In this somewhat belated edition of Today in Breitbart Comments, let’s take a look at what Breitbarters are saying in response to a post titled “Despite ‘Mall Brawls,’ NAACP Calls Mall’s Curfew Discriminatory.”
As you might imagine, the discussion gets very ugly very quickly.
And then, though it hardly seems possible, it gets worse:
But take heart! Not every Breitbart reader thinks it’s a good idea to start shooting people whenever you run across more than one black person in a public place. Because you might accidentally shoot a white person.
It’s possible that the discussion got even uglier than this, but I gave up reading the comments at this point.
REMINDER: This is the audience that Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s campaign CEO, cultivated for many years as the head cheese of Breitbart — and that Trump was presumably hoping to appeal to by hiring Bannon to run his campaign. These are the people whom Trump is empowering and emboldening.
I… just… there are no words. There is only *headdesk*. So much *headdesk*.
David, you’re welcome to crash in the great land Down Under with me! We have much more reasonable gun laws here than the US. No racists with open carry licenses here! Just, y’know, garden variety racists instead – but unarmed ones.

White men encourage each other’s violent fantasies while telling each other black people are “savage”.

@Chiomara
Don’t forget the corn cobs and butter!
Oh, I see. So when I’m at the mall, I am supposed to be afraid of some random, unarmed black person, who’s just there to shop. But I’m not supposed to be afraid of that white guy walking around with an assault rifle living some sort of Judge Dredd fantasy and just itching for any black person to give them an excuse.
Makes sense.
For Europeans this whole US Gunzo culture is beyond comprehension.
100 %.
Seconding that too. 110 %. Must be soul destroying wading through these open Tinkernet sewers for such an amount of time.
@Monster-Teeth
Welcome! Since you’ve been lurking I’m sure you’ve already seen the welcome package, but if not please enjoy some scented fucking candles.
@IP
I don’t have any evidence of that, but I have the impression he can eat a whole one in one minute.
David, I’m in Canada. We have JudgeyBitch up here. And Girl Writes What.
But you’re welcome here just the same! I have a pullout couch while you get settled.
It’s a difficult call but i think the Briefart comment section might actually be worse than Returno Kings… ‘lower-order humans’, ‘savages’??? What the actual fuck? And these real people with real thoughts like this…no wonder you couldn’t finish reading… ?
“For safety, self-segregate.” Finally, something we can all agree on!
I recommend a nice glare-free ice floe so you don’t accidentally catch a glimpse of a “lower-order human”.
I don’t know; seems like the savages brought their own weapons to the mall in Waco last year.
Oh, wait! That doesn’t count, because white biker gangs aren’t savages!
Silly me…
@ valentine
Totally O/T but you might be able to assist. The Ukranine ambassador was on the radio the other day and she pronounces the name as Ukrain*IA*. Is that how you properly say it?
“GENETICALLY INTACT” ????!!!
The firearms kept here at Pavlov’s House, though certainly functional, are principally for historical interest. We do enjoy going to the range but, alas work has not allowed that in many a moon. So alas they wait preserved in their Cosmoline. For the sake of having a little extra security we actually keep the bolt assembly of each weapon (they’re all rifles) separately secured. NATURALLY the favorite is our M1894 Moisin-Nagant (given our habitual Russophilia). We at Pavlov’s House don’t condone violence and are sensitive to the societal problems or firearms-related crimes but do not agree with absolute “gun-bans” or the most extreme gun control positions. Collectors whose interest is historical and cultural need not be seen as a threat whose firearms must be taken.
@Alan Robertshaw
I know the question isn’t addressed to me so I hope you won’t mind. 🙂 “Ukraina” is the way the country’s name is pronounced in a number of Slavonic and other Eastern and Northern European languages, including Russian and Ukrainian itself. So I guess it’s the “proper” way of pronouncing it, depending on your point of view.
@ monzach
Not at all, I’m grateful for the info. I usually think it’s polite to go with the ‘home’ pronunciation as it were, like Mumbai or Beijing (or at least in those cases attempt to anyway) so it’s good to know.
I draw the line at Paree though.
@Alan
Let nobody say stereotypes are based on nothing…
@ Axe
🙂
But Paris was settled by people from Yorkshire so I think it’s right to go with our pronunciation.

@Alan
I knew a kid in high school who had the same idea and that did not last because it turns out, like, every country ever has a completely different name or pronunciation. Japan for instance is Nihon and Nippon. It’s gonna take a lot of commitment and miscommunication to stick that out.
Does anyone remember when Andrew Breitbart tried arguing he totally wasn’t racist because he masturbated over a Latina?
I do, unfortunately…
To quote a character from Mark Waid’s Incorruptible: “a racist with a hard-on is still a racist.”
@ handsome jack
It is a fascinating topic though. A combination of linguistic history and politics. Ironically Americans did recognise the proper name for Japan in WW2 but they turned it into a racist slur (which I won’t repeat).
I do find it useful to use ‘local’ names though when I’m doing international stuff. So many many countries have their own individual names for other countries that it helps to use the proper name to avoid confusion.
These people WANT to live in a fascist dystopia. What kind of world would it be if we just let people kill eachother?
Many people of Hellenic descent (including me) say in English “Hellenic” rather than “Greek” when referring to the ethnicity or culture….but not the language. It’s inconsistent. We’re Greek-Americans but we go to an event at the local Hellenic Community Center. (?) ….not sure why the English-language terminology evolved that way.
But, yeah, we got that whole Mediterranean + North European (I’m part Anglo as well as Hellenic) + Slavic (the lovely Ms.) thing goin’ here….so I guess we’re white but we ain’t no damned Fascists!!!
lkeke35 In the very scary confines of a White Supremacist’s brain, (here be monsters a plenty) PoC can transmogrify into any possible kind of hated object. PoC are shape-shifters of the most powerful kind. Accept your role and take up to wearing a full Morning Frock, stove pipe hat, opera cape and run around rubbing your hands and going “Moo-ha-ha to” any melanin deprived person you run across. Do not go tying white folks to rail road tracks because that crap takes forever to achieve results. Your victim will die of old age before that freight train rolls down the track.
