rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

http://www.bitterwallet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/zBOSA-500x375.jpg

that was a fake

but it was racist because someone realized that they could spell "nigger" by a video game and they set up a soccer video game and took a photo of it and sent it all over the internet

so yes, racist

this isn't a thread for lol racism, fyi. keep that shit to "encyclopedia of racist products" or, like, 4chan

strictly concern trolling in here.

I figured it was some soccer thing. Wouldn't have been surprised if it had been real.

take it to i love footy

love the gawker update where they act like they understood the joke from the beginning

is anti-semitism racist or not, because this guy at the bar I frequent is convinced that Birth Of A Nation was produced by Jews & that the Jews control the media etc etc

I know it sucks either way just wanted 2 know ur opinions

Of course anti-semitism is racism. It's just that racism against Jews has acquired a term of its own, probably because discriminating them has been so prominent historically.

Where it gets tricky is when anti-Israel or anti-Zionist statements are equated with anti-semitism; of course some anti-Israel/anti-Zionist people are also anti-semitists/racists, but many of them aren't. But your case is pretty obviously racist because the target is Jews as a whole, not Israeli politics or anything.

are the finns a race?

Ca. 300 Finnish Jews fought in the War alongside the German Army[3][4]. The field synagogue operated by the Finnish army was probably a unique phenomenon in Europe.

Guess they didn't have Google then either.

idk singing about sippin syrup like three 6 and getting "slizzered"

it's a bit 3oh3 minstrel

i can def see that

Man, if it's wrong to make fun of people who drink cough syrup to get high, I don't wanna get high.

How does all the lol ghetto retard stuff on lamebook.com fit into this thread? Not sure if I'd rather it be real or fake.

i think a bunch of well-off white people looking at it on their MacBook Pros and laughing at it through a mouthful of Whole Foods salad bar is pretty racist

glad I'm broke, on a dell, and had chili for lunch then.

black people eat Whole Foods salad bar, too

so like, on a pitchfork scale of 0.0 to 10.0, where 10.0 is a lynching, and 0.0 is Martin Luther King Jr. enjoying a cup of coffee while making breakfast, in his pajamas, humming a soft song to himself, where would the MacBook Pro thing fall? where does this comment fall?

I think this thread, while started with the noblest of intentions, has been a failure. And the reason I believe it has failed is that we (as a society) are so resigned to simply declaring something racist or not, as if it's binary, instead of attempting to quantify exactly how racist something really is, using numerical scales.

that scene from Louie where the school bus breaks down in Harlem and he reassigns the black kids the window seats: greater than 1.2?

*folds hands, rests elbows on desk, places chin on fingertips, looks up and slightly to the left, thinks*

i think you've anticipated an exciting new direction for Pitchfork Reviews Reviews

God, this fucking thread. Is this racist? Is it? Well? I need something to be outraged about, fuckin' tell me!!! Ugh.

i dont think anyone is really all that outraged tbh

Was Dr. King's morning coffee fair trade or unregulated?

Exactly, this thread isn't about being outraged at these things, it's about discussing them, and learning from them, and analyzing peoples motivations, gaining valuable insight into contemporary race relations, and proposing solutions for a more equitable society. Which is why it is essentially ineffectual, and why we should focus on merely assigning submitted material a score.

we can't be sure, can we, so let's kick it up to 0.8

xp that is not for me, as a MacBook Pro owner, to say

jk i don't really own one of those racist fuckin computers ;p

venti frap all over the keyboard

white people live in "ghetto"s too, but hilarious that you missed my point so wildly

3.9 imo, though it depends what you were eating when you posted it

meth is a white trash drug last time I checked, but ok?

stop being rooster racists

So it's only OK to laugh at Mexicans when they do white trash drugs?

I'm more laughing at the rooster, honestly

you better be

also, mods plz delete jpg from thread, there's a reason thats on 77

Not at all gobsmacking, the dumbest people on earth will be lining up to high five them for so thoroughly owning the libs.

Guarantee Elon Musk has forwarded that link to all eight of his baby mamas.

the "tu quoque" line of arguing is always suspect, like, when minorities claim racist double standards, they're usually talking about things that actually not a big deal that they get disproportionate criticism for while white people get none.

they're not saying "WELL YEAH I MURDERED SOMEONE AT A CHUCK E CHEESE BUT IT'S OK BECAUSE OTHER RACES MURDER AND NOBODY CRITICIZES THEM FOR KILLING PEOPLE". not to mention, Adrian Peterson's child abuse got him indicted and his career destroyed, so, uhm, yeah, people do actually care about it, beating your kid like is actually illegal, and AP probably got way more flack than a white player would have gotten in the same circumstance.

Adrian Peterson came to mind immediately for me, too

I’m going to have to explain to my coworkers why I’m making this face

They must be used to seeing it by now.

I'm literally stunned by this. Like how grown-in-a-vat/raised-in-an-underground-bunker sheltered do you have to be to have thought this was a good idea? Sorry, just being Canadian doesn't come close to covering it.

For those who can't see it, the tweet reads: "Last summer, I disguised myself as a Black man and traveled throughout the United States to document how racism persists in American society.

Writing Seven Shoulders was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done as a journalist.

It’s out on May 30th"

And here's a picture of Mr. Blackface himself:

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1223685835213635585/AtC1SVQN_400x400.jpg

FTR, the Amazon description of his booky wook contains the phrase "...in order to taxonomize the various types of racism that persist in modern America." Ooh! Ooh! I bet I know which one he decided was the worst!

Black Like Me 2 wasn't a sequel I expected this year

the Amazon description of his book also includes the sentence "Seven Shoulders is the most important book on American race relations that has ever been written", so I don't think he's oblivious, just trolling

it only being 193 pages means it's going to be less an analysis more than a personal log recording one sentence descriptions of discrimination he faced while in "disguise", like here a racism, there a racism, everywhere a racism

uh

even Rachel Dolezal is like “dude no”

That’s funny, I have a sort of similar pitch I’m trying to sell where I travel around Canada discreetly disguised as a moose.

Forster has contributed an article that was published in both RealClearPolicy and Quillette about the movie Joker and white people committing crimes that suggests to me this dude has the intelligence of a peanut

also wrote an article for National Post this March solely centered around Israeli civilians that have been displaced due to Hezbollah rockets and their plight, while making zero mention at all about the death toll Gaza civilians have suffered whatsoever, or even mentioning them outside of referring to them like the entire nation of people who live there is a warring party. i'm good w/ this dude getting dragged

OK, all done here. Thanks for dumpster diving on our behalf.

tipsy moosra

I saw that Sam Forster tweet and was waiting for the punchline... is that actually what he has done and written about?

I mean it's great we'll finally get to read about what racism is like I guess

based on other articles I've read of this dude yesterday his book is probably going to chronicle that nobody was bad to him whatsoever and that clearly this means minorities are making it all up

saddened to see so much anti-Canadian racism in the rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

Maybe a white American will disguise himself as a white Canadian and see the prejudice they encounter

i disguised myself as an Australian and only spoke Strine, here is a picture book of the confused looks I got

sew a Canadian flag on the backpack, automatic book deal
