What exactly does 'coon' mean to them on Era? Like a race traitor or something? I've never even heard it used in that context. Is that some sorta hip hop verbiage?

its not hip hop, it's a 100% racial slur from slavery days translated from a Spanish term that means "building where slaves to be sold are kept"

it was very popular in the Minstrel shows

first black producer of a Broadway show btw, but no doubt this man has been cancelled for that long ago.

Born in Kentucky in 1865, Ernest Hogan got his start in minstrel shows, but he is best known for his innovations in music, which he dubbed “ragtime.” He became the first black producer and performer in a Broadway show, “The Oyster Man” (1907). But Hogan would dwell in the shadows cast by his 1896 hit, “All Coons Look Alike to Me.” He admittedly lifted the cakewalk rhythm from obscure backroom musicians and lifted the title from a line he heard sung, “All pimps look alike to me.” His variation tapped into the strong currents of racism in the U.S. and gave rise to a whole new sub-genre of ragtime called “coon songs.” A glut of coon-themed songs flooded the market after his smash hit.

so yeah whenever they are using it against black people, they are just being racist. full stop.

My younger family friends are falling into right wing/conservative rhetoric, how can I dissuade him

My family comes from Niger and I have many friends and family living in the states, like I did. Recently, two of my family friends(they are 16) have been posting questionable things regarding the protests. Like one of them told me this on why he doesn't support BLM movement and another one...

Poly/Open Relationship Support Thread

Hi Everyone, I recently revealed that I am learning about myself and might be identifying myself as polyamorous. My husband and I have converted our marriage into an open marriage (which is common here in Seattle). The thread did not go well as people teased me, but I saw some comments of...

Cliffs: OP is a straight married female and she develops feelings for a male friend, while she is happy her husband wants to suck the cock of his friend

OPs profile says male.

Oh man, the irony of some of these replies.

I didn't know the actual definition of bigot until a couple days ago, always just thought it meant something like "piece of shit". Now that I know, I can say that these people are some bigots.

 

[Tuff McNutt]

OPs profile says male.

IIRC him and the husband both have therapists and they are both seeing a couples therapist. Most people in the previous thread rightly pointed out that going poly is just a band aid to try and spice things up, but of course like most advice threads on ERA, the OP didn't take any advice seriously.

It's super odd to me, just given the general nature of Era. Almost like they have to be using it in a different sense? Like why would that word be accepted under their weirdo concept but not calling something like 'faggot', etc

Idk. I dont care all that much I guess

he had a funny and pointed way of explaining the racism of the fake woke entertainment industry.

See here's the thing I don't get, when did this Political Divide happen? Was it 2016 with Trump? i honestly don't see the big deal anymore, nothing bad has really happened since? Am I missing something?

Hell I remember when people did not give a fuck about politics and everything wasn't infested with it

Its always been there but it gathered massive force during the Obama years, particularly his second term.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

looks like they are going all in on trying to cancel the veteran who in self defense killed a lunatic carrying a AK-47

oh no "he has a misdemeanor!!!" oh this must be one of those "rules for thee but non for me" like every time a black man is killed you can't say ANYTHING about his arrest history but lol go on trying to demonize this man who was having an AK-47 pointed at him. guess that "rule" is fucking bullshit.

also "he's active military". which, i guess we should hold against him, for some reason? um?

most damning of all HE EXPRESSED HATE FOR BLM ON SOCIAL MEDIA

yep case closed, he is a murderer!

[Saruhashi]

Desperate.

They are so concerned with their relationship being seen as "woke" or special or whatever that they don't think to ask if it's actually good for them or the other people involved.

Dude admits he has jealousy issues.

I always found it curious that couples find themselves with a bit of boredom or unhappiness and think "it's not us that have some issues that need work, it's this well established tired and tested idea of monogamy that's TOTALLY wrong". Yet they almost always end up admitting there are issues and challenges and jealously etc so it's like "I was bored and now I'm just jealous so I guess that's a win".

Hey at least he can get brownie points on the internet for being cool with his girlfriend getting banged by other dudes while he gets friend-zoned by any woman he shows an interest in.

