And see, this is part of my point and view points like YOURS are ones I'm willing to engage because as you said IT IS hard to discern sometimes. But for those of us who have been subjected to it frequently and consistently its not something that we can afford to dismiss out of hand.

America has a history of racial discrimination when it comes to housing and mortgages and business loans. A LONG history of it. For some of you its easy enough to say well Sam was at fault. There have been tests done by civil rights orgs who have sent a black couple in to apply for a loan /...

There are plenty of racist sports and movie fans who like specific black athletes and actors/performers but who hands down DON'T like black people. I've experienced this repeatedly in my almost 50 years on this planet. Your statement is just wrong. Flat out WRONG.

I thought the racism shown in Lovecraft Country was pretty accurate maybe even not quite as bad as it actually was. It was the early 1950's after all. And the racism to be shown in TFATWS can afford to be subtle because it's more in line with the times. I want to really enjoy this show and I...

Liked the first episode ALOT. This looks like it's going to be a lot of character building interspersed with feature film quality action. I love the civilian lives of Sam and Bucky and how Bucky is DEFINITELY still haunted by the things he's done as The Winter Soldier. It's going to be slow...

Yup during Matt Fraction's IRON MAN run one of the subplots IIRC was Stark attempting to develop a renewable energy source that could be mass produced. I think to an extent that Idea made it over to the very beginning of the 1st Avengers movie, as far as creating a renewable energy source. When...

During Jonathan Hickman's epic Fantastic Four run that DID become a major focus for Reed. Unfortunately he got side tracked because the Council of Reed's (a bunch of Reed Richards from alternate timelines) showed why one man (or in this case men) trying to solve all the world's problems...

You're right. I think I stopped listening early I guess during the first campaign. Right around the 80's. This was a few years ago so I might be misremembering but they seemed more focus on keeping the characters in play. I think Scanlon died in one of the last ones that i listened to but was...

Yeah I'm not a fan of that. It's one of the reasons I stopped listening to Critical Role. I know everyone prioritizes the narrative part of the game but for some of us it's also A GAME. It's not a novel or movie and in my preferred style of play? No one has plot armor. I do ALOT to put...

I LOVE Amsterdam. I've been there twice relatively recently. Once in 2018 and then again in 2019. It's a beautiful city and great for just walking. On my second trip I ventured out to Haarlem and Utrecht by train (loved both trips).

Yup THE RAWHIDE KID for Marvel's MAX line in 2000(?)

I grew up in NYC. I've been here all my life. This page is from THE PULSE #3 by Bendis and Bagley The setup is a reporter is going to meet one of her contacts who works in the city morgue. She knows where he's going to be because she knows where he takes his breaks, in a alley behind the...

BECMI: This was my first exposure to D&D. With B2 I absolutely was hooked. 1E: A step up and most of my early D&D was with 1E. D1-3, G1-3, Q1, S1, T1, Temple of Elemental Evil. I loved the adventures! 2E: Played this for a while in a few friends homebrews. Hated the Skills and Powers Splat...

You are wasting your time Sacrosanct. They have no interest in reading the research or arguing in any type of good faith. These are people who do not acknowledge that racism is a problem unless it affects them. Then "Other people" are the real racists. So yeah man thank you for fighting the...

NO. Boot him. I dont understand the problem here. His actions are kind of disrespectful and they know it. This is not the action of a "friend".

Show them the door. Why? Points 1, 3 are problematic but 4 and 5 are big issues and trying to resolve those are going to be a waste of time. If those two points aren't something that this person automatically takes into consideration from the jump? They don't need to be there.

He's controversial and problematic because he's a black person that other right leaning white people can point to and say "Hey look this black guy with a Phd agrees with us so we MUST be right about the state of race in america. and all of these other black people who are on the other side are...

Wait...that wasnt common knowledge? UH OH. Also? I deleted HIT DOG WILL HOLLER thing because its a colloquialism I didn't think people would get it..
