'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
One of the many, many distressing things that's become clear to me over the past few years is how much white people view Black athletes as a source of entertainment who should just shut up and be entertaining.
You see with actors too, regardless of race. Like somehow having a larger platform means you shouldn't have opinions.
My sister is raising her black grandson. The biggest reason I want to meet them is that he is a musical theatre nerd in rural western New York, which I can half relate to.
I am wondering if it makes people think of asking for mercy from the flag, which I think is what makes it so powerful. And it makes them angry.
kneeling is not only taking place during the national anthem anymore though. AND the kneeling during the anthem started at the suggestion of a veteran, because before that CK was just sitting.
If these people do also not have a problem with people TALKING during the anthem, changing the words of the anthem (Chiefs fans), yelling/whopping before the anthem is done (almost every NY sports event I have been to) - then they can STFU and I truly think their OUTRAGE is because they have heard from so many FOX/Hannity/Rush/45 hatemongers that they should be outraged.
And while they may not SEEM like racists - they are supporting and empowering people who are RACIST, so they are fine and fucking dandy with a racist system getting worse. I hate polite racists, speaking well and acting civil is not good enough.
It is so smoky here. And I just stood outside (masked) for like 90 minutes with my puppy and a friend's puppy and praying puppy is exhausted. But I can kinda feel a tickle in my lungs now like I need to cough. Ick.
Poboy sounds delicious msbelle.
I had other thoughts besides "yeah, kneeling always struck me as something respectful and if it were rando white guy kneeling they'd probably think it was amazing and insist REAL patriots kneel during the anthem!"
Has anyone been able to get in to the Princess Bride thing?
Just seeing the logo, -t. I think they are having issues.
I either get "server could not be reached" or asked to register again. Sadface
This link - [link] Still just logo for me.
OK, I finally accepted the 7th or 8th attempt to register...
