Trump was right..

Quote by Ironic

You can dress your opnion up any way you want, but racial discrimination remains bad. And I have only one account.

Ironic the type of dude to wear a hat with a propeller on it.

San Francisco on rampant drug use on city streets: “We need to change”

Drugs, famously, only a California problem.

So are the facts of affirmative action. He faked being black to get into medical school.

Quote by Chryses

I am opposed to racial discrimination. Are you?

You would have thrown rocks at the Irish, I would have given them bread and a job.

That much is clear. You can't even say what makes you American.. lol

Quote by Chryses

California got itself into the mess it is in, and California can get itself out of it.

Perhaps.

So no answer on what policies from your state might be good to consider. Only "California makes me jealous". Noted.

Quote by Chryses

Affirmative Action!

During the American revolution you would have sided with the British over a piece of paper.

Nothing American about you.

Quote by Chryses

Yes, the misguided policies that may California jurisdictions have implemented have degraded life in the Golden State.

So no answer. Noted.

Quote by Chryses

... chuckling ... You might even believe that.

What makes you American?

Quote by Chryses

Please don’t think I have a particular animus against San Francisco. Oakland, on the other side of the bay, has also attempted suicide.

California sucks... Can you tell us how to improve using sample policies from where you are from?

Quote by Chryses

... just not the U.S. Constitution

I excel in being a real American, you don't.

Quote by Chryses

Does Felix have an itch to slaughter hogs?

I got over 6 bucks a pound for my hogs when I was a kid... in the 90's. My hogs made great sausage, so yes.

Quote by Chryses

... chuckling ... Loading who? Heading where?

Remember (if you were ever aware) which justices voted to retain racial discrimination college admissions and which justices did not.

Next we need to get rid of 4-H programs. Do you have any idea how many hogs have been slaughtered as a result?

It's not right.

Charlie Kirk is a fine candidate for full blown, goose-stepping, hail hitlering nazism.

He looks like baby face from dick tracy.

Quote by Buz

Will that be when yall rightwingers start loading them on railroad cars headed for concentration camps?

How would they do that though? Did you not see their coup attempt? It was the most flaccid coup attempt ever.

Charlie Kirk is a drop-out by the way.

It's California's fault that Texas can't control its border.

Quote by AngelEthics

The Little Mermaid is a Dutch story and in the original version, she is described as having a "rose-leaf complexion" and blue eyes. Disney decided to go with a white Aerial in the 80's despite setting it in the Caribbean, then changed the ethnicity for the live action version. Do think they did that because they thought they were going to make more money?

Why did Mel Gibson play William Wallace? Because he had box office draw at the time. I would imagine Colin Ferrell and Chris Hemsworth were cast for the same reasons.

So it's only "political" when a black person is in the movie...

Hugh Jackman was a nobody when he was cast as Wolverine... A 5'3'' Canadian character... Why isn't that "political".

And you thinking that Disney isn't in the business to make money is just silly, not sure what to even say to that. It's pure silliness to think Disney would put anything above making a profit.

The Little Mermaid (2023) has made 544 million on a budget of 250 million.

Quote by AngelEthics

This is my reasoning: it's political because the decision wasn't made based on what was going to make them the most money. It was either based on (cynically) making them look like they care about diversity or (non-cynically) that they really want black and brown children see themselves represented in these classic stories. Would those children watch a movie with a white Ariel? They already have. Are they expanding who they are selling tickets to by doing this? I doubt it. That's what makes it political to me.

Do you think I'm wrong to think so?

lol

So whenever there is a black person in a movie it must be some kind of affirmative action thing to make black people feel better about themselves? Because movie studios aren't in the business of making money they are in the business of forcing diversity? How many black people is the max that can be in a movie so it's not "political"?

Doesn't the story take place in the Caribbean anyway? In the original story the mermaid doesn't even have a name..

When they cast and an Irish guy as Alexander the great was that to make Irish people feel included? Or is that different?

What about Thor? The actor is Australian but the character is supposed from Scandinavian mythology.

Quote by AngelEthics

I hope humanity is moving towards having having more people with your mindset and fewer with Kid Rock's.

Political isn't always bad, either. I think that the choice to have the Little Mermaid represented by a black actor was both political and a good choice.

I don't think you understand... Why is it "political" to you that they made the little mermaid black?

Stephen Miller spraying on some hair is just an all time hilarious microcosm of the way conservatives think and act.

Quote by AngelEthics

Too political for the people he was hoping would buy tickets to his movie. He was worried about limiting the success of his own product. There's nothing controversial about hating an Imperialist regime that sprung out of a Republic (at least in 1977) but putting a white Leia and a black Han in a romantic situation was.

Just odd, like I never think "wow this is political" when I see a black person or a woman on screen.

Funny how it's always conservatives actually getting caught though.

Lawyers who had cases before SCOTUS, including the case that ended Affirmative Action, sent payments to aides of Justice Clarance Thomas from 2019-2021. The payments were never disclosed, & they paid via Venmo, b/c of course they did.

You Do know that Han Solo was nearly black in 1977, but George Lucas thought that would be... too political, right?

Political for who?
