WAR

Actually I was going to the gym and want to circle back on something that's much more interesting than Macklemore:

Who here has ever wore a costume, had people question it, apologized for wearing it and never worn it again?

What costume you wear that got you yelled at Bucky?

I got $20 on you margarita drunk, and dressed like Speedy Gonzales with a fake moustache.

I don't do costumes, but one of the dudes in my fraternity thought it'd be hilarious to go as an aborted fetus... some of the more progressive chicks in campus didn't think it was funny.

He wasn't a bad person, he just didn't put any thought into how people outside of his circle would view the costume.





Another example of this is when people go digging thru Twitter and find a rap lyric that was copy/pasted 20 years ago that has an n-bomb in it.

I get the part where "when people show you who they are, listen"

I don't get the part where someone apologizes for a faux paus, goes 10+ years incident free and then everyone points to 10+ years ago as "a long established history".

Focus on all the moronic shit he's said and done over the last 2 years... there's no shortage.
 
And I'll admit that this only irks me because so many of my wifes friends do a version of it to one another.
 
Classic here:

This is either a D Boy or a CIA SAD type with two ANA or ANP sidekicks. They are hunting a high value target and have tracked him to this small building. As they breach, with one Afghan taking point, and as the US operator is clearing a side room, the point man gets shot by the insurgent who initially appeared unarmed. The shot hits his rifle and he flees out the door as he is now unarmed. The third Afghan flees at this time as well. One of both of the Afghans are killed by another insurgent firing through the holes visible in the walls before they breach.

At this point, our badass lone operator immediately takes the initiative and does the only appropriate thing given his situation: assault with extreme violence of action. He pulls a veteran CQB move and immediately starts shooting up the wall where he assumes the insurgent who shot first is taking cover behind. He correctly guesses the position and has one insurgent down. As he now has the initiative, he continues moving with purposeful violence of action and slides beautifully to cover on the other side of the doorway leading into the insurgent nest, pieing the room and immediately opening fire at an oblique angle at the insurgent who shot his fleeing comrades. Two insurgents down, at least one a high value target.

It is in this moment, in the aftermath, when our superhero with no cape reveals just how cold the ice in his veins is. He does not waste the two remaining figures in the room, quickly assessing their lack of weaponry, and calmly as fuck tells them to get down. This part can't be overstated: after a firefight and assault like that, the vast majority of people have a very hard time not screaming and sounding frantic. You can hear him calming himself down seconds after this intense firefight that he was behind in to start. Amazing stuff. This man is made of rare material.

Age restriction is dumb, but that 1 minute and 19 second video is totally worth watching.

Youtube recommended me a video after that of a biker that fled a state trooper and then got himself decapitated crashing near a post office.

I've never found "blackface" offensive and don't get why others do. it's a costume, an outfit. that doesn't mean it comes with intent to disrespect a culture, that's a bridge too far for me. more and more, year by year we lose the ability to laugh with each other. Soul Man was funny AF in 1986, everyone thought it was funny, TF happened by golly

I really have no idea, why this topic is so overblown in the US. Same with the n-word. In order to not be racist only a certain group of people can say it? ... that is..by definition racist.

I've never heard of it. I think my track record is pretty good. Only 4 dwis but drinking and driving almost every day for almost 20 years. I really want to join into this conversation about macklemore but I don't feel like going back and reading everything.

the N word being reserved for just black people doesn't bother me. That's the reparations folks been asking for. financial reparations aren't practical, where does that end? as has been said before, at what point are we cutting trillion dollar checks to those with Neanderthal DNA?

^^this

Neanderthals built the tools and made the fires that built America. When will they get compensated for their contributions?

It's about time I got the recognition for my peoples suffering so I can retire.

Neanderthal was the original n-word.
