On 5 August 1976, Clapton provoked an uproar and lingering controversy when he spoke out against increasing immigration during a concert in Birmingham. Visibly intoxicated, Clapton voiced his support of controversial political candidate Enoch Powell, and announced on stage that Britain was in danger of becoming a "black colony". Among other things, Clapton said "Keep Britain white!"[151] which was at the time a National Front (NF) slogan.[152][153]

This incident, along with some controversial remarks made around the same time by David Bowie, as well as uses of Nazi-related imagery by Sid Vicious and Siouxsie Sioux, were the main catalysts for the creation of Rock Against Racism, with a concert on 30 April 1978.[154]

In response to the comments, rock photographer Red Saunders and others published an open letter in NME, Melody Maker, Sounds, and the Socialist Worker. It read "Come on Eric... Own up. Half your music is black. You're rock music's biggest colonist". It concluded, "P.S. Who shot the Sheriff, Eric? It sure as hell wasn't you!"[154]

In an interview from October 1976 with Sounds magazine, Clapton said that he was not a political person and that his rambling remarks that night were not appropriate.[155]

Good on Maddow's for this.

She's doing legit reporting. It may not slay a dragon, but it keeps the momentum going.

Releasing a response to a report that hasn't aired yet. Astonishing, and suggestive.

They're scared about something at least. That's a dramatic fucking reaction.

Everybody in the White House is watching Rachel Maddow right now

Dying at people watching Maddow for the first time and not knowing she always opens with 10 minutes of historical context

I think the allure is not that there are major secrets left to be unearthed, its that there is a sense amongst many on the left(and probably a hidden fear by some on the right) that there is some smoking gun proof of various things many suspect is true based on the numerous pieces of circumstantial evidence, bizarre behavior or sketchy sourcing already present.

I also don't think anyone knows anything about Watergate other than something something Deep Throat something something Woodward and Bernstein something something Nixon resigned.

The main thing they should know being the fact that Deep Throat was the second in command of the freakin' FBI.

Why they aren't running a ticker counting the number of golf games he plays juxtaposed with his tweets criticizing Obama is beyond me. Actually fuck it, every time he does something just hit him saying Obama did it better, he will become furious. You need to fight in the mud, this "when they go low we go high" shit doesn't work against Trump.

[agrajag]

Entertainment/Personality-styled news is trash on both sides of the spectrum, you might as well get your politics from Seventeen.

 Notice how rambling and filling time was called "painting a picture" and "creating context" by Twitter/GAF when... there was no context. It's just bringing up old shit that's already been reported on to make you think their stories of the night might *actually* amount to something this one time.

 I mean, they're good for Alex Jones/Fox News/Tomy Lahren/CNN cringe compilations, but news is better when it's plain and direct. Quotes, statistics/analysis from trusted sources, first-hand accounts etc.

You don't get it. This is what REAL JOURNALISM looks like 

[benjipwns]

Why get so worked up over anything on cable news? I'm glad that PBS Newshour has picked up ratings and hope it continues to do well. IMO the best news on tv you can watch is available over the air and free to everyone.

PBS, NPR, WaPo, NYT and poliGAF are the best.

that living outside the bubble

[Trurl]

I considered myself a conservative as a teenager and I found my way to a crazy conservative chatroom.  The moderation banned people for showing the slightest sign of liberalism and it bothered me even though I disagreed vehemently with Democrats at the time; being in an echo chamber is boring.  Eventually I was banned because I posted a story about American casualties happening during the early months of the Iraq War.  It was just a chatroom but as a kid it was a formative experience.

Later on I found liberal places to be more open, but that time is ending.  More and more me comrades on the left remind me of that first chatroom that I went to.  It feels like that final scene in Animal Farm where the pigs are standing on their hind legs.

[FreeNudeLyleLanley]

Anyone who legitimately gets worked up at the idea of a joke holiday like steak and BJ day needs to reconsider some things in their lives.

I know it's meant as a joke, but it's a terrible and upsetting one. It reinforces the idea that women are hopelessly romantic and/or shallow (Valentine's Day as a "womanly" holiday) and men are pigs. It ignores the fact that most days are "days for men". It reinforces the idea that there are only straight couples in the world. It's just offensive and, to be honest, disgusting in many, different ways. And I'm usually not easily offended by this sort of nonsense.

This sort of echoes my own experiences with online liberal communities.

 Part of the allure of communities like GAF at one time(many millennia ago) was that by and large there was a much wider allowance of viewpoints and a  stronger culture of people that respected arguing the argument and not the arguer....Or at least the presence of those types were more prevalent which was able to keep the wrong-think tyrants from taking over the city in every thread.

Yeah.  The days of respecting the debate are gone.  Now it's about labeling the "other" a racist, russian mole, white moderate or fan of pewdiepie.

This thread is a good example.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1351878

People try their hardest to specifically say they find the cop at fault but that Michael Brown reached for the officers gun and then advanced towards him.  They are still labeled racist apologists too dumb to know there is a police abuse issue nationwide. 

and what is the debate that says michael brown never reached into the car or advanced?

