I know the game well. Maybe I just live in the wrong place. I see violence all around md to the tune of almost (but not quite) a murder a day with over 700 non fatal shootings a year. Muggings, robberies, car jacking, and sexual assault up to and including rape are all at 20 year highs and rising. My hometown feels less safe than Iraq because at least there I was allowed to shoot back. So I see people calling for violence as I sit here in Baltimore where that is more a portent of things to come rather than a silly little turn of the phrase.

I'll admit I have a bit of a different perspective. The most violent thing I've ever been involved in was a punching match in middle school, one that ended after about a minute - not exactly high tier stuff. And I'm itching to see my elected leaders, well. Let's not say "put up a proper fight", but actually stand up to the right-wingers that have been degrading and sliming them for over a generation now. To actually put their foot down and say "No, we're not going to work with you, because you won't work with us", and actually mean it for once. We got a glimpse of that with Pelosi recently and I loved it. She stood firm, she didn't give Trump what he wanted, and in the end he was forced to cave. That's the kind of thing I want to see more of. Not literal kneecapping, obviously, but political obstinancy.

I hope that helps clear things up.

I knew tumblr radfems had no morals… But watching some of them vehemently defend two women sexually assaulting a trans woman in a bathroom is disgusting. There is no way around it - groping someone’s butt and their chest and exposing your genitals to them and locking them in a bathroom absolutely is sexual assault and it should be condemned by everybody, especially feminists. Imagine having so little empathy for others that you will defend sexual assaulters because they are women and the victim is trans. Some of you post graphics that say “believe survivors, trust survivors, respect survivors” until the victim is part of a group you don’t politically approve of. Absolutely disgusting. Some of you truly have no empathy for anyone who is outside of your in group.

For the record, they're talking about the reactions to this. The women who did this are disgusting human beings, and the same goes for anybody who defends them knowing what they did.

Remember that, according to TERFs, trans women are actually male, therefore it must have been the trans woman who was at fault here.

Once again: It doesn't matter if 4Chan started this "ironically" or not, if the end result is that a bunch of Neo-Nazis and White-supremacists are using the meme unironically it is a racist meme.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Didn't twitter people start censoring names of problematic people they didn't like at one point? No wonder /pol/ would pick it up and make it into some kind of anti-semite thing.

Unfortunately, that meme doesn't really work on black people because there's no character that looks even remotely like a watermelon or bucket of fried chicken.

I have never understood why either fried chicken or watermelon are considered bad. They're both delicious. Although not as good as Mangos.

All I know is that it's a stereotype. Why watermelon and fried chicken are considered bad, if at all, is well outside of my knowledge.

I think it's because they're food traditionally associated with African-Americans (because they were cheap so masters could give them to slaves, and black people could afford them back in the Jim Crow days) so now the association of fried chicken and watermelon to black people is a racist trope.

Yeah, raising chickens was something cheap that the slaves (and poor free men) could afford to do and watermelon contains a lot of water which makes it a good snack for someone who is doing physical labour in the sun.

Another part of the reason for the stereotype was because a lot of freed slaves started growing watermelons after the Civil War. This was mainly for reasons of practicality: watermelons are easy to grow since nature does all the real work, which made them very attractive crops for beginner farmers.
