    Bigots Are Using a Bizarre Meme About 'Dark White Skin' to Exploit the Cleveland Facebook Killing

    Well, I guess the bigots are even dumber than I thought. The "dark white skin" thing is so fucking stupid, it really makes no sense given what they were attempting to accomplish or say.
    And yeah, wow.... way to fucking go unsung, lmao.

    No disputing that, but I didn't do it.  So I am not taking blame for it either.
    Right, you should only be taking blame for contributing to and participating in a culture of racism.

    I was reading about that this morning. Absolute crap. Now, it's possible that burrito place went under because they suck, but for people to call them out for "cultural appropriation' is pure stupidity

    Haha, I don't think he's in Portland yet, so he should be safe. But I'm sure those righteous Portland hipsters would run him out of town if he dared try to make a mole in their city. That white dude should stick to burgers I guess.

    Now this is funny.  This is a restaurant I would have opened during the mad cow era just because business would boom.

    Heat Street is described online as a libertarian, "anti-SJW" site.  So take what you want from that.

    My Libertarian take away: if you're business sucks or you don't know what you're doing, blame the government or someone else.

    Here's something from the HuffPost if that is more palatable :wink: .  - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/portland-burrito-cart-closes-after-owners-are-accused-of-cultural-appropriation_us_5926ef7ee4b062f96a348181
    Sounds like white people in Portland should stick to cooking burgers and meth. Wait, scratch the meth, that was appropriated from Japan. So, burgers then.
