War Room Lounge v85: If you want to turn a hyena on, you have to stress it out

[all caps]

She really doesn’t say why she hates her father, but white people always hate one of their parents for some bullshit reason like missing their third-grade Christmas play or making them clean their room.

This is the 4th article from theRoot that I've read. and frankly, they've all been terrible. one of them was a review of the film "BirdBox."

the author has an interesting premise as to what the film symbolizes but he went off on these random tangents, and incredibly politically incorrect generalizations about white women.

let me see if I can find it.

I know I've read things from The Root that were good. Wouldn't discount the whole outlet.

I thought it was a fun, enjoyable read. I don't endorse all the views in it, and it's not the piece I would have written.

Maybe I'm just in too snippy of a mood for it.

 

[waiguoren]

I didn't enjoy reading that at all. Unlike Fawlty, I do not appreciate the style of that author.

This is why I believe there is hope for you. I think that piece might be a good litmus test for whether or not a person can be salvaged.

That writer is clearly unhinged.

I'm not a regular reader of it, but that particular piece was going around Twitter.

Stop it.

This looks like the start of something great. Wai/Trotsky 2020.

Actress Jennifer Agostini, friends attacked leaving Midtown bar: court papers

A model and an actress got their money-makers messed up by a racist pack of miscreants during a Midtown bar brawl, according to a new court papers seeking to force the venue to hang on to surveillance footage of the throw-down.

Actress Jennifer Agostini, 43, and swimsuit model Prendinellys Garcia, 47, ran up a nearly $1,000 tab at Midtown lounge Sky Room for their friend’s birthday Saturday night before leaving around 3 a.m. Sunday, papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court sat.

But on their way out of the West 40th Street club, they got jumped and beaten to the ground by a group of 10 to 15 people who were yelling “white motherf—ers,” “dirty white b—-es” and “f—k those white b—-es and their money,” the court papers say.

“It was just this stampede as we were leaving. We just got rushed and assaulted by, I can’t tell you by how many people,” Agostini — who is set to begin filming the show “Brooklyn Ties” this spring — told The Post.

“I’m a lead character on the series in March, and I have to now go to see numerous plastic surgeons, and I also have to go back to the concussion center to MRI my head.”

Photos shared with The Post show Agostini’s bruised and swollen face following the attack.

“These are beautiful women and their faces are distorted,” added Garcia’s husband, Cal Stuart.

Agostini and the others — who are asking a judge to have the bar keep surveillance video and other records of the incident — say they don’t know exactly why the brawl erupted.

The incident touched off when one of their friends tried to go back into the bar for a forgotten credit card after their party had left, according to court papers.

A bouncer pushed the woman, and they got into a verbal spat when Stuart told him to lay off, the husband claimed.

“All of a sudden, 10 to 15 people jumped us,” said Stuart, claiming bouncers were among the attackers.

Stuart said he’s consulting his lawyers about whether to file a police report.

“I was pushed onto the ground and eight individual jumped on top of me and brutally assaulted me. I have five stitches in my head. My whole eye is closed. I am going to have numerous scars on my face,” Agostini said.

Garcia told The Post, “I have a black eye. I have been having a lot of headaches. My whole entire body hurts. They were punching and kicking me on my body.”

The papers named Sky Room’s parent company, The Sky Bar Times Square Inc., and two other companies.

Sky Room did not immediately return requests for comment.

I don't get why the article included these two parts frankly.

“I’m a lead character on the series in March, and I have to now go to see numerous plastic surgeons, and I also have to go back to the concussion center to MRI my head.”

Call me a dick but this portion... *shrug*. Sorry you got your shit kicked but you just ran up a $1000 tab at a fucking bar... pretty sure you can afford the plastic surgery.

Also, why include that quote?

Fucking Christ

Greg you were a bouncer, have you ever not allowed someone to go in when the thought the forgot their credit card?

 

[TeTe]

You do not discuss politics, religion or income at the dinner table.

Pretty much this

 

[MMAisGod]

I’d say the criminal element is the closest answer I could give. Those instances have set off people the most in the past when considering the flaming clause so it eventually made sense to just disallow it entirely. I’ve mentioned before a person easily could adjust to something like apologist but it’s always better to attack the persons ideas rather than applying labels in general.

I generally think mild flaming has always been allowed in the WR because it seems impossible for the average poster to remain completely civil on a consistent basis when talking about politics. Our flaming guideline just attempts to minimize these outer limit scenarios that seemed to cause a lot of trouble/ anger.

Hmm, I guess I just see it as all flames. I mean, there's a bigger real life implication, but online? "You're a supporter" for defending some Hollywood nonsense vs "You're a racist" for being hardcore anti-illegals is pretty much the same level of ignorance to me, coming from the same place at least. Like that Greoric guy or whatever his name was clearly was ultra racist and was called out as such (who took forever to ban), but that a dude (forgot who it was) who was saying he thought the teenage girls were ready for sex and that he drives by high schools should be able to be called a too (dude was a victim if you called him a , so people had to tread lightly). I guess I'm confused as to why such blatant, I'll use the word disgust, is more tolerable one way versus another.

Also-

Speak for yourself brah.

If it's closing time yeah, you don't let them in unless it's an employee on their night off.

Cause then fucking everyone outside "forgot something" and just wants to go piss on your bathroom floor while you're trying to clean the place.

You tell me what the card looks like, and the name on the card and the staff retrieves it.

Or butt stuff

Ok that’s fine but you do not start beating the shit out of them, and I’m sure you would politely tell a party that spent over a $1000 that you’d go check for them.

 

[TeTe]

I'd be amused as shit if I was at the thanksgiving dinner and someone brought up butt stuff. Way better than talking about religion or politics.

Yeah, you don't beat the shit out of them unless they get belligerent and swing first.

I've had that happen where someone took a swing at me and then was trying to hit me with a random 2x4 they found on the ground and I was told "put them down, cops on the way" to protect us.

I laughed really hard at this. Donald Trump himself posted this on his Facebook.

I have personally been to Sky Room 3 or 4 times in NYC, and the area in general many times. I'll go out on a limb and say none of that actually happened as described.

You must have felt like a god with all that power.
