    a few cops liked beating up minorities too much and started killing them instead to get their fix, now I can’t beat minorities anymore either.

    ... wait am I doing this right?

    They'll get loved tendered by the justice system. False imprisonment and so forth. Not like they won't face legal consequences for it. Also pills aren't an enumerated constitutional right.

    Predictably, and rightfully, there was a protest at this race track. There is a long video done by a preacher, Greg Drumwright, who led the protest, if you care to search for it. Mr. Fulp came out to talk with them at about the 28:30 mark in the video. If you don't want to watch an hour and a half long video, there is a short summary, next paragraph.

    He said countless apologies, that it was a joke and he isn't racist, the n-word a few times in the context of he and his black friends using it as a term of endearment amongst themselves. There were lots of "all lives matter" muttered and only when asked specifically to say black lives matter, did he say it. Then they ended the video by saying he would not take down the confederate flag shortly before they all prayed together. There were people with guns in the background on racetrack property saying hateful things, though you couldn't make any of it out in the video. I cringed several times throughout the video.

    I don't think he gave any satisfying answers to the protester's questions or redeemed himself in any meaningful way.

    Funny thing: there is a genuinely real and legit company in Florida called “Bubba Rope” who specialize in high-grade synthetics for things like winch lines.

    they could rightfully SUE this idiot:

    The Dixie Chicks have now renamed themselves to "The Chicks."

    That's it guys we've gone too far. That's just fucking stupid.

    Alison Brie is apologizing for playing a Vietnamese character on Bojack Horseman. If you watch the show, you know her character was born in Boston, has Brie’s normal speaking voice and knows not one one of Vietnamese dialect.

    Apologizing for nothing, to people who both don’t deserve it and aren’t worth it.

    This feels more like years of bitterness about how they were treated by Ol' Dixie and them taking the opportunity to be like "add us to the chorus of people saying 'fuck y'all'"

    I do think there is a portion of people who think “on to the next one” when these things start happening. The whole Lady A issue was full of headlines that were basically “Lady A has changed their name. Are the Dixie Chicks next?”

    As far as years of bitterness? I don’t know about that. I know from my experience playing and touring the south, both their music and Toby Keith’s music came up on the jukebox a lot, and everybody sang drunkenly along just the same.
    I’ve also heard, but can’t verify, that Toby Keith was always a huge Democrat, and just rode the money train with all that.

    I also heard that Alison Krauss took a shit in her ex-husband’s girlfriend’s cowboy boot. And that John Rich licked Faith Hill’s toes.

    so what you’re saying is... they’re not ready to make nice? Perhaps even, not ready to back down?

    There's already a band named "The The."
    Check it out if you don't believe me.
    They would get sued.

    But really, fuck the Dixie Chicks, fuck Lady A-Hole, and fuck any other faux-country act.

    EDIT: Before anyone asks, I'm not changing my name.

    Fuck 'em all I say. The voice actors, the bands, the whole lot.

    So far it's hard for me to get too worked up over all this only because the analytical part of me supersedes the emotional right now. I want to see how far they can run on "full retard" ( Yeah, I know, we're not supposed to say the "r-word" either. Especially when quoting a white actor playing a white actor black face method acting as a black guy. ) I'm hoping for an eventual backlash against all this ridiculousness.

    Lately my morning routine has been chores, then toast and coffee while at the computer with the news on in the background. Then I go to Twitter to see what's trending. Guess where I get a better idea of what's going on in the world.

    Anyone see these two dipshits?

    Screen Shot 2020-06-29 at 9.37.09 AM.png
    There's video of Karen there confronting the protesters, gun pointed and sweeping the whole crowd while numbnuts does the same from behind.

    How long till you think there's actually triggers pulled, "accidentally" or otherwise?

    I hate to sound like an alarmist, but man, this could get really fucking ugly in ways we never imagined.

    there was a dude on Saturday who opened fire at a Louisville protest. He killed one person before being shot himself.
    There’s some very easy to find video of it that I’m not going to link to, because it’s just horrible. But basically the piece of shit starts shooting. While there are others in frame of the cell phone video also armed with guns. I’m surprised they didn’t turn him into Swiss cheese. Maybe because people of the dumbass mindset to openly carry that weaponry into crowds also don’t have the mindset to effectively use it when the situation dictates?

    Serious question: isnt that highly illegal?

    Also, do those two dipshits have some sort of fantasy that their being white and shooting people is a get out of jail free card? I mean, if they have a badge I dont see it.
