Casual racism y'all.
Think you're reaching here. He offers Adrian Lester as an alternative and David Oyelowo is doing his audiobook.
He's guilty of being a snobby elitist, not racist. He believes Bond to be of a certain social class. One of those Eton/Harrow jackasses like Benedict Cumberbatch or Eddie Redmayne.
By db Go To PostDaniel Craig is more street than Idris, I don't see that descriptor being used for him.
He doesn't like Craig either.
By db Go To PostSo? Did he use "street" to qualify that dislike?
Awfully Americentric to ascribe American subtext to a British writer giving a British tabloid an opinion with regards to another Brit.
Fact of the matter is, plenty of his ilk hate Craig precisely because of how "uncouth" he is.
By db Go To PostOh here we go with european exceptionalism when it comes to dog whistling.
Am I wrong or are you not aware of the distinctly classist dichotomy between Posh and Street in England?
By his metric, Jason Statham wouldn't be a good Bond either for the exact same reasons. Chiwetel Ejiofor would.
By J-Twelve Go To PostTalking about Street Fighter, I just came across this sick ass Ibuki cosplay.

Look at how flawless her hair is. She's done an awesome Juri as well, and a bunch of other characters.
They're too busy playing video games on that hikkomori life to properly appreciate this young lass.

Is this the same Benghazi that is Obama's fault?

Characters change. Bond is a sexist pig, he might slowly evolve into being less of a sexist pig as time goes on.
By Bruh Go To PostBritain doesn't have racism because they just use different words for their racism, yo
Kindly point out to me where I suggested there's no racism in Britain. Please, I'll wait.
By Gabyskra Go To PostCharacters change. Bond is a sexist pig, he might slowly evolve into being less of a sexist pig as time goes on.
Let's hope. Again, these are arbitrary traits that Horowitz placed on Bond as he saw fit, and they are dumb. I don't understand how people see me pointing out that this comment came from classist place instead of a racist place as some form of endorsement. News flash, it's not. This dude is wack. The end.
As if believing the poor to be unfit to portray a character on film is any less awful than believing a black man unfit to portray said character. Stop and think for a goddamn minute.
Because classism has a long intertwined history with racism. And the group of people that classism affects negatively the most has been minorities. You can't separate the two, not even in England.

By BHZ Mayor Go To PostLook at this shit.Suck my motherfucking dick.
Uh no you call them "officer" or "officer _____." Sir or ma'am is what they're supposed to be calling YOU.
Also what the fuck at paying for their food? Dudes out here get paid way more than I do, benefits and huge ass fucking pensions. How about they pay for my stuff huh.

I don't think this thread is "post a racist thing I found on the Internet".
People come here to chill and shoot the shit. Just leave it be.
By jWILL253 Go To PostIf you don't get the fuck outta here...I mean, I would be feeling some type of way about this IF the last bit of activity in the thread wasn't 'dont be a kak' 'dat ass' and a zero to 100 on the Bond thing
By db Go To PostDy, did the car thing fall through, I didn't see your update.Yeah, but its all good. I'll just get something else.
So i am gonna have a lot of time at the crib due to being ill. So gimme some music ideas family. been wanting to get into some smooth listening. kinda like some of that 80's stuff.
So... I just found out that screen was from an educational game called "Slave Trade".
Educational game.
*sigh* Sorry, Gab.

I read the OP. It's open mic regarding culture, right? Sometimes the thread has been about the police, about what latino identity is, about how Serena Williams is portrayed in the media, etc. I think it's relevant just as much and certainly not less than corset discussions. If you want to keep it lighthearted and exclusive to some, then tbh, i'll be out indeed because i really don't mind if the conversation can't happen here, it's all good, to each their own. Very sorry if it felt like i was condoning the game, to me that was self-explanatory. Should have added a link or two.
maybe this thread isn't such a failure after all
By King Riovane Go To PostSo i am gonna have a lot of time at the crib due to being ill.

Seems pretty earnest in its intent to teach children
Slave Tetris is definitely a pretty tone deaf way to gamify that aspect of it though lol

Yeah the first link sounded a lot like "hey you guys, hey you guys. guess what I found," which i know is not your intention, but it can come across that way. Plus the embedded image in the middle of my screen is 100% revolting regardless of context.
I don't participate in this thread often, but I really enjoy the conversation here and find people's perspectives fascinating. unfortunately, something as heavy and heinous as what you linked earlier doesn't elicit anything other than, "man, that's mess up."
Just offering my opinion. This isn't my thread, it's everybody's.

Problem with your post is that it's pretty clear that it wasn't meant to start a conversation. Just another "look at this novel thing guys" followed by the kinds of responses you expected to get when you posted.
Like that's what this thread has been the past few pages. People just posting images expecting the rest of the thread to either get angry or get boners, and respond to let everyone know about it.
By jWILL253 Go To PostI need a pretentious Polygon review before I co-sign.
I definitely would not cosign, even without Slave Tetris. I think games are good at exposing you to material and inspiring players to do their own research, but I don't really think they're effective tools for actually teaching people anything with the depth that they require or deserve.
Gaby does bring up a good point though. If it's not an open mic discussion, then what is it? I'd also love for DY to chime in and provide instead of throwing :scust: emojis left and right. I'm also a firm believer that the community creates its own voice, too.

this community, as it is right now, only survives on drama and fukkery. everyone's just pretending otherwise lol
By DY_nasty Go To Postthis community, as it is right now, only survives on drama and fukkery. everyone's just pretending otherwise lol
I feel in general, as soon at is thought to be a "community", internet gossip about participants is more popular than actual discussion... People are more interested in saying this guy or that guy they know fucked up than discussing social issues... And i mean, guilty as charged, I liked spending time on IRC to bitch about stuff...
it's time I take over this community. under my rule, hot men and/or women for every one, a bootleg CD/DVD guy at every barber chair, and ESPN on every TV.
I'll take it from here, Dy.

How to Fix Pickup Basketball
any one here ball often? the article makes intuitive sense. Beyond long range shots being worth twice as much as a close range shot, it's better to shoot because the post game in a pick up game is pure fuckery on every court in America.
The hood will never change to 2s and 3s though, even if it makes more sense in the name of beautiful basketball (tm).

Was sharing this with couple of friends on Twitter whom I used to play rec league and pick up ball with, and it makes absolute sense. It feels like the correct thing to do but just like streetballers think leather basketballs such and composites are great (because NBA players hate playing with real leather basketballs), I doubt it'll change.
