honestly i dont care if youre white, brown or black. just as long as youre not some unnatural color like purple or green. if that were the case it would be very easy to convince me we need a caste system where those people are forced to live in the sewer

Even Dre’s judgment was suspect when he signed Em to his Interscope imprint, Aftermath. “I got a couple of questions from people around me,” he says. “You know, ‘He’s got blue eyes, he’s a white kid.’ But I don’t give a fuck if you’re purple: If you can kick it, I’m working with you.”

People love to say “I don’t care if you’re black, white, purple” but I absolutely do care if you’re purple. I very much would care if a fuckin purple couple moved in next door. Like what would they do if they saw me eating a plum?

Wonder if they just watched the Avengers

Shit, now have lyrics for Karma Chameleon as a brain worm. Thanks, Officer!

Try this extremely on-topic earworm instead:

Nah I was just imagining the officer thinking of specific characters in regards to the unique "green or gold" variation

Just under a century ago, the Soviet Union embarked on one of the strangest attempts to reshape the common calendar that has ever been undertaken. As Joseph Stalin raced to turn an agricultural backwater into an industrialized nation, his government downsized the week from seven to five days. Saturday and Sunday were abolished.

In place of the weekend, a new system of respite was introduced in 1929. The government divided workers into five groups, and assigned each to a different day off. On any given day, four-fifths of the proletariat would show up to their factories and work while the other fifth rested. Each laborer received a colored slip of paper—yellow, orange, red, purple, or green—that signified his or her group. The staggered schedule was known as nepreryvka, or the “continuous workweek,” since production never stopped.

Socially, the nepreryvka was a disaster. People had no time to see friends; instead they associated by color: purple people with purple people, orange with orange, and so on.

Today, Anderson said, the racial makeup of the team means nothing to him because he gets along with everyone. (“I’d be around purple people and I’d fit in,” he said.)

BS. I heard Anderson was a purple people eater.

Does the purple person befriend a monster with one eye and one horn? I bet they get pretty lonely too!

sure sounds strange to me

Gipson then tries to point out to Paul that he's just a black man trying to do his job. "I don't care if he's a purple man. He doesn't live here," she tells Paul referring to Gipson. "I don't want people buzzing him into my building."

“They use public relations and all of these black life this and white life that and blue life and purple life and straight people and gay people and whatever. But really and truly people are just people trying to find their way. We are just people trying to piece the puzzle of life together.”

"Let me tell you something about Rupp,” legendary NBA coach Red Auerbach told author John Feinstein in his 2005 book, “Let Me Tell You a Story: A Lifetime in the Game.” “All I ever hear from people is that Rupp was a racist. You know what? He did hate black guys — who couldn’t play! He also hated white guys who couldn’t play, blue guys who couldn’t play and green guys who couldn’t play. He hated Jews who couldn’t play, Catholics who couldn’t play and Muslims who couldn’t play. That was it."

“You couldn’t get into many of the bowling clubs in Paisley.

“We decided we would have an open club, we were the only club in Paisley like that – blacks, whites, greens, reds, tartans, anything.

Based on the name of the town alone, I would've expected nothing less.

oh Sean

I know very well that the idea of being ‘colour blind’ is out of fashion, that MLK’s vision of character over skin colour is considered to be naive. But that vision surely made our society better. I’m not sure the modern vision of ‘race consciousness’ is making things better.

Can we institute a global rule that anyone who misquotes or mischaracterizes MLK gets the shit beaten out of them on the spot

Social media has revealed to us how dumb we really are. I think I preferred not knowing.
