They know what they're doing. It's all a play to keep the power indefinitely. Once they realized the world wasn't a place you could just blatantly oppress people anymore, they jumped into these victim roles immediately.

Sometimes I wonder how far in life I could make it if I threw away my pride and self respect. But then I realize laziness has nothing to do with those and Id still be right here, just yelling at the news instead of video games.

There's a video I can't link here called "can't take back no hurt" making the rounds on instagram and reddit. It's from 1976 and it shows 10-15 year old white kids calling 8-13 year old black kids the n-word and throwing rocks at them. It's really heartbreaking, but those kids would be in their 50s now. People act like racism is over, but it wasn't too long ago that racism was the default. Those people are now in charge of our politics and businesses and have children and grandchildren. They are teaching their children racism and passing it down.

Welcome to the modern Republican party. If the other guy is in power, they're bitching about him; if their own guy is in power, they're bitching about how the other half isn't falling in line. All hate and anger, all the time. It's what happens when you cling to a rigid and outmoded way of life that's invariably fading away, and build up a false sense of constantly being persecuted instead of allowing your worldviews to evolve.

It should also be noted that the Trump Admin cut funding to PBS putting Sesame Street in jeopardy. HBO bought Sesame Workshop and funded the show, making a deal with Public Broadcasting so Sesame Street can still be shown to all kids for free. Their goal is to keep the country stupid and guys like Tucker are here to feed into that propaganda. HBO fucked up their plan the first time, so lets just convince our low IQ base that Sesame Street is bad liberal propaganda. They're spineless pieces of shit.

He's not "attacking Elmo,"

He's calling out the creators of the show for injecting political opinions into it.

what "opinion"? the entire point of that segment (which aired on CNN, btw. they didn't "inject politics" into the show) was to tactfully explain to children what the protests were about. Tucker's take away was "if THEY are bad to you you can't complain"...we all know who he thinks "THEY" are, and that's not even what that clip was saying. The full segment is extremely well done and a good explanation for Children who might be scared.

Sesame Street: Racism is bad. Some kids experience racism.
Fox: Sesame Street is injecting POLITICS into a kids show.

This is far from the first time Sesame Street has addressed a political issue that shouldn't be political.

I feel I have to ask this: you do know that Elmo's not real, correct? I'm concerned that you believe Elmo is a real flesh-and-blood sentient critter, and that someone was implying that Tucker Carlson was physically accosting him.

The alternative explanation is that your post is the pettiest of semantics, so I feel I'm giving you the extreme benefit of the doubt here.

False.

The problem arises in how one defines "being a good person," because certain groups tend to define "being a good person" as "having the same opinion as we do."

No, in this case they're merely saying "Be a good person". You still haven't answered what opinion is being "injected" here. that minorities are treated poorly in many places? that's an "opinion" now? you would think "everyone should be treated fairly" would be a universal thing, but you've somehow managed to make it political so you can disagree with that sentiment. really weird hill to die on.
