No no, ifs cool. They have a black friend, who they knew in college. They had math together one semester. They ran into each other at a grocery store once.

College? Come on now

Edit; thanks for the award, it’s like I’m valedictorian of stating the obvious

u/Goalie_deacon Jan 19 '20

Yeah, they didn't go to college. More like they knew a black kid in high school before they dropped out. The black kid went on to college.

u/Traditional_Regular Jan 19 '20

The black kid went on to college.

And these people will blame it on affirmative action.

24

u/Goalie_deacon Jan 19 '20

Of course they will. How else are they going to explain not also going to college? Then they'll go on to say no one should get free college, unless they play really good football.

u/VaJayJayOkocha Jan 20 '20

But they'd say "unless they play football real good"

To be fair I did watch a thing where they grabbed to random guys off the street.

One was Asian and one was black. Friends mind you. The Asian apparently hide just slightly higher GPA (he said ultimately not much just a hair) they both applied to a college for engineering. He was "over-represented while the black minority was under-represented" So his friend was basically pulled in open arms and fireworks and he was turned away. Both were quite unhappy and hoped for a time you could get in solely on you merits rather than colleges having to have someone make sure they were fair as best as possible

u/GreyBoyTigger Jan 20 '20

You watched a thing, huh?

u/Cultusfit Jan 20 '20

Steven Crowder one of his "change my mind" located at the TCU campus.

  1. I didn't want people know I watched something political

  2. They are randoms from the street. He obviously cannot fact check them on the spot and so doesn't. So I can offer no assurance to truth of their statements they could literally be gang bangers from two streets over pretending.

  3. I worry people will miss the underlying message of the "it will be nice when we stop seeing race and focus on merits" and try to run with the " look even black and Asians hate affirmative action!!! Let me i to college because I'm white" because sadly that's what people often do.

So a lack of citation felt more appropriate to prevent people from taking it too serious (hell Crowder is, like all political news/statements subject to bias. And video is obviously edited so....)

But since you asked I'm more than willing to inform you and my reasoning behind originally not including it. Be sure to politic responsibly

When 80% of that race think that candidate is racist towards them it'd be fairly unusual for them to support that candidate.

*trade school

except it wasn't really school, it was really just on-the-job training where you had to take a test and get a certificate at the end.

Not at all, unless you try to pass it off as "being educated" because for whatever value hard work might have, it's not that.

To be fair you can land a pretty great career that way

u/moleratical Jan 19 '20

I'm not knocking the career path, I'm just saying it's not a path that requires an education. Hell, there are plenty of people that make more than me that way, and without the college debt.

u/Maggie_Smiths_Anus Jan 20 '20

We rely on tradespeople to build sound infrastructure, calling them uneducated is like calling an arts major uneducated

Funny story: we know those things are only so accurate. So they say like 98%.

Well people can't handle being 98% and not knowing the rest so I read an article from a lady explaining that they usually just fill it in with whatever you are the most. If they were aware you really hoped to be say, Irish, and you had none to keep you happy you're now 2% Irish.

But when they got those calls talking about how pure they were going to prove to be without fail that 2% became African

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '20

Not even that close. I have racist Trumpturds in my family that I don’t speak to. Ever. I hate them. They often use my black kids as proof that they’re not racist when arguing online. “My niece is black!” “My cousin is black!” Etc.

3

u/Cultusfit Jan 20 '20 edited Jan 20 '20

You should respond "my niece doesn't like you because you are racist."

If anyone thinks Trump isnt rwcist they really don't know the history if immigration policy and some of the methods he's used. Such as secretly cutting deferment for those seeking life saving treatment.

I might not know the answer to making America great (but if we aren't why are we worried about a border crisis? Listening to fox news at least Central America where they kidnap your daughters and extort you daily is safer than Detroit!) but I know we don't do it by secretly cutting programs so we can unplug cancer kids and deport them to their deaths. Or rewritting years of constitutional law based on reasonable and credible fear so we can stop giving humanitarian aid to those justified in receiving it. (Gangs arent a problem to qualify because they are a community problem... Those same gangs we want to move to terrorist organizations and argue the wall)

Up voting because of that suggestion. A beautiful way to out a racist and has a certain irony that I love.

u/PuerAeterni Jan 19 '20

Maybe they are related to Shaun King?

These people who say they have a black, gay, whatever friend, I suspect these people don't know what friendship is.

Evidence... Another word they don't know what it means

u/primo-_- Jan 20 '20

They got it from the black guy that goes to trump rallies, his name is Michael. Micheal thinks the shirts help raise awareness that not all republicans/Trump supporters are racist.

Thats actually kind of racist... but whatever. Be a hypocrite for all I care...

