Theres got to be a way we can make a graph depicting the correlation between race and enjoyment of Luke Cage. I honestly think that show was so black that white people felt left out and gave up.

Yes. I finished it today. Interesting and very informative. I had no idea the US held 1/4 of the world's prisoners and wasn't quite aware about store products being made by prison slave labor.

I also want to read The New Jim Crow now and about Asata Shakur and Angela Davis.

I think that part messed me up the most. I used to work at a university and they were only permitted to purchase furniture from state suppliers. I found out later it was prison made items. After seeing the documentary I couldn't believe that all those companies were in on it too.

People spend so much time in an up roar about poor work conditions over seas, when wild stuff is happening underneath our noses.

Here's what I hear people suggesting: The generation that's in power when immortality get's figured out will probably stay in power forever. Of course that same person also suggested our generation will just miss out on that opportunity.

Well whoever gets immortality first is gonna probably stay in power because then they can easily kill the opposition like a secret modern day vampire. Shit, I should write that story tomorrow.

Immortality is a bit of a crapshoot. Nothing is built to handle that.

Aw, sorry. You can always ask if confused. Seems lately it's been a fair bit about this documentary on Netflix called 13th. THAT and Luke Cage, another show called Atlanta. And feel free to post about something you want to talk about. We get lost in fighting games, bad jokes, and even worse jokes. 😒 I apologise.

Ethnicity is not a race!
So...

I am having to step away from the political sphere around me for a sec. It seems that folks swing either far left, or far right, and its just... tiring.

Why does the presidential election bring out the worst in people?

1) Like anything with "sides" (Sports, Gaming companies, etc) you're going to be dealing with a competitive environment and the behavior that comes with having sides.

2) People in general put more importance on presidential elections since it's the "top" elected office vs State and local offices.

3) Because of 2, Presidential elections get more TV/Internet coverage, which means more exposure and more investment for people watching the coverage.

4) TV/Internet coverage of the elections has also become influenced by "sides", allowing people to choose coverage that fits what they want to hear, in addition to being available 24/7.

5) One of the "sides" has imploded this election (arguably they have been imploding for a while), creating lots of material for the coverage and pushing people on both sides further one way or the other.
