Guess what's racist/white supremacy now

[WLJ]

I didn't know that either, and I'm sure I've used the phrase before just goofing around with friends, just figuring it was like any of his other "izzle" nonsense words.

RACIST!

[Hawkmoon]

I didn't know that and I would bet good money neither did she.

But it's okay when Snoop Dogg says it.

Black people give themselves a pass on the exclusive right to use the 'N' word.

More than 20 years ago, when the guy who now owns the range where I shoot still had a  small gun shop in the city, he told the story of a particular handgun. As he related it:

One day a young gentleman of color came into the store wanting to buy a box of 9mm ammunition. My guy sold him a box of 9mm ammunition, and the young man left. Later in the day the young man came back, and said that my friend had sold him the wrong ammo. Owner asked what kind of gun. The kid said it was a Beretta, and he pulled a Beretta out of his belt.

Shop owner popped the magazine and tried to load the magazine, but the ammo wouldn't go in. Owner picked up the gun, and on the side he saw "8mm" -- from which he was able to figure out that this young gentlemen of color had bought an Italian blank-firing replica of a Beretta, thinking that he was getting the real thing. The kid left the store. [But that's not the end.]

Several days later two young gentleman of color came into the store and one of them asked for a box of 9mm ammunition. My guy sold him a box of 9mm ammunition, and the young men left. Later in the day the young men came back, and the buyer said that my friend had sold him the wrong ammo. Owner asked what kind of gun. The kid said it was a Beretta, and he pulled a Beretta out of his belt.

Owner said, "We've done this before," and proceeded to show the yoot that the rollmark on the side of the gun said "8mm," not "9mm."  The second young gentleman [of color] started razzing the now not-so-proud owner of the "Beretta," calling him "You dumb [N-word]. You paid good money for a toy gun."

Owner says, "Hey, cut that out, You can't call him that!"

The second yoot responded, "Sure I can. YOU can't call him a dumb [N-word], but I can."

“Nizzle” is slang for the N-word. Bassett, who is white, also tweeted the phrase in 2011

Ummm . . . if we're going there, isn't "Black" also slang for the N-word?

Isn't "N-word" now slang for the "N-word?"

[BobR]

I didn't know that and I would bet good money neither did she.

Urban dictionary:

"fo shizzle ma nizzle" is a bastardization of "fo' sheezy mah neezy" which is a bastardization of "for sure mah nigga" which is a bastdardization of "I concur with you whole heartedly my African american brother"

Dictionary.com

WHAT DOES FO SHIZZLE MY NIZZLE MEAN?
Fo shizzle my nizzle is a slang way to say “for sure, my friend.” It was popularized as a catchphrase of the rapper Snoop Dogg and is meant as a playful way to express affirmation

I think this station was trying to figure out a way to get rid of an aging, older, less attractive on air personality and she handed it to them on a silver platter.

*Anything* said by a white person means "*let's not go there*" if someone wants that so they can be offended to further their agenda.  You should know that by now.

*Anything* said by a white person means "*let's not go there*" if someone wants that so they can be offended to further their agenda.  You should know that by now.

And if the white person doesn't say anything, he's being uncooperative and is therefore racist and aggressive. (Remember the signs rioters were carrying in 2020 that said "Silence is Violence?")

[WLJ]

Sorry, being obese is not healthy nor attractive. Race has nothing to do with it.

    The heightened concern about black women's weight reflects the racist stigmatization of their bodies. It also ignores how interrelated social factors impact black women’s health. https://t.co/sqVv8wpHyJ

There must be some white supremacy in there somewhere causing the excess food appropriation.

Racism pays especially when you're faking data

A criminology professor at Florida State University suddenly left his $190,000-a-year position after being accused of fudging data to make racism seem more common.

Eric Stewart has had six of his studies - one of which dates as far back as 2006 - retracted amid allegations that he fabricated data by altering sample sizes.

Stewart has denied such criticisms but after the sixth incident in 2020 an FSU committee reconvened to address his record and findings. 

Since last month, the professor has been absent, perhaps marking the end of his 16-year career at the school and a years-long investigation into his academic malpractice, the Florida Standard reported.

If you don't like body odor or bad smells in general.

Bizarre new research claims that people with a sensitive nose for disgusting smells are more likely to be xenophobic.

In a study across nine countries, scientists have linked a repulsion to sweat, bad breath and smelly feet with heightened disliking for refugees.

Steering clear of stenches is a natural mechanism that helps us avoid illnesses, experts at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm explain.

But when working into overdrive, this may trigger hostility towards refugees who are perceived to have 'dissimilar' hygiene and food habits.

'Individuals more easily disgusted by body odours are also more prone to having negative attitudes towards refugees,' the scientists wrote.

[HankB]

. . . Hate the smell of BO? You might be xenophobic . . .

Hmmm.

After working in the yard all day and staying sweaty, I don't think I smell very good. There have been times I left my stinky clothes in the garage while I made a beeline for the shower. So I guess I hate myself and should send myself back to the country I came from?

Uh, wait a minute . . . I'm from here!

No, like they said, a bizarre "study." Just another way to pave the way to say that refusing to embrace stinky foreigners with poor hygiene is - drum roll please - RACIST. (Of course.)

Car accidents amoung black people have soared (mostly among those driving with no liscense).

Probable cause?  Police no longer wanting to pull over black people violating traffic laws. 

The graph is a little old.

[zahc]

He's right that the true driver of our road death problem is road design, as well as federal efficiency standards. I still don't get why either one disproportionately impacts POC. It's just the standard "meteor to destroy Earth tomorrow; women and minorities most impacted" routine as far as I can tell.

[RoadKingLarry]

It is my opinion that the #1 cause of road deaths is the number of people that in no particular order A; don't really know how to drive but think they are F1 level drivers B; drive under the influence and/or distracted, i.e., cellphones.

[cordex]

He's right that the true driver of our road death problem is road design, as well as federal efficiency standards. I still don't get why either one disproportionately impacts POC.

Are our roads particularly unsafe?  Seems that when I have traveled internationally I saw a lot of what I took to be much more dangerous roads in countries with much lower deaths per population or deaths per vehicle.

What should be changed about our roads to improve safety?  Obviously reducing speed would increase survivability, but given the size of our nation and the fact that we like to spread out, I don’t think people would like to double their commutes and travel time.

To steel man the opposition, it would be easy to believe that older and less well developed infrastructure is more common in poor areas. Since (some) minorities are heavily represented in poor areas, if it is true that older and less safe road design is the cause of increased fatalities, perhaps that is the connection they are trying to make.

Mercator projection maps

While they don't mention race in the article when they say "wealthy" you know what they usually mean.

It gives the right shapes of land masses, but at the cost of distorting their sizes in favour of the wealthy lands to the north.

So I guess Greenland is a "wealthy" land.
