Possible, and historically I have generally trusted in the rational calm of boardrooms, but no longer surrounding this issue, or any matter of identity politics. The liberals have whipped too many people into a hysteria where they presume their feelings or politics transcend reason and law. This defense is an appeal to authority, but the corporate atmosphere has squandered moral authority on this matter, and this has been projected through "activist" businessmen and individuals.Well, I gleaned an entirely fucking different message because I'm not on my period.*
The article said, "He apparently intended for the remarks to convey his antipathy to racism," but others felt otherwise. It doesn't take a master of reading comprehension to understand this means that no matter how it sounded, it was not his intent to support these things.
The issue, then, is why did the people on the call with him react the way they did when he apparently had good intentions?
Having worked in a call centre I can tell you it's totally fucking simple. Communication face to face conveys far far more information that voice only. I'm willing to bet there would have been far less of a reaction by the people at the other end of the phone had they been there instead.
No, I will not lay this at the feet of Steve Bannon. He didn't do this. Bannon only gained notoriety because of #BLM and radicalization of the mainstream liberal party. They were the ones who presented people like Shaun King as moral authorities.I agree it's still a total over-reaction and that everyone, no matter what side of these issues you happen to be on, seems to be over-sensitive these days. You can lay this squarely at the feet of Steve Bannon, who first learned how to exploit online outrage. It progressed into the current "flip out first, ask questions later" social atmosphere we live in. The only solution I can think of is to keep making reasonable statements on the issues like in my second paragraph, above, and hope it catches on.
Fascism isn't a concept limited to the rule of law or government, and my fight is in defense of this man in this specific situation.Lol, it's about socially acceptable behavior, not about rule of law.
By all means, you can go around dropping n-bombs if you're such a freedom fighter.
He said Cornel Sanders used to say the word, but he said the actual word.Conservatives are always gnashing their teeth over not being able to say the n word freely.
John schnatter is a grade A scum bag and embodies the worst qualities of a rich businessman.
Oh and his pizza sucks. Gross.
Well to tell you honestly it depends on the person and or the people around you.This may help
The lessons he learned, and subsequently used to great effect, were adopted by many, if not all, the most malevolent purveyors of social media platforms and content (thereby including Cambridge Anal, Breitbart, Facebook, Russian troll farms, and so on). They’ve had a gigantic impact on this whole situation. And that mtherfucker started it.Possible, and historically I have generally trusted in the rational calm of boardrooms, but no longer surrounding this issue, or any matter of identity politics.

Conservatives may need to form a watchdog for this in the same tradition as the SPLC and ADL.

They were the ones who pivoted what should have been a platform about economics (because not only black people are poor), urban planning, and self-defense rights into one focused purely through the prism of race. Bannon was able to capitalize on the hysteria; a moment for which he had waited his entire life to arrive.
Cambridge Analytica existed wholly independent of Bannon. He simply used social media-- via groups like them-- more effectively for Trump's campaign than Shaun King and his minions did for Hillary's.The lessons he learned, and subsequently used to great effect, were adopted by many, if not all, the most malevolent purveyors of social media platforms and content (thereby including Cambridge Anal, Breitbart, Facebook, Russian troll farms, and so on).

This isn’t a left thing. It’s a reaction to the insanity of the (alt) right thing.
I sorta agree, but I don't think this was one of those situationsWell to tell you honestly it depends on the person and or the people around you.

Can't disagree with you on that part.I sorta agree, but I don't think this was one of those situations

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Thanks for that, liberals.
P.S. I'm taking for granted that you're aware the Democrats also sampled their wares.
Thats not what he said.
This is "basically" a terrible reading, and a strawman.
This all day long. For every conversation taking place in the world today, there's a fucking snowflake ready to be offended by its content.Wake me up when the PC police start going after everyone who uses the word. Race-based enforcement is racist.
Context and intent is specifically why Black people saying it to each other is not racist (obviously) , whereas non-Blacks saying it to Blacks motivated by anger is racist.Silliness. Context and intent apparently don;t mean anything.
Do you also want to edit classic works of literature? Or only for whites?
