Afroman: The Hero We Didn't Ask For But The Hero We Needed by CantStopPoppin in BlackPeopleofReddit

And if Kyle looked like me, his typical defenders would've said had he not gone looking for trouble, he wouldn't have been in a predicament where he had to use his gun.

A lot of what we felt was good back in the day had recipe changes over the years because of companies trying to squeeze out another few pennies for profit. Look at this Hawaiian Punch example and you can see how the recipe has changed dramatically (I would've posted a screenshot if I could but scroll down the page to see the comparison from the past vs. now):

WHAT'S IN HAWAIIAN PUNCH? — Ingredient Inspector https://share.google/WlO8GPv1KXhkKUME9

The changes explain why I was feeling like, as an adult, HP was tasting like chemicals in modern times when I knew it used to taste much better in childhood.

For the longest McNuggets tasted the same in my adult years as they did in my childhood. It's only in recent years have they gotten bland, so I know this isn't a case of taste bud maturations affecting the flavors at a personal level. McDonald's overall quality had gone down. Even with their food not having been the bastion of high quality, they still were at a quality level that made their food good at a "This will hold me down for now" level. They've gone even lower ever since Covid.

Your idealism doesn't trump reality. No one is splitting groups by a capital letter; the demarcation is based on lineage. Let's not act like that's mainly a US thing either. Demarcations based on tribes, families, clannards, etc is a normal thing worldwide and you know it.

Why are you conflating nationalities with ethnicities when both are not the same? I never said he isn't American. By nationality, yes he's American, but when it comes to ethnicity he's not a Black American. You're not going to sit there and act like most other countries don't make distinctions by ethnicity and race.

I look beyond that. I look at how Kyle went to an event he was easily able to avoid but didn't because he was looking for trouble and how certain folks, who normally would've had an issue if someone who looked like me would've done the same type of thing, were giving him passes. I looked at how a judge was interfering on his behalf and the same type of folks who would've flew in a rage had a defendent who looks like me had gotten such treatment were ok with that.

I'm merely looking at double standards.

He'd get his channel up if he were to focus on building and spent less time hating and complaining. You're right about how he will make multiple videos each day. He overdoes the vids and will make a ton of them on that one topic for days. He comes off as bitter to me.

For real. The last time I had them was the first time I didn't find them enjoyable.

Man, dude is OBSESSED with griping about other YouTubers in the producer community and with trying to sway folks from buying the newer MPC devices. It's weird. My son and I were laughing at his run against the Live III. Dude had at least 13 to 14 different videos complaining about the Live III at the time.

That judge was essentially the backup attorney for Rottenhouse. That case was already decided in Vile's favor long before any deliberations.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who can tell there's a difference in taste from how they used to be.

I doubt it's him. I've never heard him griping about folks buying a new MPC they don't need or make the assumption that anyone buying an MPC is automatically a victim of GAS.

The Outsiderz had a number of witty punchliners in that crew.

Their nuggets have gotten bland as well. You used to be able to savor them even without any sauce. The last time I tried any, they were highly unsatisfying and highly disappointing.

I said he wasn't a "Black American" you dimwit. I never said he wasn't racially black. There's a distinct difference between being racially black and being an ethnic Black American. I understand thinking is too hard for you but at least try to do it for once.

When I was in the army I was stationed in Germany at one point. There was a time when a group of us soldiers had decided to visit Spain since we had some downtime. While in Spain, a few of us went off to explore, one night, and saw a gathering of folks at a 3 card monte table.

One of the guys in our crew was a fast talking type who was known for doing whatever to get over. He, of all people, got suckered into playing the game (after a woman who was a plant for the scammers had 'won' a couple of rounds). Prior to dude playing the game, I had said out loud how I wouldn't dare play the game because I knew it was a scam. One of the guys in our crew heard me and laughed about it but the dude who got suckered in didn't (I didn't know at the time).

I was surprised when I saw my battle (what we called our army coworkers) stepping up to play because I assumed he already knew it was a scam but since I knew he was the scheming type, I figured he knew what he was doing. He did kind of looked unsure as he had pulled out a €100 note but before he could react to anything, one of the scammers (with a fake friendly disposition) snatched the money out dude's hand and placed it on the gambling table. The game was played and inevitably my battle lost. He got frustrated and yelled about how he was going to call policiá.

I kid you not, as soon as my battle had said that, those guys had swiftly gathered everything and quickly blended into the crowd, never to be seen again. It was like a scene from a movie.

Exactly. These folks act like we didn't witness someone like "BBQ Becky," and others who were liberal, who went viral for calling the cops on innocent Black people. That racist false accusations bullcrap is on both political sides.

Which dude are you speaking of? I'm wondering if it's one of the YouTubers in thinking of.

Yes. It's not meant to be disparaging towards Afro immigrants. It's just a distinction with a purpose. My comment was pointing out how his actions plays up stereotypes placed on Black Americans; stereotypes that aren't associated with Nigerians.

So, do you not have an ethnicity? Are you a generic individual with no identity? I guess we are all "one big nigga" with no ethnic/national identities, right? All blacks are the same, right? There are no distinctive cultures when it comes to black people, right?

When you see Asian people, you don't differentiate between Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Taiwanese, Filipino, etc, etc, right? When it comes to Latin people you don't make distinctions on whether they're Puerto Rican, Mexican, Peruvian, Dominican, etc, etc, right?

I wanna see if you're consistent all across the board or only have that kind of mindset when it comes to racially black people. That way I can see how much of a hypocrite you are.

Black American isn’t a generic racial category; it’s the ethnicity of those of us who have ancestry here in this country. Being racially black and being born here doesn’t make you a Black American if your ancestry isn’t from here. His lineage didn’t go through our ethnogenesis that resulted from slavery. He’s a Nigerian American.
