In my experience with conservatives, black athletes broke that barrier a long time ago. The modern version is anything gay - if they see a gay character in a tv show, "everything's gay now".

Do you think they're just confused in football? Like do they not know who's under the helmets? Cuz like 80% of the players are black.
Do you think the ruling class wants to see its own children fight in the coliseum for sport?
Remember when Capernick did that one thing that wasn't football while on camera? The moment do anything that isn't football it becomes woke or DEI.
It's because they are in a performing role. They are token individuals destroying their bodies to create entertainment for the audience. It's no different than how the south treats rodeo as some kind of beacon of equality for black individuals. It's purely a facade to point at when denying the existence of inequality and dismissing civil rights arguments.
It's also directly tied to the myth of the primal black man - all brawn and no brain. A racist sex symbol.
EDIT: typos
EDIT 2: flipped brain and brawn, didn't notice. Fixed.

The best thing to do is not give them an audience.
Bring back calling these people weird!!
Call them sweaty for wanting to control women's bodies. They should be called out every time they do something or support somthing dumb.
They're not weird, they're bad. Weird is not bad.
They like being bad, though. Bad is like Darth Vader.
I think we're mature enough to recognize that weird (quirky) and weird (lingers around children) are different things.
Yeah no, please don't associate weird with bad things more than it already is. Weird people have enough problems already without having to deal with negative wording.
You know you can just not call them weird, right?
Loudly and proudly: Tourette's is normal; it's just a condition you can have, who cares.
With gusto: Mandatory genital checks in the highschool girl's locker room is weird.
Yeah, I can, but others will not. Words are important, do I really have to explain inclusive language on Lemmy?
Yes they will. Conservatives are weird, not whoever you have in mind.
And so conservatives will say that "being the borderzar and opening up the border" is weird—just tell them no. Be confidently unconvinced, they won't win.
"Call them the sweaty" can you explain this phrase to me? Or is it a typo lol
In this context it means being creepy, but it's a generally negative analogy

It doesn't have to be something everyone is watching.. I had twitter for maybe 2 days before deleting it because somehow this fuckin Matt Walsh clown got served up to me. He was crying about how Drew Barrymore had a trans person on her show. He had like 40k likes on it. How the fuck do you make a living looking for things on tv to be mad about, and why is anyone cheering him on. That's deranged. CHANGE THE FUCKIN CHANNEL YOU WORTHLESS STOOGE!

Spoken like you must not be recovering from a childhood in a conservative home, lol.
Finding things to be mad about, is living. It is as natural as breathing. Like breathing, you don’t notice you’re doing it unless you notice you’re doing it. It is what you think about when you plan your day and what makes you open your mouth to socialize with other people. It strongly informs your personality, your social circles, and your hobbies.
Just be careful you don’t accidentally spend years wrenching your brain out of the negativity malaise, or you might start to do dumb things like being content with what you have, working less, wasting time on rewarding hobbies, or doing nice things for people without expecting something in return. People you aren’t even related to! Could you imagine??
Of course up above when I say things to be “mad about,” that could also mean “afraid of or confused about, but I am tough and strong and not scared of things and don’t have wussy feminine emotions and so I’m mad rawr!”
Edit to add: I’m being tough on conservatives because they deserve it, but being addicted to outrage (along with all your favorite psychological biases and logical fallacies) is something that everybody has to be concerned with for themselves.
Yeah, I didn't grow up in a conservative house. I think it's one thing to be a hate filled individual who actually likes that, and a completely other thing to be a clown pushing that as your job. He brings no value into this world.
I would say I deleted Twitter not because it served me straight stupidity. More accurately, it was how mad I got seeing his dumb take and all the idiots cheering him on. I was late to Twitter and now I understood what others had been saying. It's designed to piss you off.
I remember my 80+ year old grandmother getting upset that there was a shot called "Blackish" and not a show called "Whtieish" or whatever. And like... I dunno Brady Bunch, etc?
Friends
Golden Girls
Just about every 70s and 80s sitcom that wasn't Sanford and Son or Good Times.
My mother asked me a similar question some 15 years ago. It was why we didn't have White History Month or White Entertainment Television.
Sadly, I didn't have the ammo to fire back and say something like, "what about March thru January, and maybe all the rest of the television on TV since forever?"
Gilmore Girls

I feel like we should have just ignored these people. Deal with the ones who become problems, but otherwise not dignify their nonsense with a response. "Why is this movie so WOKE?" ... "So anyway the CGI in this movie was pretty bad right? lol."
We spent the last 2 decades feeding the trolls. Making them think they mattered even if it was to be hated or ridiculed by their enemies.
Couldn't agree more. "👀 ...... So anyway..." has got to make people way more self conscious than any argument you can make. Arguing with these people just solidifies their position.

Uhhhh... Nobody is used to that unless they enable racism casually as a hobby
If you roll your eyes and think 'Oh, here they go being racist again' while the news says how what they are saying is 'controversial' or 'could be seen as' or any other dismissive phrasing then that is what the post is talking about. Society refuses to call out their racism directly, which enables it.
I always call out and so does people around me. I am not from America.
