Let public schools, colleges, and media pump people full of ********, and they'll believe anything.

I bet Millennials only consider blacks and Hispanics as minority.

 

[BrntOrngStmpeDe]

Mixed race, gay, trans freaks, you name it. Every minority is now heavily over represented.

I've got a theory on this. I think they've focused so heavily on ads/commercials because viewers can't do much about it. They get their message out over and over and as viewers we don't have much recourse. If it were a TV show, we would just not watch that show. If it were a movie, we would just not pay for that movie. but since it is a 60-90 second ad, we tolerate it even when it is presented during an otherwise conservative channel or show. Advertising is all about presenting a message so often and repeatedly that the message in that advertising becomes accepted as truth/normal. Commercials are an initial/incremental step. Liberals are masterful at using media to boil the frog slowly.

True, but at least I can record and FF through all the woke crap. I do this for almost anything I watch now except Longhorn FB and other significant Longhorn games. I. E. I watched the softball live yesterday because it was such a big game, but even then I change the channel during breaks. I can't even stand the "I've got the best job a college student could ever have" guy.

Interesting take. Maybe traditional people need to organize boycotts more often.

Why would you want a murderer out of jail??

His real crime was that he was successful, not that he murdered people.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Just democrats doing what democrats do.

Probably taking money from them.

That is exactly what is happening. No honor among thieves.

 

[Mr. Deez]

This might be the only time I side somewhat with BLM. The Tides Foundation is evil beyond measure. All it does is raise money for terrible causes. BLM is one of those, but they're small potatoes by comparison.

Just when I start to doubt Abbott he comes through with something like this.

Always interesting that people getting arrested need to be 'safe,' but officers doing the arresting don't deserve to be respected.

Waiting for her to ask for reparations for his drug dealers and the economic impact they suffered.
