Is NBC News stupid ? Why are they turning wearing masks into a race issue?


It's not just white people who don't want to wear a mask. I'm lebanese and I HATE masks! I mean seriously. Is NBC News run by a clan of idiots? Why divide us based on race? Are they racists?

You been in a coma for the last year or so?

Everything is about race in pop culture right now.
@SumKindaMunster last 13 years. It's been gradually building to this point.

@PrivateHell I said in my own response since about 2015 but I guess that stuff was happening for awhile, people are getting worse though.

@SatanBurger Yeah I wanna say 2012 for myself. That's when I first started noticing that white males in commercials were all fat idiots being led around by their much more intelligent wife and children.

Except for car or beer commercials of course.

Now every commercial has a POC in it, as if America isn't 76% white...

@SumKindaMunster Yeah I started noticing in 2015 after I found a few news articles saying that multiple comedians won't go to college campuses anymore. I knew that was a bad sign when comedians, not typically political, won't even go to colleges.

Apparently it's because they have to heavily censor.

You can't even write about time periods accurately anymore with movies and other things.

Yeah, to me it comes across as vindictive and discriminatory at this point. I am all for accuracy in casting historical figures, but it seems like its more about denying and retaliating against white people instead of lifting non white people up.

I was just reading a quick article about how the producers of the show "Wandavision" choose not to have a Dr Strange cameo because...

[quote]Feige goes on to explain that they “didn’t want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie—here’s the white guy, ‘Let me show you how power works.’” [/quote]

How is that not discriminatory and racist?

@SumKindaMunster Oh my god about Dr. Strange lol... that's so racist I have to laugh at the absurdity 😂

"here's me, I'm white, here's my power"

Lmao like all white people don't work hard or something and they just all stole it.

That's racist.

Yeah I've been finding newer comedies that are around 2020 and beyond to be horrible. It will say comedy but then when you watch it be all feel good movie that is more drama than comedy.

Haha. It's so weird.

@SatanBurger You the know the most annoying thing about it all? People act like this is some sort of righteous reckoning, but this is just corporate marketing. They are manipulating the young into believing they are part of some just cause, getting ready to overthrow the corrupt system and build a beautiful mulitcultural utopia.

But its bullshit. This is just so they can sell products and ideas to a younger generation who are in their prime years of spending money on all sorts of high priced items.

All the movies are the same, same stories just recast. They just keep repeating the same themes and ideas, however, the makeup of the cast is now filled with women and POC's instead of white people with token POC's added to the margins.
