Good news, racism isn't a problem any more!!

Post by Gendo »

Did you know that the a whole 87% of people in America now think that black people should be allowed to marry white people?? And here I thought that racism was a problem! Whew!

Also, out of a bunch of studies on race that were done, there were some inconstant results. If racism were a problem, then 100% of studies on race would confirm the exact same results! As long as there's a single study with inconsistent data, we have absolute proof that racism doesn't exist!



Yes, this is literally (I'm not exaggerating!) what someone is saying on Facebook right now. Pope knows.

Let me guess, the person posting this is white?

Thank God a member of the historically most racially oppressive group can inform everyone else that racism is over.

I think it's sort of horrifying that a full 13% of people would fully admit to a pollster that they don't think interracial marriages should be allowed.

I also think it's horrifying that a full 9% of people, IIRC, would fully admit that they would never vote for a woman for President.

Yeah that was my thought too. I had previously thought that it would now be down closer to 5% or so. And a friend of mine was just telling me that it's far worse in the south; in Mississippi it's around 42% opposition; in Alabama over 50% opposition.

People in Mississippi and Alabama being opposed to interracial marriage is completely understandable. Siblings are usually the same race.

Is this based on the dude I started trolling on Facebook after you argued with him?

On Jude's wall. Jude, by the way, has really become way more liberal lately; and has been fighting against the racist elements of conservatism.

I like Jude but I can't read his threads because 99% of people he knows are straight up shitting insane. Apart from Juan, who is insane in a fun way.

I remember when I thought people were being ironic when they ranted about boycotting Star Trek because of Spock and Uhura's interracial/interspecies relationship.

I miss the innocence of those days.

That dude is also an anti-vaxxer, so to see him lecture on what is good vs bad science was pretty funny.

I hadn't seen any of that from him, but I'm not surprised. Interestingly enough, Dukeman, who is only slightly less terrible than Chapman on all things conservative; is a vocal vaccine supporter.
