Still on that same old thread...

[conuly]

And I've got a question before going into the important stuff. Why do people assume that if you're an anti-Semite, you must also be a Nazi? Can't black people hate Jews? Or Asian people? It's racism, that's what it is! Assuming that only white folks can hate. *gigglesnorts*

Seriously, though. A tangent arose in my mind when it came to the news. See, I had tired of arguing reasonably with the troll silly young man, and decided just to bash him with links. Some of them were just "the first ones on google for a particular search" and others were ones I'd seen before. And while explaining the benefits of using many different news sources, I wondered... where do my friends get their news from?

Besides, I love polls. That's the benefit of having a paid account. So... [Poll #268680]

And finally (not part of the poll proper):

What is/are your favorite source(s) of news? Example: The Onion, the NY Times, Fox News *screams*.

Tell me about it. My old school had a huge problem with 'reverse-racism' Believe me, it's very, very real. And very, very overlooked.

I guess it's just 'cos we have the history of being the ones to act like that.

Well, some other girl (who's otherwise intelligent) is at this very second rallying to explain why blacks can't be racist. It absolutely boggles me.

It's just overlooked because they're allowed to hate whites. Because I'm SO fucking oppressive to them! Like, oh no! "Don't let her be your friend! SHE'S GONNA OPPRESS YOU!"

Not to talk a lot about Ethan (but this was quite funny) is when people tell him to "represent"... because he doesn't hang out with the black group at school. He blinks and says "My ancestors were selling your ancestors to the Europeans." It's really the funniest thing I've ever witnessed.
