CNN is stirring controversy with an article that calls the upcoming NBA All-Star Game "Black Thanksgiving."
The article, by longtime NBA analyst David Aldridge, calls All Star Weekend a "national holiday" for African Americans, and quotes USC professor Todd Boyd as saying that "the NBA All-Star weekend has turned into a celebration of African American culture by extension."
The article also ran in the middle of the front page of CNN's home page (scroll down for a screenshot).
But some of the hundreds of commenters who flooded the story were not happy. "Shame on you CNN for perpetuating the racism in America...and for what, to get readers? Are you that desperate?" commenter yippidy wrote.
"You managed to include every Black stereotype known to the Western world in this article," rockhanna said.

teal and orange. I can't do abbrevs in my head anymore.
Eh? Outsourced was a pretty good and thoughtful comedy about cultural differences, and it didn't really make fun of Indians at all.

Oh, I didn't know that. That poster is from the movie, though.

no, it's not.

Hmm, I guess you're right... The main guy and girl look pretty similar to the actors who played them in the movie, that's what fooled me.

That's racist.

Even worse than that, it's not even a sitcom. It's one of those comedies resembling a poorly produced reality show.
No it isn't!

my biggest problem with college libraries is that they become these pools of self-flagellators, like it becomes a contest to see who can stay there the longest, and "I've been in the library for the past 2 weeks" becomes this sort of badge of pride, it's rly gross
― dayo, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:47 (thirteen years ago) link
i was never one of those ppl but i would always advocate to my friends that there should be some credit system for going to the library so that when finals came around you got preferential treatment over ppl that obv only came for finals and were rude ppl that didn't know how to exist politely in a library

do people go to the library just cause its a good quite place to work or are they actually looking at books

i got books like maybe five times in four years and that was only because something i was working on required an actual book source
but so much stuff is just archived on databases now esp if you're in a liberal arts/classic field

dont they know they can just call asian girls on their phones xp

college libraries are not even that good of a place to study unless you go into one of the attic cages and seclude yourself -- otherwise you could distract yourself for hours just by running into ppl you know and/or people watching
i think most ppl go to just to be like "i got out of the house, which is something that humans do"
