Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

[Tartarus Sauce]

Consistently cutting against the grain of the majority opinion doesn't make you virtuous by itself; being able to argue your points intelligently is a far more noteworthy asset.

Boone, DeKalb, and Kendall Counties should be grouped into the Collar Counties, even though they lack a border connection with Cook County.

This is indeed a very strange opinion.  DeKalb and Boone aren't even part of the Chicago metropolitan area, LOL.  If you're including Kendall, why not include McHenry and Kane...?

DeKalb County is classified as part of the Chicago metropolitan area by the U.S. Census. Including Boone County wouldn't make any sense though since it's part of the Rockford metropolitan area.

Amen.  If the Dutch really do dip their fries in it, they are disgusting.

As a contrary to that idiot Solid:

The most recent Republican president who was a racist (Other than Trump) was Theodore Roosevelt, and even then, he was better than Trump with blacks. (Not so much with Asians, and white-on-white racism was still around at the time.)

yes noted liberal anti racists like nixon

All country music recorded after 1990 is crap.

Racism won't ever go away.

Racism can go away because it's a social construction less than 500 years old. Racism is a particular form of prejudice, that's what's here to stay in one form or another.

Mate, there's been racism and ethnic conflict ever since there've been races and ethnicities.

Our current conception of races and ethnicities are quite new from a historical perspective, group-based prejudice, however, is not. My point is that racism as we conceive of it is curable, but the underlying sentiments that fuel it aren't. Humans are remarkably susceptible to tribalism.
