[mod edit] Root whine after the jump
Really - the most useless types of white people, ranked? Am I the only one who feels like if you can’t substitute black for white and white for black without being called a racist, you probably shouldn’t publish this shit?
I come here to get away from this shit, not to have Gawker constantly “suggesting” it to me.

Ok first off this is why we have a rule against inter-kinja shit stirring. If you don’t like it, don’t come here to complain about it.
Secondly, racism literally kills black people. What you claim is racism against white people (calling certain types of us “useless,” the horror) does nothing but chap some asses. No one’s using any of those alleged white stereotypes to justify oppression, because we’re not oppressed on the basis of race.

Last I knew, inter-Kinja sharing was OK here as long as one provides their own commentary on the article rather than just sharing directly. OP has done as such. Even if you disagree with the content you should respect their right to post it.
And having a tougher go at life shouldn’t excuse ANYONE from Being Excellent To Each Other. Articles like what was OP has referenced don’t exactly add anything constructive to the fight for civil equality. There is a way present issues you have about specific attitudes regarding race without disparaging white people.

It appears to be okay because nobody said shit about the Root article and then when someone finally did they got called whiny and a mod took it upon themselves to edit the article to fit their OPINION.
Quit the rhetoric when someone with more authority than they should clearly have starts changing other people’s posts according to their beliefs or mood instead of just by the rules they’re in place to enforce.

Why?
I have to use a lead image and warning when the screenshot (and story) is from jalopnik?
So whatever your reason, why doesn’t Gawker (or Univision or whoever the hell they are now) offer us the same courtesy?
They don’t, and that’s the whole point.
In fact, that other post has taken this thing full circle.
btw, I take no issue with the “Root whine” edit. That was well played, and I was away from my computer - you do what you have to do.
However, I disagree this is even politics. This is just treating people decently. And my original point (and For Sweden’s, too) remains that if it’s not OK for a white guy to write a post like this about black folks, how in the hell is it OK for black guy to write a post like this about white folks?
And if it’s not OK, why should I just quietly put up with it?
If it’s not OK, why do I have to put up with it on MY EFFING CAR BLOG.
If it’s NOT ok, what does that say about the editors of my blog?
I mean, as shitty as Autoblog is, I don’t have put up with this crap over there. Car and Driver, Road and Track - none of them hawk this kind of bullshit. Why does Jalopnik - who claims to be about the cult of cars - always bring up this kind of crap?
I don’t care if you have a Land Cruiser or a Volvo. I don’t care if you are FWD or RWD. I don’t care if you’re FI or NA.
And I certainly don’t care what color it is.
But Jalopnik (or at least their overlords) seems to want me to be keenly aware of the color of the human behind the wheel.
And I’m about as tired as I can get of that duplicity.

Sorry to hear I mod editing while you were away, but this idea of politically sensitive post needing to be after the jump is old news. If you didn’t think this was politically sensitive...come on. Really?
Also I want to make it quiet clear this isn’t a content edit. I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, here or in the other posts like this exact one. In the future just follow the rule that if you think its going to cause a shitstorm in the comments, just do us a favor and put it after the jump.

I don’t mind the editing - I was away. And seriously - that was a good joke. None of that bothers me. I have a job. I don’t just sit here and monitor every post. I was shocked to see that many comments.
And I’ll verify that you didn’t change the content in case anyone is still wondering. No beef there.
But yeah, I don’t see this as a political issue unless racism is now a political issue. It’s about being decent to one another.
In fact, the fact that this has blown up just highlights my point.
We have rules in Oppo about how we treat one another. Why doesn’t the front page need to follow similar rules?

Your point is good, but eventually it’s like chastising Germans in the 1990s for what the Nazis did in the 1940s. Yes, that’s an oversimplification because our First Amendement keeps letting people like Richard Spencer rally his band of nutjobs. (The Germans have tight controls over Nazi propaganda)
"DipodomysDeserti" (dipodomysdeserti)
11/09/2017 at 19:16, STARS: 2
It’s actually not at all like that. The Germans were invaded and faced consequences for their actions. The guys in charge were hunted down and later executed. Many of the police/politicians/judges in the post Reconstruction South who subjugated and killed blacks were never punished for their crimes. Black men are still imprisoned at a much higher rate than any other group whereas Germans aren’t still locking up Jews. If German Jews were being imprisoned at higher rates than non Jews amd unarmed Jews were being killed by German police every other month, then I think it would be prudent to criticize modern Germans for their treatment of Jews.
However, I definitely would never tell a Holocaust survivor that they can’t criticize Germany because it was a long time ago. That would be a pretty disgusting thing to do.
