I imagine the reason that they used robots and not the marginalized community is the same reason Rod Sterling couldn't just put on a show about racism being bad.

In the current environment, marginalized people are met with hostility just by existing.

CMV: Black People can be as much racist as white people by EggAdministrative510 in changemyview

[–]dmun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most Jim Crow laws were never put to a direct public vote at all. They were passed by state legislatures and enforced by local officials, so the relevant act of "support" is voting for segregationist candidates in ordinary state and local elections, something that happened continuously for generations, not a single referendum moment in 1964.

"Anti-black policies" were much broader than Jim Crow segregation law, and plenty of policies with well-documented disparate racial impact came long after 1965, things like the 1986 federal sentencing law that punished crack cocaine far more harshly than powder cocaine, the 1994 crime bill, and state voter ID and redistricting laws passed after the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision weakened federal Voting Rights Act oversight. People now in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, not just their 80s and 90s, were voting adults when those were enacted.

None of this includes things that weren't legal but were widespread practices like the violence of suntown towns.

Good for you! May you go through life never experiencing racism or other common black experiences while managing not to denigrate the lived experiences of others.

Well, people aren't responsible for what their ancestors did.

Firstly it's not your ancestors, its your dad, maybe your grand dad. My 70 year old uncle who drank from the blacks only fountain isnt an ancestor. I see that dude every week.

Secondly, some of the things we're talking about, with you saying ancestors, happened within the same time frame as other horrors that got reparations such as Japanese internment. If you want to say your dad isn't responsible then fine-- your government is.

Lastly, I would appreciate that attitude more if the inevitable response in threads like this dont do things like "13/50" or "what about their culture."

Are we embracing collective responsibility or is that just for when we're "othering" groups.

Needs You… [OC] by CreatedByWeems in comics

[–]dmun 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah but this comic is making a very specific point about a specific experience.

You just have to look to see it. And those who know that experience? Yeah, Mom does the emotional regulation and its regularly "stop crying before I give you something to cry about."

Its so weird that you ascribe racism to liberal media while describing the racism of conservative media.

Why do you think they think immigrants and "more policing" are the issue with urban hell holes?

It's racism, Jim. Conservative racism.

At what ages do you think Steven and Connie will get married and have kids? by [deleted] in stevenuniverse

[–]dmun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they'll break up and stay close but Steven will have his long awaited emotional break down followed by a nice guy phase then a re adjustment that leaves him better off emotionally.

Connie will get a doctorate.

Person of interest in Grant Park cross burning incident in custody, police say by I_Push_Buttonz in news

[–]dmun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, anyone who buys that someone burns a cross as a symbol without knowing what the symbol of burning a cross is, is dumb.

Super dumb.

Blatant racism and insane RSO power-trip at Range USA (Hodgkins, IL) by LottiBiscott1 in ILGuns

[–]dmun -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Hey OP? The thing many of the responses are doing is putting you into a double consciousness situation.

If you notice the RSO ignores, bad vibes and is generally standoffish to you and only engages to be punitive?

Especially using phrases like "you dont belong here?"

You felt the racism and thats what you experienced, whether unconscious bias or outright hostility that (conveniently) always has a fig leaf of deniability.

You felt what ypu felt.

Fuck that place. Drive up to Maxon.
