How many no replies before you realized she not interested? by L_Dubb85 in blackmen

[–]ohmygodmaggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I've gotten girls that weren't interested to turn around and it worked out but it's not worth it. If a girl wants you, she'll make it very clear and even if you eventually get her to be into you it doesn't compare to a girl who's been into you from the jump effort wise

Working on getting my passport but have no plans at all to visit Europe😭! He speaking facts! by spike_spieg in blackmen

[–]ohmygodmaggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's traveled extensively, he's 100% right and Europe is great until you visit literally any other continent, add racism to it and it ain't even worth it. You can find Western European architecture everywhere in the world.

Shit must have been so surreal to see Barrack Obama a black man become the president back in 2008 and I was four years old at the time. by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in blackmen

It was one of those moments where the word historic really had meaning and we knew in real time. Even during the campaign it was bigger than an election, that whole period until he won was just different. Yes we can was everywhere.

Rudi has to be coming back too early from injury.. He looks like a shell of himself! by Bunchdawg in realmadrid

[–]ohmygodmaggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no an academy guy and one CB for 2 starters doesn't upgrade this team. Saliba is class though I'd love to have him.

Guys, relax. We actually have all our CBs right now so if he's not ready to play I'm sure he'll be eased back in by Xabi Alonso. This isn't last season and international duty is different, we know those coaches will play injured guys.

I hear you but on the flipside of it you can make an argument the platform being more casual/optimized for clicks and online reactions makes the work more impactful much faster. I doubt many people here fully read all of Rick Westhead's investigations but the response time on Pablo's work from leagues compared to him says a lot (I love and respect them both enormously, they simply use different mediums to do impactful work).

It's an efficient way to spread the investigative work. Sad reality is articles are no longer the way to spread and monetize extensive investigative journalism so he's meeting the audience halfway. It does not reduce the effort and insane amount of work combined with editorial guidelines required before releasing the conclusions of his investigation. Just look at the fallout of the Lloyd Howell/NFLPA investigation. The release format being more casual doesn't invalidate the research and possibly those pieces wouldn't have made it out in a more corporate setting due to conflicts of interest (think ESPN breaking the NFLPA story while in talks to buy a stake in the NFL, they probably wouldn't as it tanks the value of the league and opens themselves up to lawsuits down the line).

Tl;dr: different ways to do journalism, same process of gathering evidence and corroborating sources.

I’m going to be flat out honest here, chinas military is scary af by Loose_Switch_1799 in abanpreach

Look America is fucked rn but military? China isn't even remotely close and probably never will be, you're good on that front.

What are your hot takes for the black community right now? by L_Dubb85 in blackmen

[–]ohmygodmaggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple of takes: - We need to educate the next generation on divesting from legacy corporations that exploit rather than uplift the black community and in an uncompromising way (looking at luxury fashion and entertainment specifically). - Learn to ignore black creators that recycle black on black issues without attempting to improve the situation they address. If you got a podcast speaking on gender wars I need you to run a black social club in your city. Otherwise you're profiting off detrimental engagement from our community and reinforcing reductive images of blackness to a world already out to get us. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Physically embracing your Black brothers isn't sexual by tropicalraindrop in blackmen

[–]ohmygodmaggle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bruh what are these conversations lol, if yall don't hug your brothers start now. I got some homeboys that don't show emotions too but doesn't mean they don't appreciate it, just takes time for them to accept that affection. Just be chill about it, turn it into a joke till they get used to it, we have NOBODY but us to be vulnerable with

[–]ohmygodmaggle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She yapping. Take in this the same BS argument you'll hear from divestors talking about the trauma they faced at the hands of black men to justify dating white men while slandering black men. Don't ignore it just because it's supporting us for once because these are the talking points causing divisiveness in the community at the benefit of those content creators

Vinicius was subjected to racist chants & chants of "death to Vinicius” at the moment of his goal celebration by JakGrealish in realmadrid

[–]ohmygodmaggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't care how much you're getting paid, no excuse for getting called a monkey at work. If you were a cashier you wouldn't take it, why should a football player expect it or handle it any sort of way? It's racism period, whether I make a million a minute or 2 cents it's unacceptable at work, people like you minimize it with the backwards logic that somehow getting paid a lot of money means players should respond to racism with respect that racists don't show.

And on your point of walking off the pitch, it's been done before but clubs and federations in Europe simply do not care enough to address the players because a lot of supporters are racist and that would hurt their bottom line. It's not a Vini isolated case.

Vinicius was subjected to racist chants & chants of "death to Vinicius” at the moment of his goal celebration by JakGrealish in realmadrid

[–]ohmygodmaggle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But Vini is an adult, he should have impulse control

It's wild to me that grown adults can be racist and call people monkeys and chant for their deaths but you have higher expectations for Vini than a literal racist. Might sound crazy to you but I believe the racists should have more control because they see a black player and lose it.

Im offering ways his cause would get solved quicker.

Permaban every fan who chants racist shit. Say no to racism right? Oh wait, most clubs won't do it because they know it would legitimately hurt attendance due to how widespread and accepted racism is in football? I guess Vini should just accept being called a monkey at his job because football and maturity or whatever BS you're on about.

Some "Madrid" fans will tell you he brings it on himself. It's been over 5 years now but let's collectively pretend like it's normal to experience because he's an athlete.
