Darn, I liked their beer too. Oh well…as you say, lots of other local breweries to support instead.

It’s insidious.

Meanwhile, people of color were usually painted as the perpetrators of crimes. Characters who represented advocate groups such as Black Lives Matter were often portrayed as naive, misinformed crusaders instead of informed fighters for justice. And more often than not, Black judge characters were used as figureheads to dispense white perspectives about law and the criminal justice system.
Some of that damage is coming from characters who look like the communities affected. Judges and law enforcement officers who are Black are used by writers to justify the injustice that happens within a show’s story. Robinson said that the effect helps audiences believe that the actions taken by the criminal justice system “must be fair” if a Black character is endorsing them. The characters, he said, are a “symbolic use of Blackness…Black visibility as a stand-in for actual justice and actual truth.”

I just use the Law & Order “Dun Dun” button app. It can turn any social occasion into your own personal episode.

No video, and I am certain the “in fear for my life” excuse will be used. Of a man in cuffs, with hands behind his back.

This is… fucked up on a number of levels, but the baseline assumption that handing out cash will get the black vote starts us off:

IMHO, this just confirms the exceptionally low opinion the right has of the intelligence and agency of the black community. They really need to review their history books just a bit.

But some people still insist that racism isn’t that bad, because they’ve never seen it.
I guess it could be argued that fish don’t see water and we can’t see oxygen and nitrogen, so…

A stupid mistake when dealing with what is perhaps the most sophisticated voting group.

The most heart breaking part is in the comments. (I know, don’t read the comments) There is a “this is due to leftist policies. They were the ones who let these minorities into our countries” vibe. Very much a reflection of what we see here. It’s not only an American problem. This is a contagion far more likely to end us than ccoronavirus.
