It isn’t just the white supremacists who are mad about Bird Box. No, it turns out that at least one black supremacist has some big problems with the Netflix post-apocalyptic horror hit as well. And his issues with the film are even weirder than theirs.
Some white supremacists are taking aim at Bird Box, as I noted in a recent post, because they think the film — whose most heroic figures are a white women and a black man — is some sort of SJW propaganda designed to denigrate the straight white male.
But the black conspiracy theorist behind the virulently anti-white and anti-Semitic Race Rules blog is angry at the film because he doesn’t think the handsome black hero of the film would really be into “preggo over-the-hill skank Sandra Bullock” who “looks like a damn tr***y.”
Mr. Race Rules starts off by noting that he doesn’t like “race-mixing” in movies because there really is no such thing in the real world. Strap yourself in here, folks, because this is where things start to get really weird. “[T]he so-called races are actually different species,” he writes.
Blacks are the only humans and everyone else are all animal humanoid hybrids or what I call manimals.
And even though Sandra Bullock’s self-sacrificing boyfriend in the film, played by Trevante Rhodes, presumably doesn’t believe that white people are literal “manimals,” Mr. Race Rules still doesn’t believe that “someone as good looking as that brother” would want anything to do with
a pregnant, pale, curveless, pig-nose beast like Sandra Bullock in real life … Black men that are attractive rarely go after skanks unless they have been hurt by black women, they are drunk or high or just goddamn brainwashed to fuck manimal bitches for some reason like porn.
Love that he manages to blame black women for what he sees as Rhodes’ poor romantic choice. Weird how dudes who rail against the alleged evils of white women — regardless of their own race or political views — almost always seem to hate black women at least as much, if not more.
Mr. Race Rules is also annoyed that Rhodes’ character turns out to be what today’s white supremacists would call a cuck — raising kids fathered by men of a different race. Sorry, species.
To make matters worse the dumb ass nigga was going to be raising two white kids with a white woman as a black man. What the fuck is that? Reverse reparations?!?!? I’ll never take care of some white bastard kid. She didn’t even want them herself just like most white females who always pretend to love their kids. Ain’t buyin’ it. White females are full of shit…..literally and figuratively.
Despite the much-discussed diversity of the Bird Box cast of main characters, there are no black women in roles more prominent than “Woman in Entryway.” Mr. Race Rules thinks he knows why.
“Did anyone notice this one last very important thing?!?!?” he asks.
NO BLACK WOMEN!!!!!!! That was no fucking accident. The elite worship the black woman. It is their doorway to the future through the black womb since pinkazoids are all dying out….much of it from their own compulsive self-extermination.
Wat.
They never want to disrespect the black womb-man too much on the big screen because they know where we all come from. There’s no problem slaughtering and incarcerating record numbers of black and Latino males but they have to protect the black womb to ensure their genetic future for now. Most black females still don’t get it. Once the manimals get what they need from you….YOU’RE DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Just FYI, black “females!”
But Mr. Race Rules’ theories about white manimals and black womb-men aren’t even the weirdest part of his, er, review of Bird Box. No, that honor has to go to his discussion of “falcon Heru the Hero.” Who, you ask? Let’s let him, er, explain:
The movie had a few interpretations as far as I could see with my 3rd eye partially open. One is the blind fold was blinding the pineal gland showing how everyone is really unconscious these days from all the poison and brainwashing. Second the bird box (B+B=2+2=22+Master Builder) showed how the falcon Heru the Hero is actually being held in a box or this Matrix and keeping his 3rd eye (really 1st eye) from awakening by the parasitic elite and their minions using light-bending technology to prevent the light code frequencies from returning through our ancestors.
Okey dokey then.
For a little context: Heru is another name for the falcon-headed Egyptian god Horus, and is apparently a major part of the esoteric conspiracy theories that Mr. Race Rules and a number of other similar theorists espouse. But I haven’t looked into the details of this yet, because my poor brain has already been taxed enough for one day, and I suspect that now yours has been as well.

Alright so the first one went through. Anyone else need a kitten to look at?
(Itty bitty kitty committee)
And the lovely miss Wylla Stout:
(Itty bitty kitty committee)
Sorry for double posting
@andThyme, I am so sorry. Wish I had the words to say it properly.
Oh gosh @andThyme, that is a rough story. I’m so sorry. I’m glad it has mellowed, and I hope it continues to <3
@andThyme
I’m sorry you had to go through that, and I’m sorry if this thread brought up bad memories for you. I wish you all the comfort and healing.
Thyme, I’m very sorry for what happened to you. That is absolutely horrifying and I’m so glad you have been able to find at least some healing. I’m sorry if this gave you any bad memories that was definitely not my intent to bring up bad memories for anybody.
