I dated a black girl in college on and off for a year. We went our many time to the bar, restaurant, wherever. Never had anyone say a word. In fact I just saw her at a Michigan football game last year and it brought back good memories. Funny thing was she was from Detroit but only dated white guys..ended up marrying a white guy who I met and drank with last fall. I said to her did you tell him we went out? She said "No, Lets leave that part out"
Its your little secret. You two have that.I dated a black girl in college on and off for a year. We went our many time to the bar, restaurant, wherever. Never had anyone say a word.

I’m from Louisiana and David Duke made it a thing here. So yeah I’ve been hearing it a long long time.
More like, "New Orleans is a jungle" or "welfare queens are taking over" or "aren't you proud of your heritage?" Until the statues thing it was rarely wrapped in Confederacy talk, really never. Reminder: we surrendered quick and good.
It is true and we have done a great job in reducing the threat and even stopping several attacks before they were pulled off. The difference between the two is the threat from white nationalists are almost always lone-wolf nut jobs. The threat from radical islam comes from more coordinated attacks often times with multiple perpetrators. They also don't have large organizations such as ISLS which can finance and plan attacks which could result in massive causualties.
I had a friend of a friend who was a white nationalist. He disturbed me because he was a nice smart guy. That was 20 years ago, no idea what became of him.
White nationalism obviously exists, but the blending occurs both ways. White nationalist groups playing as patriotic nationalists and nationalists getting painted as white nationalists.
I continue to believe that the quantity of racism hasn't changed all that much in recent years. Rather people are much more comfortable spouting their nonsense as their political idols provide them the cover to do so
The Internet has provided an easy platform for scumbags of all stripes to find others like them.The Commish said:
I don’t understand- what is the difference please?jonessed said:
Side note, the article above contains a reference and link to an article supporting racist policy in America, but what caused me to pause for a second was that the reason they were able to do so, was that the article was also posted in The Atlantic -- in 1896. I don't think I realized The Atlantic was that old.
Yep. In her own words, 'It's terrifying.' https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ocasio-cortez-on-discovering-garbage-disposals-it-is-terrifying-2019-05-07?mod=mw_theo_homepage
Nice try. You are reading it wrong. Not only 'have never seen one'. Ok, fine. But this: 'had no idea what one is'. “I am told this is a garbage disposal."
Her own words. Big difference. She may as well said 'I have no idea what a combine (harvester) is'. My guess is she probably doesn't know what that is as well. I mean this is grade school stuff.It seems legit story. I would hope for her sake she is trolling, but this is pretty consistent with her level of brightness.
I think you vastly overestimate what millenials and gen 2020'ers know about old stuff. More importantly, it has nothing to do with her "intelligence".Nice try. You are reading it wrong. Not only 'have never seen one'. Ok, fine. But this: 'had no idea what one is'. “I am told this is a garbage disposal."
how is this, in any way, indicative of how "bright" she is? are you referring to the fact that whoever told her it was a "garbage disposal" was trolling her (or got it wrong) and she believed it? Or that garburators are so ubiquitous that not knowing of their existence is somehow probative of her intelligence?
I honestly don't know how a 29 year old that grew up in a wealthy area of New York doesn't know what a garbage disposal is.
Yeah, well, that I agree with. I don't want to get banned but you are correct in their knowledge levels. "Old stuff." LOL. I remember as a kid asking why we didn't have one in the kitchen. You realize they have been a round since the late 20s. Which means they were "old stuff" for us in the 70s as well but we knew what they were.
my point was that they are no longer used in new housing projects and haven't been for some time (at least where I live).
She grew up in a nice house, not a housing project. And my guess is she has relatives she visited it that likely had one too. Like someone said...the left had a field day mocking Palin for some of her comments. When you say something stupid people will laugh at it and have fun with it.
IIRC MC Gas Money/RokNRoll or whatever he goes by hadn't lived in a place with a garbage disposal until his most recent apartment in Texas and clogged it up with an apple core, not thinking the seeds in it were any problem.I gotta say, I just moved to a place with my 1st garbage disposal and I kind of get where she's coming from. Every food I've looked up is not supposed to go down it.
Can you not imagine that she's having a little fun with it? It's like Beto and the missing turtle. Political polarization is sucking all the fun out of things.
She didn't grow up in NY City. She grew up in a nice house in Westchester County..and yes it is quite funny.
I'd prefer the people promoting green new deals to be familiar with the different ways garbage is disposed of. It's because of environmental reasons some places no longer use them or have banned them in the past.
Palin was mocked for being a vice-presidential candidate who didn't know anything about geo-political matters. You think that is the same thing? okay.
that place she grew up in was really nice...how many square feet do you think it was? 800? 1000 even?
