Yeah I'd like to know that as wellThink he was talking about the org not being happy about them doing the pod. If he was not, then I am. Where did you hear this?
Anything to get it away from here.I'm going to go start some hockey discussion threads on r/politics.
Because of one troll who was probably a young kid trying to be edgy? Seems a little harsh.My God, dude. F*** it, let coronavirus wipe everyone out and start over. Humanity doesn’t deserve this planet.
Name-calling exists both ways. People call each other terrible things all the time based on race and religion. Just depends on the country, city, or even neighborhood you’re in and whatever group is the majority.I had a guy refuse to shake my hand after a hockey game.
Call me a sand nword.
Been called a terrorist.
Racism is real.

There is a tool bag Devil fan on IG who basically harasses every ranger on there.
I got a feeling it’s gonna be that guy.
The internet is simultaneously the best and worst invention in human history.
That's the thing though. It's usually done anonymously.If by worst you mean it allows people to expose themselves as bigots/racists/sexists/willfully ignorant/morons/etc. then I disagree. I prefer to know publicly where people stand and their inability to think critically rather then allowing it to lurk in the dark and fester.
I feel for K'Andre but this is likely nothing that he hasn't had to deal with before. Thanks to the technology, we just happened to get a glimpse of it.

Exactly. Just like I predicted that Marchand’s comments about Lindgren not being in the league for long probably gave Lindgren extra motivation.Well... this was NOT a fun thread to catch up on.
f***ing people, Man.
Miller takes a lot of pride in his heritage, and I hope this is just added fuel for him to work his ass off and try to hit that insane ceiling.

I agree. Racism is completely unacceptable. But the belief that it is rooted in white middle upper class people is idiotic. The whole "white privilege"concept is moronic. That is just as ignorant as discussing the concept of inherent racism. The entire world is not according to Zinn.
Finally, I do not believe in any "ism". I believe in myself. John Lennon said that. But he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus and would still need to bum rides to school.
Not going to respond to what you asked not to respond to, but Zinn is nothing but poppycock. I have read Zinn. I have read Mein Kampf. Aside from the fact that the former is much better written and not utter gibberish, ideology aside, the books are pretty similar. IDEOLOGY ASIDE, before anyone presumes that I am comparing Zinn to Hitler .You brought up Zinn and what you said in the previous sentences is not really accurate with Zinn's teachings/concepts. Racism has always been about the poor. It is a class separator and a fantastic one at that. Poor to lower middle class will never be on the same team as a whole in this country. That is more what Zinn is about. It was started by the ruling class to control the poor(Zinn's entire thing on bacon's rebellion). Why would the KKK also want to stop the spread of Catholicism(mostly white-ish people that reproduce like rats)? KKK did a lot of what they did to blacks also to Italians and Irish. Wherever there is racism there is more to the story. Racism is just another tool to steer the public. This may sound bad but racism is one of the most efficient in controlling, philosophical ideas man has come up with, second only to religion. Tribalism, clan-ism and nationalism have been around for a long time and are all kinda the same thing but racism is very different and serves a totally different purpose. It is a new world invention. It is really simple, in France you had really bad classism. The poor hated the rich and the rich hated the poor. Well that sucks for the rich because there is more poor people than rich(this also gets into the wanting to stop Catholicism). So if you can get the poor to have major splits and divisions, the poor will never be unified. What racism is and the day to day manifestations are very different.

Racism is about hate, plain and simple. It does not differentiate between social status. It does not differentiate between color or how much money people make. You have rich racists. You have poor racists. And introducing racism as a to explain what a government does is not rational. All it does is create a narrative.
Does racism exist? Sure it does. And unfortunately, it applies to people of all races and colors.There are a lot of facets to racism and why it exists.
It's not so much that white privilege exists. Women and minorities have been at a disadvantage in most places/time periods of America, that's undeniable. But it's also true that being white is a disadvantage in other areas of America. So is being any color depending on where you are. Hell you could live in a small town that loves football but you're short and weak so youre a victim of muscle privilege. Power disparities exist bc of social constructs, mental and physical differences.
You can say the same exact thing about the cancel culture and the safe space culture.White privilege is taking that fact and twisting it into something divisive under the guise of trying to "fix racism" and virtue points. It's not that the privilege or advantage isnt real. Its just about how people decide to deal with it and talk about it.
Human beings are people and are such flawed. If you want to look for perfection, you will be looking for a long time. Yes, there are people who look at color as a separator. But there are a lot more people that are color blind. Claiming the US as a whole is a racist country and everything that was done has been rooted in racism is not seeing the world past your own nose.Humans are also tribalistic through our basic nature. Color is one of those separators in our dumb animal brains so it's not all about hatred. That's why people can have black friends and still look down on areas with high black populations or be turned off by the idea of interracial coupling.
People are people and this guy was a moron.People are absolute morons is what it comes down to. And this guy on the miller stream certainly was a moron.
And that is the definition of a hot take.We are dumb, stupid asshole animals with a penchant for treating others like shit for being different. The concept of white privilege is mostly just another tool used to be dumb, stupid, shitty assholes towards one group.
