Have the stewards yet made a decision on a "blackface" image of people that happens to look just like said person looks in real life? Or, as we call it here in my guilded trap house here in the hood, "face."

They said that those who may possibly be offended have ALL say in whether or not they actually are, nullifying previous entrants' efforts in this field.

Thanks for getting me in touch with them btw.

I like to think that Green Arrow is the Cyberpunk 2077 release version of Corbic.

Is that a slick suggestion that the powers that be should put him out of our collective misery until he has his shit together?

Saw an article earlier saying that Sony's decision to remove the game/refund players was unprecedented and a huge insult. I couldn't help but think 'is this your first day on the internet?'.

Also, I have more faith in CDPR getting CP2077's shit together.

I do not believe in anyway period. My beliefs and views are superior to anyone else's. Nor would I put someone down for theirs.



Yes I do believe systemic racism is real. Its gotten better in my opinion but still exists today sadly. Prejudices is something I believe the human race will never fully evolve from.

I am originally from Lebanon & my name is Hasan. In the early 2000's to current, I certainly felt the hate against Arabs. It has definitely tapered down in the past ten years.

African Americans & Latinos suffer the most in my opinion in America with this problem. Here is where what I am about to say is going to get very controversial.

Yes the system has certainly done its part over our history. I am a supporter of law enforcement, but I also know that there are many officers nation wide who have stained the thin blue line. Who act differently depending on what race they are dealing with. Assuming you are a criminal because you are a person of color. I have had this discussion with a peace officer & his response was "We act based on statistics, I know who I am more likely to have a physical altercation with so we take extra precautions."

IMO not okay not one bit. Everyone deserves to be treated the same with respect and dignity, unless you show good reason that will not work.

Now I said I was going to get controversial here it is.

The system is one half of the problem, the other half is the community's.

Allow me to give an example. You have a young African American kid who is going to school & doing extremely well. He is well dressed with a exquisite vocabulary. Well his peers start to clown on him. "why you acting white foo" "why are pants up so high ?" "Fuck home work lets go hang"

This right here is a problem. Why do you get picked on for trying to educate your self? Most people will not say it but the communities also need to work on them self's in conjunction with America as whole getting its act together & treating everyone the same. With dignity & respect.

I need to apologize. I read my comment back and it certainly does come off in a way that was distasteful, Sorry for that.

Thanks for your answer man. I really just wanted to see if it is still possible to find common ground.

Ahh, that's where the miscommunication is. Your original statement makes more sense now.

They are usurpers of our shared power and authority in a democracy. All this obstructionism and bellyaching from Congressional Republicans doesn't actually help those married to the identity.



The Democrats are only marginally better here and the silver lining is the younger more progressive members are far more transparent and consistent.

The younger, more consistent progressives aren't the pres and vp elect. I know what id get from them.

This has been the most boring week of the election season.
McConnell goes as far as to say it is over on the heels of the Electoral College vote, no substantial tantrums in courts across the nation, me burning down with rage over an avatar I made on the Funko website months ago that happens to look like me. I have been watching Burn Notice for the last few days.
Fuck... I need some new drama in my life!

Not one bit of the republican platform today is about societal liberalism or fiscal conservativism. Fiscal conservatism as pushed by the Reagan administration was, as Lee Atwater described it, about damaging minorities. The republican party of today is the chickens coming home to roost.

African Americans, have for decades been left out of access to financial services. With homeownership, the single most important key to cross generational wealth, AAs have been denied and underserved. Denied access to GI loans. Redlined. Concentrated into poor, rental heavy communities. The president met his philosophical mentor, Ray Cohn defending himself from a racial discrimination lawsuit. When there are no doctors, lawyers, bankers in your community, when no one owns property, how would you impart that kind of attitude into people. Anytime there is a recession, a pandemic, or the local community just feels like it, AAs are at the losing end of having property (Tulsa '21, Rosewood '23, Treme (New Orleans '68), St. Louis demolishing AA neighborhoods for highways) destroyed. These are government sanctioned actions against the pursuit of happiness. Today, like always, AA culture is about making something from nothing so I understand any one who doesn't trust police and anyone who doesn't value a mortgage. Today, if you are AA you still can get loans from banks at worst rates then other races.

But sure, kids in high school are the problem.

[kingkilburn]

Yeah. That was bad enough I didn't even want to reply. In 2020 no one has the excuse of not knowing about all that and more that minorities have dealt with.

Flynn wants Trump to declare martial law and literally carry out a coup d'etat.
Giuliani is trying to get Trump to appoint Sidney Powell as special counsel to investigate election fraud.
Trump "thinks" the Russian hack into federal networks via tampering with Solar Winds hardware is a hoax.

Easy there, he will accuse you of discriminating against him. I am expecting to hear from his lawyer any day here.

No one who has met me in my adult life (and several in this very thread over the past 18+ years have) could accurately refer to me as "neck beard," physically, literally or even figuratively.
I do, however, enjoy how upset you are despite how much you will assuredly expend a ton of energy claiming to not care.
Feel free to ban me if you're so over me commenting in this thread.
Valiant effort in your attempt to get me to neg rep you and prove how discriminated against you've been here... I mean, I will eventually do it, but you're still wrong.

[Green Arrow]

Nah not offended, and I do get quite a bit of amusement watching you and Kyle tug each other. The funniest part is this isnt the only venue for you two to discuss dissenting members. So I guess the game is who cares less?

And yes dawg, you got a weird beard.

G.ARROW OUT!

Hey, there's a ton of people suffering right now. Some group therapy is healthy tbh, and I'm genuinely proud of them for being able to publicly show the grief of their loss.

[Future240]

This is just sad at this point.

I'm guessing all these republicans forgot about the "she can still win" memes and jokes they were making when Hillary loss.

Remember, folks, this is the Leader of the Free World*.

I'm looking forward to it because Zombie Best Describes My Faculties, Green Lantern Wonder Twin Powers Activate, and Corbic's Been Quietly Turning A Mustang into Hillbilly Mad Max's Pursuit Special will be in DC. I've given them racehorse names because they're the thoroughbred argumentators of this hurr thread.
