Inhuman fuck. Take your fame and fortune and go fuck off in a castle with jk Rowling.

Garbage. Fucking. Human.

If you can target marginalized humans, MAKE FAME AND FORTUNE OFF OF THAT, you can target any human. You're no better than any other bigot or racist. You showed your colors. Fuck right off.

Isn't black absorbing all colore

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, black in colour-theory is technically a lack of colour, and white is the most colourful, as it's a combination of all colours (or at least red, green and blue).

Skin colours are weird. I'm not white - I'm like a peach colour. But it is what it is, and I've not found better names, without sounding like a pedantic asshole.

yes, get mad at the comedian that has made an entire career on racist jokes and tropes.

it was funny when it wasn't about you, but now it's just a bridge too far.

not supporting him, but certainly pointing out the hypocrisy in drawing attention to his behavior now after 35+ years of allowing him fame and fortune.
