      I literally sat there while the video loaded going “college college college” because I know how some things can actually be ambiguous (I’m thinking of noise, not speech though) and you might hear the last word that was “close enough”, and I figured if I hear “colored” even after that, it’s bad.

      And it’s bad

      I genuinely can’t see how someone hears “college” from that.

        To me it sounds like he tries to change it to college at the very end but he was definitely saying colored.

        Great idea. When will you have the link ready?

            If that’s what you want then all you’ve got to do is dig up a link and make a post at about 5-6AM EST US tomorrow morning. Be the change you want to see.

      Well the context was him talking about a sorority so it’s not really at all damning. I hate fox news as much as the next guy but it could easily be one or the other. If you listen to it while saying either word in your mind, they both slip right in.

      I’m more frustrated by the fact he mentioned healthcare as if to imply she didn’t do enough? When have Republicans ever been pro-healthcare? It seems like blatant manipulation.

        He was comparing events someone could have attended. He was minimizing the importance of the event that was attended.

        He was further minimizing the importance of the event because it was a colored event. Then, he stated she should’ve distanced herself from the organization.

        If you choose to be blind then you’ll do it alone. It’s not like MAGA or neolibs. There’s no bandwagon to provide psychological safety for failures most overcome in high school.

          I’m saying that in this context, both college and colored both make sense. The context isn’t damning at all.

          The whole argument is monumentally stupid for sure but nonetheless, this is one of those situations where you will hear what you want to hear. I heard colored the first time and college the second time.

          It might very well be this effect at play and nothing else.

          It seems like a lot of people are responding very emotionally to what could very well be nothing but an auditory trick.

            Tell me you didn’t bother to watch it without telling me you didn’t bother to watch it.

            Stop wasting our time, apathetic moderate.

              When you said context, I took it to mean the context of the word itself. I thought, before watching the video, that you meant college wouldn’t make any sense in that phrase.

              I’m not even close to being a moderate, but I’m also not a hypocrite that’s going to get all emotional about innocuous things, that’s literally one of the reasons I hate the whole republican party.

              Grow up bro, not everyone that challenges you on the internet is automatically some trump loving loser that can only be wrong. We aren’t all knowing sages just because we choose the good side, it’s a fucking easy choice to make anyways.

              Write both words on a paper and take turns reading them as it comes up.

                I didn’t read this because I already believe you’re wasting our time. I did, however, look for a question mark. I didn’t see one. That’s too bad. Maybe next time.

          You can click on my history. I’m left enough that I’m essentially a commie.

          I’m voting for whoever the Dems want at this point, hell I’d vote for bush if he switched sides and the Dems decided on him.

          I don’t participate in circle jerks however, no matter who it benefits.

            With ideological and just logical consistency like that, I have no doubt that you WOULD indeed vote for a war criminal as long as he was representing your team 🤦

              Sadly, I’m at the point where anybody is better than trump and his crazies. Ideally, we would have a proper political system that didn’t force us into one camp or the other but you have to be realistic about things.
