Boom point...

Look issues is representation

Who do black kids have to look up to other than athletes? Rappers who talk about selling drugs and gangsters

Same with Hispanics dude I’m fucking from Colombia. You don’t think we have the same thing. Soccer players or drug dealers

That is your parents responsibility to make sure you don’t become a drug dealer. Taking the easy way out regardless of color is stupid

It’s just frustrating that the media makes it seem like only brown people are homeless, sell drugs, do crime or other fkd up shit. It’s everyone

Maybe Batman(technically is if you watch it in Spanish his name is Bruno Diaz :) ) and Spider-Man are not Hispanic or black. My dad , grand father , brother, cousin should be a good role model
Meh is the issue really representation? When all stats and studies show that what matters much more than your skin colour or intellect is your environnement.
Simple as that.

Tell me 10 Hispanic males you have seen on tv or In a movie that was not flamboyantly gay, a criminal or a janitor. Or hell 10 in total. Probably don’t notice it or think about it but you would if you were in that group. I mean black women right now are having godlike marketing with all the hot actress’s popping up. Before that they just showed you ones that looked like linebackers who were transitioning into men.

Black representation is usually worse but at the same time when they make their movies and make their characters anti heroes.... which are 70% bad but don’t do bad shit to children so are sort of ok.

Media represents the group in a certain way that leads to fear

Or the funniest one that all hispanic and Asian men are kind of ugly but all our women are hot. Or we are all short. Everyone in my family is over 5’10 including the women. On my dads side of the the family. You can’t make hot women with hideous men.

Why do you have to look up to someone that has a similar skin tone?

Why can you not look up to both Larry Bird and Magic Johnson?
To both Michael Jackson versions? :pat:

You can look up to those people of course, but there is something about your skin colour that ties into appearance and perception. I think we can generally agree that in most places being black, or being white for that matter, comes with a public perception and based on that it may be easier or harder to get through life. You meet more or less prejudice, or I should say helpful or hindering prejudice.

Now, you can look up to Larry Bird as a black kid for being a great baller. You can look up to Michael Jordan for making it despite the same odds that you are facing. The latter, Larry Bird can't provide for you. In a world where we might not face the same odds based on our appearance, there is an opportunity to sympathise with certain people instead of others and that can be quite powerful.

The way you look up to people is different in each instance.

Edit: actually don't want to get political since, from what I can tell, my views would probably not be met kindly in this thread. So you can just ignore this post I guess.

Kids in general look up to people in entertainment because they eat up most of the media attention. Plenty of white or hispanic kids that look up to Messi or Ronaldo.

I don't think that is going to change anytime soon.

Biden is beating himself. Always got the sense that it was a Harris administration but she seemed to stumble on issues of taxation and environment which are pillars of their campaign.

Got no skin in US politics so I don't care either way, but it's quite easy to question Biden's agency.

Harris/Biden in my opinion is the Democratic version of Cheney/Bus.

No one knows what a nazi is anymore. More specifically, in a nazi led state, you wouldnt be able to trash the president on prime time TV for 4 years, have social media platforms to say whatever you want, have a protests/revolution supported by McDonalds and Nike who have exploited race and labour far worse than any other major company in the US. Maybe my tinfoil hat is on, but this has felt like a coup to blame conservatives for everything that happened between the end of the last ice age to today.

Alot of this feels like an ideological shift towards postmodern subjective objectivism that we saw in the May 68 revolution in france, where a bunch of people studied things that had no real world application, so they accused the real world of being oppressive and restrictive.

Haha

Objectivity in the sense that it's true only if you agree with it and it came from a community or person that would he considered a minority. Basically, objective truth cannot exist because it came from European enlightenment, scientific revolution. (White supremacy)

Theres a book called Cynical Theories that explains it much better. A great read for anyone wondering where this bullshit woke movement came from and where its going.

I worship Titania McGrath and its/theirs/her widsom. I cannot tolerate intolerant people who want to convert people into some sort of truth.

You deserve flogging till you get woke enough.

If this was the 2016 Trump he would have attacked Beau, who is more emblematic establishment guy (even a bigger transgression against mainstresm since he's dead), rather than Hunter. Dumb move by Giuliani. Nobody gives a shit about corruption at this point imo

So I'm doing this Work From Home stuff for the first time in my new company, starting this current week.

First day, wasn't properly set up.
Second day, internet provider crashed for 3 hours.
Fourth day, electricity provider crashed for an hour and still going.

I'm using my phone to hotspot the work laptop, I am using a power bank to keep the phone alive and the laptop's battery is going to run, according to its own estimation, 5 minute after I clock out.

Wonderful.

I don't think WFH stuff is for me.

I've always thought you were an elderly living on your saved money after working for 65 years.