Okay I feel like this has become kind of like a very few people are purposely trying to see the worst possible interpretation of what I’m saying. My literal first paragraph says I think anyone who needs an abortion should be able to go to an abortion clinic and get one for any reason. No muss, no fuss no hoops to jump through, their body their business. I literally made that exact statement, how does that equate to judgement?
Have people forgotten I was referring to my mother’s views previously? Anyone can look at my comment history and see that I say over and over again whatever you want to do that does not harm or have negative effects for anyone else go right ahead. Your life your business. I don’t care what it is sex, abortions, drugs, whatever. It doesn’t matter cuz it’s not my business.
My entire moral standpoint is don’t hurt people. That is all, do whatever the hell you please and it’s no one’s business and I have said this over and over and over again over the years in the comments here. Where do people get me judging people from anything I said? I don’t even like to make decisions for myself let alone other people that’s one of the myriad reasons I gravitated towards submission in BDSM.
I honestly don’t understand how what I said conveys judgment. Where do I say or even imply a pregnant person does not have the right at any time to terminate their pregnancy for any reason? It feels like people are just projecting things onto me at this point cuz I never said anything like that. I’ve spoken very little about my personal views in this thread I’ve been speaking about my mother’s. If people are going to claim I’m judging people please make one of those little box quotes to show me where I am judging people. I also specifically stated that this is my personal opinion and it seems easier to me and it is what I do and anyone else’s opinion is obviously equally valid. I never definitively made a value judgement as some people have claimed.
I said in my personal opinion that it is easier(I also never said easy as some claimed. I said, and this is probably influenced by living in NYC and upper middle class privilege, easier.)to prevent it than fix it after its done. Which honestly I feel is true about pretty much everything in life. Preventing something is generally just more efficient and less difficult and time consuming than fixing it after the fact in almost every case I can think of I honestly can’t think of something off the top of my head where that is not the case. Why is that a controversial thing to say or a judgemental thing to say when I explicitly state it is my personal opinion, no more or less valid than any other.
I hate going to the doctor for a checkup and in that case, there’s not a moderate chance of being spit on and or being called crude vulgar slurs. Going with people for moral support was personally psychologically intense and unpleasant, I imagine going for myself would be even more difficult. That is my personal opinion and I’m not trying to force it on people or claim it is more valid than any other what is controversial about that opinion? It feels to me although again I’m not going to say what people’s motivations and thoughts and feelings are because that offended me so of course I wouldn’t do it to others. But I personally feel that a very few people at this point are just trying to see my statements in the worst light
At this point I’m truly just feeling like some people are just looking to find problems with what I’m saying whether they’re there or not. A number of people seem to doubt my sincerity and I honestly don’t know why. What do the people who claim I am judging people and not acting in good faith think I’m trying to because now I’m very curious about that? People have also said I’m trying to guilt trip people here? Why in God’s name would I do such a thing? How could that possibly benefit me in any way or accomplished anything at all?
I find it disturbing that even though I distinctly said I was wrong about at least 80% of things I stated in the initial thread and apologize sincerely and repeatedly for unintentionally upsetting and or offending anybody that some few people still seem to claim that I don’t want to learn anything. If that’s what you believe what do you think I’m trying to do truly? Why is it so impossible to accept my words at face value instead of trying to parse them for weird motives?
Possibly that’s just me being insecure or anxious but that’s truly what it feels like because you can literally go back in my comment history and see me say it over and over again how I don’t even like to make my own decisions for myself that’s what my darling boyfriend is for LOL. Judging other people is way too much time and work and effort for what.
Thank you pagan reader for those statistics, looking at those it does seem like maybe I’ve been particularly lucky. I have never gotten pregnant and I’ve used the pill and condoms and been incredibly promiscuous at times. I did not know the failure rates were that high for correct usage.
Can someone please tell me exactly where I am judging anyone by saying it is easier in my personal experience specific and any other opinion is just as valid? It seems like some people are cherry picking portions of my comments to make them sound as bad as possible. Why would you do that? I truly don’t see anything I said that judges anybody because I’m not judging anybody. Someone just decided that. Wouldn’t I know better than anyone else whether I am judging people? It’s not sarcasm or snark. I don’t understand why people can’t take my words at face value. All I wanted was to understand why people with equating my mom wigs forced birther anti-abortion fanatics the people who literally spat on me and verbally abused me.
Okay let me try to make this as basic as I possibly can because it this point I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything I just want people to see where I am coming from or at least was coming from. My mother would never dream of doing such a thing. Taking horrible actions against people is definitely at least in my opinion than having some ignorant beliefs so therefore it felt unjust that people were equating my mom to such people.
Now since people have explained why the term itself holds such power I guess the word is I was starting to comprehend it and then people just started telling me I was lying and being a troll and all sorts of stuff and that completely confused me again.
