I liked that add because he called all the arguments against him dog shit. And here I'm discovering I just liked the add because he had a dog. Stupid commercials!
I would bet that the dogs weren't being neglected and tortured like the black children were either. And if they had been they would have gotten help unlike the black children.Every once in a while I'm reminded of that white couple that committed murder-suicide with their 6 adopted black children but made sure their fucking dogs were well taken care of first.
yes.
Black people have to prove themselves constantly. Black women can't be expressive or they are "Angry black women". Black men have for years done their best to appear as non-threatening to white people. It gets old.
I know you're joking to some extent, but I remember an old thread (either here or on GAF) where there was a significant amount of people who said they would save their dog rather than another human they didn't know. I understood that dogs are part of the family but it seemed strange to me how fervent the defense was.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Well, white people do care about dogs more than they do black people. It was a smart decision.
John Wick already showed that people care more about dogs than they care about people.Well, white people do care about dogs more than they do black people. It was a smart decision.
Harambe proved that even earlierJohn Wick already showed that people care more about dogs than they care about people.

So if they wanted Warnock to win in a landslide he should have been in an ad riding around in a Boss 429 with a dog in his lap?
Where's the lie?Well, white people do care about dogs more than they do black people. It was a smart decision.
It makes more (?) sense once you realize Pets are basically suggorate children for a lot of people.
It's just, it's outrageous to me that a politician can be openly racist and there are enough voters who not only bypass but actively encourage it.
When Doug Ford came to power here in Ontario I figured that he ran a campaign of Fuck You, Got Mine and that appealed to enough people to get him into office. That's bad enough because it means there are that many people here willing to leave their fellow Canadians to hang in the name of a few extra bucks, but I can process the idea of people scrambling to collect every last shred of money they can at the expense of everyone else. The idea that someone can run on a campaign of literally nothing meaningful except hatred of other people, I don't know how to process that.
Don't forget that Loeffler's positive ads were just as awful as the attack ads. She had ads calling herself more conservative than Attila the Hun as a positive.
...Is this really a constant thing to Black Americans?
Just like, the idea that a Republican can openly smear you using racist dogwhistles, treating you like some kind of animal, and enough white people will nod their heads and it's on you to prove them wrong?
lolIf i run for office i will cover myself in pumpkin spice and carry two of the corgi in a purse things at all time

That part too!That was a great ad. Comparing her ads and beliefs to a bag full of shit that he was tossing away was great imagery.

I use the same measure for white people running for office too."Well I'll be, looks like that dog trusts him. Maybe all of them aren't bad after all." - dat white subconscious
This is a winning message for them, historically, and is much more popular than most of their other policies in any event.
That one got me. The ad ended on him saying "Palestinian lives matter"... that's it! I guess they were trying to get some sort of BLM + anti-Israel combo going, but I really don't think it was effective as they thought it would beoh definitely. When he was saying Palestinian Lives Matter, I was like "hell yeah Warnock". But it's so crazy how the add is framed to make him appear so evil.
My general rule is my home is sanctuary. You manage to get in here and live with me, I respect you and try to keep you safe. People, dogs, cats, spiders, walking moustaches...

They HAD to be trolling... right?It was not only real, there were more people (or at least they were more vocal) in the side of "you should save the turtle". I particularly remember the gotcha attempts like "but would you do that for your dog / cat? if you would then you're a hypocrite" (because apparently all animals are interchangeable).
The grasp some people have on food chains could not help but remind me of an old interview with David Attenborough where he mentioned an irate letter they got saying they should have used all that money spent filming lions hunting and eating herbivores to, instead (and I shit you not, I'm quoting this literally) "teach the lions to eat grass".
Almost half the country voted for Trump. People on average are dumb as bricks.It was not only real, there were more people (or at least they were more vocal) in the side of "you should save the turtle".
