Welcome to Thunderdome

Hand to god..... when I see someone driving amazingly recklessly through the city, it's about 80% a black fellow.

I assume they're just constantly angry about white people and are taking their frustrations out on the gas pedal.

As many of the comments point out, that chart is garbage. It compares police stops and traffic light tickets. That's not just comparing apples and oranges, it's comparing apples and Yugos.

A police stop involves a million more factors than just "did someone run a red light or speed".

What would work better is comparing the police stop numbers against actual crime numbers. But let's be honest, that would destroy what this chart is trying to accomplish.

Yes, like "is the person white or black?"

Do you know fishermen who frequently visit spots that never produce fish?

Found a thread with photos of celebs in blackface. Figured I'd throw them here for posterity.

Justin Trudeau has done in on multiple occasions.


RDJ


Jimmy Kimmel has done it many times. Here's two.



Ralph Northam


Joni Mitchell


Tom Hanks - He has apologized for what was apparently a skit.


Howard Stern


Julianne Hough


Ted Danson


This one I don't understand. Drake. He says it was for a project highlighting the struggle of African American actors, but uh...what? Also, nobody seems to buy it.


Jane Krakowski - Written by Tina Fey (give credit where it's due)


John Hamm - mainly dirt, not really blackface per say, but he was playing someone of color and once again written by Tina Fey


Jimmy Fallon


Dan Akroyd


Sarah Silverman

Eddie Murphey did whiteface.

Hot new trend: Bring back the penis wielding crackers as CEOs.

Oddly, companies are in business to make profits, not push political agendas to make people feel good.

The DEI/ESG garbage didn't just fail, it monumentally failed on every front. (And you know it's getting abandoned by the number of "warnings" being published like this one.)

Hiring based on the color of someone's skin or what's between their legs is racist and bad business. Hire people based on their skills and results no matter their race or sex.

Anyone can get to the top. However, you know what stops most people? Lack of drive and culture. Not a racist culture, no. A culture of entitlement.

Racist text messages sent to black people around the country.

The NAACP blames Trump, of course.

However, it must be noted that no links have been made to the victims or the perpetrators yet. This is a coordinated troll where someone had to have access to a database identifying people by their skin color.

Point being, it's just as likely the victims were targeted based on other factors than just their skin color. I personally think the most important detail is that this happened after the election.

Thus, I'm wagering the perpetrator will be a black D voter upset about the election. I'll parlay that with the victims all being on a database on Rs or Trump supporters.

Racism or soccer?

Anyone got eyes on Juicy Smollet?

Think it’s foreign actors looking to rile things up. This landslide will not yield the chaos they were hoping for.

Identity

Bit.

Fixes all of the big social media/disinformation/online harassment/fake news/stalking/bullying/porn
problems we're having right now.

It is quite weird to me that in 2024 we still don't know if phone calls are real.

I'm on Google Fi, and let Google Assistant screen my calls. In the last month I've been getting like 7 "suspected spam" callers per day that I have google screen.... they're all political. And they're all using spoofed callback numbers. Which might mean something.

The last couple days, 0-1 spam calls per day.

A text messaging service said Friday that it discovered "one or more" of its users allegedly sent out racist text messages to phone numbers across the country and that the service quickly shut down the accounts.

A representative from TextNow, a mobile provider that allows people to create phone numbers for free, told ABC News that the company was cooperating with law enforcement and condemned the vile messages that were sent to users this week
...
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said in a video statement posted on X Friday that "some" of the racist text messages "can be traced back to a VPN in Poland."

Time to ban TextNow.

Good call Troy.

Assholes wave Nazi flags outside Anne Frank play.

Considering this happened in Michigan, odds are they're Arab.

I don't care if they are legal immigrants or born here or even if they're not Arabs. Deport them. We don't need people this morally reprehensible.

First of all, the woman putting the crown on the winner is gorgeous.

Secondly, sure are a lot of dark skinned people winning beauty pageants in primarily white European countries. I wonder if they know pandering is also racism?

Note: No comment on the winner's looks. I haven't seen a non-crying picture and it's not fair to judge someone with such an emotional expression. I've seen the runner ups and they're fine. I think the woman putting on the crown is the hottest of all by far.

Has there ever been a time where a black woman won Miss USA, and then went on to win Miss Black USA? I mean, logically, that's the only possible outcome.