"I am very close to another person". LOL. OK.

I would guess that in a large majority these "poly" relationships there is a very unbalanced power dynamic.
Probably money is a factor a lot of times but mostly I would think insecurity, manipulation and fear of being alone are at play in so many cases.

I think the idea that "it's progressive" and "we are rejecting societies norms" are just rationalizations.
I mean, how is "were not doing what society wants" a selling point on a good relationship?
Same as "I don't want to lose her so..."
Or "I do feel jealous and angry but I push that right down because it's just toxic masculinity..."

At the end of the day when he first met his GF and started chatting her up and flirting and going on first dates etc I bet he wasn't thinking "I hope one day she will be fucking two other guys and I'll be sitting at home suppressing my feelings of jealousy and asking myself what those men have that I don't before concluding that it's not worth even thinking about". Yeah, sounds like a great time buddy.

Plus I don't really even see how it's less constrained than other "traditional" approaches.
Like, if you are outright deciding at the start who is the MAIN Relationship and then concocting a series of rules so that the Main Relationship is not violated then obviously there is still a strong element of control there.

So somehow you are allowed to go out and meet new people an develop feelings for them but once a member of the Main Relationship says "NO" you need to shut those feelings down right away. Like a fucking robot or something.

That seems awfully strange. Like really quite cold and harsh when you think about it.
So you meet a new woman and your relationship is poly so flirting and even sex is allowed cool.
Oh what's that? Your familiarity and rapport and chemistry are causing you to develop normal, natural, feelings? Your Main Girl says "shut it down, NOW" so throw that other woman in the bin like last nights leftovers.

There's another person there that posted about their husband, ALSO gay. "We're poly and so progressive" no you're not your just another gay guy that likes fucking around but now you've got bonus woke points for being married. Always check the profiles on Ree for context.

I should screencap that other guy that claimed to be "Solo poly", so you're a single guy that's a fuckboi? Well done you.

I was referring to post #22. Madison.
He refers to "gf".

I guess don't assume anyone's gender, though.

Yeah "solo poly" made me laugh too.

Everything needs to be special.

You can't just be single. You're "solo poly".
Can't just be not interested in anything just now. You're "asexual".
Can't just say you don't like sleeping around and would rather wait for something more serious to develop. You're "demisexual".

All with their own special little flags.

There has, over the last six months or so, been an unacceptable amount of hostility toward a group of people who are unpaid volunteers and we will have a longer talk about that at some point because that is not healthy for anyone.

EDIT: Anyone deciding to continue with said outright hostility is going to receive a hefty ban.

Meanwhile of GAF the worst thing that's directed at them (That we have visibility of) is that they are "Sony Ponies".

The coon thing.. my Dad is a massive racist and used to use the word a lot back in the 90s. That and wog were his preferred racial insults for black people (no I'm not going to fucking capitalise it) but he also had a fondness for using the word Paki if someone was from the Indian subcontinent. A truly hateful and unpleasant bloke, off his face on drugs more often than not. To see that same language coming from people who claim to be anti-racist just confuses the living fuck out of me.

it’s because the users think they have the balance of power in their favour, they’ve allowed them to talk shit about the mods for ages now so users just think it’s fine behaviour instead of being like normal that we’ve made this change and that’s that, there’s no discussion with the user base, you don’t need a “users summit” for introducing topic tags to have a million and one diverse voices screeching at their distain of the feature.

The biggest difference between us and them is that we recognise that not everyone is perfect and has done stupid shit in their lives and shouldn’t be cancelled for it......he might not actually be a shitty person once you remove the alcohol and reee as they are essentially enablers for what he perceives as a safe space when it’s actually the opposite

alcohol and drug addiction is a lonely spiral and reee is pretty much a jet strapped on your back into that dark place

He's been on a downward trajectory for a while, lashing out at people and making strange Twitter posts.

He does need help that's for sure but he seems to be against admitting it.

He deleted those tweets, no doubt after reading this thread, he really needs to focus on himself and not that toxic website. At this stage it's just sad.
