[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched the stand up special from Ronny Chieng last night and he had a really funny bit about [b]how his MAGA friends are willing to die for America but there not willing to do math homework for America, and what America really needs is more people who are willing to learn the skills for a post-manufacturing economy.[/b]
I’m not doing it justice but it was both funny and very smart.  [/quote]

There's no need to bring politics into this, but since you did... tell us all about the abysmal schools and test scores of urban inner-city kids.  Are they "willing to do their math homework" and "willing to learn the skills for a post-manufacturing economy"?  We'll wait.[/quote]
Of course you bring urban kids in first. The dog whistle is really getting slobber all over it from the people on this forum. Could’ve talked about anyone else.[/quote]

Found someone else who is completely unable to read.  The above post is in response to the PPP - you? - who thought it would be clever to $hit on MAGA in the college forum.  I’ve helpfully bolded the pertinent words for you.  Get a grip.[/quote]

PP is selectively outraged.  So typical.[/quote]
Still makes no sense to make fun of “urban” kids because someone came after your political clique…[/quote]

Oh, ok.  You think it's fine to claim rural white kids are ignorant (and yes, that was exactly the implication), but not at all fine to make the same claim about inner-city kids.  Hypocrite, much?

No one said anything about rural white kids, so I really have no idea what you are talking about. This might be a crazy concept for you, but I don’t believe in shaming kids of any background, because they are kids. Why do “MAGA friends”=rural white kids in your mind? Let’s take away the political affiliation, you thought someone posting on DCUM was talking about their friends as children? I get arguing to argue is fun, but this is nonsensical. [/quote]

Ok, I can see that we'll have to spell this out for you as you're clearly quite dense.  Here's the exact quote - that you had no problem with:

"...how his MAGA friends are willing to die for America but there [i](sic - left in this poster's idiotic misspelling) [/i][b]not willing to do math homework for America[/b], and what America really needs is more people who are willing to learn the skills for a post-manufacturing economy."

The poster is very clearly slamming "MAGA" people in general as being ignorant.  The rebuttal, mentioning inner-city kids, was in direct response to this.  If you had no problem with the MAGA comment, then you should have no problem with the exact same comment about inner-city kids.  Maybe you'd prefer inner-city "people."  Whatever.  [/quote]
