It's pretty fucked up how automatic racial jokes are when a black person's face is in a picture.

I would say "maybe it's just me..." or something to make the post more diplomatic, but it's not just me, and the automatic thinking that shit is OK is is not just anybody. It's the fucked up landscape.

It's not OK.

Fuck the impulse that prevents people from questioning automatically whether it's OK.

Forseeing the automatic response to a criticism like the one I'm making: people who complain about "reverse racism" or "PC-police" etc. are pretty much never heard objecting to "non-reverse racism," unless it's some retard-handy form like a cross burning or a lynching -- it's just that they don't notice this about themselves.

I post this in part because, specific to MMA-related social life (IRL), I've been quiet too often at gatherings of otherwise pleasant people who engage in both subtle and obvious forms of conventional, stupid, unquestioned, to them pleasurable racist idiocy.

It's everybody's obligation to resist it, every time. Sometimes you just live with not bothering, because if you bothered every time you'd never stop battling it. It is all-pervasive. It doesn't make it OK that it's normal. That's the fucked up thing that is the war.

Why would you use a hurtful word like retard when discussing something you view negatively? You must have a problem with all disabled children to blurt out some hatred filled diatribe equating racists to kids born with a disadvantage through no fault of their own.

I cry sometimes too, my man. Look outside and think "Wow, all that automatic response, when will it end." Just....I don't know. I don't know...
