Of course not. I don't think 99% of the world agrees with this. If it hadn't been an article on CNN, I would think it was satire.
Just because I enjoy looking at Biden's booty doesn't mean I'm a "super big liberal." And just because I post something doesn't mean I agree with it or like it. I post a lot of things I don't agree with and things I don't even have an opinion about, as long as it's something I think people will find interesting. -

I like it how you post things controversial etc but then tend to stay out of offering an opinion and arguments when others bring it up if they agree or disagree with it.
Even though you may not be neutral on the subject you make it look like you are and I like that.

Thanks! Sometimes I offer my opinion, but other times I'm just curious about other people's opinions.
And then there are certain debates I just stay out of (even if I do have an opinion on one side of the issue), because they're repetitive and go nowhere. Sometimes I start to get into a debate and I end up quickly losing interest. -

Yeah, everyone will always come in with a stubborn mindset.
I have never once ever seen anyone in a debate go, "You know. I think you are right after all. I will change my position on this and agree with you."
Instead it becomes this bickering back and forth that never goes anywhere.
I dunno what drives it but there is something that makes one want to share their viewpoint, myself included, then get into arguments should anyone disagree.
Some knowingly do this to get a rise from others just to troll.

Exactly. If you disagree with something, it might feel better to voice your opinion. But it's rare for anyone to "switch sides." Sometimes people might understand opposing viewpoints a little better when debating others; but often, nobody on either side is even trying to consider the other point of view and they just end up repeating themselves over and over. Some people think whoever gets the last word "wins," so they keep going and going until the other person stops replying.

In the US when the demand for racism is so high but the supply is so incredibly low, you end up with stupid **** like this.

Me. I invented it. Just me.
Lol, not sure who exactly, this saying has been going around for a while.

Yeah, lol. This is from the article that's in my OP:
Consider what happened to the woman now known as Sweet Brown after she went viral. She hired an agent and appeared on “The View” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” An Auto-Tuned version of her original video now has at least 22 million views.
Sweet Brown did go public with accusations that she had been exploited. But it had little to do with her race.
In 2013, she sued Apple and an Oklahoma radio show over using her likeness without permission and producing a song, sold on iTunes, that sampled some of her catchphrases.
Is Sweet Brown the victim of digital blackface? Or did she benefit from the exposure?
