I was completely unaware that I was in trouble in any way. Very well. I'll bugger off. Sorry for whatever I did. Bullgrit

So long as the continuing discussion is full of facts and insight, it's ok to wander to and fro a bit :-) Bullgrit

Why not both? :-) Joker has always been, (that I know of), an attention whore -- I mean, look at his make up and attire, and all his schemes. Re: High Plains Drifter Coincidentally, I just caught the last few minutes of this movie a few days ago. As he's riding away from the ruined town...

I am getting annoyed, now. By you trying to make this about me. I remember now why I stopped posting here. Bullgrit

So discrimination is the very bad thing. Racism is just a minor thing? We can laugh at a racist comment, now? Bullgrit

It's not an issue of anyone being annoyed. It's an issue of watering down the meaning of something. If simply acknowledging a person's race is racism, if using an out-of-date neutral term is racism, if wearing a garment from outside your own culture is racism, then what is actually...

I remember a Sanford and Son episode where . . . goes to YouTube, and SCORE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEDzNA39Vvc "Were they colored?" "Yeah, white." Oh man, I loved that show. Used to watch it with my dad. Bullgrit

It's turtles all the way down. Bullgrit

She probably thought she did know the meaning of the word because she had heard it used in a context that suggested to her, "a cacophony of varied overwhelming sounds." I mean, look at her hand gestures and how she was saying that Lady Gaga's voice is usually drowned out by her usual...

On accidental racism: Isn't racism the belief/stance that one race (usually one's own) is superior, or that another race is inferior? So I don't see how a person can accidentally believe something. I've heard people point out accidental racism, and it always struck me as so very odd. On...

As the title says: Is the term "racism" being stretched too far, being applied to too many things, nowadays? Is wearing a cultural costume for a photo, racism? Can an African man wear lederhosen while holding a stein of beer for a photo without being racist? Can a Swedish woman wear a kimono...

I've known The Joker was an evil man. But seeing that last scene in the trailer when he says, "Oh, I'm not gonna kill ya. I'm just gonna hurtcha really, really bad" . . . makes me respect The Punisher much more than I do Batman. Bullgrit

The Terminator Genisys thread prompted this thought. What movies had (or seemed to have) important or shocking items spoiled by their trailer? Was your viewing of the movie affected in any way by knowing the spoiler? How do you think you would have reacted differently if the moment hadn't been...

So my saying "house" or "home" 7 times wasn't clear enough? OK, for a eighth time: I'm talking about house/home indoors. Bullgrit

This whole question and discussion assumes that your shoes aren't particularly dirty/muddy/whatever. Of course you don't trudge mud through the house. When I was a kid, I don't remember having to take my shoes off to come inside the house. I remember keeping my shoes in my room where I put them...

I have a question, (point?), that I'd like to ask, but I'm trying to step *very* lightly, here. Do not modern descendants of displaced Native Americans and the descendants of enslaved Africans also benefit from the same institutions? Bullgrit

I read somewhere, (many years ago), that actually (at the time of the article/study, somewhere in the late 80s, early 90s), the North and Mid-West and West (especially the west, like California) were more generally racist (white/black) than the South (of the time). The reason was that there...

When I was a teenager, (circa 1985), I visited some "sort-of" family up in Maryland. My cousin (a boy about my age), showed me a cap his father had bought him during some trip through the South. It was a black ball cap with a Confederate flag on the front. He asked me to confirm that it was a...
