Say if I told you a 92 year old Hispanic man was attacked and told to go back home. And you turned around and said fucking white people would you consider that racist?

Depends on who you talk to, I suppose. But that has nothing to do with what actually happened, so it sounds to me like you're just trying to stir shit up.

She said "Go back to your country". So no, it's perfectly reasonable and not at all racist to assume she was white. Because people who think they have exclusive racial ownership of america are almost always white.

Well I mentioned to this liberal woman I know didn't bring up the person race. After I told her about the story that's where "fucking white people" came from. That's when I told her the attacker was black and she didn't think it was racist to assume it was a white person. And since this place is liberal leaning thought I bring and see you guys think.

Is it's racist in you're eyes if you assume it was a Muslim after a terrorist attack?

Well, depends on the type of attack. Bombs or vans driven into people? I assume ISIS, yes, because they’re the usual suspects for this kind of attack. Mass shooting? Either an angry white guy or a muslim terrorist attack, veering towards white guy.
But that’s besides the point, because shouting “Go back to your country” is the equivalent of “Allahu Ackbar”. Anyone who shouts allah ackbar while or after committing a terrorist attack is 99% a muslim terrorist lol
So the woman was black, not white? That’s surprising, I guess racist black american nationalists exist too… despite being a small tiny minority.

Depends on what you did and whether you have the majority behind you at the expense of the minority.
wrecking Donald Trump's star is the main even of the week so far.
A series of flyers claiming to be from the KKK sparked outrage enough that two of the people who got one started a substantially larger anti-hate movement in response.
Oh, Never read the comments section. Got it.

could eventually start the mess.
you know populist governments failing terribly are always fun to watch.
especially when their promises are total opposite with the reality they brought so now everyone acts apologist and looks someone else to blame, the empire, the jews, whatever.
is really impressive how they all go thru the same phases all of the time.
one thing I been noticing is that while AMLO is 5 months away from taking charge, a good chunk of his supporters are already being apologists.
coming out with stuff like; okaay, look AMLO's promises maaaay not just be as possible as they did in campaign, or heyy, gas prises maaaaay not lower any bit of his presidency, or hey you know, remeber that one time AMLO said he would fight corruption, ooh uupss, here have a bunch of corrupted politicians on his main team, oooh heey whaat?? every party has corrupted politicians so is fine!.
and I'm just here like, -_- ooh man, we're doomed.
It stops being funny when malaria comes back.
Holy shit, someone actually stole the Swedish crown jewels:

Not that Sweden's royalty means much right now, but I'm still boggled that A. Someone would, and B. They pulled it off.
We had crown jewels? Imagine that.
LOL. Every royalty has crown jewels. Some are just bigger/cooler/fancier than others.
I like how Japan, rather than just a bunch of crowns or scepters, has the three holy objects (sword, jewel, mirror) that supposedly come from the gods. Although anybody who watches anime knows that those are just fakes, the real ones are lost for ages.
I guess it's because i as a Swede have a hard time imagining our king with any sort of royal regalia or stylings. He's more like a casual goofy uncle who mangles idioms and just dicks around, he's like George Bush without the presidential power
I don't think anybody thinks much of the Swedish king.

We truly are the definition of the word lagom.
All the remaining monarchies in Europe (except the Pope) are jealous of Elizabeth II and her ability to make her subjects actually like her.
You don't see the English crown jewels getting stolen by random hoodlums and then probably sold to finance a bitcoin mining operation.

Any Irish-American can tell you that whites can be just as prejudice against other whites.

I know. Just look at the way we treat Hispanics and Arabs.
The only thing I think about the Swedes is that they embed microships in their hands and their arms to replace ID cards

wtf, stop this Sweden !
Sweden's greatest cultural export is country music that 1:1 emulates late 50s honky tonk music.
Oh yeah, Nilich is weirdly anti trans-humanism.
Well, I can accept the tags, If I were in control of the data that it's on them, and I don't have to change the hardware EVER, but the other one in that article?
Oh yeah, Nilitch is weirdly anti trans-humanism.
It's more like this thing is irrelevant and it's too soon to embed stuff under one's skin. These people are acting like we were in 2245 and papers and pencils didn't exist anymore– stuff like that. I mean, the world isn't as much connected as these people seem to believe.
And even then, there would still be no difference between carrying this little microship in your pocket than embedding it in your arm... What the difference with this and my bank card ?
Also, obviously it's funny until someone rips off your arm instead of your wallet... But it's so easy to "hack" that ripping off someone's arm sounds ridiculous, and it's even more ridiculous to call this "hacking" because your just have to put your phone next to someone's hand to instantly "hack" the micro-ship...
Dunno about chips in the hand or whatever that company is pitching but i do know that hardly anyone in Sweden outside of tourists and senior citizens use paper money anymore. Same with government forms, applications or any other sendable documentation. I found it a slight bit nostalgic to walk around with euro bills and coins, cause i can't remember when i last handled any meaningful amount of physical money
oh yeah, it's true that the Swedes do that. But there is still no difference with this and carrying a card of some sort in your pocket. Except that you can lose the card and that it's "open-minded" to do trans-humanist stuff
I mean, it kinds of needs another authentication, if I remember my cyber security classes, witch I don't, propper security needs like 2 of 3 things, having something, being something and knowing something, specially something like this that you could activate it accidentally.
Stealing a hand is not as easy as just holding a copier over the chip, or just wiping it if you only want chaos. Hell, even just stabbing and finding the thing is way easier than trying to cut bone.

I'll have you know that cosplaying old timey America is a long and consistent part of Swedish culture. Visit the north of Sweden and get your fill of old dudes cruising around in rockabilly gear and driving ridiculously polished chevys and cadillacs. I mean it seems weird when you stop and think about it, but i've been around it all my life so to me it's just normal for a 55 year old man to dress up like James Dean and spend all his time grooming his chevy bel air for the upcoming cruising.
Modeling yourself after James Dean is kind of awesome. Helluva actor, that one.
Is that love of '50s Americana tied in with the whole From All of Us to All of You thing?

You could just say christmas and i'd know you were refering to Donald. But nah i think that has more to do with us being dirty commies and only having one tv channel for the first decade or so. The christmas show was like the only piece of flashy animation avalible for a long span of time and it got ingrained in the minds of people. But i guess it being cool and American and casually racist didn't hurt it's penetration back in 1959.
So, there was an explosion on a Maduro rally, the pig is ok. Aparently a commercial drone with explosives flew in and they shoot it down. Caracas is currently in chaos.
Maduro is claiming that Colombia tried to murder him.
Meanwhile reports indicate that c4 can't explode if shoot, that maybe a drone could explode if hit on the battery, and that there are repports of a gas leak/explossion in one of the houses near the "attack" site.
In the post-truth sphere of a comunist regime, there will be no way to fish what actually happened.
lmao, now is possible for Queen Elizabeth to outlive Maduro and add it to her list of dictators she was capable of assisting their funeral
there are protests all over iran again this isnt the best source but its the only english one i could find
