| Topic | The foundation of Donald Trumps presidency is the negation of Barack Obamas |
| A Novel Idea 09/07/17 6:06:20 PM #47 | Zeeak4444 posted... A Novel Idea posted...So many typically-white conservatives and liberals are anti-"identity politics" and Coates just rakes them over the coals here. It's great. "Typically white?" Did you read that part? I'm talking about the tendency of (typically-white) intellectuals from both camps, including folks like Bernie Sanders and Mark Lilla (both of whom get dragged sufficiently), to use the bludgeon of "identity politics" to shut down any mention of race in these discussions, particularly how white people--themselves included--tend to benefit disproportionately from policy and public sentiment. The discussion about the opiod epidemic in the essay is a great example of that. |

| A Novel Idea 09/07/17 5:54:52 PM #35 | BootyGif posted... The Admiral posted...Let's be clear: Trump didn't win or "get away" with that stuff because he's white. He won because Hillary was absolutely shit and the Democrats had their heads too far up their ass to realize this. Against even a mediocre candidate, Trump would have gotten crushed. Go ahead, read the article. Coates has an exhaustive list of what abhorrent things you cosigned because you found Clinton unpalatable. With the added bonus of, because you're white and male, a lot of the abhorrent things probably didn't matter to you because you were more likely more concerned with lower capital gains tax and a weird affection for this mythical, exemplary "white working class" when you went to the ballot box than anything based in reality or uplifting people outside of your tribe. I didn't like and voted for neither candidate in a blue state. |

| Topic | I was thinking about whether 2d Sonic platformers are better than 2d Mario platf |
| A Novel Idea 08/21/17 8:17:56 PM #6 | Mario stages are largely interchangeable and gimmicky. Besides a few stages from the original Super Mario Bros. none are memorable. Meanwhile every single Sonic stage from the main 2D series has a particular character to it that's easily evoked |

| A Novel Idea 07/08/17 11:20:13 PM #2 | it was amazing when it first came out for me, but then I rewatched it with a friend a couple of months ago and was cringing at how cheesy and corny it is. the seasons get worse as it goes on too |

Blm won't make you drink from a different fountain Yep lol. This is a meeting concerning black ppl and the black community and they've decided to limit it to the ppl concerned. This isn't something institutional like, again, separate drinking fountains Like someone else said ITT, the ppl caterwauling about it would not attend these in the first place. So why complain? I'm just smh at the typical suspects (aka white nerds) coming out the woodworks to say "this is segregation" "Martin Luther king would be disappointed." |

| A Novel Idea 04/04/17 10:29:53 AM #46 | white people speaking for king and malcolm x. Give me a break lmao. Even King was more radical than the kumbahyah shit they teach you in school. blm bringing back segregation?? Segregation was imposed On communities by different levels of government. Blm won't make you drink from a different fountain Anti blm folks make me lol. They would've called King an agitator for his sit ins and marches in the 60s. And yes, these tended to prevent ppl from getting food and held up traffic |
