I genuinely don't know what makes someone this racist.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds 62 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Being completely insulated. Living in a strictly white community with conservative norms easily allows people like this to flourish.

[–] Organichedgehog 11 points 3 months ago

Nah, this is far more intentional and less subtle. This is to get attention, for show. To get the ear of Donald Trump and his ilk.

[–] stoly 38 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Psychopathy. It’s really that simple. People aren’t people, they are objects in the environment to manipulate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think that's sociopathy. I might be wrong though. Then again none of you are real so who cares?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Technically they are not diagnoses, but informal terms that describe Anti-Social Personality Disorder.

In general, psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made.

My mum is like this. She's in her late 70s now, it's getting worse and becoming a real problem in our relationship. She has this almost hysterical fear and dislike of immigrants, but she can't really say why. Just random stuff about how they are taking away our traditional way of life. She lives in a very white area, I live in a multicultural inner city, and on the rare occasions she visits she is shocked - "Look, she's wearing one of those hijab things!"

She was always politically naive and a bit racist but never this bad. I suspect it's largely due to the media she consumes and the people she hangs out with.

[–] psycho_driver 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And for a white supremacist she sure doesn't look caucasian.

[–] RestrictedAccount 6 points 3 months ago

Neither did the leader of the Proud Boys

I'm pretry much on board for replacing *ist/*phobic with just plain weird now. Enough of them seem to equate being called racist/sexist/transphobic or whatever with eliciting anger, which is what they thrive on.

There's still a time and place for the specific (and accurate) labels, but many of these clowns are just sad and, well, weird attention-seekers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

I'm with this and have started at it myself when applicable. It also saves you time because it doesn't trigger that 3 hour pre programmed rant even though you said the exact same thing.

The other day in a meme channel of all things, in reply to some dumb Taco Bell "in the ad, in reality" image dude goes off about how the right image is actually a Weiner that identies as a taco, so i replied with "pretty fucking weird to be that obsessed with what strangers have in their takeout bag"

He didnt have anything to say to that lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You say edgy shit in highschool because it sounds cool, and no one ever beats your ass so you keep doing it.

Her high school boyfriend must have dumped her crazy ass for a black girl

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

sleeping with trump might do that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

No, she's been racist for a long time it seems. Being a racist sycophant maybe allows you (if it's a privilege) to sleep with Trump.

I'm pretty firm on my stance that we should punch all nazis, but I'm not sure this "genetically superior" specimen would even feel it past all her filler.

[–] A7thStone 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She is living proof that hate ages you. I would never have guessed she's 31.

All that blow-up doll plastic surgery isn't helping.

[–] Contingencyfork 27 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Can someone explain what COLLA GREENS means in this context? Collared greens?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of that scene from the office

Michael Scott: ... colored greens ...

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: What?

Stanley: It's collard greens.

Michael Scott: That doesn't really make any sense. You don't call them collard people. That's offensive.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

Jesus fucking christ, that was such a good joke. His ignorant / accidental(?) racism as a caricature was so funny to me because I know so many people like that

[–] chemical_cutthroat 33 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, my white grandfather's favorite meal. Collard greens and corn bread.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

As a white man, I love collard greens and corn bread. I can understand how it became associated with (poor) black communities, but damn is it good. It shouldn't be an insult like some people make it.

[–] RestrictedAccount 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I live in the South. Nobody here ever heard of “Soul Food”.

Everybody eats that because it’s awesome.

Go to a meat and three after Church on Sunday. You will see it full of happy old White People eating exactly what you described.

Yes, collard greens. Loomer is just using racist "ebonics" in her post.

[–] Delphia 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I would absolutely love for Melania to file for divorce like... maybe a week out for election day... Can we organise a go-fund-me? I don't want to give rich assholes more money but I'd pay to contribute to his total and utter public humiliation.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago (4 children)

why would they divorce? do you think this is the first time trump cheated? do you think she'd give up on the money and status for that?

[–] Delphia 20 points 3 months ago (4 children)

How much money and status is realistically left?

An old man and convicted felon who is in obvious mental decline with an unstable empire who cheats on you publicly... she could probably do better financially off a book deal and interview tour.

[–] Maalus 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Old man with obvious mental decline means the old man will be gone soon and most of the cash will go to the family.

[–] Crashumbc 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not only that, being his second? Third? Wife, she absolutely had to sign a very good prenup.

She went into this with eyes wide open, as a top level gold digger. If she was worried about her image, she never would have married him to begin with.

She's just counting the days till he croaks and gets most of whatever he has left. Then she can get the book deal and speaking tour if he was still relevant when he died.

that's not the way maga thinks about him, they think he's a god or something idk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That's a gold digger's bread and butter.

[–] rsuri 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah if she stays married to Trump until he dies she gets a sweet $20k/year presidential spouse pension for the rest of her life. That and I bet she's subject to an draconian prenup.

Anyone got a bingo board for this?

[–] RestrictedAccount 4 points 3 months ago

I wouldn’t feel comfortable carrying that around. It’s gonna have some awful things written on it.

[–] someguy3 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe that's why he doesn't want another debate. He can't contain himself. I was listening, not watching, but the parts I did watch he wouldn't even look at her. He hates her so much.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

He's a sad, old man...

[–] psycho_driver 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Lady of any order is a stretch. How about Goto Gold Digger?

[–] Anticorp 5 points 3 months ago

Uh, she's the one who keeps mentioning curry. Self-sustaining lie?

[–] mashbooq 3 points 3 months ago

Jamelle Bouie recently said that he's certain Trump is going to drop a hard R before the election
