Racist post on Brown County GOP Facebook elicits bipartisan backlash
Boris Ladwig
A racist post on the official Facebook page of the Brown County Republican Party has elicited some bipartisan backlash.
The post, which has been taken down, included an alleged newspaper editorial espousing white supremacist tropes and was littered with dog whistles including that Black people come from “jungles,” have “virtually no intellectual achievements” and continue to show that they’re culturally incompatible despite best efforts to integrate them into white people’s “majestic civilization.”
The piece is “deeply grounded in white supremacy,” totally overlooks historical intellectual and cultural achievements of Africans, and glosses over centuries of enslavement and marginalization of people of African descent, said Darryl M. Heller, director of the Civil Rights Heritage Center and assistant professor of women’s and gender studies at Indiana University South Bend.
National Lampoon’s Vacation
The Mitchells, much like the Griswolds of
National Lampoon’s Vacation, are your average American dysfunctional family. Try-hard dad, Rick (Danny McBride) and nerdy teenage daughter, Katie (Abbi Jacobson), really don’t get each other: he’s an outdoorsman and she just wants to make movies. All the while mum, Linda (Maya Rudolph) and dinosaur-obsessed younger brother, Aaron (Michael Rianda) struggle to try and maintain the peace at the dinner table.
When Katie gets admitted to film school, she feels like she’s finally found her tribe and can’t wait to ditch home (and dad) to start her new life. But poor, sentimental, misguided Rick lovingly sabotages her first glorious chance at freedom by cancelling her one-way plane ticket, forcing Kate to trade in Freshers Week for a farewell cross-country family road trip.
