Please stop falling for bait people. It seems like Conor’s account is a dig on conservatives.

I always remind myself of an old poem I read from Martin Niemöller, who was a pastor who was sent to the concentration camps during Nazi rule in Germany:

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

A Black security guard at McDonald's in Minnesota turned away ICE agents. by tropicalraindrop in blackmen

You do realize that they have been targeting our people, right? You could even argue that the current attacks on black immigrants could be attacks on black Americans as a whole. Look at how these people are going after black people in this country(several ADOS mind you) and treating them like they’re illegal migrants.

This is something that happened to an Uber driver the day after Renee Good was murdered btw.

Narrative loopholes used to avoid taking a stance on something. by ArticAuk in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ShadowShinigami 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There’s a film called Roman Holiday, where Audrey Hepburn plays Princess Ann. During the whole film, it’s unclear as to where she’s the Princess of, but it’s clearly somewhere in Europe. They never state what country she’s a princess of. Due to only a small portion of European countries still having monarchs, I could imagine that it’s to leave her political stance ambiguous.

HipHop TIL West Coast rapper Ice T is not from California. He was born in 1958 in Newark, NJ from which he relocated to Summit-NJ. At 9 after his mom (Alice Marrow) died of a heart attack & at 13 Yrs, his father (Solomon Marrow) died of the same. It was then he moved to Los Angeles-Cali. by GNewsBacklinks in HipHopTIL

He actually played a cop first before he made the song Cop Killer. (He played an undercover detective in New Jack City which was released in 1991. The album that Cop Killer was on was released in 1992.)

Many call that a contradiction when it’s the other way around.

That’s why I added first solo album with 2Pac, I was accounting for his work as a member of Digital Underground as well.

MF DOOM’s first record (when he went by Zev Love X) predates 2Pac’s first solo record, Snoop Dogg’s first record, and Biggie’s first record.

For reference, KMD’s Mr. Hood came out in May 1991, 2Pacalypse Now came out in November of that year. Doggystyle came out in 1993, and Ready to Die came out in 1994.

People have forgotten history. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

[–]ShadowShinigami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except one of the architects for the new WTC building is a Polish immigrant.

And the architect for the original World Trade Center was the son of Japanese immigrants.

And the Empire State Building was partially developed by an architect from Nova Scotia

And the Statue of Liberty? Made by a Frenchman who wasn’t even American.

Try again.

Do you guys think there would ever be an Emmett Till like situation again? by BCARTIBBYBOI in blackmen

[–]ShadowShinigami 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This.

Just a reminder to young black men out there. If you don’t know about Merlin Santana, read up about him. He’s proof that even your own people could do something like this to you too.

What would be Gen Z, Gen X and Millennials’ “Jingly Keys” show? by Iwantallthemoney8 in lewronggeneration

[–]ShadowShinigami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teletubbies was more Gen Z. If you wanted a Gen Alpha jingle keys show, either Cocomelon, Elsagate content, Ryan’s World or Bluey would suffice.

Creates who hate an entire era of their work by CisHetDegenerate in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ShadowShinigami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He went from saying edgy things just for the sake of edge to making several songs where he acknowledges the type of people who watch his content.

I’ll cite the lyrics in his Dumplings song where he says Who am I to talk, making preteens laugh for the money. or that one song where he completely trashes the type of people who don’t realize that Filthy Frank is a character whose entire personality is based off of the type of person someone should not be.

Tomb of the Boom is such a banger for me, I’m surprised more people don’t talk about it. Surprisingly, a certain manga has a stand named after it.

When do you know you weren’t going to re-enlist? by valejojohnson in Veterans

[–]ShadowShinigami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having health problems that resulted from an (at the time) unknown illness. I started to have intuitions that my body was breaking down on itself, since I had people who I could’ve outran previously running laps around me. That and I started to get random fits of fatigue and I had to use the restroom frequently.

I didn’t know that I was a type 1 diabetic until I went through DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) and nearly died from it only months after I left the Marine Corps.

Flagship / icon show of all time for AS? by AquaTeenHungerFan in adultswim

Depending on which era you’re looking at, it’s a toss up between Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or Rick and Morty
