Miyamoto Musashi posted:If the point of the cartoon is that Sharpton, Obama, and de Blasio are race-hustling dividers, then why do they have a multicultural group of children calmly following them? Doesn't look like the kids got the message that they're all supposed to hate and mistrust each other. They look pretty peaceful and united to me. Only minorities, mixed race families and children are without blame in the racism game?

Dr. VooDoo posted:Can someone show me where Sharpton called for the death of cops? I'd love to see it I mean with how many cartoons there are based around it he must have said it a lot! I'm pretty sure where this all comes from is: Some protesters did chant stuff about killing cops. If you've ever been to any large protest, there is always the 20 or so anarcho-punks saying stuff like "one bullet, one cop." Of course, since these protests are all about tensions between police and communities, a lot of TV news has been showing the video of those people every time they talk about the protests (after all, their job is to make viewers angry and/or scared). And obviously, since Sharpton personally instructed every protester on what to do, there is blood on his hands. e: others have pointed out the parallel to the Las Vegas cop shooting. Has anyone brought up the one near Pittsburgh a few years ago? A guy shot 3 cops, gunned them down in an ambush, because of "Obama's gonna take our guns away, you can take it from my cold dead hands" rhetoric. A deranged man letting current rhetoric drive him to murder, of police? Oh but he has nothing to do with the broader tea party movement you say, okay. Phew. e2: The response in Pittsurgh, besides (rightfully) memorializing the three poor guys who got shot, was to call his division of the police "The Fightin' 5th" and put window decals to that effect, to show support. I hate this. First, it's supporting a culture of cop hero worship, describing cops as you would describe a squad in the army, saying cops should be warriors, etc. But also frankly it's disrespectful to the 3 victims - they were not fighting. They were gunned down unawares in the man's front yard, thinking they were responding to a domestic dispute. To say they went down fighting is really disrespectful. I never get to vent about this so here you go, sorry thread. alnilam fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Dec 24, 2014 |

Don't use that term; it's most definitely a slur for black people. The Right willfully misinterprets any public figure's attempt to open dialogue about race in America in order to paint them as shrill dividers. AGC.

The only other time I've seen "moon crickets" being used was by my friend's racist aunt to refer to black people. Urbandictionary seems to think it's a derogatory term against blacks as well, so I think they're using that one wrong.

Hundreds of lovely Rall cartoons about drones doesn't change the fact that "Our drone program is super-lovely." is a good opinion. The problem I have with that Bors is that it's really poorly timed. The "Hands Up!" thing has been around for months, so it's weird to do a random cartoon about it and another subject that hasn't been in the news much (well, not as much as it should) on Christmas Eve.

Zemyla posted:Remember when some folks came off of Cliven Bundy's ranch and killed some cops? I posted this in response to an argument from my uncle that Bill DeBlasio is directly responsible for the deaths of those two cops, and he just outright ignored it and continued to be a pain in the rear end. So yeah, the only reason most of these people are getting upset about those cops is so they can use it as a cudgel against black protestors.

Sutton responded with the following: quote:Kelly would make his Whiskey Sour with Black Velvet whiskey - which he considers fine quality. “The Ladies” recognize a man of sophistication when they see he drinks Black Velvet. If his regular store is sold out of Black Velvet, however (or if another brand is on sale) then any brand in a plastic bottle will do (2 Jiggers on average, but more so depending on the day, season, etc.)

Since there's a lot of chat here about this issue, here's a really neat Reuters article about black NYC cops being racially profiled when off duty, and usually getting harassed (or even punished job-wise) if they try to bring it up. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/12/23/us-usa-police-nypd-race-insight-idUSKBN0K11EV20141223 I thought it was too fascinating not to share.
