Yet THEY (code word: angry) have all chimed in. You can't make this shit up.

Whats wrong with angry white people?

If Julie is picking up shifts as a primer to get her in a daypart shift, this book and the one coming up next month (I don't doubt it will be just as bad) should cause Mitch to cancel those plans immediately.

February was far enough removed from the Boers retirement that this book is squarely on the shoulders of the talent on the air, the lineup of which is largely the same relative to what it was this time last year (when they did a 3.6 and were beating WMVP in the key demo), with Parkins being the only new face. The SJW routine needs to be reigned in to bring back listeners when the Cubs aren't playing, adding Julie will only exacerbate the problems we now see.

That group of people is just as lousy as the SJW movement on the internet. They're actually extremely similar and it's a shame that neither side realizes it. The BadRogue's and JLN's of the world have more in common with Julie DiCaro than the entire score roster.

"You say political lobbying is detracting from a truly representative government. You have called legislators to seek an audience with them in an effort to push through anti-lobbying legislation. Do you not realize that is lobbying?!"

Bastardized logic from an 8th grader.

Besides electing a Soviet tool for President? Nothing.

Kind of ironic, isn't it?

There is a difference between injecting social/political speech to topics like with sports or regional pop culture brotalk and demanding, as a consumer, that social/political speech be left out of those arenas. I dont necessarily see complaints about DiCaro or the B&G show as necessarily taking the anti to social justice (sometimes they are), just an exasperation with that type of language. The whole "stuff white people like lol!" humor originated almost 10 years ago now with that dumb blog, and the giant pile of uninspired, derivative humor that came from it is beyond stale and now actively irritating to anyone who isn't just playing catchup to the cultural zeitgeist of 2010.

Once upon a time it was funny to make fun of white people rage, which was kind of a way at poking fun at those not self aware enough to realize the developing shadow-world on the internet would make fun of anybody who seemed like an old fashioned stick in the mud amidst the euphoria of first-term Obama. That's over now though, and when you just accuse people of being racist (but these time in a more serious tone) its a to a desensitized audience that isn't as interested in groveling for your approval as it was then.

Douchebag, your response ?

Um... I tend to think you will never yield to the apt comparison of you and the extreme SJWs of the world. It does ruffle your feathers a bit, so I must have hit a nerve.

Also, arguing without analogies is a skill. Anyone can use analogies to twist an otherwise losing argument to their side without actually making a point at all.

Idk where you have been, but making fun of stuff white people like humor has been around for a lot longer than 10 years. You seem out of touch.

The internet has just been completely ruined by both sides, with both sides possessing all the same personality traits.

In the pre-internet age, all these dumb stories like the Emmett Till painting story posted today, or whatever Julie DiCaro is eating her 2nd lunch over would just be laughed at or ignored 20+ years ago. Now with the internet, any person with a keyboard or phone has a voice and every story is "OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING!". These losers that would have been recluses before the internet now clog up facebook/twitter/blogs/or whatever site you want to mention.

The internet is for porn and sports statistics. Thanks for ruining a once great thing BadRogue and Julie DiCaro.

Stuff White People Like is just about ten years old now. I browsed the book a few months ago. Man alive did it age poorly. It wasn't even funny then.

You've made no substantive comparison other than to say we are similar. What are the similarities you see, besides the obvious ones (human, breathing, two eyes, consciousness, etc.)?



This is a message board. People respond to others. Not every response to you is validation of your laser-precise barbs rattling someone to their very core.



Make a substantive point and I'll respond, then. "Hurr durr, you're actually the same" is not a substantive point, as I have made clear via...an analogy to middle school debate tactics.

n-n-no you're the o-one that's out of t-touch ya BIG MEANIE

I'm thinking he meant the humor in general making fun of stuff white people like. I do think America's first exposure to that type of humor was probably that blog.

It's ok to laugh about it, if it's done well. Same with most racial jokes. It's like the difference between Chappelle and Carlos Mencia.

Wouldn't getting upset about the social injustice of laughing at white people make you some kind of.... Hmm... Can't think of the term of use.

There is some truth in this, but I would argue that the push back against Bernstein and JDC is not so much anti-SJW (I would argue the alt-right is like SJWs though). The push back against them is more of a we want our sports radio to be sports radio and our political radio to be political radio. We tune into one and not the other for a reason.

If I wanted politics I'd be listening to Rush or some Daily Kos podcast instead of Kap.

Yellow journalism has been around a lot longer than the internet, so has people freaking out about meaningless shit. If you want to lament the fact that everything people do is willingly recorded (doing the NSA's job for them...) by some rube on his phone standing there like an idiot I'm right there with you, but this is an empty complaint. I'm sorry your safe space was violated.

It's superficial at best. The point of the thread is that the Score's current voice is neither entertaining nor productive. The numbers bear that out, and you are left shouting- angry whites!

Racial stereotyping is ignorant regardless of race. And if you start creating all of these special rules and exceptions you are going to find yourself in a moral and logical mess.

Now we're making strides here. I agree with you. The problem is this specific political news cycle of the last 2 years has infected every damn thing in the country.

ImO you lose when you pick a side, and take it to the Nth degree. There are no winners for either extreme of the far right or far left. You lose when you're reduced to this or that thinking. The whole embrace debate bullshit on ESPN and FS1 totally fuels the fire as well.

SJW Radio sucks.

Lit as in literature, though Gorsuch actually seems like neither.

Apparently, reading DFW and Philip Roth is bad now. In fact, no one should read anything. Just listen to the Hamilton soundtrack.
