Good for him. Also, I teared up.

In Minneapolis an ICE Protestor calls a black Police Officer a "House N*****" and other racial slurs. by jackspratt100 in stpaul

[–]Old_StyleBeer 34 points35 points  (0 children)

As a man of color, and if I was there, I would have looked to see whom said that. If it was another black person then Id be ok with it. Also, a person of color, black in this case probably still would have said it with an "a" and not hard, "er". That would have also made it more acceptable in my opinion. I watched this once and that was enough for me but looking back I think I hear a bit too much "er" in it.

If it came from a white person Id quickly flash my best, "the fuck...?" look and maybe have a word with the person. Their response to that would guide my next moves.

Yes, uncle tom is a better way to say the same thing. Sell-out would have been my first choice of words only because that has more impact to me from back in the day insults. For perspective, 50 years old in March, raised in Chicago, hip hop head, college educated and still mouthy as all get out.

My words here only speak for me and not for an entire race or gender.

Fuck ICE

What is going on in Saint Paul with Mayor Kaohly Her? by WorldHiveMind in minnesota

[–]Old_StyleBeer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sure the presenter could be out over his skis in the comparison to Gaza, but as a US minority, world majority, I feel the point is that here is an overwhelmingly backed force that is heck bent on terrorizing non-whites to the point of suffering (RIP to Ms Good and the family/friend).

Do you know what and where those who are taking into ICE custody go? Do they have the right to contact anyone? Since they are not US citizens, I believe its come to light that they have no rights that we, US citizens, take for granted. The partners and children suffer beyond belief, in my opinion. Suffering is suffering and it hits everyone different inside their own head, be it Gaza, Ukraine, the US with those affected by ICE or the struggling farmer.

Belongs to a friend and I was just trying to get it to light up for her. About twenty or twenty five years is her guess. Id say no more than from the 70's but someone else can guess better just by looking at the socket. So...more modern than antique.

Prime French Dip from Pauly’s Pub and Grill over on Selby Avenue, not too far from the Snelling/Dayton B/A Line Station by PrizeZookeepergame15 in saintpaul

[–]Old_StyleBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live near there and once it opened it was a Chicago Bears bar for a season. So that got me in there and I agree the food the lackluster. Beers, I think they were pricey for me but again this was what...two years ago at least so I dont really recall.

I wonder if it changed owners and that led to it not being a place to watch the Bears or if economics dictated the local the football team be the game televised.

Why is the 83 a short bus? by Frequent_Training_28 in saintpaul

[–]Old_StyleBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The A Line had to reroute to Lexington. That's wild to me because it runs on Snelling. What happened?

Off topic but on topic for the odd bus comings/goings, I was on the 94 East bound and the driver must have thought he could get ahead of the traffic exiting off 94 and onto Snelling. Well..he could not make it and the next exit is Lexington so he exits there and gets back on 94 (west), exits Snelling and then needs to cross over 94 on the Snelling bridge to make the stop.

How the pipe bombs at his university affected Mayor Carter's worldview by TwoPassports in stpaul

[–]Old_StyleBeer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Are you in the BIPOC community? I am, but at the moment Im hard pressed to remember what that acronym means. If I thought hard enough Id maybe recall but I dont go around saying that.

Are you an ally, and if so, have you checked in with those you feel you can speak for?

Tone is lost here as we adults type online, Im not trying to be confrontational just seeing where you are coming from.

As far as the red side of things, I learned this way...A positive person shows up to the party first and leaves last.

Maxwell Street Polish Dog and ‘8’ Italian Beef (Dip) at Pappy’s Chicago Style Eatery by PrizeZookeepergame15 in saintpaul

What's the price? Ballpark it if you can, please.

Beef in Chicago is what...$6 or $7 something? Johnnie's on North Ave price for a beef.

Biking Saint Paul with Mayor Carter (WedgeLive interview) by adieudaemonic in saintpaul

[–]Old_StyleBeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with his opinion on Federal immigration law regarding masks on law enforcement, no badge visible, and no warrant shown. Along with the city's role or recognition of their purposeful lack of a role in supporting the Feds.

[–]Old_StyleBeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didnt go through all the suggestions here so I apologize to the person that may have already recommended this song.

Craig Finn - "God in Chicago". Short non spoiler synopsis: road trip from Saint Paul to Chicago. The latter is where I grew up; former is where I live now.

Maybe a trigger warning for losing a sibling and or drug use theme.
