Yeah, I don't give a **** about whatever goofy definition they have for "racism", cause the people who say that **** are often still hateful pricks the world would be better off without.

It appears that that is the trendy definition of racism from shit like Tumblr. Racism is defined in racially neutral terms under British law, so it's wrong whatever way you look at it.

And she is actually white.

I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender.

With a name like Bahar Mustafa wouldn't she be some kind of Middle Easterner? Which would make her a minority. Unless she's just one of the goofy crackers who converts to Islam and then changes their name for no apparent reason. She does look whiter than rice cakes in that pic.

Gotta love the hypocrisy from the tumblr brand of whatever the fuck the people that use that website for that purpose spout. Especially when it comes to stupid things like cultural appropriation.

I'd rather not smoke up with someone who calls the cops on himself.

Reminds me of this story that happened a few years ago in a suburb of Houston - except in this incident the cops responding to a call ate some of the evidence:

Quote:

The cops knocked on the door of the unit rented by Nicholas Charles Hill, 19, and were invited in. Once inside, police said they saw a small group of people standing around a bong. Hill was reportedly holding "a very large bag" of marijuana and had another, smaller one in his lap. Hill admitted he was a pot dealer, and that he'd just had a delivery earlier that day, if police are to be believed.

Three other individuals in the apartment were allegedly in possession of drugs, and a sweep of the place turned up two shotguns, some psilocybin mushrooms, about $940 cash, some more marijuana, and numerous bongs and pipes.

But what the police report doesn't mention is a tray of pot brownies that Hill said the cops seized and ate right in front of him and his fellow suspects.

"The other cop came into the bedroom with a tray of brownies and immediately assumed that there was pot or something in it by asking, 'Let me guess what's in this,' " Hill said.

It still would have been Hill's word against the cops', if the boys in blue hadn't made a fundamental mistake at this point: Hill told his lawyer, Daniel Cahill, that the cops got on their in-car computers and started bragging about how stoned they were.

Inevitably and hilariously, local reporter Ted Oberg at KTRK got his hands on the transcripts.

At 2:44 a.m., one officer typed to the other online: "So HIGH... Good munchies"

The other typed back, "Everything should be open when we get done."

First officer: "Two hours, max."

Second officer: "Probably, but this will take the whole shift."

Because, of course, there's absolutely no way to keep that from happening.

The story said he was with friends, so clearly he managed to call the cops without alerting them. Do you really wanna take that chance?

I didn't read that part and thought he was alone, but still, sure why not. It wouldn't happen again.

Does anybody remember when I posted about the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last year? That they couldn't afford a fireworks display so were just going to demolish some flats?

Quote:

Built in the 1960s, the high-rise flats have attracted plenty of controversy in recent years - and plans to demolish them as part of the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games in 2014 were eventually dropped.
They can't even get that right ffs :D

I remember showing that one to my friend when it first came out last summer. (It was last summer, right?)

There's another one, which is even better, about the University of California, but I can't find it on YouTube.