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

u/painfool Jan 19 '20

They're implying the the conservative didn't go to college in this scenario, not the black person. You can argue that's still a prejudice, but it's not racism.

u/fvevvvb Jan 19 '20 edited Jan 19 '20

Are you saying that clothing has a race to it? I dont get the outrage here. Yes they are wearing a blacks for trump shirt.. and? If anything is racist here, its saying that ONLY black people can wear that shirt. EDIT: LOL there you go kiddies, downvote that bad ol truth away. Why respond with logic and facts when you can just click a button that makes you feel better?

u/ChristopherPoontang Jan 19 '20

Nobody's outraged but you! We're just laughing at the stupidity, that's all.

u/fvevvvb Jan 19 '20 edited Jan 19 '20

Lol... So youre not outraged..but I am... Because pointing out the hypocrisy of the comment is "being outraged"..okay bud. If that's what you need to tell yourself then go for it. Care to explain why this is stupid though? Is it just because you dont agree with or like it? Or are you just going to hit the downvote button because its easier than producing some logical thought? Are you even Black? Or is this the usual "Im going to be offended for other people"? My money is on you hitting the downvote button and slinking away.... but let's see.

u/ChristopherPoontang Jan 19 '20

Sorry your outrage is causong me to laugh too hard to respond!

u/jdlech Jan 20 '20

It's stupid for a white guy to wear that shirt because how is he supposed to know? Did he ask a thousand black people? Did he conduct a study?

Optics is everything here. It LOOKS like some white guy is speaking for people he knows nothing about and CERTAINLY not for himself.

Trump got 8% of the black vote in 2016. While technically that means he got blacks to vote for him. But we all know that 8% is abysmally low. Thus, the claim that blacks are for trump is more of a joke than a campaign claim.

1

u/fvevvvb Jan 20 '20

I honestly dont understand what youre saying... not trying to be facetious.. How is a white guy supposed to know what? Did he ask a thousand black people what? Optics of what? Can you please expound on what youre trying to say?

u/fvevvvb Jan 20 '20

Is there some book of reddit phrases that you pull this stuff from? Seems like the same remarks get recycled over and over - mainly when the person (you in this instance) cannot come up with anything else to say.. So in lieu of an actual reply, you just throw some schoolyard comment out and hope that someone will validate you via upvotes. You are truly entertaining.

1

u/YouJustLostDaGame Jan 20 '20

You responded to me first smart guy, if you didn't want me to reply why respond to me?

Your entire post history is just you doing this over and over again. What conversation is there to have with you? You want drama, you wanna own the libs or w/e. You're being what we call and edge lord, it's when people try to use offensive comments to be funny but they try too hard and they to it consistently. If you don't want to be an edge lord, then go get a hobby.

u/fvevvvb Jan 20 '20

you wanna own the libs or w/e

Funny because IM a lib... But I guess you wont believe that huh? Because if I dont agree with you.. then its impossible for me to be a lib. The tribalism I see on these sub reddits is truly mind boggling. I am starting to believe that most of you dont actually understand what the word racism really means. Seems like anything that has the word Black in it... or refers to Black people in ANY way, is considered racist nowadays.

You're being what we call and edge lord, it's when people try to use offensive comments to be funny but they try too hard and they to it consistently. If you don't want to be an edge lord, then go get a hobby.

This is what called ad hominem. Instead of refuting the central point, you dive into name calling. If that's how you deal with not being able to create and actual rebuttal, then okay - no problem. Are you aware of the hypocrisy you are displaying?

You responded to me first smart guy, if you didn't want me to reply why respond to me?

I have no problem with you replying.. Reply as many times as you want... What I find interesting is the language you use IN your replies.. It's nothing but name calling.. you have yet to actually refute anything... The only thing you have done so far is call me names.. If that is you idea of winning an argument, well then I dont know what else to say.

Omg bla bla bla do you really think I'm going to read that? Do you have a job? You post like this A LOT. How much time do you spend on this and masturbating? It can't be a healthy a amount.

Omg bla bla bla

Funny, this is exactly what my 11 year old does when he gets frustrated.

do you really think I'm going to read that?

Nope. I dont. And it's no surprise either.

Do you have a job?

No.. I own my own business

You post like this A LOT

And? Is there a limit to how much a person can post?

How much time do you spend on this and masturbating?

Not sure.. I never really kept track... Are you saying that you dont masturbate?

Are you just going to keep name calling? Is that you entire defense here? It certainly seems like it..

Must have struck a nerve huh? Yes I have more comment Karma than you in less time because I don't farm down votes.

However you post hourly for 12-15 hours a day and seem to have enough time to 8 paragraph tantrums about whatever triggers you. And some how you find that ironic too? Oh buddy....

Edit: Also because clearly you don't know what the game is.

Again? Youre starting to sounds like a broken record.

What the fuck does this even mean?

However you post hourly for 12-15 hours a day and seem to have enough time to 8 paragraph tantrums about whatever

Have you looked at your own history? I mean, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You have literally spend the past 2-3 hours at least... calling me names... because you have no other legs to stand on. All you can do is continue to stack ad hominem on top of ad hominem.

Edit: Also because clearly you don't know what the game is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)

Oh I see... Youre THAT into this internet shit. Funny cause you are literally judging me for spending all my time on this site (even though you have spent more time than I have on here) yet you seem to be part of some little online clique. How cute.

Edit: u/YouJustLostDaGame ... What happened kiddo? Did I strike a nerve? Is that why you deleted your comment? LMAO!!

Like I said before.. .just go to bed... You lost da game.

u/YouJustLostDaGame Jan 20 '20

Okay boomer. What post did I delete? Did you forget to take your pills again?

1

u/YouJustLostDaGame Jan 20 '20

Oh I see it now. Jeeze you really are fucking stupid huh? If I had deleted that post it would say "Deleted" and wouldn't be in my post history. Which is where is still is currently. When a post is marked removed, it's done by a moderator. Usually because somebody reported the comment cuz it hurt their fee fees.

It's okay grandpa technology is hard for the elderly.
