Stop taking selfies and drive your fucking car dipshits!
I don’t think it’s racist to not enjoy something you’re unfamiliar with. And I worry that labeling stuff that isn’t racism as racism waters down what racism actually is.
I didn’t really like the halftime show, but that’s because it’s not the kind of thing I usually listen to. I didn’t dislike it, it was just kind of…neutral to me. I’m guessing if I knew the tracks I would’ve enjoyed it more.
I did like the set design. It was pretty cool.
Had it been country music I would’ve actively disliked it.
The difference is you (and I) didn't make a big fuss to make sure everyone in our social circles is aware of the fact we didn't like it. If someone asks me, I'll say "yeah the clown car thing was super fun and the backup dancers did good and the guy on the lamppost, what was he doing up there? But yeah not my thing."
But that would imply that I thought the talent was talented and worked hard to put on a good show, which if I was a racist pos I would not want people to think I thought that.
So to recap: not liking something that isn't to your taste is not racism, but declaring it excessively within certain social circles certainly can be a form of virtue signalling... The signaled virtue being how white you are.
That term was watered down several years ago. Which is sad, because it's supposed to be impactful and mean something when heard. Now it's a reactionary term for "thing/person I don't like". I know we'll return to normalcy eventually, but damn, it's taking a long time.
The difference is that you're not calling it "DEI", highlighting the fact that you just use that as a substitute for the n word, considering that all the performers were black and there was no diversity there.
I'm just going by what I'm reading online but to me it seems like a fair assumption that the people crying "DEI", and who didn't mind being in the same company as neo-nazis when it came to who they were supporting politically, are probably racist.
I listen to that stuff and it was just okay. Better halftime shows and worse meh
Yeah I also didn't care for it, but that's cause i don't listen to Kendrick Lamar and I find rap hard to enjoy if you're unfamiliar with the artist/lyrics (maybe it's just me or my hearing, but stadium/concert rap is impossible to decipher).
Looking around at opinions, a lot of people enjoyed it so seems like he was a good pick.
70% of NFL fans are white and 53% of players are black.
So the white fans want to watch black athletes but not have anything to do with black artists. They can probably block out that the players are mostly Black, Hispanic and mixed race because they have helmets on and are just jerseys to them.
We all are mixed... we are all humans... we all are homo sapiens (modern humans) Race is a concept to divide and conquer by some humans
Not like the shape of our nipples. Am I right my fellow tiny nips?
The underlying assumption here seems to be that white people don't listen to hip-hop, which I don't think is true at all. I think Superbowl audiences just span several generations and Kendrick, while pretty popular, isn't so famous to be known by a lot of old people. This has been an issue with Superbowl acts for a while now... there's not as much of a monoculture with pop music as there used to be, and so musicians aren't reaching the same status in pop culture as they used to.
Me, sitting in Europe with my binoculars: What are they up to this time over there?
My husband happens to look like a MAGA person (bald with a goatee and sunglasses) but he is as liberal as they come. At least he doesn’t drive a truck, lol. And he wears rainbow shirts. Cause, you know, rainbow = gay DEI or something.
Middle-aged, goateed, white guy here. LOL, I dress pretty country, but I have long hair and kinda have a vibe. No one speaks politics to me because they can't quite be sure of what team I'm on.

Found a new one and got 10 for $10!
Anybody wants one, I'll send it for $1 plus whatever shipping.(NM, you're not saving anything, get one yourself.) Wish they'd make one with an AR-15. LOL, stupid commie AK!My wife apparently passes so these MAGA nuts at her work tell her all sorts of racist tea.
Yeah I really dislike how guys with wrap around sunglasses are painted as Maga. Some of us with bad eyes need that protection from glare :(
How about polarized glasses? I'm on the water a couple of times a week and I do great with $3 wayfarers from the thrift.
Right? I love wraparounds. I’ve started wearing an ally flag pin, maybe that will let me wear the wraparounds without being judged for them. 😅
They’re always in their car in their avatar. I bet a massive super pickup too
Usually because they're in the middle of a messy divorce, and "that bitch took everything." Never their fault of course.
Been through 2 divorces and known many divorced people. LOL, can't think of any where the woman took it all. Seems a problem with some folks though, don't it?
Look, just because I'm balding and wear wrap around glasses doesn't mean I'm conservative. I just don't like the sun shining into the side of my eyes when I'm heading north or south which are the directions I primarily travel in.
Look at these delicious tears.
The regime? Lol, these people still think they are the disenfranchised

Pit, all of em
I'm a bit OOTL here. Did Kendrick Lamar do something at the half time or are they actually upset because he's black.
These two comments sum it:
Both as his show was a celebration of black American culture to some extent. It was great.
Nothing happened. Kendrick played some music and people documented people's disapproval online, screenshotted them for a polarizing article about race.
Since ridiculous racist rhetoric exists SOMEWHERE on the internet, we will never know how the hatred is distributed over the usa population to accurately represent them because we are too dumb to question our newsfeeds. Instead we try to engage meaningfully with what we are fed.
Only blind people didn't like the half time show?
What are they trying to show off with that weird head tilt thing? That their sunglasses aren't broken? Or are they just trying to hide their fat face?
You got it. Hides their double+ chins.
Isn't it just that the phone is either one the top or bottom side of the windshield and they are recording the video while driving, so they don't do a full tilt? It seems like it for several of the images.
That they are cheap AI generated bots, perhaps?