Anyway the train is here let me get on it. At this point I’m very grateful to the people who helped me learn about what pregnancy actually entails and a number of other things like Pagan reader for giving me those statistics but at this point it seems like I’m just not going to understand this. I guess that’s just how life works you can’t understand everything.
Katie,
Is there some reason you are ignoring the advice others have given you about to communicate on this issue?
Seriously. Would you at least address it in some capacity? Even if it’s to disagree. At this point, why should anyone care about your feelings when you are going out of your way to ignore us when we give you pointers on how to discuss sensitive topics without causing animosity? If you don’t answer me, I might have to change my mind and think maybe you are a troll. Or at least someone who likes to cause conflict.
Katie, I told you what i needed to be able to answer you. If you can’t manage point form, give me a couple of tl;dr sentences that summarise your points.
You ask for people to point out where you make it a value judgement. We have. You ask for quotes. We used them, though you have never, even when i asked for just copying and pasting with quotation marks.
I don’t have time to parse through a very long post that says (within it) both the same things you have said before and repeating something again and again internally. (people say i am a troll, i am not look at my comment history. I never gave a value judgement. I am hurt. I am confused.)
Throughout this entire discussion, you have very rarely engaged with specific things we say. We don’t know how to explain things, because you never tells us what resonates.
I want you to understand why holding an opinion shapes how you interact with the world.
I want you to understand how you could hold an opinion like “abortion should be easy to get” and also “some people are just too lazy. They can get one, but they should have been more responsible with easier choices in the first place”, which is rather pro-life. Humans are full of biases and contradictions, you just found one of your own.
But i told you what i needed from you, and didn’t get it.
I won’t engage with what i divine are your questions until you help me out here. You want to understand, i need you to BE CLEAR.
Well, now you ARE lying, or at least making misleading statements. You share your mother’s “last resort” view, by your own admission. From last page:
If you yourself didn’t feel this way, then obviously you would not believe that everyone felt like this.
We have already addressed why this stance is shitty and judgemental. I’m not going to repeat myself again. Go scroll up and read the previous posts if you’re still confused.
And this sentiment here is why I said I didn’t think that you were here to learn. We have provided you, again and again, with facts and in some cases very personal and harrowing stories to show you just how toxic and damaging the pro-life movement is.
But because some people here were insufficiently nice to you, suddenly all those facts are impossible to understand again? As if politeness is the deciding factor in what is true?
Because it keeps the conversation where you want it, centered on your emotional state. You don’t like it when people disagree with you, so you say that your feelings are hurt. When you’re objectively wrong on something, you complain that the person who told you that you were wrong wasn’t nice enough. When you state “pro-life” opinions and get called on them, you plead the purity of your intentions. In other words, you want you feelings to be more important that what’s being discussed.
It’s manipulative. It’s wearing thin even for the people who were originally willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.
In fairness to Katie, I think whatever she’s using to comment here is saddling her with major technical limitations that might make responding with bullet points difficult, to say nothing of doing any significant editing. She said at one point she was using speech-to-text. I’m not entirely sure why but it could be crummy hardware, maybe a phone with a small screen and a piss-poor keyboard capability.
This, of course, only would explain the formatting/communication difficulties, and not the other points of disagreement evident here.
@Surplus
No ome is asking her to add literal bullet points. They’re asking for succinct wording, which can be done from any device that you can create large walls of text from.
What is point form? I’m sorry I honestly don’t remember exactly what that means. Apparently it’s more important than I thought and I’m sorry cuz people keep saying that. I thought you just meant like a list and I separated it into paragraphs instead of a giant wall of text I thought that’s what you meant I’m sorry. Now I get it
Like this, Katie.
-i don’t understand how my mom calling herself pro-life has a consequence.
-i liked X article, but i didn’t understand Y part of it.
-when you said “quote quote quote” to me (you can paraphrase, if you have to, just say who you are replying to) i understood X but not Y.
Short, tl;dr summaries that let us know where you are. Trust us, we know you are upset. you don’t need to tell us. And if you do, go “i am still upset” and leave it at that.
Yes I sort of got mugged and my phone got broken a little more than a month ago so my current phone the screen is f****** tiny as s*** cuz I got a really cheap $50 phone to last till my upgrade in a few months because it would be silly spend a few hundred dollars on a phone now when in April I’ll be able to get an upgrade with my plan.
I am so sorry. I thought people didn’t understand because I wasn’t being concise and I can’t help not being concise. Honestly anyone who has seen me come in here for years you must have noticed this. It has nothing to do with this topic that’s just always how I comment.
