Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

White people would pay to see black performers in the 50s, but wouldn't let them use the same water fountains or building entrances.
You can be a bigoted prick while still employing people you're bigoted against.
What don't you like? It's an example of "having a black friend doesn't make you not racist" in the same way that "hiring a gay man doesn't make you a friend of gays". Trump has already indicated that he will (again) disallow trans people in the military.
You ever hear somebody use the phrase "he's one of the good ones?" Because I get the feeling trump uses it quite a bit. Besides - it's obvious Trump cares more about loyalty than he does ideology. Even Hitler had a homosexual in his organization at the start.
Fine - then compare it to Hitler with Ernst Röhm then.
Looks like you are projecting your spinning head onto others.
