You also posted it in the GDF and I chose to address both posts here. I just find it weird that you consider the name outright racist as opposed to just a poor decision in name-choosing. 'Racist' implies racism on the part of the people who started it, even though the whole point of the program is to address the topic of reverse racism, not spread it.
Yes I posted a link to the story as an example and literally said nothing else about the specific story, but okay.
I find the name racist, it's fine if you find it weird I do. I find it weird you call me hypocritical when we both know if this was a "Stop Black People" program you wouldn't be here defending it like you are and that to me is hypocritical as well.
Also dude no: reverse racism isn't a thing and it's an issue people can't grasp that either. It's just plain ol' racism. Doesn't matter if you're black or white. Oh and on that note merely recognizing something is racist doesn't mean you're personally offended. Calling a white guy a cracker is technically racist, but I personally wouldn't have any hurt feelings over it..even though I can acknowledge it is racist.
Originally posted by SlayIt was entertaining at the time but it hardly stands up in retrospect, it's the last act of it that really brings it down. Glad to hear Eastern Promises is better, I'm edging on having nearly watched all of Cronenberg's main films. He has so ****ing many though. I still need to see Crash, Spider, Cosmopolis, A Dangerous Method, and then those other ones like the rally driver one and M. Butterfly.
Eastern Promises is way better. You also said you liked A History of Violence. Or were you just being contrarian?

Originally posted by SurturI'm not defending anything, I'm just taking personal shots at the way that your mind works. Just because I find the way someone interprets something as stupid and hypocritical, doesn't mean I agree or disagree with the thing. I literally said it was a stupid name, but it's not outright racist.

But you seem to find it hard to grasp any concept that isn't based around binaries, so I don't know why I bother most of the time. Part of me just wants to see if you really do find it impossible to agree with anyone else's opinion but your own.

Lol just wow. The sheer smugness of this is astounding. You really do sound pleased with yourself. Once again with the "oh woe is me why do I bother" thing which you always do.
The ending was a nice touch though because if I don't agree with you then I have just proven you correct, right?

Seriously though, Scribs, stop being such a smug, fedora-wearing SJW and Surtur, stop being such a folksy, alt-right macho man.
