    Anytime I hear someone say, “The Blacks” I know they’re about to say the most racists thing I’ve ever heard. I’m not sure how the next person is gonna top this one this one though.

      Remarkable people, the Blacks. Musical, athletic. Not very good swimmers.

      Tap for spoiler

      This is a 30 Rock reference, for the uninitiated.

      I always recognized that it sounded off but I didn’t realize why until recently. It’s because it’s dehumanizing. “The blacks/the gays/the Jews” vs “black people/gay people/Jewish people” carries a sense of otherness, or less than. It’s amazing how such a small differnce in verbiage can change the whole tone of a sentence.

        I used to have a white rat named Whitey, and white people used to have the weirdest reactions to her name, even though I’m also white.

      It’s interesting… It’s the same people who will pretend they’re not racist by saying “African American” when a black person is actually present, as if they need to walk on eggshells. Like dude, you can say “black,” just try doing it without all the fucking contempt.

      But apparently they can’t, and it always comes out in the way you’re referring to.

        I’ve legitimately considered cancelling my HBO Max subscription because it tries to auto play Maher’s show after Last Week Tonight, and I’ve found no way to mark the show as something I never want on my TV.

        It’s triggering every time.

          It’s such a dumb recommendation. “I see you watched an unabashedly progressive video essay show, would you like some center-right trash? They’ve both been tagged as ‘politics’ and ‘talk show’, they’re practically the same thing!”

          All of the Last Week Tonight episodes run on YouTube, so if that’s your primary use of HBO/Max/Whatever, it’s an easy cancel.

    Yes. Please adopt that and say this incessantly in front of people. Make sure to say it loud and proud. This will work out just like you imagined it in your head.

      And the rest of the people in the room, in front of and behind the camera, don’t immediately shut him down, cut to commercial, and then return with an apology for having platformed a fucking Nazi.

      You know what they say about a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him…

        Some nazi, attempting humor, on Fox.

        Nothing more there to ‘get’. It is just as stupid and awful as it initially appears.

          On national fucking television.

          W… wow. It’s just… gotten so, so blatant. And spitefully, gleefully cruel. Casually discriminatory. It stopped being funny so, so long ago. If it ever was.

        They are nazis. Unironically nazis. Trading humanity away for membership is what they seem to be going for daily.

        They are no longer humans with souls. Just pieces of shit trash monsters looking to make a buck and destroy lives.

          It’s pretty clueless to compare the insulting name for someone who happens to be born with a particular skin color to mame chosen by some subhuman asshat who chooses to hate everyone who looks different.

      Y’all are so dishonest saying they always lie. Sometimes they can be even shittier by telling the truth.

      Just not about the kid fucking stories.
