Entertainment business is not about the bottom line, many actors/directors... get blackbooked for having right leaning views, it's the same thing as schools, those 2 are the bedrocks for cultural subversion. Hollywood is as political as it gets.
You don't think Netflix are just pre-emptively removing anything that could make them look bad? Don't think money is a factor?

i also tend to believe this is the main driving factor.
Same as any company who is slapping BLM on their instagram pages. There would be companies that have pure intentions but most just want to hop on the wave and make money from it.

Netflix just don't want to be associated with supporting shows that have used black face
IMO.

Nike is probably the funniest, their company literally profits off modern day slave labour. Which is why it's pretty ironic when LeBrons thing is the whole "more than athlete" stand up for social issues. Doesnt nike get workers from modern day labour camps in China?

Ah the NRIs who love their motherland. If they want to live under the great promise of Modi, they should all just come back :D But they won't. They want all the chest thumping without any of the struggles. They want to cheer Kashmir is ours and fuck Pakistan while not caring about the gross violation of rights. I do have a good chuckle when NRIs in the middle east say stupid things about Muslims and then get fired from their jobs.
Modi fucked the economy even before the virus struck. His main policies in his first term basically screwed the country over, from which we have barely recovered. The central government hasn't even been able to pay the states their share of taxes on time. It's all shock and awe and some catchy phrases. Now he wants us to be Athmanirbhar which basically means self-sufficient. And yet when companies are leaving China, we are not able to attract them to invest here. I guess that's what you get when you replace a PM with a PhD in Economics with one who proudly proclaims he was a tea seller (and then years later says he's got Masters in 'Entire Political Science'. And no, I'm not making that up)
I think it's about time we started an Indian Politics thread. There's just so much happening. :lol:

Commie trannies from Seatle AZ are already starving, like one day after establishing their 'free state'. Apparently some hobos stole their food and they are now asking people on twitter to bring soy and vegan products. :lol3:

You also enforce their beliefs and create a generation of militant racists. But who's counting history, right? History doesn't matter.

It honestly reads as satire
I had the same problem with it.

they should see how revered trans people are in say, the Middle East or northern Africa
Check yo privilege!

And still the best in sports, technology, and science - the most attractive destination for high-skilled and low-skilled immigrants - the most tolerant of different opinions - and still providing the best environment to discuss ideas :baus:

Nothing can change that, not even Trump.
It's still encouraging to hear that perspective, Hoori.

Good to see that Materazzi has a new job.
:lol:

Even if it is two black guys beating up a white girl, what is it supposed to mean? No one’s claiming all black people are innocent or incapable of committing crimes.
Check yo privilege!

No, seriously. I don't go there for videos anymore. Period. I refused to even see the George Floyd video. A lot of these video samples just make us into reactionary vidiots.

Deep fakes cannot come soon enough. In this, Putin was right.

This is unfortunately true.

Both far-left and far-right extremists have much more in common than they are willing to admit. Different cheeks, same ass.
:lol2:

This is what happens when the only black person on your staff was in the toilet when you held your meeting to discuss this.

dear god :lol:

community oriented police in place :lol3:
There's almost a sort of beautiful naïveté about it all... The blissful ignorance of how they will re-trace the steps of the need to make arrests, the arming of citizens, the need to be visually identifiable in the community, the need to earn a living wage or fall prey to human corruption from vested interests like drug dealers and crime gangs....

Ah the NRIs who love their motherland. If they want to live under the great promise of Modi, they should all just come back :D But they won't.

I've witnessed something like that in my experience. A lot of flag-waving patriotism, but people who wouldn't dare come back to live there. It seems like an identity thing... almost in a way the Sopranos tried to identify themselves as Sicilians.

Yep. Just doing what preserves profits. Values sold to the highest bidder.

Paying Customers Lives Matter

i can see all these stuff increase racism further. maybe that is what intended.
To my original point up top, hellz yeah. Blowback is a beyootch. And sadly I see a lot of the overreaction and overreach today becoming fuel for an equal and opposite overraction and overreach from drooling Nazi mouthbreathers tomorrow.

Now I never bought into the idea that Obama was a radical socialist like some clowns. But Trump is a product and outcome of Obama. Let's not kid ourselves.

I think it's about time we started an Indian Politics thread. There's just so much happening. :lol:
I'm in. :)

Yup. They went for better opportunities (as one should) but want to feel connected to the motherland when they watch one too many Shah Rukh Khan movies :grin:

Shows getting pulled down everywhere

This is ridiculous
The mighty boosh now
Where do we draw the line? There is a fundamental difference between traditional black face and how that was demeaning for black people and shows like the mighty boosh

But business and corporations that don't actually give a fuck about any of this protecting their bottom dollar is hilarious
Cops
Gone with the Wind
Some Quentin Tarantino movies
Elmer Fudds gun
Terry Crews an Uncle Tom


Next they gonna take the Rock from me :lol:

@Post Ironic - working to buy 10 acres in Loudoun County (outside the DC area, but still northern Virginia). Checked it out twice already, the land is flat, good soil...we want to buy it and build a new house on it eventually but in the meantime the first thing I would do is plant my wife and kids an orchard :grin:

No idea how to plant, grow, maintain an orchard but that area is loaded with local breweries and wineries.

Forza US-Canada relations

no problem with confederate statues being torn down, they’re representing treason and a divided nation, but please be more careful:lol:
There’s a statue room in US capitol where every state can donate 2 statues to. The person whose statue is on display must had lived in that state and be a prominent person. Mississippi decided that one of their statues must be of Jefferson Davis. Imagine sending the statue of the biggest traitor to your country just out of spite.
