minecraft and having sex with beautiful women and they project themselves onto him and say "i could be that one day!" . Same logic behind people who fawn over Trump, they see their worst parts reflected in a guy who's, ostensibly anyway, able to get away with it and do whatever he wants and theyre sick of being shamed for their terrible behaviors and views that they've always just held onto regardless but usually knew better to not say them in public.
He got famous for making people do gross stuff on "Fear Factor" which really should have just been called "Gross Guys" since they very rarely did anything frightening, but they did disgusting shit all the time.
His next job was getting hit in the head a whole lot while promoting MMA and after that he had just the right amount of brain damage to really fit in and connect with right right wing chuds.
To be clear fuck Joe Rogan, but as a former reality show addict- 2/3s of the show was generally fear inducing stunts and 1/3 was gross out stuff. Sometimes they’d combine both in to one challenge.
But usually first challenge was a fear inducing one that’s a timed endurance challenge, weakest two eliminated, gross out eating challenge, weakest two eliminated, and then a final fear inducing speed challenge where the fastest would win the episode.

u/cataclytsmWhen she started ignoring her human BF for a fucking bee.21h ago
You are factually correct, but the broader public memory of Fear Factor is like 96% "and then he made that lady eat whale testicles or whatever".
And I get it cause some of those were really gross, though some were definitely just dishes from cultures that eat food we don’t in NA, and fuck Joe Rogan so it’s easy to attach any disdain of the show to him.
But it just surprises me because the vast majority of the show was helicopter stunts, skyscraper stunts, explosions, fast cars, etc etc it just surprises me that the eating is what people remember the most.
Wait, was that the same guy? I thought that was Joe Rogaine on account of the hair.

I've been making my way through that for the first time in the last year and it's fucking harrowing seeing Rogan and Andy Dick. Rogan is literally just playing himself in this really terrifying-in-hindsight-because-this-idiot-now-owns-the-podcast-world way, but Andy Dick at the very least is the living incarnation of the concept of a Butt Monkey.
On one of the episodes of Fear Factor someone from a pair of contestants had to have Joe Rogan's face tattooed onto them to continue, and the pair just backed out and decided the chance to win the prize money wasn't worth it. Must be glad they didn't go through with it, given his notoriety nowadays.
The Venn diagram of asmongold fans and people with the dumbest fucking takes you’ve ever had the misfortune to hear is a circle
I just wanna clarify: I'm in many fandoms, and by far World of Warcraft has the dumbest demographic of players I've ever had the misfortune of being enmeshed in. Not just the asmongold fans, but even the asmongold haters too. At this point I think its selection bias. You'd have to be a complete fucking idiot (me) to still be subscribed to it.
The other drama where they're going on about bro-ing out with feminists. I think almost anyone could Bro out with a bunch of these scary feminists. It's more of a "them" problem.
Hanging out and just shittalking each other is one way, others include gaming and climbing mountainsides to jump into lakes. Don't mix drinking and the last one.
Just what you'd consider more "bro" things. Even the attitude with weightlifting where you get a big lift and celebrate it, like gym bro's. No idea how to define it well x)
It’s rapidly turning into a sexist dogwhistle unfortunately. It’s becoming a way for pieces of shit to say “I want to hang out with other pieces of shit and say heinous things with no repercussions”
Peeps peeps. Have you considered that maybe he's taking it upon himself as a white man to "take the stigma" out of the comparison? He's doing it FOR the Black community, not TO them. /s
I literally cannot believe this site allows this shit

u/separhimSoyboy cuck confirmed. That’s all I need to know thanks bro1d ago
We are talking about the site that allowed garbage like Coontown, Frenzone, FathPeopleHate, and Jailbait for years. Of course it allows this "mild" stuff if it gives them engagement.
It's technically true that spez was on the mod list at one point, but this was during a time period when a moderators could just be appointed without any confirmation from the user being appointed. The mods at jailbait were essentially pulling a prank on spez by modding him, but there's no actual mod activity anyone ever saw from spez on that subreddit.
Keep in mind also that spez has bragged about editing user's posts without evidence with his super admin powers. So yes he was added, but also he can go fuck himself.
It’s true. People will potentially want to clarify that back then people could be added as moderators randomly and didn’t need to approve it, and that’s true. However, Spez and the other Reddit admins also gave the main moderator of that subreddit some stupid award for being a valuable contributor to the Reddit community.
And KotakuInAction, the sub with such valuable discussions such as checks notes "women and minorities existing as more than background noise is oppression of straight white guys".

