My newest Glee theory is that while all the students seem to exist pretty much in the present, all the teachers have frozen in 1987, which is a little weird since at least half of them would have been about 10 years old then. Jazzercise and Joan Jett in the first ten minutes?

Community as a Drama. this is awesome.
Amazing.
To be honest, this isn’t too far off of an accurate Community promo.
So This Happened of the Day: Cyndi Lauper commandeers a PA microphone at Jorge Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires for an impromptu performance of “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” in an effort to help airport staff quell the anger of severely delayed passengers.

We’ll be going over it more in-depth in the future but I had to get the obvious answer of the way.

Eh, I wouldn’t say no. I’ve seen companies hire blacks over whites simply because they were black.
THAT IS NOT OPPRESSION! Even if these “companies you’ve seen” existed they would be outliers.
Studies have shown over and over again that White Males are more likely to hired, less likely to be unemployed, more likely to go to college, less likely to be imprisoned for identical crimes, extremely less likely to get the death penalty.
Whites more likely to get a job over minorities

Death Penalty more likely for minorities

Death Penalty more likely if victim is white

Black Unemployment to hit 25 year high
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/14/AR2010011404085.html
That time or even times you saw a Black person treated preferentially neither erases their oppression nor makes whites oppressed. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, society is bigger than you and I.

If you know anything about me, you’ll know I’m not the least bit racist. But, has anyone stopped to think that the “Black” unemployment has absolutely nothing to with racial preference of employers and more to do with the fact that maybe a decent amount of “Blacks” are lazy? Not every statistic has to be based on race. Some people are lazy, some people are fuck-ups, some people can’t keep a job because of their personality. I don’t think any of these reasons have anything to with race; black, white, Asian, Pacific Islander, Russian, German, etc.
This is perhaps the most racist thing I have ever read…
-Joe
OH NO HE DIDN’T. Wow. Way to sound straight out of every 1950s race debate ever.”I’m not racist but my statement bears an uncanny resemblance to those said by racists, in fact, to one of the most common ones. That makes me…what?”
Side note: this is why people who complain about quotas or “preferential treatment” (that was my ethics textbook, oh the rage I felt) are morons: the reason a lot of white dudes are hired all the time isn’t because they’re always the most competent in every case. It’s because people hire white dudes BECAUSE they are white and male. Okay? Okay. So for people to say “oh, but you wouldn’t want to be hired because of a race-based/gender-based quota as opposed to your qualifications”, goddammit, there IS one in place already.
THIS. ilusfm.
“I’m not racist, but…” is a dead give away that a racist statement is about to follow.
“I’m not racist, but I TOTALLY AM AND LET ME PROVE IT BY SOUNDING LIKE A CARICATURE OF A RACIST PERSON!” Hilarious in the ‘haha wow I can’t believe people like this still exist’ way that’s not actually hilarious at all. Self-reflection is HARD, you guys.
This Is Heartbreaking, You Should Watch It of the Day: Palm Springs residents Ed Watson and Derence Kernek have been in a loving, committed relationship for over 40 years.
Recently, Ed was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and the disease appears to be progressing rapidly. The couple want nothing more than to be able to get married before the Alzheimer’s wipes away Ed’s memories of the life they’ve shared.
With the help of the Courage Campaign, Ed and Derence have submitted this video plea to have California’s ban on same-sex marriages lifted until the state’s Supreme Court makes its final decision on constitutionality of Proposition 8. “If the California Supreme Court is going to take its time,” Ed says, “then we deserve the dignity of marriage…before I can’t remember what marriage is.”
