And because I had to try it…
There’s no excuse for that shit. I could see some 5 foot tall woman being nervous of a big black guy. It’s not alright, but society isn’t perfect and I’m not going to pretend it is.
But when the question is clearly and blatantly racist and Google assumes the victim is the problem? That’s every sort of fucked up.
Problem solved. Now I need to finally change my email address. I’ve definitely put that off too long.
You haven’t seen Idiocracy? For years people got angsty and insisted it wasn’t a documentary, but every passing year they’ve been losing ground on that argument.
Watch out, yesterday someone in a TIL thread on Pop-Tarts said they moved away from the US but have come back several times and always get Pop Tarts first thing… when I warned them not to do that unless they’re very white and haven’t picked up a noticeable accent I was banned for lack of “civility” and “respect.”
Apparently an old black guy trying to keep other people from getting black bagged and disappeared is somehow being disrespectful to… something? I don’t know. Trying to make sense of the world doesn’t work out as well as it used to.
The most unrealistic thing about Idiocracy is the fact that the president faced a problem that he recognized he was not smart enough to solve. So he listened to the smartest people in the room. We could be facing a dinosaurs era ending style meteor that threatens to kill all life on earth. I would fully assume trump would come up with a plan all on his own. A plan that a 5 year old could poke holes in. The kind of plan that an eyeroll isn’t enough, so your eyes themselves groan. Yet nobody will tell him no. At no point will he seek out the help of a mental superior, despite being surrounded by them anywhere he’s ever been. And we all die instead of listening to the scientists that would actually formulate a plan that has at least a chance of working.
Oh, and also the citizens in that movie didn’t hate each other. They were all too stupid to get along, but it’s only their stupidity that causes a divide. They all think they’re doing the right thing, and being good people. I cannot in my life imagine the left or the right looking at the other as good people.
Part of what makes Trump so terrifying is that there were an awful lot of plans made for things the administration should accomplish made up by equally evil but much smarter people. Hell, sometimes it seems like they might be feeding him a stream of Fox News and fake AI “news” to coach him into doing the insane, destructive things they want.
I guess a President who has his head so far up his own ass he can be easily manipulated by the people around him is different from a President willingly looking for a smart person to make smart decisions. I’d take Terry Crews in a heart beat. I honestly just want to see him shirtless and glaring standing on the Senate floor reminding everyone not to vote for no bullshit.
The citizens part… would have been great if they divided everyone into gangs by clothing color and had them hate on anyone wearing a different color because they’re wearing the stupid people colors and not the smart people color.
