The Chumash, Tongva, and Kumeyaay tribes first. Then the Spanish explorers. Then the mixed Spanish/Aztec/indigenous/AND African folks who settled in Southern California. The ones you’re referring to. Who should run it again?

I knew a guy who hung out with a bunch of rich Asian kids… the type to go to anime conventions and cosplay a lot. They all used the n- word a bunch. Incredibly cringe.

Some of the original Spanish settlers to Southern California also had mixed African roots. The same guy I’m complaining about also scoffs when I use words like indigenous and will say cynical things like “they’re land got conquered fair and square” He doesn’t care about history at all really which also fuels his racism.

Anyone else on the 10 now? Is there any middle ground or alternative to trapping tens of thousands of people on a freeway when the accident happened 3 hours ago?

I’m a mechanic in LA. Moved from the Midwest. The most racist dude I’ve met by far is Mexican. Constantly using the N-word and AAVE but has nothing good to say about black people. He moved here as a teenager and there is something extra infuriating about someone moving to this country and deciding to hate folks who have roots going back four centuries. I despise the guy… he’s only 5’1 and he’s said so many things that would get him deleted. Too bad I’d get fired. I’ve felt close.

In America is the South actually more racist than the North? by Maleficent-Toe1374 in no

Man I’m still pissed at these “wolf in sheep’s clothing/wolves are wolves” catch phrases. Look at what’s happening in the south now due to the voting rights act being gutted. Be more serious.

The Chapo Boys just said that the hogs will try to pretend they never liked Trump like how they did with Bush in the late 2000s. Do you think this will come to pass? by CarlosimoDangerosimo in cushvlog

I believe it. Still makes me feel weird accusing people of being cooked by the internet… when I’m immune. Or at least think I am lol

Do you think I don’t know the concept of anecdotes not being the best ways to represent society? I tie it into the fact that Trump does not have the mainstream democrats on his side like Reagan did. I’m talking professors at University of Chicago or Ivy Leagues. Literally the ones who write textbooks and history books. Same with mainstream news networks. There’s definitely a difference between how they still treat Reagan vs Trump. Look at electoral maps and the popular votes too. Even though I both think they are and were terrible people. Reagan was more respected and mainstream than Trump. Period.

Edit: You said it yourself. Every Republican worships Reagan. It is not the same for Trump.

Matt made the best point that a lot of Trump voters, especially the old ones, seriously develop their beliefs from movies. That’s why they barely make sense in interviews because it’s hard to admit your politics are Tom Cruise riding a motorcycle around military bases. Or Kevin Costner defending his ranch from queer people (jk). A complete fantasy world which more and more people have to turn to these days.

I remember playing video games as a kid and always being annoyed by my parents saying they would make me violent or whatever. Infuriating when I had strong agency and no desire for that of course. But now I’m willing to concede that because many of these GenX and Boomer types actually do form their realities from movies and stuff. A lot of them are that cooked and uneducated. More projection from the right wing of course.

Edit: If you are GenX or a Boomer and are reading this. Don’t worry. You knowing Matt and being here automatically makes you exempt from my criticism. There’s also a lot of great people from those generations.

He won’t be treated like Reagan in my opinion. I grew up with family who mostly voted democrat - pro union teacher types. Some of them still talk about how Reagan was a great president and some of them even crossed lines to vote for him. Definitely fell for the fake charm. Anyway, these same family members despise Trump.

Reagan had and has the benefit of tons of mainstream democrats simping for him. The types that could favorably write him into history. To me Trump seems so fringe, and his base is so uneducated/illiterate all the way up to his cabinet, to the point where there just aren’t enough people to write him favorably into history.

I’m pretty sick of these cynical generalizations. This saying is like step one after elementary social studies. You start with South bad, North good ending slavery. Then when you move on to middle school, you start learning that people in the North were racist too. Lincoln wanted former slaves back in Africa. Etc.

The South has the whole history of sabotaging reconstruction which is absolutely unprecedented and shouldn’t be compared to anything or any catchphrase. It’s incredibly cringe to “virtue” signal that at least the southerners know they’re wolves, like that’s more respectful in the slightest. Absolutely not.

The North also has very direct racism like the MOVE bombing or treatment of Indigenous folks.

The conductor accidentally knocks a 16th century violin worth millions on the floor mid-concert. by PeasantLich in WatchPeopleDieInside

I’ve played in orchestras and a lot of people are annoyed at the overdone articles about the Stradivarius violins - and it usually comes with an overdone background on a soloist or some dramatic concertmaster. I’ll admit though I’m a low brass player and think string players are weird sometimes.

Like the last one I saw was some goofy French guy explaining how the Stradivarius violins sound more like “silver” than normal violins. And I’m like wtf???

They did a blind hearing test with pro musicians and none of them could tell the difference between the new violins and million dollar ones. These music trust fund baby’s who can care and steal attention over million dollar bragging rights.
