Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

His life has already been combed through, one time he borrowed a table in college to use in a different room. He was a rapper and had a mustache for a while
What they actually mean is that, for years to come, they're going to ask him if he's extra sure he's not a terrorist in every single conversation
I AM NOT A TERRORISM THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO RHIS MATTER
He called a lady "auntie" that wasn't his biological aunt though
Say he's brown without saying he's brown lol
?
Like every other culture uses familial terms for an extra layer of casual address, white people are the only ones that don't
I do. I know a ton of white people who do. My family does. This is true across family/friends ib multiple states. My kid calls our close adult friends uncle/aunt/gramma.
I guess some don't. I'm sure that's also true of some non-white people.
Sure, because that's the norm for humans
I'm sure you could find specific subcultures elsewhere that don't do this, but it's the default everywhere else. It's not just close family friends or people you grew up with, any friend from a generation up is Uncle or Aunty
I'm sure there's a reason for it, and it's probably a very interesting one
OK but saying white people don't do this is wrong
It's an exaggeration to illustrate a point... It's not literally true
But it is pointing at something that is true
