The Generic Racism Thread 1: Lift Every Voice and Sing

Not quite... They are theming the ride to THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. This was Disney's 1st black princess.

This wasn't a spur of the moment change (seems to have been in the works for up to a year), and Disney is playing this carefully. They don't want any attention for this, but they have stacked the deck in their favor if they are forced to play ball.

Yeah, Disney doesn't retheme rides on a whim, they've likely been working on this for a year or two. If anything they announced this before they really wanted to but sensed the opportunity to promote things and get some good press.

And of course the sunglasses brigade is mighty upset...

So to counter all of the negativity- one of our friends has been running a group in Detroit that has been dedicated to send kids to college, and make sure they stay. They are an amazing group, and we are very proud to know and support them. Education is one of the key reasons why this imbalance continues.

Don't read the responses unless you want to risk clinical depression.

Abolish the Republican party.

I am going to assume it is a lot of rednecks and bots talking about Jussie Smollet and how this was all a hoax?

"NEW: More from NYT/Siena polling. A newfound majority of US voters are embracing tenets of the Black Lives Matter movement, our poll finds, and rejecting the president’s focus on looting and rioting. His narrow focus has not worked. w/ @dionnesearcey"

So, what is a DIY Karen who doesn't call the cops but takes cares of it himself?

Also, what can Barajas and the bystander sue him for? I guess for the bystander it's assault. For Barajas, how do you sue for discrimination against some rando who does this? There is a harm, beyond the psychological, in preventing somebody from entering his own home right?

Yes and they all eerily use the same language. I assume the Echo Chamber has been training them. They also tie it to COVID masks, a.k.a., "he could breath if he took off that mask."

One poster nailed it. "We used to have to find racists but now they tell on themselves."

I dont think there is much Barajas can do...his best course of action was to make it public which he did. Not Male Karen is losing his job and place to live.

Bigots are almost impossible to save but it would be nice if they at least kept the bigotry to themselves. Once they get into their homes they can rage at their bathroom mirrors or something. It is wonderful that these idiots are losing their jobs as soon as the news comes to light. I suppose there is an advantage to fewer than 10% of private sector employees being in unions as these idiots can be summarily fired for any transgression the employer believes was a fireable offense.

This is going to be a transitional time for many of these people. 10 years ago, this behavior was around. It just got swept under a rug.

Now companies need to act when something of this nature goes down. The moron just doesn't realize that the times have changed. What will be really telling is that if incidents of this nature start taking a toll on future job offers as we enter an era where employers gander at every possible piece of information out there on a person before deciding to extend an offer.

No sympathy for them. Just a form of social darwinism.
