    Anytime I hear someone say, “The Blacks” I know they’re about to say the most racists thing I’ve ever heard. I’m not sure how the next person is gonna top this one this one though.

      I always recognized that it sounded off but I didn’t realize why until recently. It’s because it’s dehumanizing. “The blacks/the gays/the Jews” vs “black people/gay people/Jewish people” carries a sense of otherness, or less than. It’s amazing how such a small differnce in verbiage can change the whole tone of a sentence.

    Yes. Please adopt that and say this incessantly in front of people. Make sure to say it loud and proud. This will work out just like you imagined it in your head.

      And the rest of the people in the room, in front of and behind the camera, don’t immediately shut him down, cut to commercial, and then return with an apology for having platformed a fucking Nazi.

      You know what they say about a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him…

      Y’all are so dishonest saying they always lie. Sometimes they can be even shittier by telling the truth.

      Just not about the kid fucking stories.
