I mean

Racism defines America.

Saw somebody (white) say “we should wait awhile before making assumptions about why he stepped down” since hes going to Dateline and lol. Okay. Sure, Jan. Enjoy your thrown bones.

“Its not compliance if we will allow ourself (1) harmless colored person on staff! As a treat! Im sure fearless leader will give us that much!”

Ah, that return to the 80s version of 'inclusion' where there's one person who isn't white and male and they think they're doing something good with that...

Sure has our land use—since the beginning—and as a result our school districts and respective household worth and so much more.

when Last Week Tonight did a piece on environmental racism in America, John Oliver said that “racism is one of the few things in this country more powerful than money”

idk if he came up with that line himself, or if one of his writers did, but it’s been rattling around my brain ever since

Since 1776.

Oh, who am I kidding?

Since 1619.

Oh, who are we kidding?

Since 1492.

Racism is as American as Apple Pie

nemalki.bsky.social•3 days ago

But... but apple pie is delicious, and racism leaves a rancid taste in my mouth. And my soul.

jongraywb.bsky.social•3 days ago

The sweet taste masks the bitter taste of everything else

storyteller222.bsky.social•3 days ago

Regrettably yeah.

I wish it wasn't.

But the past twenty years of modern history have shown that.

Cruelty and spite all because some people are so insecure and small.

nateming.bsky.social•3 days ago

what are y'all talking about, there's one(ish) of each minority on TV if I flip through enough channels

certainly that's enough, racism is solved 🫠

We only need (1) to fill our seen quote. Maybe (2)

We can stop being the collateral damage of their inability to work with EACH OTHER. They are battling the SAME mess that BROUGHT THEM to America in 1619–Protestant vs Catholic; King vs Equal; men ruling women. When they fear fighting each other THEN they look at us to blame. Nope. Not havin’ it.

And don't forget sexism, Zionism and atheism.

Basically America in the 1800s or the 50s.

harrimanfox.bsky.social•3 days ago

welcome to the worst developed nation in the world that tried to convince itself that it's the best.

jethanded-wyvern.bsky.social•3 days ago

Jeeesus, that's just

haha

what a co-inky-dink.

Christ the Buddha.

savean.bzky.team•3 days ago

Seems pretty clear.

leaferi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Think it very, very likely intentional. Have you seen Trump’s regime? White as snow geese—plus Kash Patel.

liliana.transsexual.gay•3 days ago

Definitely not

shengokai.bsky.social•3 days ago

Man, I remember when Lester Holt moved from WBBM to NBC. The man is a goddamned journalism icon and has reported through some shit, so when HE says this is a bridge too far, we are so cooked.

jongraywb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup. Him leaving is all I need to see to know that a thing is very much the thing I think it is.

pastapete.bsky.social•3 days ago

Shameful behaviour setting America back decades!

jamessteel2008.bsky.social•3 days ago

To be replaced by an old white guy?

miasma667.bsky.social•3 days ago

many of them were openly of Israel and specifically Zionism, which is a white supremacist colonial project. it’s not a coincidence these people would find that project doesn’t pass their smell test

miasma667.bsky.social•3 days ago

oppressive white supremacist powers don’t like when truth is spoken to them so they remove the minorities & oppressed groups who don’t play along

littlemac1183.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m surprised he just doesn’t recite he’s been at it along time . He’s a big time conservative supposedly so I’m surprised if he got pushed out but times aren’t great looks bad . I mean msnbc is a mess and looks like nbc peacock is too now

jongraywb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ive heard that rumor about him but honestly never looked into it.

littlemac1183.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think he keeps that stuff separate from the job because he’s a professional I’ve always had respect for the guy

mercurycdx.bsky.social•3 days ago

My brain immediately went into that old MadTV parody of Chris Rock's "No Sex in the Champagne Room" where NBC stood for "Nothing But Caucasians" and I don't know if this references dates me horribly or not.
