Thread being so long indicates it's almost nothing but fukkery.
How bad is it. I ain't tryna read it all.
It's the exact same cycle as the other N-word threads.

Ah so three or four people saying racism is dead, a few more blaming it on black people, and a few more on that "why can't we say it" with accompanying Chris Rock bit.

No Chris Rock bit, instead replace that with there possibly being hope for Bill Maher yet.

Watching the clip with him and Maher now. Shit is so uncomfortable for Cube because the way that audience reacted you can tell and he could tell that he got brought on to say "apology accepted". Like he just needed any hood certified black celeb to sign off on his garbage.
Made me really, really uncomfortable.
Made me really, really uncomfortable.
I am glade Cube said what he said, but at the same time it doesn't matter. Maher just wanted to take his licks and move on, learning nothing from the experience. Cube could have read the Tampa Bay phone book and it would have amounted to the same thing to Maher
Same. And Maher's dismissal, and the audience's reaction to him trying to make jokes during it, made the feeling worse.
Everything Maher did during this episode was part of his "mea culpa" act.
From the "I am just a poor sinner" nonsense during the open to the "evolving" bullshit.
When Cube brought up the redneck jokes Maher says, he dropped the act for a second, that was the real Maher. I still say he was forced to apologize and he would have dug his heels in if HBO hadn't forced him to.

Biggest reason nobody uses it in my house, really. Don't care if you're trying to use it as a term of endearment now.
Nah, not in my home, I know what people will use that word to do.
"Meowwww"
"Man stop that"
"That is the sound Black Panther make"
"No he didn't"

okay so i'm a bit drunk but i wanna get into some shit here, if ya'l will indulge me
i'm about the whitest dude in MIA & white flight cleared out most of us long ago, but you'd not know that from attitudes out here
by trade, i'm a firefighter/medic, but i got cut during the economic crisis about 10 years ago. i spent a few years working as a private medic after that, but there's no union so it's a shit job
to put myself through college in the day, i landed a job with my university's public safety dept - and years later, i was offered a gig basically doing security with said PD. it's a very small dept in a big city, but they mostly treat me well.
i've spent literally a decade waiting on my 1st choice FD to open up again - they cover all the right districts, they have a strong union, i'd not lose this job when trump/GOP makes this economy go tits up again/etc. and right now, i'm further in the process with them than i've ever been: passed the physical, submit my background, passed the psych etc. just waiting on the medical & a contract.
but years ago, while waiting, i debated working for this small PD - but i got in some trouble back then, and then ferguson happened & i saw another side of people i'd worked with for years and turned a blind eye to, and realized i could never be a cop. it's ugly, y'all....ive seen people on the "them" side literally had calls for backup delayed.
so on the low, i've worked with the closest BLM chapter we have - protested, supported, actively showed interest in helping start a chapter here in my hometown. but because i'm still in said background process, i've had to lay low.
...but it's been 10 goddamn years. a big part of me feels like that jigga line about "you are who you are before you got here" and i don't like biting my tongue so much, nevermind i'm reminded how if i'm gonna even try to be an "ally" than it's important i call out bullshit where i see it, right? but this place...it's the THIN BLUE LINE shit. i literally can't see winning hearts & minds here.
but i also can't help but wonder if my rationalizing that shit like "oh, i'll do more good when i'm past this" means not stepping up where it's hardest & maybe showing others it's okay to not ride for the same bullshit this place does. the few i care about enough to share this with tell me i'm doing right to lay low, but i can't help but feel it's cowardly: process/reality or not, i don't think i should only ride for shit when it's convenient. like, if i was on a call and saw actual injustice, i'd step in - but by not saying shit when recklessness is tossed about casually, do i not enable an environment for that to happen?
what do y'all think?
it's crazy cause i would've accepted far less in a series with a lineup like that, yeah

I can't say if you're doing the right thing Ninja, but you prolly doing the smarter thing. It's a fucked up world we live in, with an even more fucked up government backing it. As important as it is to help those in need and to get some changes made, you're really not helping anyone in general by making your own situation worse. I definitely get the internal struggle you're facing, but sometimes you have to look at reality for what it is.
Plus, you're doing your part to help locally with BLM protests/support/etc, which is a lot more than some other allies can say.
Good luck with that job screening, btw.
I had no expectations, and they blew me away. Damn shame there was no third game in the series.

Good morning all.
Crimson, Frozen, and Lightning I was hit with a PSN message bug so I'm not getting notifications of any messages on my PS4, mobile app, or the website client. :\ I know I was planning to play some OW with most of you all especially with double XP weekend.
Good afternoon Beefy. I hope all well with you.

It's cool dude. Hope your psn gets sorted out.
That thread about how safe was your neighborhood growing up brought back a bad memory for me.
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/31/us/neighbor-is-held-in-deaths-of-2-rhode-island-boys.html
That happened in my neighborhood, literally three streets from where I lived. That could just as easily have been me or one of my friends. I remember for a long time everyone's parents grabbing their kids the minute it got a little dark to get in the house. That was some scary shit man.
