Oh god and they find out it was a new couch and JD has a thing for underage settees
Even better it was the bastion of objective Journalism the Associated Press (AP). They took it down because they can't prove he didn't fuck a couch.
Edit - I love this because it's the same as the old "Did Glenn Beck rape and murder a girl in 1990?". He's never come out to say he didn't.
Takes one apartheid asshole to recognize another eh? Lol
Canada is a mosaic. America is a meting pot.
Read John Rolston-Saul. He's been very thorough explaining this. He puts a lot of it on the history of our country. Unlike America, Canada is a network of lakes and rivers. You can't just ride a horse from A to B you will need to Portage. This meant the early settlers had no choice but to work with the indigenous peoples on the land as it was so foreign to the lands in Europe or America.
I think this is a uniquely American experience tbh. In Canada people have no problem being asked their background and I'm sure the same could be said in other countries.
To your point, race in America has been intentionally weaponized.
Ok as a non-racist white dude but I grew up in a small town and will admit to ignorance. I don't get the problem here.
I don't care where you're from I will ask your background it's more how you ask. I work with lots of people all over the world and I love learning about new cultures. If you're black maybe you're Nigerian or Kenyan. I don't fucking know the difference I just hear a weird accent so I get curious.
Now the rub to me is how you ask and are you being sincere. Let's stop demonizing people for innocently asking "so where are you from?"
For context I live in Toronto so very, very multicultural. I have friends from every background, but why hide wanting to expand your knowledge?
I wonder if part of the American problem is the fact that they continue to not come to terms with the fact that they're racist AF?
I'm genuinely curious.
Lovecraft country was so good. Shame about majors.
I will argue though what I love about Lovecraft country is probably not what most people did.
There's quite a few less obvious examples in how he explains black people like animals. He also does the same with Asians. Dude was a man of the times lol
I know lovecraft was racist in his personal writings, but I can't recall any specific exams of it inside his fiction.
The glaring example."The Rats in The Walls" had a cat called "removed Man".
And of course admins censor the N word. Jesus Christ this world we live in is fucking scuffed.
Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, in first interview, says he berated her for being queer as a child
Man as someone who loves him way back when as a guest on TVO's Agenda with Steve Paikin... JP really went off the rails hard. It's insane that simple gender politics are what drove him batshit crazy. He dug in so hard on being against calling someone "They/Them".
Jesus Christ he's insane.
Omg when he was introduced to America my fist thought was "is this dude wearing makeup?".
