    So slavery is okay only as long as the slaves are forced to 'build stuff'. :roflol:

    Velma, based on I guess episode 8 seems to indicate the writers are completely clueless and empty headed when it comes to men. They dressed Velma up as a short man and pretended those kind of guys are carried around and listened to.

    That show was clueless. I honestly feel sorry for the writers being that they aren't even aware of reality.

    Ghost busters was basically saying women aren't funny. They have to make a guy so dumb that he has to cover his eyes because something is too loud so that he doesn't upstage the women and he still did.

    When you have to run around and handicap everything else to promote the humor of the main characters it's because your main characters aren't funny.

    It's for She-Hulk I didn't watch it I've seen enough superhero crap for the rest of my life.

    I forgot step 10. Go on a Twitter tirade when the company you helped to run into the ground fires you when it's under more sensible management.

    We saw what happened to Twitter it's upstream from Hollywood so it's coming.

    I never said that, but it seems to be tolerated by libs when it currently happens in China, Africa, Asia, Mexico and central and South America.

    Isn't it amazing how concerned they seem to be with the sins of the historical slavery in our nation when there is currently slavery still happening around the world but they don't seem terribly concerned about it.

    'Tolerated' by libs? Exactly what is any 'lib' or other American supposed to do about how other countries conduct their affairs? They care about what happens HERE.

    You would think that the way things are today, libs would boycott or never use anything created, thought of, designed, marketed, distributed, sold if not outright cancelled if white people had a hand it it. But their Chinese made iPhones…..

    Slavery doesn’t happen here. As for the countries that still engage in it, then woke libs who want to cancel anything unwoke should cancel those countries. Or is it different when they do it, like cultural norms or something like that? As per Biden, if you call slavery a cultural norm then its permissible.

    That's a twisted assessment of the cartoon.

    The context appears to be an artistic presentation presented to a judgement panel for a rating. It's a contest, it appears. A rap styled statement, which, by it's nature, will be provocative (to be authentic).

    Clearly, you are not familiar with the cartoon and you've failed to present it in context.

    Does, does the presenter, the FICTIONAL presenter in the CARTOON have an agenda?

    Sure, but it's fiction.

    Besides, what was untruthful about it? The beauty of the cartoon was that the presenters won the hearts of a white panel of judges

    This shows a coming to together, and understanding, a meeting of minds between two races that have been at odds with each other for centuries.

    How you can try and present that one scene out of context proves it is YOU, not the cartoon's creators, that have a one sided agenda.

    But, what could I expect from someone who posts a factoid about Fascism, and then puts it side by side with a joke by Obama about Biden, as if it, too, is a factoid.

    I don't know what 'woke' means and I don't use that label. And I don't know anyone on the Left who condones slavery of any kind, anywhere. If anyone would condone slavery, it would be the Right since they're the champions of mega-corporations & the wealthy who benefit greatly from foreign slave/cheap labor.

    Obviously I was laughing at a straw man, not creating one.

    Slaves still make America function. Ask any divorced, disenfranchised dad paying child support and alimony for the privilege of seeing his children once in awhile.

    I would argue that if people think slaves built this country the necessarily think that freed black people didn't.

    It kind of becomes like CRT ironically self refuting. So essentially all black people over there existence to slaves and that was the last time they were productive.

    Seems like something that one of those pointy-hooded fellows would say

    If anyone ignores modern day slavery then they condone it. Like i said, slavery currently exists in Africa, Asia, Mexico and every country below that shithole. Biden condones Chinas slavery by calling it a cultural norm. I’m assuming you condemn those countries, Biden and Nike.

    the left’s double standards and ability to look the other way when their side currently does something wrong only to moan, bitch and whine about the same issues that ended over a hundred years ago because they were done by white people is all I need to know that brainwashing for votes is a thing.

    That isn't the story line.

    The story line is, or it appears as that of some black artists wrote a piece of performance art, about slavery and Juneteenth, and attempted to win a context.

    THe story line is that a panel of three white guys (I don't know if there were any more in the panel, I couldn't tell) theirs and the audiences hearts were won over

    That's a story of whites and blacks coming together, and whites understanding what Juneteenth is all about.

    That is the precise OPPOSITE of 'bigotry'.

    This is about the claim that it was the slaves who built America and not free people primarily white Europeans. That this 10%-20% built the country and the other 80% had no contribution not just intellectually but manually, the marginal labor.

    And again it begs the question that were it true then why nothing even vaguely similar to the United States and all our infrastructure and economics and education and medicine and on and on every built in Africa by black Africans?

    The video is asking for backpay.

    Trade unions also built America.

    America was built before trade unions took any significant hold and it was Americans one and all who built America not anyone one group but the vast majority being white Europeans especially the intellectual side.

    They were paid though, and were able to build generational wealth to be squandered so that their great great great grand children can pretend they arnt privlaged because their grandparents were irresponsible.

    I've wondered that too. Given that they are supposedly the oldest group, that they had a continent with vast natural resources and black supremacy and the labor resource of their own black slave system one would think there would have been some advancement.
