Comedy Central's focus on race is getting tiring

To be fair "We good, they bad. Go us!" Is pretty much the only thing you find on these forums now adays. You can look at Page 1 to see the circle jerking that epitomizes this mentality.

I'm probably as guilty as anyone.

There's nothing wrong with showing black pride, as it has not been responsible for oppression the way white pride has

I think all the slaves that where sold to white slavers by their fellow black skinned countrymen, and all the victims of the numerous african civil wars (wich some still rage on to this very day) might disagree on that.

This whole "white is the root of all evil" spiel is complete and utter horseshite from a historical standpoint.

Humans have killed and/or enslaved other humans for various petty reasons throughout history and skin color had little to do with it.

It was white people who ended the practice of slavery in the US, not black people. It wasnt because africans suddenly stopped selling their fellow countrymen to white people all of a sudden that the slave trade stopped. It took the british and a US civil war to stop slave trading into america.

If it was for the africans at the time, slave trading would have continued just as usual.

Humans are assholes, and im afraid skin color doesnt make you any better or worse. The only reason that white people are the ones blamed for everything is because white people are good at recording their own history.

We know alot about the Romans.. but what do we know about south africa during that time? Nothing. Who knows what atrocities where commited by black people to black people.

And honestly? Even today there are a ton of black skinned warlords down in africa.. so dont give me that crap about "black pride not been responsible for opression but white pride has been"

Theres no fucking difference between the two.

Bullshit PC talk thats all...

Comedy Central has been Liberal Central for awhile now. There were points where The Daily Show seemed more like a political rally at the student union than a comedy show.

Awww, one of the many hundred channels you have access too now brings up a prevailant problem within your current society a couple of times a day while the rest are happy to ignore it; excuse me whilst I organise a rag-tag band of Italian violinists to serenade your endless oppressive torment. (Now that's sarcasm, for any interested parties).

Oh, they're brought up in our society. It's just that black people are doing it, so we're not being reassured that it's not really a problem.

You very much make a point i never thought of before, thanks! This is being feasted upon thought.

Edit: Apologies if i double quoted you, hopefully it adds to the popularity!

Oh and satire is a thing. As time goes on, what's left becomes precious so you mash hobbies together. Comedy is a coping sauce for many a great world problem. To mix it with news is just another way of enjoying life a bit less abrasively.

Some people are so myopic that you can't hope to reason with them. People who hunt and pick for things like Trevor Noah or Larry Wilmore to hurt their fee fee's, are those people.

Reward pathways are not so easily realigned for the not-so-introspective. It is a tricky subject.

In 3 months that kind of person won't even remember why they were unhappy.

The topic creator is lot more reasonable and calm about all this then you guys are projecting. Go read it again. Pretty benign. Do you think there is no hope of reasoning with them? Are they really "that kind of person"? You got a lot of anger in you.

Now that's fascinating. You find it easier to accept that two different people are equally confused about a very simple post, in the exact same way. You find it easier to accept that you're "The only one who is sane."

Talk about huge flashing warning signs.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that I am insane or on some continuum toward insanity. You might seriously be on to something there. What advice do you offer the clinically insane when you encounter them online?

No, that wasn't what I said at all. I give up.

If you actually are going nowhere with this, I would advise that you do.
