I suspect that 10 year bullshit was a compromise to the Republicans. But it doesn't help that the last full time white man in the spot (James H. Billington) pretty much wasted 28 years (was appointed during the Reagan administration) fucking around and hanging out with big wigs and never brought the Library of Congress up to speed with the growing technology.
And a moment for David S. Mao, the Asian guy who was the interim person after Billington retired.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just reup the current person until they get tired of the job.
Do they have to have hearings confirming this position?

I'm amazed y'all still posting in race threads. I've washed my hands of it. I've informed people on what they can do and what they can read to inform themselves. If they choose not to, that's on them.
Y'all some fighters.

I could just be making shit up but I think the term limit would help make sure that new people cycling in every so often will help keep it modern or at the very least more closely-aligned with the times.
She's cool for that because she saw what was going on and called the audible on some Peyton Manning shit. I thought they were going to harass me for a good 10 minutes.

I got a PM a little while ago from someone who actually learned something from what I said in one of those threads. You're right that it's pretty much perpetually talking to a brick wall but sometimes a pebble breaks off. I do plan to take a long damn break soon though lol

I have "fun" because I seem to attract the craziest unhinged responses and I've kinda come to accept that as a gift.

Nice. And simultaneously fucked. Feels like this kind of evidence of racial bias is overflowing but everyone ignores it.
Been using Twitter to drop woke interludes on people randomly throughout my week. Shit has been largely positive, just trying to provoke thought in others because so much of our day to day grind is devoted to mindlessness.
Encountered the one former co-worker who felt like I was targeting her with the tweets, and she proceeded to give me a lecture via DM about how I was spreading racial hate by supporting BLM and speaking about my family's links to the Black Panthers. I can understand why people can't stand some liberals now. She fully did not understand how condescending, demeaning, and dismissive that shit came off. I screenshotted the shit, blurred her name and photo, and reposted them for her to see exactly how stupid, shortsighted, and ridiculous she sounded. The results are on-going, but I'll delete them when she gets the point.
Why do people think they need to tell black people how to feel and how to act? That paternalistic bullshit needs to stop.

If I were in your position, I'd go for The Infiltrator even though I've heard that was a C/C+ movie just because it sounds the most interesting. Shallows after that. I think ID looks abysmal.
thanks.
Yeah i think if I were interested in plots only i would choose that order as well.

My Twitter has been vapid for weeks now. I'm just tired of being tired. I'm a fighter but feel like if it's all I do in light of all these tragic events I'll implode. Right now I'm all about preparing for my BJJ tournament, Pokemon Go, playing music, and my relationship. Not in that order. It makes me feel bad because a lot of my heroes and heroines don't quit and keep fighting. I'm just sick of the bullshit and just tired.
It makes me feel bad I'm putting everything behind me, including the recent protests. I'm just tired of protesting and nothing being done.
I know the fire will reignite some time but right now I'm all about living my life. Even if that life could be in peril because I'm a black woman.

BLM is seriously the best litmus test to out diet racists within liberals, especially if they're blocking traffic.
The supposed liberal GAF gets majorly exposed everytime. It'd be kinda beautiful if it wasn't also completely sad and expected.
I really think for a lot of people loving weed and same-sex marriage is all they think they have to be considered "liberal"

Found out ages ago that most white liberals are phony and full of shit. Katrina was eye opening.

I can only imagine.
Like the ruckus over BLM folks wanting to have some racial minority on meetings blows my mind, I mean I'm white and would absolutely love to get more involved with supporting BLM and I understand that part of supporting means stepping back and letting them talk amongst themselves.
The idea that they need to let white people in or face loss of support is mind blowing to me. Allyship isn't conditional

I do believe you have a good point. It just sucks that they changed the rules just as the sista gets in.
Anyone see the speech from the beginning of the ESPYS last night? I could pick with the speech, but I won't. I think those four gentlemen did an excellent job. I also would love to see the reactions of anyone over the age of 50 who heard LeBron call Muhammad Ali "the GOAT". ("Why is he calling Ali a goat?")
Also, this is what probably happened backstage:
Melo: Bron, did you get that tux from American Commedore Tuxedo?
Paul: His mom picked it for him.
Wade: Nah, his mom woulda picked a tux for Delonte West.
Bron:

So...my workshift is now racially divided socially now because of the dumb shit said last week from both of the black men killed to the Dallas shooting. I lost alooooooot of respect for many people. It was already low, but I could go the rest of my life without seeing them again. Mind you, I'm in the military and this ignorance is flowing around.
I literally only look forward to being at home, at the barber shop, or playing outside now. Everything else bothers me.

Went on a long FB rant. Just had someone message me about my thoughts. He posted some link from a black cop giving the typical statement.
You never know. You may help that person become more enlightened. Walking is a step by step process. I know I wouldn't have the same views without this board.
I know it's frustrating but we all gain knowledge from someone else. Someone else wrote that, made that, showed you the way.
I only say this because I have energy. But then again, I feel like that's how I can contribute. I've gotten to a point that I'll build my own bubble of racism. Kick out unreasonable people on the extreme. I know we should be against bubbles but FB is kinda private to me. And I get enough of their shit from other sources. Fox News on the TV at work. I'm in the heart of Fox news land. People arguing that Obama is the worst president at work.
Let me take that back. I'm not in a bubble. I can't help but hear their shit.

Ha. It was good from the perspective that Melo and others have been itching to say something. They can be used for good, is my hope.
I suspect that large numbers of stupid quotes (not necessarily last night) is related to privilege, indifference to fully know a topic and distance from the actual topic. Stars are too far away. Taking private planes. We shouldn't expect them to give reasonable thoughts. So, I'm just glad they did. Glad Melo is contributing anything. Glad Bron has decided to not be like Mike. Glad Wade is at the do not give a fuck stage. Glad CP3 has a soul. Keep hearing he's a beast on the court, emotionally and as a leader. Damn near hard to work with.
So, the 4 of them deciding to do something, and looking towards Ali and not Jordan is a great step. And it helps that Bron just won a chip. So, it was really the Lebron show and not the nutkickers carnival.

Grew up around a lot of white dealers. There was one day where one's cousin came to town, opened a bag and dumped what I would call a 2 foot mountain of powder on the dinner table..it was fucking insane. The shit only lasted a little over a week! I don't understand how folks do that nasty shit..no offense to y'all booger sugar lovers..

That article fucked up a really pertinent ASAP Ferg reference since they didn't call it a Cocaine Castle. It even has the lyrics "Doctors in their suits at this cocaine castle"

I'm really excited for that new Nintendo Classic console. I missed a bunch of NES games and I can play a bunch for cheap. In mentioning throwbacks, don't forget to vote in the games of the 4th generation thread.
