rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

I was going to say "he's one of those dudes on Facebook with 850 shirtless white twinks and one Black woman he met at work in his friend list"

That too, probably.

Does anyone remember that indie rock video that was filmed like a Wes Anderson movie but ended with a guy literally shitting on another guy’s face and it was during the two years every music website was “sex positive” so some site was like “THIS MUST BE TAUGHT IN EVERY SEX EDUCATION CLASS”

I would like table’s opinion on that video too

Like, it was “precious” but also had shit play

Was it The Decemberists?

I can’t believe I found it on the first page after searching “best music videos gay sex”

https://vimeo.com/channels/1428424/200672866

“It’s educational, sometimes voyeuristic, and absolutely engrossing. May they show it in sex-ed classes someday.”

my opinion on that video was uh it was fine

weird tangent

but good to know that pooping on whiney is a nono

i legit just said "what the fuck" out loud to my dogs.

gah. there is a mural near my neighborhood that i feel rageful about but i mean...at least ours isn't that? oofffffff

a mural of RBG i mean

I keep going back to it and saying "who is the audience for this" and thinking the answer is "white liberals in my hometown"

Glad I live in an area where one of the largest and most beautiful murals is of gay communist opera singer Paul Robeson.

has the muralist had to apologize yet because i am already guessing what the apology reads like in my head

Paul Robeson was gay?

I don't know if he was bi, but he married a woman and had some p scandalous affairs with other women

Jfc that was an autocorrect. He was not. In fact, he was quite the opposite lol

i was gonna say that scandalous affairs with women are not exactly a sign of homosexuality if you're a man but it is possible i am underinformed

it is a sign of homosexuality when your phone autocorrects things to "gay" ;)

Was the autocorrected word "a"?

the algorithms know everything these days

I think what table meant was that the phone autocorrected "gay communist opera singer Paul Robeson" from "Gaz Coombes"

I'm trying to imagine living near a giant Gaz Coombes mural and for some reason the picture in my mind has the terrible face tattoos from the RBG mural I linked

it was probably "ag," tbf— I sometimes type so fast on my phone that I'll swipe a letter trying to get to another, in this case the "c" in communist.

i am, it turns out, very gay.

xpost DJP lol

Muralist left out the crying Santorum kids

At least it's her with a GF tattoo and not the other way around.

oh god

Ruth bader have my money

table's autocorrect changes "the" to "gay" which is why his real username is "gay table is gay table"

I'm also just going to come out and say that as a white gay dude, I always thought that PG was precious and for the sort of white gay dudes who think they're "alternative" but are actually very middle-class and boring men who like buttsex

Here's a Medium article about that mural

https://medium.com/free-thinkr/rbg-goes-to-anacostia-e9ca99b1a164

I cant find a photo of it, but via the IndyStar

Rabble owner Josie Hunckler said she learned Thursday evening of a 2018 mural by Muck that depicts a chimpanzee sporting a gold tooth and a thought bubble filled by a marijuana leaf. Muck painted the chimpanzee near New Orleans' Lincoln Beach — a waterfront amusement park designated as an African American gathering place during the segregated 1950s.

...

"I admit ignorance, inability to see the big picture, inability to see other people’s viewpoints on it," she said. "I didn’t see. I missed it. I apologize profusely."

Someone painted over the New Orleans mural before Muck returned to do the task, she said. Although a photo of Muck with the chimpanzee mural no longer resides on her Instagram profile, a screencap exists.

"Yes, I painted a monkey," she said. "I had no association of that monkey with any race. I’ve never thought that way. I grew up in New York and Europe, and it just didn’t enter my mind."

Muck said ethnicity didn't factor in her choices of the gold tooth and marijuana leaf.

“I was putting gold teeth on everything at that time," she said. "That was my shtick.”

Regarding the marijuana: "I was trying to help a newly sober person. He was having a hard time with his friend smoking weed. I said, ‘They look like monkeys, they’re being stupid. Why would you want to do that?’ And we painted the painting."

A dear friend wrote this piece about being Black in the non-profit industrial complex. Pretty damning stuff.

Muck seems like a fun person to completely ignore at a party

I grew up in New York and Europe

Ah yes, the places where there isn't any racism

What is 'Europe'?

I mean, the resemblance is uncanny

Had to google that slur. I've never seen/heard anyone use it in Canada, including by idiotic teenagers who had no qualms about using, uh, synonyms.
