I genuinely don't know what makes someone this racist.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Being completely insulated. Living in a strictly white community with conservative norms easily allows people like this to flourish.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

Nah, this is far more intentional and less subtle. This is to get attention, for show. To get the ear of Donald Trump and his ilk.

My mum is like this. She's in her late 70s now, it's getting worse and becoming a real problem in our relationship. She has this almost hysterical fear and dislike of immigrants, but she can't really say why. Just random stuff about how they are taking away our traditional way of life. She lives in a very white area, I live in a multicultural inner city, and on the rare occasions she visits she is shocked - "Look, she's wearing one of those hijab things!"

She was always politically naive and a bit racist but never this bad. I suspect it's largely due to the media she consumes and the people she hangs out with.

Psychopathy. It’s really that simple. People aren’t people, they are objects in the environment to manipulate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think that's sociopathy. I might be wrong though. Then again none of you are real so who cares?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Technically they are not diagnoses, but informal terms that describe Anti-Social Personality Disorder.

In general, psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.

And for a white supremacist she sure doesn't look caucasian.

Neither did the leader of the Proud Boys

You say edgy shit in highschool because it sounds cool, and no one ever beats your ass so you keep doing it.

I'm pretry much on board for replacing *ist/*phobic with just plain weird now. Enough of them seem to equate being called racist/sexist/transphobic or whatever with eliciting anger, which is what they thrive on.

There's still a time and place for the specific (and accurate) labels, but many of these clowns are just sad and, well, weird attention-seekers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

I'm with this and have started at it myself when applicable. It also saves you time because it doesn't trigger that 3 hour pre programmed rant even though you said the exact same thing.

The other day in a meme channel of all things, in reply to some dumb Taco Bell "in the ad, in reality" image dude goes off about how the right image is actually a Weiner that identies as a taco, so i replied with "pretty fucking weird to be that obsessed with what strangers have in their takeout bag"

He didnt have anything to say to that lol

Her high school boyfriend must have dumped her crazy ass for a black girl

She is living proof that hate ages you. I would never have guessed she's 31.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

All that blow-up doll plastic surgery isn't helping.

I would absolutely love for Melania to file for divorce like... maybe a week out for election day... Can we organise a go-fund-me? I don't want to give rich assholes more money but I'd pay to contribute to his total and utter public humiliation.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 days ago (4 children)

why would they divorce? do you think this is the first time trump cheated? do you think she'd give up on the money and status for that?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (4 children)

How much money and status is realistically left?

An old man and convicted felon who is in obvious mental decline with an unstable empire who cheats on you publicly... she could probably do better financially off a book deal and interview tour.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Old man with obvious mental decline means the old man will be gone soon and most of the cash will go to the family.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not only that, being his second? Third? Wife, she absolutely had to sign a very good prenup.

She went into this with eyes wide open, as a top level gold digger. If she was worried about her image, she never would have married him to begin with.

She's just counting the days till he croaks and gets most of whatever he has left. Then she can get the book deal and speaking tour if he was still relevant when he died.

That's a gold digger's bread and butter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

that's not the way maga thinks about him, they think he's a god or something idk

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Yeah if she stays married to Trump until he dies she gets a sweet $20k/year presidential spouse pension for the rest of her life. That and I bet she's subject to an draconian prenup.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

She's also very likely his handler.

I'm pretty firm on my stance that we should punch all nazis, but I'm not sure this "genetically superior" specimen would even feel it past all her filler.

Can someone explain what COLLA GREENS means in this context? Collared greens?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of that scene from the office

Michael Scott: ... colored greens ...

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: What?

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: That doesn't really make any sense. You don't call them collard people. That's offensive.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Jesus fucking christ, that was such a good joke. His ignorant / accidental(?) racism as a caricature was so funny to me because I know so many people like that

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, my white grandfather's favorite meal. Collard greens and corn bread.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

Oh yeah and some butter beans and black eyed peas for sides .... I'd hit that shit like it owed me money....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

As a white man, I love collard greens and corn bread. I can understand how it became associated with (poor) black communities, but damn is it good. It shouldn't be an insult like some people make it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I live in the South. Nobody here ever heard of “Soul Food”.

Everybody eats that because it’s awesome.

Go to a meat and three after Church on Sunday. You will see it full of happy old White People eating exactly what you described.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Exactly: my first time outside the South eating at a Soul Food place was funny, because to me it was just Food.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I've got a whole song arranged for Appalachian/mountain dulcimer about how great collard greens are. Iirc it's by the prolific author "traditional".

Edit: oops, it's about turnip greens. Totally different.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah collard greens. There was a video where Harris gave her recipe when asked by someone...you know just once like a normal human being responding directly to a question.

Apparently Loomer thinks that's wasting too much time instead of talking about the issues that matter: made up racist allegations that have already been investigated and aren't actually happening.

Yes, collard greens. Loomer is just using racist "ebonics" in her post.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Lady of any order is a stretch. How about Goto Gold Digger?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Anyone got a bingo board for this?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I wouldn’t feel comfortable carrying that around. It’s gonna have some awful things written on it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maybe that's why he doesn't want another debate. He can't contain himself. I was listening, not watching, but the parts I did watch he wouldn't even look at her. He hates her so much.

Uh, she's the one who keeps mentioning curry. Self-sustaining lie?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I have never heard President Biden speak on such foods
