She actually had the nerve to write this:
"Before the NAACP leadership gets on its high horse about this, maybe they should go ask a mother trying to raise kids in an inner-city neighborhood how she feels about this, whether she minds if the guy trying to sell drugs to her 12-year-old is put away for a long time."
!!!

"Hey, NAACP. Maybe you ought to talk to some real BLACK PEOPLE and see what THEY think."

Drug-legalization proponents across the political spectrum often claim that there would be less violence if drugs were not part of a black market. But I can’t help but wonder whether people inclined to try to make money on the black market wouldn’t simply turn to other kinds of merchandise. Gun-running seems profitable, for instance.
brainstorm!

if drugs were legalized, all drug dealers would turn into gun runners, and there would be a guy selling baggies of automatic weapons on the corner of every street

Oh god I just handed her a half-dozen page hits.
From the original Times article she is commenting on:
“A guy can make six figures a year on a decent bag now, but the players want to have family members, people that are close to them and who they can relate to on their bags,” said Carl Jackson, one of the few remaining black caddies who will work Augusta this week. The black caddies who remain are on the Nationwide Tour, golf’s version of Class AAA, he added. “Or they don’t get a job at all,” he said. “They’re a dying breed.” Their demise can be traced to other things as well — the ubiquity of the motorized golf cart and the subsequent slashing of caddie training programs, as well as this: the job is not as attractive to blacks who have more career opportunities than previous generations. For the older black caddies, the situation is not without its bitter irony: when the prize money was modest, they were the standard; when the money became huge, they became disposable.

From her post:
In other words, discrimination is not at the root of every disparity. And the end of discrimination may even cause greater disparities.

I think this is what is most striking about her writing. The counter-argument is actually imbedded in her own text, yet somehow she is completely unable to see how it undermines her own concluseions.

ladies and gentlemen, the ny post:
Nets on Jay-Z track As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots — what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new “urban” home — why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment? Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York N------s? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn B----hes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath. Wanna be Jay-Z hip? Then go all the way!

If they really wanted to be "Jay-Z hip" they would have a brilliantly-colored uniform co-designed by Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami

i like how the thread title implies a naivety to posting the most racist things we can find - is this... racist? *hold up klan hood*
― lag∞n, Friday, 4 May 2012 17:10 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, kinda shitty. On the other hand, if net attention gets someone like that "The Talk" guy fired, I'm all for that.

I was not actually wondering whether or not that was racist maybe I should have searched for a ny post thread
― iatee, Friday, 4 May 2012 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
within a day of starting up, this thead had become a place for both genuine "is this racist?" questioning and unambiguous examples of racist bullshit. there's nothing wrong with this, so far as i can see, and certainly no reason to get nasty about it.

there's something at least a little sharp about "let's congratulate ourselves for not being THAT white person".
though, yeah, "nasty" was overstated. <3 dan, apologies for getting snippy in return.

Regurgitating this ignorance and hate on to a thread that was supposed to be more about videos made by the Black Keys isn't going to change anyone or get anyone fired or raise awareness of how the New York Post is an awful, vile publication.

well 'I guess I posted it in the wrong thread' I had no idea this one was secretly a signaling game about how not racist you were

so we should avoid discussing obvious examples of racism because that tends to make us look like we're trying too hard to seem other than racist
good to know
― 10. “Pour Some Sugar On Me” – Tom Cruise (contenderizer), Friday, 4 May 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link
you should avoid using the space to talk about ambiguous racial issues to talk about blatant, obvious racism as if the two were equal or as if you were confused about blatant, obvious racism, you big whining baby
New Question <-- this exists for a reason
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Friday, 4 May 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
I mean, we could actually go for the question that everyone seems to want to avoid or not really think about, which is "is it racist to flood the thread that's supposed to be a conversation about the ambiguity of racism with example after example after example of obvious, blatant racism" if you really want to take the "no topic should be forbidden!" martyr stance here
― I'M THAT POSTA, AAAAAAAAAH (DJP), Friday, 4 May 2012 18:10 (eleven years ago) link
I was secretly trying perform racism by flooding this thread but also signal non-racism by posting a news story about racism