Now I totally understand what you’re asking for and I will do so. I am so sorry because the people who are asking me to do this or the people who have been the most understanding I truly did not understand what you were asking me to do. I just Googled Point form LOL
Hippodameia: you know what, I’m not doing that on purpose but when you explain it like that I can see where you’re coming from and okay it is definitely possible that I’m doing that unconsciously. And even if not I can see how someone could see it that way.
Fair enough. I will try my best to stop doing that although like I said if I’m doing it it’s unconscious so I don’t know if I will be successful.
Does that convince you my intentions are at least good even though my manner of phrasing or speech has been very poorly chosen a number of times? Because what I’m about to say now I’m not trying to make you feel guilty I swear, but you’ve been here for a long time so you’ve seen me comment for a while. That’s why it’s kind of upsetting that you honestly seem to think I am doing something on purpose to upset people here.
@Katie
I’ll give an example of bullet points using a couple of your paragraphs. When creating bullet points you pull out just the condensed version of your point or question, so it’s difficult for me to make a list for you because it’s hard for me to know what the most important part is to you, but I’ll try my best.
You said,
Here’s a crack at a bullet list version:
– My entire moral standpoint is don’t hurt people.
– Where do people get me judging people from anything I said?
– Where do I say or even imply a pregnant person does not have the right at any time to terminate their pregnancy for any reason?
Something along those lines. You can leave out the hyphens if they’re hard for you to make and just use paragraphs between points instead. Bullet points shouldn’t ne more than a sentence or two.
Your posts are hard to read because they repeat a lot of information and the actual point you’re making or question you’re asking gets lost, and that’s the reason people are requesting this, so keep that in mind when creating bullet points.
Thank you very much Kupo. That is very helpful, you seem to have the gift for being concise that I lack LOL. Now I understand exactly what is being asked for and that is what I will do in my next comment. I’ll be home early(for me at least LOL between one and two am East Coast time) and I will do it exactly like you explained it.
That actually seems like a good way to make things concise. I can use my dictation and then cut it down into bullet points
@Katie
Ha, I had a run on sentence in there, so I’m not always concise! Really it comes down to getting it out, then going back and editing. And it’s a skill that takes lots of practice, which I learned when I had a boss who was completely enamored with bullet points. ?
KatieKitten,
I don’t feel guilty at all. I’m not responsible for the fact that you feel upset.
Intent is not magic. If you want the benefit of the doubt and the assumption of good faith, you need to start listening to what people have been telling you for the last five pages and addressing what they’ve been saying.
I think it is incredibly apparent I only edit extreme typos and mistakes. Like up till this point I honestly did not realize it made comprehension that much harder for some people, maybe most people, judging from the comments.
Probably the reason it doesn’t or at least doesn’t seem to affect my comprehension it’s because I do it constantly myself therefore I can parse it when other people do it.
But that is unfair to ask other people to pars my particular way of speaking if it’s actually impeding people’s comprehension. Especially given that no one is obligated to educate me, I’m asking for a moderately large favor.
Thank you so much for the help but the reason I’ve been commenting off until the last half-hour is I was waiting for someone and the person I was waiting for is here so let me take care of this and then I can get home out of this cold Icy weather in NYC.
I didn’t say you feel guilty. I said you seem to think I’m trying to make you and others feel guilty. Like you think that is my intention to do so. I’m sorry that was unclear. I’m not claiming my intentions are magic. I’m claiming and I am aware that this is a point of contention among liberals that intent does matter. Of course actions matter more it would be silly to say otherwise. But I would definitely rather someone intended to do good then intended to do bad. Maybe that’s naive but that’s how I feel
I believe it matters because someone truly has good intentions but is honestly ignorant they can be educated and informed and that’s good for everybody. I believe this because I’ve done it regarding racial matters a number of times. For example the girl I met at NYU from a town of less than 5,000 people who only had spoken to at that point in her life two black people ever and literally never met a black person of her generation. She was full of ridiculous stereotypes and ignorance because almost all she had seen was black people in TV and movies. And in the long run she turned out to be totally awesome and we became friends.
All I’m asking is can you at least give me the benefit of the doubt because okay when you phrase it like that I can see how someone could think that was my intention. But it isnt and it’s good you don’t feel guilty because you shouldn’t and neither should anyone else because they have nothing to feel guilty for LOL
If you want the benefit of the doubt you need to start listening to what’s been said in this thread, and you need to address the issues raised.
Intent does matter, but only so far in that if someone is unintentionally hurtful, then it is assumed that they will cease to do the hurtful thing upon being informed that it is hurtful.
If someone continues to be hurtful, even after being informed that it is hurtful, all the while claiming that they do not intend to be hurtful, then intent doesn’t count for diddly-squat.
What Hippodameia said. I’m just being straight up ignored now.
I guess that means Katie wants me to perceive her as a troll.
