zoogs Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Cultural critic e working for esteemed serving-the-underserved anti-Trump kindly conservatives publication National Review. Hosts a movies podcast with Russ Douthat, one of many esteemed conservative voices at the paper of record. Theater critic for the stately, intellectual conservative journal New Criterion. Which by the way: Spoiler All of this is to say: there are endless ways smart people find to express a deep and fundamental racism in more agreeable terms. It is the task of the discerning observer to see it for what it is, and not to spend their own energies thinking up ways to tell themselves "actually, I just don't happen to like this particular [black/woman/etc/etc/etc] thing, and that's OK" over and over without seeing the pattern. 1 Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) I read through this entire thread, and just... I mean I always knew it was out there, but the insidiousness of white racism , and how at times it can be so subtle while and incredibly brazen--is just mind-numbing.

Making Chimichangas Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 @Whistlebritches, ya I can't even imagine that happening to anyone who is white. I mean I can see the person behind the counter telling someone to order something, but to call the police, and have them arrested? Just...no words. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The messed up part (well, one of many) is that they asked to the use the bathroom but were told it was for customers only... they hadn't bought anything because they were waiting for their friend. A witness said a woman had asked to used the bathroom before they arrived without buying anything and was allowed to. Another woman had been there for hours and wasn't asked to leave like these men were. Video here of them being arrested and completely keeping their cool. Other people were appalled. 1 Link to comment
