It is a word meant to offend whites, yet it only cracks us up. No white person in history has been offended by it. It’s great.
Well there just isnt any historical baggage to it. Cracker kinda does but apparently that also a southern gentleman thing.
If I remember correctly, Malcolm X said in his autobiography that it stems from the fact that supposedly white folks honk like geese when we talk.
As someone repped me, and I agree with, the stigma is that only white people can be racist. I would like to immediately dispel that mythology and add to it that when security has to be called to protect a certain color of people, due to the hostility from a damn tennis game.... there is a larger societal issue at play. I don’t think people should have voted trump, but I understand why they did. Like your point was ultimately wrong, but the logic in getting there was sound.
Like how "redneck" is supposed to be insulting but down here we brag about our redneck credentials? Hell, if it wasn't for redneck engineering I wouldn't get half the shit done around the house... nor would I have as many injuries as I've incurred, but that's beside the point.
Welp, the SEC is suing Elon for fraud and seeking to bar him from running a public company. All because he got upset at short sellers and went full retard. Idiot.
Also, Elon Musk has been removed from a Chairman of the Board of Tesla and Tesla has to pay $20MM in fines to the SEC.
They made him the same deal the day before, at half of that fine. He balked, they doubled it the next day. No fucking around there. 3 year ban from being on the board, and they have to bring in 2 new external board members. It's a $20 million fine for both him personally and Tesla, and he's buying $20 million of stock from Tesla so that it won't affect their cash flow.
So he’s not going to go on camera and rant and rave about how everyone except for him is wrong? That’s not how we do things these days.
Considering their cash flow is almost entirely artificial, thats the wisest decision hes made in months.
Italy's bond market tanks. Again. What a joke the EU is sometimes. Italy and Greece are never going to recovery economically, at least not for the next 50 years at least. And other EU nations are in line to start dropping right behind them.
If you're looking for some fun, make sure you're in a grocery store or some other crowded place with all kinds of people with various demographics at 2:20 pm eastern today. https://www.fema.gov/news-release/2...test-planned-oct-3-test-messages-will-be-sent I was going to put this in the WDT, but I'm sure it will immediately turn political (gah, Trump!) or serious (gah, government has my phone number!). It's interesting to see how this news is being reported. Depending on how the outlet wants to spin the story, the headline is either a "nationwide alert system" a "presidential alert" or "a message from Trump." Either way, it's kind freaky when everybody's phones start making that amber alert noise in a crowded place. And, then, watching the "wtf" reactions from people that didn't know it was coming should be entertaining.
