  1. This fake racism bait just downplays real racism that still exists. Take a lot of Nordic countries that are fetishized in America for their social programs. These places are great for white people but ask people of other races their experience in these countries like Denmark and Sweden and they'll have a different opinion.

  2. Leatherface doing a Faceoff on a black dude is litterly blackface. But yes I agree with you rich. The act of degrading your victim is not ethnic exxlusive per se not a "blackface", but still a blackface though.

  3. Im so tired of people on the left seeing *ism everywhere. But there are still very clear and obvious cases of it happening.

    See Mary Znidarsic-Nicosia. See the famous tweet from Dean Browning. And of course Rachel Dozeall.

    You aren't wrong, Richard, that idiots victimize themselves from everything possible. But actual instances need to be called out and denounced everywhere they pop up.

  4. I'm with you in terms of the kid having done nothing wrong and the journalists being malicious actors.

    Though I do think it's kind of a problem that so many US sports franchises have caricatures of a conquered but still living people as mascots as for sports franchises. Like imagine if the US had a sports team themed for WW2 era Japanese soldiers or the Red Army.

    The journalists were maliciously omitting information, however I bet a ton of well meaning people signal boosted those pictures for being offensive since they DO look bad from that angle. And I think it's a problem sports mascots quite literally look like racial caricatures from the side like that.

  5. Completely agree, US liberals are fucking weak sauce. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, we're also too deep in doublespeak to realize liberals aren't actually leftists so we might not ever have any actually progressive political movement.

    Edit: Came back to say I left with seven minutes left after you wouldn't stop with the same, tired diatribe about how silly the libs are. Right after you read how people were using the black faces in the cannibal DLC to target other players and harras them. Kind of like, maybe there's more than one way to see what blackface is? Like how, technically, wearing a black face as a mask isn't blackface, but how it would make sense that people who are racist, and play that game would use those black faces to do racist things? It's almost the easiest thing to imagine.

  6. Nothing like making a twenty minute video to say "Deadspin made a stupid fuckin tweet" I'm sure this can only entail the end of civilization and masculinity now or whatever…

  7. Wow. Your first instinct was that the child is wearing full blackface,( or known as face paint to a normal human, ya know since he's at a football game) the child or the child's parents are doing a no-no taboo naughty offensive thing?
    Imagine before the game the child's parents had only purchased him one color of face paint BLACK. Get him Richard he's evil, you perfectly inferred his intentions.

  8. Damn these community notes are pretty good. Imagine seeing that article with these notes
    Face Paint : total lie, its black and red . Team colors.
    Headdress : ridiculous of course, but if you must know, his grandad is a native american.

    The press is insane. It almost seems that… there are so few actually racist people, that they have to invent them , even going for literal kids. Pathetic.

  10. The team colors are not even black? Aren't the chiefs colors white and red and yellow? How can they ruin his life? Just tell the kid and his parents don't use the coal black paint on his face and move on or is every thing ok, yeah the Chinese sun symbol or whatever it is is not ok either. I think its offensive idk

  11. Also reminds me that an episode from Community about D&D got completly removed from the streaming services because a character dressed up as a darkelf. Idiots thought it was blackface, even though it was addressed in the show itself.
    The last five years have been ruining my favourite hobby more and more, from Wizards of the coast removing things from their books and changing rules to be "less offensive" because of irl politics… all for Hasbro to fire alot of employees at the dnd (and MtG) Teams shortly before christmas.
    Im too fat to dress up as an dark elf wizard anyways, but let me put on my fake ears and abit of makeup damnit!

  12. i get it, if you wear a dress/hair/face paint to mock someone with a racists intent it's obviously bad. bad that cultural appropriation bullcrap where a "white person" can't wear a yukata/kimono sombrero or a native American headdress is something being stupid.
    and funny enough with all this outrage about teams being named after natives and renaming them is just helping erase them from history.

  13. Did Rich just get WHO flagged for pretending to be another person for 2 seconds as an example and saying "maybe that covid vaccine is a bit dodgy" before moving on? 7:07
    Oh my god they are strict, can we please stop with this now youtube?
