It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The racism is just so deeply ingrained they don't understand, and there's not much to say about Obama at this point; he's taking the piss and he knows it.

Wasn't Biden the one who called Obama "clean and articulate?"

I believe it was along the lines of "he's the first clean, articulate black man to run for president," evidently forgetting that he was in the '88 primary with Jesse Jackson.

jesus-christ

mostly unrelated but i've always found it funny that when the US decided a black man should be president, they managed to find like the ONE dude that had no enslaved ancestors. fits well with the general ethos of the US.

It must be remarked that he is half white and mostly raised by the white side of his family (I think his maternal grandparents), which explains a lot of his socialization.

not only white, old moneyed wasps. If you look for his moms yearbook photo it looks like hp lovecraft cosplaying as stepford wives.

And then the settlers wonder why I call Biden a virulent racist
