That is just how people in fact use it

2018-10-26 18:47:09 UTC  

It may have started metaphorically (i.e. "That is _like_ blackface") but has slowly shifted to just being the term for it

2018-10-26 18:47:33 UTC  

apart from troll blogs and some more out-of-touch social justice ppl, i've only ever seen it used for the caricature

2018-10-26 18:48:06 UTC  

would be interesting to see a study among different crowds as to what they understand under the term

2018-10-26 18:48:16 UTC  

Fair enough

2018-10-26 18:48:31 UTC  

It's honestly a bit of an esoteric term, so most people probably don't know what it is

2018-10-26 18:48:41 UTC  

But the usage has been consistent in the media

2018-10-26 18:49:14 UTC  

valid
probably a good sign if most people don't know about it

2018-10-26 20:27:01 UTC  

So if blackface is the darkening of the skin, is tanning blackface?

2018-10-26 20:29:35 UTC  

Actully yes. There have been articles written about how much tan can you have before it's considered appropriation.

2018-10-26 21:12:04 UTC  

No way is this a real thing

2018-10-26 22:13:46 UTC  

NBC wanted Megan Kelly out because her ratings dropped this was just an excuse to look better and get rid of her

2018-10-26 23:15:42 UTC  

I really don't like it. I have been Megan Kelly'd before.

2018-10-26 23:16:35 UTC  

The regressive left saves their worst ire to those of their protected classes that speak contrary to groupthink

2018-10-26 23:32:57 UTC  

It's pretty much the only time I see people sincerely using racial slurs

2018-10-27 00:13:07 UTC  

Did you know that 74% of terrorist attacks in the state come from right wing motivations?

2018-10-27 00:14:50 UTC  

Did you know that 130% of all random statistics are either made up or twisted? Islam is a "Right Wing" authoritarian philosophy, so you could easily count that as right wing. Citation please.

2018-10-27 00:51:54 UTC  

Politifact lul

2018-10-27 00:53:05 UTC  

Go through his videos and you will understand the reason behind the statement. There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

2018-10-27 00:53:25 UTC  

You didn’t even read it

2018-10-27 00:53:44 UTC  

It cites the sources. It’s not just statistics but full studies

2018-10-27 00:54:01 UTC  

No seriously you didn't click my link either

2018-10-27 00:54:01 UTC  

And my studies trump your Youtube video. Sorry

2018-10-27 00:54:37 UTC  

He specialies in going in fact check after fact check to show you how fact checkers misinterpret the truth.

2018-10-27 00:55:02 UTC  

Again, you can read the actual studies listed

2018-10-27 00:55:15 UTC  

But I know you guys hate reading so...

2018-10-27 00:55:26 UTC  

Oh good job insult me

2018-10-27 00:55:34 UTC  

👍

2018-10-27 00:55:38 UTC  

Reading is so boring. Complaining is more stimulating to my impulses

2018-10-27 00:55:59 UTC  

It’s not an insult, it’s a fact

2018-10-27 00:56:06 UTC  

Really insulting someones intelligence is a great job of winning an argument

2018-10-27 00:56:18 UTC  

Anything that takes over 10 minutes to read you will reject

2018-10-27 00:56:33 UTC  

My studies have established the facts

2018-10-27 00:56:57 UTC  

Mind if we do a voice convo?

2018-10-27 01:03:16 UTC  

Why?

2018-10-27 01:03:39 UTC  

I don't mind discussing actual opinions. But you dropping a link and saying that I am stupid for not reading it. Is like an sjw refusing to read a link to a fox news article.

2018-10-27 01:04:42 UTC  

I'll bring the popcorn

2018-10-27 01:06:36 UTC  

All I will say is that the second biggest terrorist attack on US soil after 9/11 was a Christian Identity Warrior, Timothy McVeigh. Beyond that, I'm not really familiar with the statistics. I will say the big events of late were not derived from the American polar political ideologies. Orlando, Las Vegas, all the school shootings...none of it was left/right stuff.
