Re: More blithe racism
IMO the idea of ‘being trolled’ is the new version of ‘it was just a joke.’
If a bunch of ‘trolls’ come up with the idea to ‘fake’ a white power sigh but also happen to be baby-white-supremmacist, or white supremacist adjacent, is the sign really fake or is it just a new sign not yet fully adopted made by people who think themselves so much more clever than they really are.
Similar to people who constantly ‘play devils advocate’ but do so for one side and not the other, are they really playing devils advocate or are they just trying to slip in shit views without taking personal responsibility for those shit views, and at what point does the distinction just no longer matter because damage is being done.

Re: More blithe racism
Colby Covington is an mma fighter in the UFC. He developed a heel schtick some time ago and then layered MAGA nonsense on top of it. He would wear a MAGA hat and talk shit.
Quote:
“He’s standing up for lifelong criminals, Covington said of Woodley. “The Black Lives Matter is a complete sham. It’s a joke. They’re taking these people that are complete terrorists. They’re taking these people that that are criminals.”

Colby Covington draws backlash for 'flat-out racist' remarks
He has also referred to Kamaru Usman as having a tribe and communicating with smoke signals. Kamaru's nickname is the Nigerian Nightmare, but he grew up in America. It would be fucked up and racist regardless, but it's also stupid. At other times, Colby calls Kamaru Marty. A different fight started that shit, but it stems from when he was in college and people called him Marty "americanizing" his name, and implying he isn't really black or African.
The point being that Colby is a racist piece of shit. Many of his supporters on r/mma make fun of people who don't appreciate his rhetoric as falling for his schtick.
First time they fought, Usman broke Colby's jaw in the third round and then finished him in the 5th. They fought again last weekend, and Usman won a decision.
During the leadup to their second fight, Colby also talked alot of shit about how Usman's dad was in prison for medicaid fraud (which did occur), but it's also race baiting bullshit and has nothing to do with Usman's character.
After the fight, Colby said some shit in the wring like "nothing personal, just about the money or hype."
FUCK THAT SHIT
like mother night says, be careful about what you pretend to be, because in the end you are what you seem to be.
Racist apologists have long argued that saying or doing something doesn't prove that someone is racist. I think this is a bullshit rhetorical ploy, but is also because of the overlap of evangelicals (who care deeply about the state of people's hearts) and racists.
I don't really care why you are spewing racist crap. If you are doing it to fuck with others or because you truly believe makes no tangible difference.

Re: More blithe racism
"If you said something racist in the morning, you said something racist. If you say racist things all day, you're a racist."
This short talk by Jay Smooth isn't addressing dedicated racists talking from behind a weak veil but could be useful for general purpose:

Re: More blithe racism
The article is a good read, thanks for sharing the tweet.
I can remember other reports of this sort of thing. It’s cool to have some estimated numbers to get an idea of impact.
SF Chronicle article
Given that homes are a primary way for US families to grow wealth, a 50k penalty for being Black certainly would have wide impact at decreasing Black wealth.
And still there are dipshits who think there is no systemic racism.
Quote:
Researchers at the Brookings Institution have found that owner-occupied homes in majority-Black U.S. neighborhoods are undervalued by an average $48,000 per home, representing some $156 billion in cumulative losses — a dynamic that has prompted calls for policy reform to automate more of the home valuation process and otherwise minimize bias. Some in the appraisal industry, meanwhile, contend that the process is inherently subjective and driven by extreme pressure to increase home values, opening appraisers to unfair personal liability when homeowners disagree with the results.
|
A 50k difference in valuation can be the difference between positive equity or not.

Re: More blithe racism
Racial Restrictive Covenants Map Seattle/King County
Quote:
This interactive map shows just some of the subdivisions (developer-platted micro neighborhoods) known to have been racially restricted through deed provisions or restrictive covenants. It is incomplete. We have searched less than half of the property records for the years (1923 and 1950) when restrictions were legally enforceable. Do not assume that blank areas were free of restrictions.
|
(emphasis in original)
The PNW - normally considered a liberal haven - has a racist history that people would rather not focus on. These deed covenants are unenforceable but often remain because it takes time, money and effort to remove. Starting next year, King County will allow you to remove the racist language for a court filing and a small amount of money..

Re: More blithe racism
I tried checking my house, but I'm pretty sure this subdivision was created after these types of covenants were made illegal, and these documents are hard to read if you're not a lawyer.

It's a damn good thing the U.S. is completely, utterly, 100% post-racial, else that would look sorta bad.

What do you expect in liberal California where the current Vice-President of the United States, as State Distinct Attorney of California, locked up a higher percentage of black people than any state in the union?
In fact, she argued in court that these black people in the prison system needed to stay in the system because their free (slave) labor was needed for the California economy.

Re: More blithe racism
Quote:
A spokesperson for Black Lives Matter UK said: “Once again, we are reminded of the fact that the police are the perpetrators and there are no lengths they wouldn’t go to inflict harm on vulnerable people.
“The horrific strip search of a black girl at school is a clear example of why police should not be in places of education. While politicians have recently called for more police officers to be stationed in schools across the capital, children are being traumatised in spaces that should be safe.”

Damn. It's too bad England isn't completely, totally, 100% post-racial like the U.S.

Historical reasons, I think. But your penis may vary.
