It's been one day... there's nothing for y'all to even get on about yet.
I'm not talking about policy stuff. I'm simply talking about how people, in particular relatives of mine that wanna talk about the struggles of black people yet sit here and champion a woman whose entire life's work is putting black people (and others) back in prison and being the attack dog for the government. Because woman and black.xandorxerxes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 4:02 pm It's been one day... there's nothing for y'all to even get on about yet.
First - I was totally wrong. Biden did a bunch of policy shit I just didn't pay attention to at the time. My bad.Digital Masta wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:36 pm I'm not talking about policy stuff.

To play devil's advocate for your family - sometimes it's more about breaking into something than who does the breaking. If Kamala is a terrible awful no good very bad person but an OK VP and makes it easier or normalizes it for a better woman/black/indian person to get a leadership role later or is aspirational to a good person later, that might be seen as a win. I question all of the feel good stories talking to kids about her, but I've always had someone who looks like me in political power so I can't relate. Also I'm a joyless husk, but you all knew that. They may see it as "black this/that" because they're black, whereas an Indian family might see it as "Indian this/that."
That's just me throwing shit at the wall to see what might stick though.
There's a divide in the black community about Obama and Harris. There is a movement about ADOS (American decendants of slavery) vs black looking people. People like Harris and Obama... Though they may look it, they do not have the same history as a black person who grew up in the states (they have ELITE histories) . When you look at the two classes statistically, there is a HUGE divide in outcomes. Now I acknowledge it, I just don't believe in playing the perpetual victim card. It's a HUGE issue that I wouldn't get into here... But again, some people don't even dig into it that deep (which was DMs point)xandorxerxes wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 8:09 pm First - I was totally wrong.

LMFAO yup you definitely have a Black family similar to mine.Digital Masta wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 7:36 pmI'm not talking about policy stuff.

In particular, my cousin who is all about the black struggle went to THE HBC of HBCs (Howard University where Harris also went) yet is completely cool with Kamala Harris. Guess all that black struggle shit was just bullshit, eh?
Then of course there is the whole "Black woman! Black woman!" thing...because fuck Indian people, right?
Like I said before at least Obama went full into the whole embracing being black thing.
I gotta tell ya, it's kinda frustrating when you come to the realization that your relatives are political simpletons and you sound like the crazy person when you go, "Yeah, but how about this..."
ugh...I mean, we have one of the worst vaccine rollouts in the country, but don't worry...daddy and daddy have a special holiday.Digital Masta wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 3:30 am So...killa whats going on in NC?

I know this makes me a bigot but I am pretty sure mothers day and fathers day covers all parents. Even if you are a guardian. You are effectively one or the other.
Yes, I am saying there are only two genders.
Usually at work when I find out, I start 6am. On the road at 4am-5am sometimes lol.killacross wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 2:26 pm How do you always find out so fast?
Also.. If James Brown had a messy death... Wait. For a guy who has some money and was married about 15x
Bruh it’s females and shopping. How are you still surprised hahakillacross wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:56 pm About to do some upgrades in the kitchen again...
I hate shopping/designing shit with my wife
She refuses to make a decision... But would complain about it for the next 10 years
The company came out to do some pre inspection stuff and take measurements. She asked what I wanted. I told her a copy/paste of our existing shit
.. We get the estimate.. And it's not a copy/paste.... . At all
We go to the store to finalize some things...she's like.. Whoopsie
The pure dumb shit makes my fucking blood boil
I dicked around a little bit and made some money, but I'll preach index/value all day long. At some point the /WSB guys pushing this are gonna decide to nope out and leave all of the other scramblers to try to sell their shit before it bottoms out. If I had known Gamestop was $3 at some point though I might have bought in thinking it would go up to $5 when they tried to turn it around before it failed, this is just lunacy.
