That's some fucking stupid slang right there. Its like a meme version of schooled, even saying it out loud in a sentence is cringe.
 
Joe Walsh REALLY doesn't deserve a national platform of any type.

He's actually worse than David Duke. At least Duke admits he's a white supremacist.

After watching that, I was angry with the middle lady. What the heck woman? Respect this guys ideas and feelings? How about no, Angela was correct, why bring that guy to talk with her?

privileged, living in a bubble etc. I couldn't tell if she was playing the straight or genuinely lost but regardless as a host she should know better about her slate.

But she doesnt really have to think about those issues

it was only good enough for gamers, and gamers were a mistake. I know no one who openly and proudly claims to be a gamer. So owned, powned, pwned and all variations are therefore declared to be lame.
 
"The b word" lol

Are they really putting "bigot" on the same level as "nigger" these days on US TV? I'll just go ahead and hope that's just CNN. The host's pandering to Walsh in general is so weird.

That shit was mind boggling at every turn. Why can't we say BIGOT? Why can't we call Walsh out for just making shit up and defending by saying it was just his opinion? Why can't people in this thread not fucking insult someone's choice of slang? what in the world all around.

All the yeps that ever yepped.
 
We need more of this. People​ need to be called out for their bullshit. I was disappointed the anchor decided to be neutral with that respect each other garbage.

The fuck. Respect a self proclaimed bigot? Fuck outta here.

Also didn't surprise to see that cunt try and frame Angela as a 'angry black woman'. Cunt.

I think she was just trying to be dramatic. Brooke does that all the time. She's one of my least favorite anchors on CNN.

"Sonned" predated "owned" by a decade or more. The hell are you all talking about? Pretending its some new thing because you just now found out about it?

I guess he flirted with her? I don't want to listen to the entire podcast. I can't stand that guy.

I remember hearing bougie/boujee a lot back in the seventies and very early eighties, and then it just vanished for awhile. Lots of words do that. I was dying laughing when someone suggested "swank" was a modern term the other day.

Bougie is a uniquely African American term that's derived from bourgeois and used against other African Americans. The term has never disappeared and has been in use in African American communities and media for decades.

I also have never heard it until this thread and I've been alive 30 years. Maybe it's a regional thing?

It's definitely a regional thing, and combined with the fact it's a really common term generally used in a completely different way is why so many of us did a double-take at the title. (It's not actually that we're all a bunch of ignorant white people, hard as that is to believe. I mean I am, but I'm sure a bunch of the other confused posters here aren't.) And while I'm not going to test it, I bet Nadsat thread titles would lead to much greater confusion. (Would probably be a funnier meme than the Thor 2 thing, at least.) I'll definitely agree that it was totally understandable in context, but hey, word policing is just one of those fun internet things.

Angela Rye comes off well in the video -- I love how goddamn angry she looks, right off the bat -- but Joe Walsh's arguments are so stupid and revisionist that it's honestly a waste of time to watch. His dumb shit needs to be repudiated, I'm glad she did so, but I honestly feel dumber for bothering to listen to it in the first place.
 
Joe Walsh is a mess.

lmao at the people offended at "sons" in this thread, get out of your ignorant bubble.

The host going all "why use the B word" and respectability politics was some self-righteous bull.

I read the OP and thought "Oh man, Joe Walsh is a racist? He always seemed so cool in interviews" and then I watched the video and realized it's not the dude from the Eagles and oh yeah I'm really fucking old.

Lol I had the same thoughts about the Americas Most Wanted host. Was like damn I thought he was one of the good guys.
 
how do people like joe walsh exist...

how can you look at this mess and think Obama was held to a lower standard.. If Obama did one of the things Trump has done, just one, it'd have been over for him. He was the most squeaky clean president in history - I think ever - and was still called every name in the book and had every rumor spread about him and was hated by a significant portion of the country

No one is offended at the way the word 'sons' is used here, it just sounds stupid or cringe to some of us. And life goes on
 
Never heard of her before but she was awesome. Although when he was asking her if it was possible to be critical of Obama without being racist she should have said yes. Because all of us liberals have been fairly critical of him over the years.

Uh, no one is coddling racists here. Fuck outta here with that. I'm saying that in order to rob them of their weak ass "don't call me a racist" defense, which is used to influence and distract viewers from the fact it was indeed a racist statement, single out the comment as racist. The audience who's watching probably doesn't know shit about Joe and what all he has said and done. She was accurate in calling him a bigot, but the viewer doesn't have enough receipts to agree wholeheartedly with the accusation and thus become sympathetic to him.

Having dealt with my fair share of bullshit, I've gone from doing the former to the latter, and it's been very effective. I wasn't calling "them" a racist, but what they said. With that defense no longer being in play, they had to confront it and answer for what they said. I knew from the moment she called him a bigot it that he was going to take that and use it to distract and it's exactly what he did. It's pathetic and embarrassing that they have to be treated like children, but in my experience, it's been effective.

The fact is, until White America can collectively pull their heads outta their ass and actually discuss the issue of race openly and honestly, we as POC have to be calculated in our approach if we're going to engage. It ridiculous and it shouldn't be that way, but here we are.

And for the record, I absolutely love Angela Rye and she had an amazing presence of mind here.
 
As a resident of Illinois I'm embarassed this racist buffoon was birthed out of our state. Fuck the teaparty.

Btw, the moron ran against Tammy Duckworth and lost, who is now a US senator.

This. So many White people shut down as soon as you call them racist. Judge the act and hold them accountable for what they did or said that was racist, and not the the person and call them a racist that devolves into us speculating who they are as a person and distracts from from us holding them accountable for what they said or did.
 
Okay, okay...oh my gosh...when it comes to this "sonned" debate, we're all talking over each other. No one...no one can understand what anyone's saying. I think we heard from both sides, I'm just sorry, I had no idea it would go this way...but I do appreciate hearing two very different voices on something very, very important.

Let's just please, let's just please be respectful to one another.

Agree with what you're saying here. Once a person is called a racist, they're going to get defensive. Nobody is going to be like "okay, yeah I see what you're saying and I'm cool with being labeled a racist." It's something that, while probably true, is going to take the conversation away from what they said into you attacking their character and next thing you know they'll bring up they got a black friend and here we go.

That said, I don't have a problem calling things or people racists but in conversations with people, that's going to distract from the content of what they're saying.

Seriously, complaining about slang that is likely as old or older than you is weird.

Gotta love how they always try to turn it around as if they weren't the ones to bring up race first. Disappointed that the host didn't call him out on it. I mean, she read the tweet herself, out loud. He brought it up, not her.

So frustrating to watch. I do think it would go a long way, in an effort to disarm people from these weak ass defenses, is to instead of calling him a bigot for that tweet, is to say that the tweet itself is bigoted.

"I didn't say YOU were a racist, I said you made a racist statement. Now defend it or rebuke it."

Fuck this nonsense too. the man said that the bar was lowered for Obama because he was blac, you think he suddenly going to change his mind if we give him a warm blanket, and some tea and tell him "it is ok, we black folks are no angels but..."

It isn't about changing HIS mind, it's about making sure the viewer doesn't get distracted by bullshit defenses. Even the host falls victim to it.
