"Call them the sweaty" can you explain this phrase to me? Or is it a typo lol

They're not weird, they're bad. Weird is not bad.

My mother asked me a similar question some 15 years ago. It was why we didn't have White History Month or White Entertainment Television.

Sadly, I didn't have the ammo to fire back and say something like, "what about March thru January, and maybe all the rest of the television on TV since forever?"

did she ever think why it might be called black ish... you couldn't translate that situation to a white family in the US.

We spent the last 2 decades feeding the trolls. Making them think they mattered even if it was to be hated or ridiculed by their enemies.

YES! I have done my utmost to ignore these neanderthals my entire life because I grew up on 4chan and learned "do NOT feed the trolls" early. But apparently every news reporter and Facebook boomer since 2014 did not get the memo, and -waves at the general state of the world- here we are.

How the fuck do you make a living looking for things on tv to be mad about, and why is anyone cheering him on.

Spoken like you must not be recovering from a childhood in a conservative home, lol.

Finding things to be mad about, is living. It is as natural as breathing. Like breathing, you don’t notice you’re doing it unless you notice you’re doing it. It is what you think about when you plan your day and what makes you open your mouth to socialize with other people. It strongly informs your personality, your social circles, and your hobbies.

Just be careful you don’t accidentally spend years wrenching your brain out of the negativity malaise, or you might start to do dumb things like being content with what you have, working less, wasting time on rewarding hobbies, or doing nice things for people without expecting something in return. People you aren’t even related to! Could you imagine??

Of course up above when I say things to be “mad about,” that could also mean “afraid of or confused about, but I am tough and strong and not scared of things and don’t have wussy feminine emotions and so I’m mad rawr!”

Edit to add: I’m being tough on conservatives because they deserve it, but being addicted to outrage (along with all your favorite psychological biases and logical fallacies) is something that everybody has to be concerned with for themselves.

Remember when Capernick did that one thing that wasn't football while on camera? The moment do anything that isn't football it becomes woke or DEI.

It's because they are in a performing role. They are token individuals destroying their bodies to create entertainment for the audience. It's no different than how the south treats rodeo as some kind of beacon of equality for black individuals. It's purely a facade to point at when denying the existence of inequality and dismissing civil rights arguments.

It's also directly tied to the myth of the primal black man - all brawn and no brain. A racist sex symbol.

EDIT: typos

EDIT 2: flipped brain and brawn, didn't notice. Fixed.

If you roll your eyes and think 'Oh, here they go being racist again' while the news says how what they are saying is 'controversial' or 'could be seen as' or any other dismissive phrasing then that is what the post is talking about. Society refuses to call out their racism directly, which enables it.
