Ken Hotate

Fuck … this makes me laugh and cry at the same time … I really, really, really wish they had done more with his character or even built an entire series with him. So much lost talent it’s frustrating.

There are two things I know about white people: they love Matchbox 20 and they are terrified of curses.

Hotate was one of my favorite characters. I loved his relationship with Leslee.

you can be so beautiful and great while being so terrible and ugly at the same time.
I find this applies to humanity in general as well.

Wtf, I saw the thumbnail and thought “that guy looks just like Ken Hotate”, and here is your comment right there.
Damn that’s a blow, lost a real character in the world…

I am so sad. I love Ken even more than Rachel Ray, and I’m white!

I wouldn’t judge a country by who gets killed in it. Look up Tina Fontaine.
SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 3 weeks ago
America has allowed this kind of shit to happen for centuries.
It’s openly endorsed it in the past, and is now doing so again.
Yeah, I will fucking judge the country by these actions. They come from the top.

If you can’t find any beauty in what America has accomplished in 250 years, you’re being willfully ignorant. This country is in a desperately fucked up state right now, and it’s been even worse throughout history, but to pretend that the only version of America that exists is when we are at our very worst is just intellectually dishonest.

It’s been bad for as long as my people can remember.

Thank you for showing up at a post about the death of a human so you could brag about how hot shit the USA is.
Just awesome.

No, the other person showed up at a post about the death of an artist just to turn it into an anti-America post instead of being about the artist.
Yes, the US has issues, but as the other comment says there’s some good there too. I don’t see why the comment above decided to move the comments in this direction, but it’s not the comment you’re responding to’s fault.

Advance fascism across the globe? Make multiple trillionnaires and deepen the class divide into a chasm? Kill children through willing propagation of weapons? Spread opium everywhere? Develop a militaristic ethno state that sells weapons to genocidal maniacs, and uses them for genocide themselves?

There aren’t any trillionaires yet if I’m not mistaken.

I’m all for pointing out everything currently and historically wrong with any country, but you’re doing the “intellectually dishonest” thing. The question wasn’t whether you could point out a shitload of bad stuff, but whether you could see any good.
The British empire did a shitload of terrible stuff, that doesn’t mean leading the way in global industrialisation and bringing hundreds of millions out of starvation was one of them.
Germany has done terrible shit, but starting the predecessor to the EU and thereby heavily contributing to the most peaceful and prosperous eighty years western Europe has ever seen is usually seen as a good thing.
The US has done terrible shit, as you point out. Being a catalyst and inspiration for the global spread of democracy is usually seen as a positive. Being a core actor in the formation of the UN, helping build a post-WWII rule-based world order is usually also seen as a positive. US aid contributing hundreds of millions of people getting access to education, vaccines, medicine, and catastrophe-release is usually also seen in a positive light.

I used to provide rural healthcare to the tribal nations here in Oklahoma. I was always blown away to hear just how many of my patients had lost loved ones to violence, and how many of the murders went unsolved.
I had a patient whose son was a tribal advocate who was protesting a case in Colorado and went missing. Their other son went up to get the police to do their jobs and ended up being murdered, both cases unsolved.
The endemic violence towards the native people of America has not stopped and has continued since before the founding of this country.

I also would be 100% unsurprised if the police were the murderers.

That’s what the parents suspected as well.

Years ago, it was the same here in Canada. 30/40 years ago it was all just listed as ‘drunk indian was killed’ and the excuse was often just a brawl, accident, unfortunate event caused by alcohol abuse. These days it’s not so prevalent or obvious … fewer people being killed … but more being beaten, abused or taken advantage of. Hotels/Motels in northern towns often have ‘Indian sections’ in them where native people are booked to keep them relegated and controlled, even if you are a clean cut Native person with a family and children.
TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
That’s still a big thing down here.
Ahh Canada, everyone’s friendly neighbor until you get talking about indigenous people.
