Well you can thank the media for the nuclear apocalypse concern/border-line hysteria. I can't pull up a news outlet website without nuclear drama being the top story or people from Cali to BOSTON(WTF!) trying to get those iodine-thyroid blocking radiation pills. Do these people understand the concept of NUCLEAR TESTING and the fact that hundreds of nuclear (atmospheric even) detonations have taken place from Nevada to India since the 1940s? The west coast didn't suffer from radiation fallout after we dropped TWO atomic bombs in Japan right?

- Thank God Chernobyl happened before the internets and the 24 hour news cycle.

Hardly.

Race is irrelevent and disgusting to me. There is nothing to be proud of with concerns to race.

We know you're classist, you don't have to remind us about how you hate the icky people at Walmart. Newsflash, it's not somehow 'better' than being racist.

Yeah I've always hated the terms "white trash" and "trailer trash." Very stupid and classist labels that are based on the premise of white privilege. You're either just like the "good white folks" or you're "trash."

I'm baffled that someone would respond to "no trash" with "looks like trash to me." People are not trash.

As for Walmart, cringe, it's on the same level of the horrendousness of facebook. Not because of the people who shop there but because Walmart has taken over, like facebook has, and it's the epitome of ridiculous consumerism under capitalism. I'll end anti-Walmart/anti-facebook rant there. Cringe.

I get why some people don't like Walmart as a business, but I rarely see that criticism without some pretty disgusting examples of classism along with it. It kind of taints the relatively good points that people have. That said, I'm pretty impressed by some of the changes Walmart's made, it doesn't erase that they're taking over, but it can have positive effects too.

And I agree, people are not trash. I hate the phrases "classy" and "trashy" for the same reason. They really just mean "behaving in a way I approve of" and "behaving in a way that I think beneath me."

It's too collectivist for me.

^^ No, it's what happens when you have a culture that values others before themselves.

Or, just a culture that is prepared for earthquakes.

Happy Black History Month.


Welcome to America.
Yes, welcome to America where whites (across ethnicities and cultures) are over 40% of the total population. How did all of those white folks let the minorities jack things up so much? Ice Cube and the Lynch Mob and we're jackin' 4 beats.
