Why do people still post their racist/assholeish/controversial thoughts on FB? I mean it's basically today's equivalent of doing this:

Use a fucking anonymous board ffs, it's 2018.

I wonder if it's possible to reform the programs designed to protect child welfare? I know even with reports made, it's still tough to do anything but one has to wonder if changes could be made.

To stop things like this happening

Or this

I mean people are crying about temporary separation of children and adults at the borders but what about the children already in the country going through living hell?

Racists aren't usually the smartest people in the world.

Reminds me of when Obama just went ahead and invaded Libya. Except he didn't bother asking

to see who takes the Internet so seriously
and so the friend list can cleanse itself

:chairdance:

Why be a little bitch and a coward about it. If someone feels that way they should be a man and let the world know.

Scott Pruitt has left the building. I call dibs on his phone booth.

Thing with North Korea seems to be going well ... 'better than expected'. Let's set a date for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Then it didn't seem to go as well

"But in a statement issued after Pompeo had landed in Japan, North Korea said the talks were "regrettable" and accused Washington of trying to unilaterally pressure the country into abandoning its nukes. It also said the U.S. made "unilateral and gangster-like" demands, according to the Associated Press."

Germany, put on your seat belt, you're next in line.

Another trump supporter loses his job. This time it's the founder and CEO of Papa Johns pizza. He used the N word during a conference call. Trump seems to attract a lot of raciests for someone who claims not to be a raciest.

I wonder what he actually said.. Because you can be a stupid idiot and use that word without being racist. For instance the guy who got fired from Netflix for using it in a list of offensive words during a conference call LUL

"Colonel Sanders called blacks n____rs" (and never faced backlash)

Wow. What a racist piece of garbage lol

Yeah but I remember reading he got warned initially to not say it again and then he goes ahead and says it again in another meeting lol.

they both are, why use one to defend the other?

also colonel sanders was born in the 1800s... the standards for social awareness is a little higher now.

what does a pizza joint ex-CEO have to do with Trump again?

He's racist for paraphrasing colonel Sanders?

I was watching A Bronx Tale on AMC and stuck around to see how they would handle a particular scene, as AMC is pretty bad for censoring. Well they mute out the word 'fucking' and keep the word immediately following it, 'nigger', in the broadcast. I commend AMC for understanding context in the former and condemn them for ignoring it in the latter. When it comes language that isn't directed at an actual person or people, either its all ok or none of it is. George Carlin and his 7 Dirty Words is worth a watch in regards to this example.

In the Papa John's story, they don't explain how the word nigger was used by John Schnatter to set the situation off so I can't really condemn him, even if there is a good chance he did say it in a racist way. Him stating that Colonel Saunders used to say it is simply stating a fact (as far as I understand it to be). That isn't offensive in the least. Provide the original utterance and the context, and then decide if it is something he should be fired over.

He paraphrased colonel Sanders. That was the context..

Oh I must have misunderstood the story. I thought he had casually dropped the word 'nigger' in a business meeting, then tried to deflect blame by essentially saying that it was ok for Colonel Sanders to say it, so why not him.

If that is the case, then wtf?! The Sanders ancestors and KFC are the only ones who could claim offense to him stating a fact, and that's only if this fact was not a fact at all.

This is what is perplexing to people such as myself who are black.

Why is the word Nigger being used in the first place in a corporate setting on a conference call? Not only that, but numerous times?

I work for the largest financial firm in Canada, to even think about using a racist noun such as nigger, chink, wetback, you name it, on a conference call would be absolute blasphemy within my company. I would be gone the next day, and I would expect as much.

And you wonder by black folks are paranoid about what some white people may say behind closed doors, at the highest levels in some of these companies.

The real question is, how was he awarded the freedom in his mind to be so comfortable about using such words in a corporate setting? Clearly such words and views are quite acceptable around his "circle" of people. If anything it gives more credence to the fact that abject racism and white supremacy is alive and well in some of the highest echelons of not only government, but corporate America. This is something we already know, and has seem examples of time and time again.

But no of course he's not a racist, it was just taken out of context!
