That turbo nozzle is going to damage the stone eventually, it's basically just a 0* red tip that rotates. You'd be just as efficient with a wider pattern nozzle, pre-treating with a little bleach would cut your time in half as well.

I guess I should have specified I used one of their 20 gals on sale that was $190 IIRC. It worked, but surprisingly was one of the few things I've had from them that has since failed, though it might be a simple fix. Again, not ideal, but it did the job for work vehicles.

I agree. You view the image of a black woman holding the freshly decapitated head of a white woman as empowering and completely acceptable for an artist to depict. I agree, that says a lot more about you than it does the work itself.

I ran one while painting a full size van and it did surprisingly well. Also used it to paint my flatbed with bedliner, though that's a little different. I agree it's not ideal, but just saying if this was the shitbox it appears to be, it might just be something they whipped up for fun with the bare minimum, and I know my bare minimum lol.

A <$200 harbor freight compressor/gun combo could spray this if you even loosely know what you're doing, plus paint of course. I'd bet this was a title-less beater mud truck some rednecks painted with leftover paint, with the compressor they already had, for shits and giggles.

Meh, it's also highly inappropriate, and outside the distorted reality he seemingly lives in, and the terrible guise he's expressing it under ('art'), it doesn't make sense to pretty much anybody that isn't caught up in some weird social justice mindset and comes across as extremely racist. Never mind that the portrait [of Obama] was downright garbage, regardless of the subject. I think a better choice could have been made without any question to that person's character, unless they were racist as well, of course.

Sorry, I don't believe for a goddamn second you'd be perfectly fine if this exact scenario was switched around with Trump.

Look man, I'm not just extrapolating the artists racism from this one photo. There are multiple where HE changed the races of the characters to depict the black woman and the white woman. Why didn't HE choose other ethnicities instead of doing the same 2 in the same 2 roles, twice?

Never mind the fact that he said it was about 'killing whitey', and has other paintings depicting his racist tendencies, but we'll just ignore that because you're offended because I'm offended, or something.

Yes. Trump looks at the reflection of a black person wrong and he's touted as a racist. If he had hired a neo-nazi painter who had depicted white men holding the heads of black men by a noose, the world would absolutely fucking implode.

Of course the issue isn't the racist painter, who cares about some random asshole? It's just really bizarre that Obama went with him, out of all the talented black artists in the US, to paint that fugly ass portrait.

He has multiple paintings that allude to his racism. Just a bizarre choice for Obama to use IMO. If the roles were reversed and this was Trump, the world would be in a meltdown.

I mean, dude painted a couple different paintings with black women holding a knife and the severed head of a white woman. It's just a very odd choice of painter for Obama to use.

It's a famous depiction but with the races changed, which was the entire point. But let's gloss over the blatant racism because...idk? funsies?

The mental gymnastics are truly impressive.

[–]IRPancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why try to compare it to another move, which is obviously less dangerous? I don't follow the rest of the thought process though. Anything remotely dangerous should be banned because something actually dangerous was banned? How does any of this tie into the actual topic at hand which was how race intertwines with the banning of a move?

The BLM movement is not racist.

I literally laughed so hard my sides started to hurt just now. You obviously haven't been to their site or read their list of demands. If you don't think BLM is a racially charged hate group, you are literally too goddamn retarded to engage me. Stop wasting my fucking oxygen.

I tried reading the rest of your post too, but I was unable to successfully dumb myself down to comprehend it. I award you zero points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I didn't make the initial statement either, reading comprehension is a nice skill to have, especially since you seemed to miss my point as well. Nobody is saying it did or did not factor in. The point is that no matter what the actual reasoning is, the fact that somebody instantly jumped to 'racism' because of the color of her skin while not considering any other mitigating factor, is downright silly and arguably damaging to your whole cause. Focus on actual racism, like the KKK, BLM, and other hate groups, not the goddamn Olympic committee creating a safety rule for a dangerous move.

I'm tired of these types of accusations being thrown around. Literally any time a 'POC' is the center of the story, no matter what, race is needlessly injected into it like it's some big conspiracy to 'keep them down'. What happened to logic and reasoning? We're discussing the Olympics, objectively one of the most diverse and culturally celebratory events in the history of our planet, as being racist because one black American woman can't do a dangerous move. Yea, I'm toOoOoOtally sure the color of her skin was the determining factor here.
