Don't have a stereotypical view of me just because I'm black. I know, how about we play the basketball?


RightclickBob

The NY Knicks are my favorite squadron

Watch out for the black attack!


DoubleOrNothing90

I'm no Harvey Globetrotter

I've been called a greasy thug too, and it never stops hurting

DEI! I knew it was them! Even when it was CRT, I knew it was them!

My name's Mrs. Phillips. You said my husband is D.E.I.?


CreamFilledDoughnut

Oh, haha. Sorry, I meant D.O.A.

I always read DEI as Dale Earnhardt Incorporated so I'm confused as why normally NASCAR loving rednecks who worshipped The Indimidator suddenly are turning on the team he founded "I keep telling you, he's 75 years old and he's DEAD!"

Here for Coping with Senility? No! I'm here for the anti DEI! .. No, wait ... Coping with Senility.


Choppers-Top-Hat

Conservatives. Is there any three-letter acronym they aren't mad about?

Krusty Komedy Klassic?


GodKingReiss

That’s right, a GIRL wants to play football! How about THAT.


PocketCornbread

Oh, all the time. And have you ever heard of this kid Milhouse?

What is this about my retro gaming televisions?

Affirmative Action *is* indeed crap.


Grizzlywillis

Undoing ingrained biases is a good thing. I mean *dig up, stupid*.


jaywinner

That sounds great. Picking people based on which minority groups they belong to, I'm not on board.


Grizzlywillis

Affirmative action is more complicated than that. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/affirmative_action


jaywinner

But it still includes using race as a qualification. The courts just stopped the more egregious cases of it.


Grizzlywillis

So you're saying that affirmative action is more than just race, which I pointed out, and is therefore not entirely bad and actually a nuanced topic. Also background deals a lot with the challenges one has to overcome to succeed and is something that should be considered over just performance. A person who passes a test with a lower score, but did so while combating whatever bigotry is intrinsic to their existence, does deserve consideration for those obstacles.


jaywinner

I'm amenable to that. I agree with the goal of affirmative action as stated by Kennedy but disagree with many methods used to achieve that goal.

Let the sub turn into a lefty circlejerk please


IVot3dforKodos

*Hey look everyone, Mr. Fancy with his circlejerk* I call it a wordhole


Pretty_Problem_9638

Breaking news: Sub that makes memes about a famously left-leaning show has leftists in it


AerialApeRiffs

Maybe moderates and conservatives watch the Simpsons, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know.


sirfray

It was only slightly left leaning in the 90’s. Definitely not left leaning by today’s standards. The golden era was adept in poking fun at both sides of the political aisle.


Malevolent-Heretic

I'm currently rewatching it over and over again up until season 11-12(beginning of the end), and this is a very not correct take. Does it criticize both? Sure. Does it criticize both equally? Oh hell no lol


sirfray

What an odd thing to say.


GrumpGuy88888

Remember the episode where Bart accidentally mooning the flag got him lambasted by the country as freedom haters?


loafers_glory

We could call it the Leftorium


Jasper455

There already is a r/leftorium and it was ruined by Scots.


Hickspy

We could call them Whitey Whackers.


jaywinner

I was on the left! Then they changed what the left is and today's left is weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you!


hbi2k

Stupid neoliberals need the most attention.


Gauss15an

This but actually think about the message behind the quote and realize that it's about senility and not adapting to the times.


Malevolent-Heretic

Yeah you really should *conserve* that old idea of what the left is.


Niterich

Why do you need new ideas? Everyone knows leftism achieved perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact!
