    (Anyone but a white person gets a job or wins an award)

    GOP: Reverse racism!!!

    I’m not really a fan of hers, but I’m pretty certain she won a Grammy because she’s fucking Beyonce not because she’s black.

      These white supremacists are thrown into confusion whenever a white person isn’t chosen for anything at all. Which would just be pathetic, but they run the country so it’s a problem.

    DEI has become the socially-acceptable way to say the N-Word

    And claiming someone is a DEI-Hire or “Won because of DEI”, has become the polite way to say that a black person’s accomplishments are invalid due to them being black.

    When someone who’s never accomplished anything impressive sees someone who has, if they’re a piece of shit, their reaction is to attack that person.

    America has always been a racist as fuck country. The only difference is that it’s now blatantly mask off.

      To quote Sonny from In the Heights, “racism in this nation has gone from latent to blatant”. And that was in 2008. I wonder what he’d say now.

    Racist Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT) has joined the disproportionately vocal minority of racists who were unimpressed by Beyoncé at the Grammy Awards last Sunday because she’s black.

    Write it like the truth, because anything else downplays how awful these people are.

    It’s hard to imagine anyone more corporate than Beyonce: a soulless, money-driven try-hard record-company employee of the month.

    The Grammys are awards for whoever spent the most money on recording and marketing anyway. They have little to do with any kind of artistic or technical merit or musicianship. Maybe never did.
