It was satire, but it’s always been true. That’s why the Green Book

Casino marketing is the career you choose when you can't decide which path to reject as the lesser evil. Checks out that he's a warped, conspiracy-spouting shithead. I'd wager that there's a lot he doesn't understand.

I love the guy from the suburbs confidently saying “most of Chicago does want this.” Classic.

I fucking can't stand suburbanites that act like they know a single fucking thing about Chicago.

Every sentence revealing more about Larry Goone's state of being made my eyebrows climb higher towards my hairline.
Truly you cannot make this shit up anymore, this would be a caricature of an adult in any other century.

Well at least his name is fitting. He is 100% a goone

Life imitates art.
For most writers a good day is when life and the people they meet allow them to channel Truman Capote. Yesterday, those writers got to channel Douglas Adam’s without even trying.

I've spoken English my whole life, and I've never referred to someone's appearance as "exhibiting a fact." It's not complete word salad, but it's close.

It's a lot more explicit than it was.
Used to be they'd pretend to have some sort of race-neutral reason. They've stopped doing that.

I like how the asshole who starts sprinting at him first almost faceplants coming off the curb.

Why it seems like yes absolutely this man is chased for how he looks

You better watch it with that talk. I don’t like the way you look.

This is what I am afraid of if they are in all blue cities by the midterms in the day of election they in theory can hold anyone they want.

Shoot the fascists. You guys were good at that some decades ago.

Who isn't. Life sucks often and getting my ass up in my free time is extra hard. It is however something that needs to be done. So id advise everyone to search for allies irl.

I love that this image has a black guy standing in the mix who should be wondering whether he is supposed to be arresting people that don't look like him as stated, or if the racism is pointed at a particular ethnicity.

"They're not targeting me" (right now/overtly/yet).

They won’t dare take on actual gangs and the drug trade in the cities. That will get the officers hurt. They’ll bother law abiding citizens.
