This guy is a nut job. I'm trying to figure out where he falls politically. Seems like everyone, black or white, liberal or conservative, in power is gay. He seems a bit self loathing, but also is anti-gentrification. He definitely really really doesn't like gays.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It's so easy to go to the "self-loathing closeted gay man" conclusion, but, yeesh, these people think about gay sex more than most gay people.

James David Manning: Anti-gay pastor who insists Starbucks uses 'sodomite semen' in coffee admits he's been 'tempted by gay lifestyle'

He also praised Isis for stoning homosexual people

"The thing that I was not aware of is that...what Starbucks was doing, is they were taking specimens of male semen, and they were putting it in the blends of their lattes," the International Business Times quoted.

"My suspicion is that they're getting their semen from sodomites," he continued.

Huh, guess that's another reason for me to avoid Starbucks, as well as the fact I'm not nearly cool enough to know the lingo to place an order. Just give me a f'ing cup of coffee please!

No if you don't specifically ask you just get regular ol semen, might even be from someone who had a vasectomy. If you're not willing to pay extra for it you might as well just get your coffee from McDonald's, who use dog semen in their coffee.

Like anything else if you want quality you gotta be willing to pay extra for it.

Back in the 50s, people were so hopeful, expecting to live on the moon, wear jetpacks, and have sodomite semen in their coffee. So naive.

So I turned on Match Game and for some reason Gene Rayburn is dressed like Mao:

Worse—much much worse—is that he and the gang are pulling out all the old Chinese/Southeast Asian stereotypes. It's jawdroppingly horrible.

I know something from that late 70s doesn't really fit in with this thread but it didn't deserve it's own one. After seeing some of the 'comedy' shows from the 70s/80s I'm not sure there were any censors looking at racism. The Krypton Factor though was seen as more sophisticated than a bog-standard game show.

That's hard viewing. Not racism exactly, but sort of related. I rewatched the whole of Taxi some time back and loved it, but there's one particular scene in an episode where the main character Alex goes on a blind date with a large woman and Louis, the Danny de Vito character, basically fires a fusillade of bodyweight slurs at her, each one more insulting than the last. That's all it is, Louis chucking a barrage of abuse at her, the other characters mildly tut tutting and the audience laughing at such typical Louis scampish carry on. And i was shocked watching it, trying to comprehend how that could be deemed appropriate or even funny even in 1980 or whenever it was made. But, obviously, it was. And i can remember blackface still being quite common well into the 90s and don't recall all that much fuss being kicked up at the time. It's uncomfortable looking back.

I was talking about how the Ace Ventura movies probably don't hold up that well the other day. Big yikes.
