Andy Capp said:
"Thanks Biden" LOL

They were interviewing someone about that situation earlier and he said, well, someone in the world has to be having their worst day. I was distracted at that moment so I'm not certain, but I think they were referring to the captain. The last I heard they didn't even know what the cause was but it's got to be rough for the guy in charge when it happens regardless.

Slightly on topic thread I think you'll appreciate

It's hilarious how people keep setting the bar so low for him only for him to just be pretty normal and come off looking brilliant in comparison to the expectations. Even if someone is completely indifferent to truth and just wants to say whatever scores propaganda points for Republicans, I can't understand why they'd keep doing that.

Also, good lord. Can anyone watch that and still think that the MSM has a left-wing bias?

Considering it's been told to me multiple times he was African American (not by all troll posters) that's why.

I don't care if he is or isn't but he certainly doesn't come across as a white guy

He said he was I believe just one time, and it's inconsistent with his previous account or other comments (including ITT). Multiple posters could have seen that one post. There was a big difference in tone between his previous account and his current one when the current one was new, and that kind of melted away.

Not seeing any way in which he doesn't come across as a white guy. Are you just thinking because he's a leftist?

Did you really tell @Sara kid that he can't have dessert until after he eats his vegetables?

Yes. I’m a great trainer. I realize that “ugliness” and “fatness” are genetic disorders, much like baldness or necrophilia, and it’s only your fault if you don’t do something about it.

I get that you're kind of shit posting (and no judgement there; we all do from time to time), but you do get that you're failing to connect your "WPEM" stuff, right?

Andy Capp (don't know the other one you're referring to) is clearly not all that racially ideological, let alone a self-hating white person or anti-white at all. And it's very rare that I ever even see you point out a post by anyone that is anti-white. At most, some stooge will post a Breitbart-style article or a random tweet from some nobody and you'll make a general statement about WPEM's and how they're all going to rush to defend it....and the no one does. Hell, just yesterday (or this morning?) tonni was being singled out as the "only leftist," and tonni is not very socially progressive.

You acknowledged that I'm one of the more "extreme" posters here, so I figured I would take your "litmus test" on the subject:

1) do you believe in CRT?

Answer: Yes, I guess? It's kind of a hard question to answer. I don't think the framework is infallible, that it can explain everything, or that it isn't misused, but I think it uncovers a lot of truth and bears a lot of valuable analysis. It's frankly not super relevant. No high school teachers are doing sections on Critical Race Theory. Hell, even as a social science major in college, I only came across it in a couple classes and didn't see anything super scandalous. It just studies phenomena that correlate to race along the lines of racial confrontation, domination, and norm-creation.​

2) do you believe only white people can be racist?

Answer: No, not how you are meaning it. When most (99%) of people talk about "racism," they are talking broadly about prejudice, animus, and discrimination along the lines of racial identity. Of course, using that more liberal definition, everyone can be (or is) racist. If someone is using the sociological concept of racism as those things plus institutional power, I think it's fair to say "only [the ethnic/racial group in power] can be racist."​

3) do you believe in Defund the police?

Answer: Yes, but this is again super vague. I don't believe in abolishing the police, but I do think that, particularly at the municipal level, bloated police expenditures (think, advanced weaponry and equipment that never gets used) could be better served being allocated toward social services. Don't you agree?​

4) do you kneecap your own opinions and start off by saying, "as a white Cis-gender male..."

Answer: Yes - well, no one says that in regard to everything. But I do think it's important for one to acknowledge their own experiential limitations. If someone asks me about discrimination against immigrants or transgender persons, I can give my opinion but there's no harm in my acknowledging that I've never been an immigrant or a transgender person. Don't you agree?​

5) Do you pay heed to Ibram Kendi or Robin D'Angelo?

Answer: No. That one was pretty easy.​

6) do you believe Asians benefit from "white privilege?"

Answer: No, but it's another complicated question depending on how you conceptualize "white privilege." In a few ways, as I've stated here before, Asian Americans suffer uniquely from lack of political representation.

So I get about 3, but I'm
