Garage2Roadtrip posted:Not really condoning what dude said, but he sounds more country than racist. I don't think in my lifetime I've heard anyone say that as an outright racist remark so much as a country colloquialism. YMMV, etc... So, without judgement, I'd just like to make the observation that when it comes to racist / sexist / fascist / etc. poo poo, accepting or ignoring the behavior is effectively condoning it. This has always been the case, but especially in the current state of US politics. I know you're a good dude, kastein, so I want to be clear that I'm not painting you with a swastika brush. No idea about G2R there so reserving judgement. Just saying that tacitly condoning what is, in this case, probably just ignorant poo poo, but in other cases could be a legitimate racist douchebag dog-whistling, is detrimental to society because it normalizes ignorant or flat-out hateful behavior and implies to the actor that we're ok with it.

kastein posted:E: to give you an idea of what kind of person I saved this boat from, he proclaimed he "n*****-rigged it" so he could drive it to work with the plates from his Ford ranger slapped on it with no insurance, and boasted about field bombing random cheap cars on the farm he works on while blind drunk. At least he knew he should sell this before he was tempted to do the same thing to it (and told me as much.) I may be from the wrong part of the country, because I don't understand this. What is "field bombing" cars?

Driving them stupidly around an empty farm paddock while drunk and/or high and possibly eventually flipping them or otherwise loving them. I did that with some friends years ago because we wanted to try and flip a car and get it to roll. We got an early 80s Commodore wagon and welded in the basic-est cage and harness you've ever seen. It was actually really hard to flip it, we ended up digging a ditch we could slide it into, and it only ended up on its side.

I fought installing a turnbuckle for an hour today until I looked super-close. Someone had so perfectly cross-threaded it that the lefthanded end had both threadforms in it. I could spin a right-handed bolt into both ends of the turnbuckle. My potato's lens is cracked and smeared with grease, hydraulic fluid, jet fuel, or something, so this is the best pic I could get. That's both left- and right-hand thread 1/4-28.

Our leading hand once looked up at a truck mirror that had clipped a tree and was being held together with duct tape until the new one we ordered showed up and loudly proclaimed "Who the gently caress N****r rigged this abortion?" While our Aboriginal works supervisor (and his boss) was standing behind him. That was entertaining to watch.

We can spout moral high-ground all day, but the fact of the matter is, this guy that kastein encountered isn't the problem with America. He's not propagating racism by using a term that everyone in his family, and his friends and their family say as simply as calling a tissue a kleenex, the likelihood that he even encounters non-white people is probably pretty small in his agrarian microcosm that he exists in. TLDR: I don't talk poo poo about people because of their colloquialisms, and lecturing to/about them changes NOTHING.

How do you even have a swastika brush anyway? Wouldn't it need to be a stamp?

He's not propagating racism by using a term that everyone in his family, and his friends and their family say as simply as calling a tissue a kleenex, the likelihood that he even encounters non-white people is probably pretty small in his agrarian microcosm that he exists in. TLDR: I don't talk poo poo about people because of their colloquialisms, and lecturing to/about them changes NOTHING. So first, I didn't say a thing about you except "I don't know you so I'm not assuming anything about you". Second, if you're going to refute my argument, refute the core: acceptance / ignoring is tacit approval. Third: yes, dropping the n-bomb is propagating racism, because it is a racist and derogatory term. It's not the same as using the word "Xerox" to mean photocopy, or "kleenex" to mean facial tissue. It's a word that was literally invented to describe African slaves as something less than human. Fourth: lecturing isn't necessary - even stopping the conversation with a "really?" look for a few seconds makes it clear that you're not ok with casual racism, and helps to de-normalize the behaviour. This can also be used with sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, and other relatively common forms of bias that make the world a worse place a little bit at a time. Finally: you're right, unsophisticated hicks who have grown up in an environment where casual racism is acceptable and consistent aren't the problem with America today - the real problem is the attitude of people who know better that microaggressions aren't worth countering. Many small things add up to large patterns of behaviour, whether conscious or un-, and can result in things like neo-nazis and Klansmen marching unmasked in the streets of an American city in 2017 because they feel comfortable doing so. Normalization of poor behaviour / things that society shouldn't accept is what leads to them becoming acceptable. Call me an SJW or whatever, I'm just a white North American male who has come to understand that life is easier for me on the whole, who understands patterns of behaviour and history, and who would like things to be fairer in general for all people. I'm not judging you, but if I didn't say something here I'd be disappointed in myself for contributing to the normalization of casual racism. Hopefully end derail? On my phone and don't have a mechanical failure photo handy. Sorry, mods.

A dude at work said "porch monkeys" yesterday and literally did not know it was a racist thing (he wasn't even talking about black people). I cringed and told him quietly 'hey man, that's racist. You can't say porch monkeys' So even when it's not meant to be racist, when it's just shocking ignorance or stupidity, sometimes people need a little nudge to let them know they're doing something embarrassing. e: vvv lol maybe we should make that video part of our training program theres a will theres moe fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Aug 26, 2017 |
