Running racism in America thread

Jig... Jigaboo...

Some of the slurs derived from dances they did.

Boogaloo goes back farther than this movie. I remember hearing it in the 70s.

 

Question, if you love your guns so much and are such a tough guy, why aren’t you in uniform serving our great country?

Oh because the pay sucks? Because the transition to society sucks? Because we cut your VA benefits?

So just pretend to be a soldier and chant MAGA while you buy all this Chinese made goods and clothes while chanting “Kung Flu”? Yeah you’re not a hypocrite.

 

Probably from this song. Legend claims it was about McCartney, but ringo said it was a word he heard Marc Bolin use often.

 

Single peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard charts in 1972.

Geez, people must’ve been really horny for ex-Beatles crap in the post-breakup years, because that song is crap.

 

Can I just say I'm very glad I stayed off this Racism thread tonight (until now), putting all such issues and thoughts aside to watch the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular instead?

Was happy to get goosebumps and be mesmerized by the incredibly spectacular beauty of the fireworks raining down on the Statue of Liberty and the lit-up Empire State Building. Even sans any panning of a crowd -- I guess because, for the first time ever, there wasn't one, due to COVID-19 -- I couldn't help but be impressed, and moved. It felt good for the soul.

 

Stand your ground and the 2nd Amendment works both ways hmmmm.......

 

1 of 2 protesters hit by car on closed Seattle highway dies

 

There's a Tik Tok on Twitter of the car ramming both women. It's not a sound you want to hear.

 

I don't understand humanity.
