that double standard kills me
when it's on youtube, it's evil and profiteering off of tragedy
but when it's on some lamestream media hackjob site, it's just part of the bidness
Good stuff.
Vice said not to make This Is America memes.
Here’s some templates. Don’t make any memes please.
the only meaning i can see: inner cities are shit places to live, and that seems to be where a lot of black people are. and some of their problems may be self inflicted.
supposedly: we care for guns more than people's lives, as Americans we try to draw attention to the positives of our culture while completely ignoring the fact that the negatives are extremely present, the video is filled with black people and police cause they're caught up in all of this shit in various ways, Gambino (can I just call him Donald Glover, I don't know "Gambino") dances and makes exaggerated facial expressions as a sort of reference to when there were blackface actors but that dancing can also be taken to mean that... I don't want to go to 2000 characters (and I had no idea how much I'd typed) hold on
that dancing can also be taken to mean many other things, ex. he fires the pistol in such a silly pose, indicating that he's used the gun so much he's not even focused on proper handling of it, he's trying to show how cool he looks firing it
"Americans we try to draw attention to the positives of our culture while completely ignoring the fact that the negatives are extremely present"
what America is this? because in the one i live in, they ignore the positives, focus on the negatives, and then make those negatives 1000 times worse than reality.
just one of the things I heard but I assume it's that shit like "MURCA IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!!!" but we still have school shootings or whatever cause we just won't go ahead and do gun control
that kinda point I disagree with, but I think that's the mindset of it
name a single person who thinks America is perfect.
just because they may think its the greatest doesn't mean they think its perfect, or can't be imporved
although if you look at everything, makes you wonder how shitty the world is for that fact to be true
to be the greatest for e xample doesn't mean perfect, I meant they're saying "greatest? you consider it great when we've still got problems A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, etc. yet we have all the power in the world to do something about it?"
pretty bleak world view
do we all the power to do something about it?
🤷
i think that question is part of the debate
different problems got different shit to it
ex. they say black on black crime kills the most black people, I don't think that's just Tyrone and Dr. Dre beefing
I think it's dudes trying to make money selling drugs
take the gun debate: people say take away all the guns is the answer, yet can't prove it will work. people say give more guns, but can't prove it will work. If we have no proof that either side will work, then how can we know we have the power to stop it?
in order to even fix that we'd have to be willing and able to divert resources to that
then there is the problem of are you actually even looking at the problem, yet alone solving it.
