The great philosopher Yellowman has a lot to say about this: Seh, if you have a start, yuh mus have an end If yuh have a pey-per, yuh mus 'ave a pen Five plus five, it equal to ten If yuh 'ave a goat, you put dem in a pen Jump fe happines, yuh jump fe joy Yuh no fe call Yellowman nuh bwoi The origin of the use of "man" came from Black jazz musicians over 100 years ago. They would call each other "man" as a sign of respect, because they were often called the disrespectful "boy."
Putting here as I think it is more relevant that the sports thread. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ler-of-the-year-jess-carter-england-interview Jess Carter has spent her life grappling with when to hold back and when to speak up; wrestling with being naturally herself, embodying the characteristics her parents instilled in her of being open, honest, vocal and confident, and subduing herself because, while society values those traits, in a black woman they can be viewed negatively. Racist stereotypes of black women as aggressive, confrontational, loud, ill-tempered, overbearing and more, mean that black women walk a tightrope of acceptability, where one wobble can bring them down in horrific and unreasonable ways. Yeah, not just in the UK. Here, too.
Tommy Lee Walker exonerated 70 years after execution for rape and murder of Venice Parker https://abcnews.go.com/US/tommy-lee-walker-exonerated-70-years-after-execution/story?id=129465114 Walker, who had no criminal record, maintained his innocence and said that when Parker was killed he was witnessing his girlfriend give birth to his only son -- Edward Smith -- an alibi corroborated during the trial by 10 witnesses, The Innocence Project noted. In the absence of forensic and circumstantial evidence, prosecutors relied on an alleged confession that Walker made, according to the group. Walker later recanted his confession, according to the Innocence Project. "The only direct evidence connecting Tommy Lee Walker to this offense is a confession obtained through the use of coercive tactics," the court's declaration stated.

400 years of miseducation created that stereotype, a few poorly treated Black folks perpetuated it, and now she has to live it down or become part od it.
Christians got to ABC. the link doesn't work anymore. Was the victim (the unjustly incarcerated dude) Black and the accuser White? Typical. EDIT: nutter's correct link worked.
A black French player has suddenly left Club America. The reason is racism directed toward his daughters. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7013444/2026/02/01/racism-mexico-saint-maximin/
It was Latinos who murdered Pretti. This isn't a caste system. Or it is, but it works for REAL Spaniards, not the fake ones like Machado.

This tweet contains an ad for Andy Barr, who is running for Senate in Kentucky. It’s only 30 seconds, but if you’re pressed for time you can skip to :20, where he says it’s not against the law to be white. As a North Carolinian who grew up and spent his early adulthood watching Jesse Helms’ ads, this is the most racist ad I’ve ever seen. Someone from Louisiana probably saw something that can top this when David Duke ran for office. Or maybe not. https://x.com/barrforsenate/status/2020223445246652664?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^2020226517284843886|twgr^2d4c478fd047372c8e4451346e515a1d74254b1c|twcon^s3_&ref_url=https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/02/the-state-of-the-race-in-the-commonwealth
You'd be forgiven if you saw that and thought it was a parody of a Republican Nutjob, like Stephen Colbert used to be on The Coal-bear Repor." But not in 2026...
I guess things have changed at the AOH. I'm completely gobsmacked by this statement. Here's the webpage. https://aoh.com/2026/02/08/aoh-stat...ion-of-former-president-and-first-lady-obama/
Donnie does love The Golded Age. This cartoon with poem was published in Life Magazine on May 11th, 1893. The poem is suggesting that the monkeys in the zoo are sad that they get called by Irish names.
If we survive the age of trump, we should consider constitutional amendments to eradicate this stuff.

American electoral politics have followed a predictable trend since its inception. One party has several decades of dominance where opposition parties tend to move more towards whichever the party of dominance is based in, with it reversing. I expected 2024's election to continue that trend, but failed to account for the change in demographics thanks to health advancements making the electorate older than it's ever been, combined with mass media/the pandemic's effect on Generation Z. I'll give it to Conservatives-->they've waged one hell of a war against trends. It just depends. If Democrats make the right structural changes and stop being controlled opposition then the whole game would change. By structural changes I mean removing the filibuster; granting Puerto Rico and DC statehood, lowering the number of people each representative represents by let's say half so instead of representing 700-780k people it goes down to say 380k, and adding seats to the Supreme Court. Would those things be undemocratic? Nah. They would be anti-Republic. They do that? They could be in power for quite awhile.
For those of you who haven’t or won’t watch: Carl answered by talking about specific ethnicities rather than “white” culture. So he spoke of the Scots-Irish warrior culture, and IIRC Italian food. Murphy pointed out that Carl was NOT talking about “white” culture, which makes perfect sense. There is no such thing as “white culture” except as racism. There IS such a thing as Greek-American culture (thank you David Sedaris.). There IS such a thing as Italian-American culture (“in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero!”). Etc etc etc. But the only “white culture” is when white supremacists try to dress up their evil and stupid ideology with bogus academic/intellectual pretensions.
This isn’t true. There have been several eras of 50-50 politics where no party dominates. We are in one now. I think you need to reset your internet identity because whatever it is, the algo is sending you to afactual TikTok’s and YouTube videos. You’re very misinformed.
