The virile black man stereotype? Not in the US. it's apart of the myth that black men are naturally very strong and thuggish. It's also usually paired with the concept of them being extremely sexual (think of the giant black penis stereotype and the constant fear mongering surrounding black men 'stealing' all the white women). These are extremely old stereotypes that harken back to when black slaves were viewed in a fashion closer to beasts of burden than to human beings.

EDIT: woops, saw my typo, should be fixed now.

It's because they are in a performing role. They are token individuals destroying their bodies to create entertainment for the audience. It's no different than how the south treats rodeo as some kind of beacon of equality for black individuals. It's purely a facade to point at when denying the existence of inequality and dismissing civil rights arguments.

It's also directly tied to the myth of the primal black man - all brawn and no brain. A racist sex symbol.

EDIT: typos

EDIT 2: flipped brain and brawn, didn't notice. Fixed.

I know a certain firearms guy who's pointed out gun culture's hypocrisy for quite a while (most recent video regarding it).

  • Israel is deranged and has the strongest military in the middle east atm, and nukes
  • The US has its navy on every major trade route
  • Europe's biggest members are all still aligned with Israel.

Basically Any nation attempting to jettison Israel would be devastated in multiple fashions, so none of them wants to start a large-scale fight.

He's currently trying to get a 51st state (Canada would need to be at least 6 or more, in all honesty), but it looks like he's at risk of losing some states from where I'm sitting.

This whole thing reads not like a codebase versus, but a traditional engineering approach (don't act like you can patch this once you release it - get it done so it's stable the first time) versus the more modern "move fast and break things" approach.

I think the best way to understand the Planck length is to understand how we came to Planck's constant in the first place. ~~Science~~ Physics girl has a good video on it (she shared today that she's getting better, which is fantastic news)

Not a member myself, but I agree that this makes alot of sense, where proof of membership is a requirement to join this instance.

On a seperate note, how does one become a member of SDF?