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

And it's really just 5-7 posters who fuck up every conversation.  You could ban the idiots and let the multitude of other educated minorities fill their place.

Bitcoin. :-(

Was contemplating buying at 100 bucks worth at 10 cents, didn't,

Apple stocks
Tesla stocks
Facebook stocks
Bitcoin
...

Bitcoin. Watched it since the beginning and could've bought thousands for cheap.

Bit-fucking-coin...

i read a tiny article about it in the very very early days, and thought to myself "hmm interesting, maybe i should use a couple hundred euros to buy them". then i thought "nah it's a gimmick, i won't hear about Bitcoin ever again probably".

apparently i would have made some serious bank :| and as someone who is basically unemployed and in a really tight situation financially with no education, that stings.

I was 3 clicks away from investing money in farming bitcoin when they were only 100$ each.
That's what i get for never trusting my own ideas and always searching for confirmation...

In 9th grade I presented Bitcoin in IT class. That was 2009.
Afterwards the teacher asked if I ever bought some bitcoin and I said no.

A few months ago I read a story about a guys who bought 27$ worth of bitcoin in 2009 and it was worth 950.000$ now.

If I had just bought bitcoin for 10€ back then, it would be worth a fortune now.

As an aside, I'm not following bitcoin anymore, but I always got the impression it was fairly difficult to cash them out due to how shady and brittle the exchanges were (infamously MtGox). Anyone care to infirm/confirm ?

[benjipwns]

My sources that talk about it aren't the most trustworthy but they've shown an uptake in Bitcoin favorability over the last couple years. The problems with MtGox and stuff weren't really inherent to Bitcoin, it just happened to be what the "currency" was. I guess stuff like EVE or even WoW has seen the same type of things at times in their markets. It also led to people diversifying into the others like dogecoin and stuff which has helped the whole sector.

Transferring them into regular currency is still an issue though, they seem better for like buying game bundles or whatever online. But there are ATMs out there now.

Plus Chuck Schumer hates Bitcoin so it must have some value.

[VomKriege]

I was a big skeptic but it does seem like Bitcoin did turn a corner to be seen as a legitimate venue for speculation after years of being in a state of amateur hour exchanges and surrounded by snake oil salesmen (for farming). It's volatile but never really crashed into oblivion too.

Still, being a millionaire in BC is nice but a tad meaningless if you can't transfer them into filthy fiat currency.

[benjipwns]

I remember reading that the blockchain (the ledger which you needed to "confirm" bitcoins) was getting too big, 20 GB or something, which left the non-serious people ditching it. I don't know anything about whether they resolved that there were a number of different ideas of how.

Mining farm in Iceland:

[benjipwns]

On 11 March 2017, the Legends Room in Las Vegas announced it was to become the first strip club to accept Bitcoin as payment method[140]. Members will be able to buy drinks, dances and even become part owners

The poisonous atmosphere of the gaming community is one of the factors that led to me selling my PS4 and ducking out of "hardcore" gaming recently. And I've been a big gamer since the days of the Atari 2600.

I've got kids now, and that just isn't a world I want to expose them to. I have no desire to shelter them, but there's also no way in the world I'm going to stick a videogame in front of either of them knowing the shitty world of racism, sexism, and homophobia that awaits them.

I wanted my kids to grow up to love my hobby. But because of what it's become, I've decided I love them too much to expose them to it.

I can understand and I'm wondering what I should do as well. A game developer I know has difficulty explaining to his sons why he works in game development after he has to tell them about the shittiness of gaming culture and the shit that's spewed on the youtube videos their classmates watch. E.g. "why are you working in games when people are being such bullies?" they ask him.

I don't really see the point if you are not taking away the internet, and if you do that, then why bother taking away videogames?

[benjipwns]

it always gets me how insecure neogaf is that if you let people use a free press, the next thing you know, THE HOLOCAUST PART TWO IMMEDIATELY, so instead, we need to protect minorities by shutting them up in prison where they'll be safe and maybe even euthanizing them for their protection!

also how no one actually disagrees, they're all just joke posters or secret accounts

but i guess that explains some of their mob mod mentality, gamergate will stop at nothing to convert them

I havent givent anything Lime said a first thought in a long time.

I'm pretty sure Lime is talking about his fictional children and what they would do when they learned their father was so racist as to work for a gaming company.

Lime is at the very least 2 people.  One lives  in scandanavia and is a student.  The other lives in the mid-west.

My partner cannot leave the house any longer and can't go to work. We are unable to afford a car or calling cabs/Uber (also in case the driver is a white vigilante). The bus is too risky as well. We're in the mid-west.

Yeah, same here. I've been watching Maddow regularly since the 08 election and always respected her for being different from all the other news anchors when it comes to this type of reporting. This was really unlike her, especially after all the in-depth reporting on Russia over the last weeks.