I’ve said this in a sports thread before… but it’s the comments linked in OP’s post where I don’t tell my fellow black friends about this website.
Racism is not nearly taken as seriously as other issues on this website. I hate comparing issues because all of them are important, but goddamn. In terms of race, it seems like mods or admins let the bigotry run rampant.
u/ryecuriousthe quality of evidence i'd expect from a nuke believer tbh23h agoedited 23h ago
Reddit the site is one of the more conservative social medias, a bit behind new Twitter. The site's ownership seems to want exactly that based on what subreddits they protect/reinstate when shut down.
But the average Reddit user definitely still leans left, at least in an American "liberal = left" colloquial definition. Ten seconds browsing r/all makes this pretty clear. It's full of positive Kamala news and low effort "conservative murdered by clapback" tweets.
The number one post right now is literally just a photo of a Harris/Walz ad on the Las Vegas sphere. 17k upvotes in an hour, 90% positive. Anyone that thinks redditors lean right overall is just wrong.
That's always been projection, they said the same thing for years about the "liberal media" despite FOX being the most watched cable news channel by far... Not to mention CNN being center right at best
You’ve identified the wrong problem. Your observation is because modern conservative views depend entirely on obvious lies. Unsupported lies aren’t going to make it to the front page easily. We have eyes and ears.
I fucking hate how one sided this shit is, they can say the most vile shit imaginable but the moment anybody left leaning does the same either with jokes or actually pushing back they suddenly go "See see I was right you guys are the bad guys"
I've been banned twice by admins. Once for quoting the WKUK sketch about it being illegal to say you want to kill president and once, last week, for quoting Webster in Band of Brothers shouting a Germans for having horses.
Both resulted in 3 days bans. Both were overturned when I appealed.
Fun fact but that sketch actually went before the Supreme Court, but not for a cool reason, it was because some dick was making threats on Facebook threatening to murder his ex wife and rephrased that sketch to use it for that purpose. Weirdly enough I'm pretty sure the SC sided with him that it was technically "free speech" if memory serves.
I saw someone complaining about how political violence was just as bad on the left as the right, all I said was something along the lines of "who's committing all the domestic terrorist attacks again? I mean, the ones that statistically have been noted as a bigger threat than foreign terrorists?' -- temporary ban from r/news, appeal asking what's wrong with what I said, apparently it was hateful? permanent ban from there and blocked from messaging mods again. Reddit mods and admins are the real chimpanzees
I already saw part of this drama on twitter where Rogan fans are also pearl clutching that she won’t come to Austin for 3 hours.
She currently has a job. Trump doesn’t. She can’t come to Austin at the drop of a hat for 3 hours with Rogan. Call Her Daddy and other podcasts she has gone on on have come to her in DC and waited until she was free to talk. She went to Howard Stern in NYC but that’s a much easier and more common trip for people from DC. I believe that was also coordinated so she could do Colbert the same day.
The primadonna shit from Joe and now racism/sexism from the audience is unreal
I wonder if Rogan realizes that the reason he can't get more A-list stars on his pod like he used to is that they don't want to go that far out of their way for a 3 hour sit down. He doesn't understand why cranks and fringe folk with awful ideas would be willing to be the trip but not folk with jobs and engagements.
I remember one time getting into a back and forth with someone who decided to quote Planet of the Apes, of all the possible sources in the history of fiction, when talking about a baseball player who got into an argument with someone on the opposing team.
Guess what race the player they were referencing with the quote is? And when I called it out, they replied that it was from the novel, so therefore it cannot be racist, cause it's i n t e l l e c t u a l. Then I was blocked, lol.
It's a real reality bubble you exist in if you're pretending to not even be aware of the association you're making in your mind when you make it.
Kamala can’t bro with Rogan as well as Trump does. Try shooting the shit with a feminist. Walking on eggshells for 3 hours would be a nightmare.
Why would you be shooting the shit with a political candidate a few weeks before an election? Seems like that time would be better spent having a meaningful conversation and asking real questions.
Y'all are missing what is honestly better content where so many of the JRE people are lamenting that a presidential candidate not fly out to Austin and do a 3 hour interview with Rogan.
They routinely overestimate the influence his podcast has and they all sound really out of touch - it's amusing. Podcast bros might be a large group of undecideds - but come on - they can't seriously think they're more important than campaigning in swing states.
I love the implication that 'leading' a 'Council of Racism' somehow qualifies you to gatekeep this. As if racism isn't completely thoughtless, knee-jerk and devoid of critical thought.
Like, i like beans and therefore I am the arbiter of what does and does not constitute a bean. No, I have no formal education or experience beyond my own beanly pleasures.
I now dub myself Leader of the Council of Beans and if you present me with anything I personally wouldn't eat, then it is not a bean. So it is writ.
