I think the thing that offended people wasn't that she was a white woman who felt sorry for a black person

It was that the same message also included a photography of her drinking wine, in a sexy bikini, on a yacht in the ocean.

So it's like in the same message where she purports to feel for others she couldn't resist a chance to  demonstrate  visually how much wealth and sex appeal she has!

Imagine if you posted a bereavement card to me to sympathise about my dead relative but included a shot of you flexing your new gym muscles kicking back in your ferrari. What is out of touch was the social appropriateness of instragram-style self promotion during a social/political uproar.

That's a dumb reason for people to be offended and a big reason social media is the septic tank of humanity, meant for sanctimonious, asshat losers who feel they have a level of power at their slimy little fingertips. They're upset over the "context" of a fucking actresses tweet? Jesus H. Christ.

Justin Timberlake was even more disgusting. Jesse Williams went on an anti white racist rant (yes, racist, his poor mother), basically calling us all evil whitey assholes. I do wonder about his feelings on Jews...Justin actually applauded his speech, a big mistake for a myriad of reasons, and he was attacked by vapid, wannabe activists for ripping off black artists. So...what music are we allowed to like, to be inspired by and to perform? Fuck them in their fake ass, no talent, no contribution to soceity or their race, self absorbed selves. Fuck them in the ear. They have no fucking problem taking all that money from white kids, do they?

Yeah its like monkey and all the others outraged expected her to pour out her champagne, pour herself a cup of milk, put some pants on, and head back to shore to tweet her opinions on that tragedy.

All she did was speak her mind on the subject....where she is at while doing it is irrelevant. When black actors/singers were outraged by that shooting and commented, did they go to some dark alley in Compton to tweet their thoughts? No, they did it from their mansions and most of them have a shit load more money than Mischa.

Neither one of you are paying attention to what is happening right now. This is not about the DNC. This is not about what the Khans may or may no believe about gay marriage. This is not about the NFL publicly stating that Trump is lying again. This is not about the GOP primaries (which polling showed conclusively that he would win btw.)

This is about Trump's campaign starting to fall apart. Trump's demagoguery is finally coming back to bite him on the ass. Prominent Republicans are beginning to endorse Hillary Clinton. They're calling Trump out for his dangerous rhetoric and will do anything they can to stop him. A new poll (from an A rated polling group) from Georgia...GEORGIA has him in a dead heat with Hillary. Trump's GOP convention made him less likable in the eyes of Americans. On and on...you're welcome to pivot to something else, but you'd only be shielding yourselves from the truth.

The true battleground states have it dead even or a point or two.  He was actually ahead in Florida the last poll I saw.  All your ranting and you haven't once explained why Hillary is a better candidate or excuse all of her lies and anti-progressive positions.  Obama's brother is voting for Trump.  Does that mean anything?  FUCK NO IT DOESN'T.  I don't care what some no name congressman from nowhere, USA is supporting.  You're trying to pretend like there's some GOP exodus for Clinton, yet how many people that voted for Obama in 08 and 12 are now going for Trump.  You ignore that aspect and think because some actor or no name congressmen endorsed Clinton, it has some meaning.  Who are these "prominent" Republicans.  Did you even know who they were before MSNBC or Huff Po ran an article?

I'm not backing Trump.  I've said that 100 times here and on your forum.  But this hypocrisy you and others have when it comes to the history of lies with Clinton and all of her deception, yet all you want to focus on is the dumb shit Trump says.

Fuck Kahn.  He sacrificed shit for his country and his sons actions reflect on him no more than his father's actions reflect on him.  You guys want to prance out victims to silence any discussion on issues because you know immigration is a loser.  You're scared to death that when Hillary is forced to face her comments and actions, she won't be able to run backstage and converse with her advisers.  Maybe she can just decline to answer every question she doesn't like.

Have a fucking backbone.  Either admit you give a fuck about transparency and electing a competent person who isn't the definition of corruption, or back Jill Stein or some other 3rd party candidate.  Your constant attacks on Trump while a refusal to acknowledge any of the numerous faults of Clinton is telling.  You're a cheerleader and Clinton could advocate 18th trimester abortions and you'd still support her.

Stew Mac is a great resource...but if the neck is starting to a twist then it might be time to find a new instrument...thats a bit beyond my skill or knowledge...I'd take the guitar to a local guitar centre type of guitar shoplayer and have them look at it

For electric guitars I taught myself a bunch of stuff for basic maintenance...basically I unknowlingly fucked up the setup on my guitar when changing strings...I brought it into Long & McQuade in Canada and I hated the setup I got back

From there I researched and learned how to do my own basic setups...intonation, action, neck relief, pickup swaps, wiring etc etc

I didn't say you were supporting it. That came out wrong. I was making a general statement about white people who are huge advocates of this movement and support everything #Blacklivesmatter when in reality they'd be shaking in their boots if placed in a situation with even a small group of its real supporters.

We had a member here who lived on the east coast but was moving to Ripon or some other town near me. Forgot who it was. If you're lurking, still live in this region, and do happen to support this, head on over to Paradise and Bystrom and start pontificating about how much you support them in this cause. I'll monitor a scanner to see how long it takes the ambulance to pick you up.

White liberals are pretty insufferable... I will say a good many do really genuinely care, but I've known too many who love patting themselves on the back with how hip they are.
