I'm waiting until it's all done. I realized that it isn't worth it to tune in weekly in order to watch only about 5 minutes.I might have forgotten it existed.
Generalizing Texas based on systemic and institutionalized discrimination is totes just like... the institutionalized and systemic discrimination that leads to a young man being arrested because his Muslim background and brown skin turns his homemade clock into a bomb in the eyes of inept school officials and police.

Great, now Amell's taking a break from social media.
He has always disliked Twitter and vastly prefers Facebook. So I see him sticking to his Facebook account more often then both for a little bit.

According to him, claiming Texas has systemic problems when dealing with race is apparently profiling in the same way a 14 year old muslim kid with a science project (a clock) getting arrested for making a faux bomb is... He then further decided to go "Hey man, my wife is from Texas and people from Texas are nice to me!" as if that somehow disqualifies the fact that this kid was racially profiled and arrested as a potential threat.
His attempt to go "hey guys, being upset at Texas is just as bad" bit him in the ass and he got called out for it.
He posted a video apology and is gonna take a break from social media for a bit.
Amell equated individuals expressing no suprise the incident occured in Texas - a state with a long and well documented history of intolerance and bigotry of all varities- with the shameful actions of the educators and police involved.
It was a tone deaf response to public outrage and condemntation against the profiling and bigotry a 14 year old boy suffered simply because of his name and the colour of his skin.
I hope they don't fire him because of this.
I don't think anything that drastic will happen. Worst case scenario, he'll have to do a few PSAs.
Unlike most people who pull this, I don't get the impression he was trying to deflect away from legitimate concerns.
He apologized and seems to know that he fucked up. I guess he is taking a break from social media to let it all blow over and not open himself up to doing something stupid again in defense. So he is smart in that respect.
Amell vs Hulkster at Wrestlemania now.Maybe he should go speak to Hulk Hogan...
no shit? he's the lead characterHe won't get in trouble.
He won't get in trouble.
Nor should he.
He expressed an opinion that came from a good place and wasn't even that offensive. That shouldn't land him in trouble even if he is wrong.
Yeah, it's a minor snafu caused by either an inability to articulate the point or a lack of understanding of the bigger picture politics at play.
It doesn't even deserve the 6 page thread it's gotten as punishment.

New Flash poster?
So I've been catching up on the first season of The Flash during the summer reruns. Something I wondered about Barry just running to some pizza place and grabbing pizzas and running back, spending no more than a fraction of a second in the restaurant. How exactly does he conduct the transaction without incurring huge suspicions? Even if he paid with credit card, one would think the pizzas just abruptly disappearing might raise a few eyebrows. (And if he DID pay by card, then they have a name to go with it.)
I have no idea from where the little bit on Flash's left shoulder is from, left from our perspective, could be one the Blur's costumes from Smallvile. What is it?
Meanwhile, Cisco (Carlos Valdes) helps Joe (Jesse L. Martin) with his newly-assembled Meta Task Force.
