The weirdest thing about **Slacker** is not his hateful views (yes, even when tinged with paternalistic “affection”, views about inherent racial intellectual inferiority are indeed hateful), but his apparent need for approval and reassurance from progressives that he’s not as bad as those like Trump and allies. Again and again we’ll criticize him for his hateful views, and again and again he’ll talk about how much he likes Obama, Kamala Harris, and supports policies that would benefit black Americans, as if that makes it okay to have such hateful views (hint: it doesn’t). ---

A person who needs to believe he’s superior to other races, who is also desperate for validation and approval. Bug standard insecurity, really. ---

You think I am seeking approval? Trust me, I am perspicacious enough that if that’s what I was out to do, it would be childishly easy. I would start, obviously, by not articulating controversial or taboo opinions. If it weren’t against the rules, I would make an alternate identity to illustrate. What I am a stickler for is accuracy. About me, about others. ---

Missed the edit window. Furthermore, I am not out to reflexively be a contrarian. I express my genuine opinion about the topic at hand, and when others’ match mine I say so. If you pay attention, you will see me do just that frequently. The only time you guys seem to notice it is when you suddenly decide that I am desperately seeking approval, after sticking fingers in various people’s eyes previously. Much simpler than either being a troll/contrarian on the one hand, or a kissass seeking approval on the other, I’m just expressing my honest opinion about everything, and letting the chips fall where they may. ---

Meh, Like if asking you for accuracy about sources does not end in grammar complains from you, so then you don’t have to deal with your ignorance on many controversies. ---

Apparently it was for his sig. Which currently reads “Some people on TV are nice.” but might have had a “to look at” tacked on before the suspension? So basically, he tried to petulantly express dissatisfaction with the recent misogyny modding, in the form of a trolling sig, and it bit him on his arse. Love it! ---

I’d suppose it was one of those mod loop things, but **Bone** was the one who gave him the two warnings mentioned in the announcement linked to above, and he was also the one who announced the suspension. ---

These are really funny. In the GD thread about a new California regarding suspensions: > [@California Schools not allowed to ban students, your opinion?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/california-schools-not-allowed-to-ban-students-your-opinion/840011/147): > > ETA: This is something about which my wife, a high school special-education teacher, and I vehemently disagree. You might say she is much more qualified to judge, but I spent several years substitute teaching mostly in middle school and high school. So. His wife, a career teacher, disagrees, but he subbed for a couple years. So, you know, he knows everything. > [@California Schools not allowed to ban students, your opinion?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/california-schools-not-allowed-to-ban-students-your-opinion/840011/152): > > I haven’t read the whole thread or really anything from before I started posting on page 5 or whatever it was. If this is not about eliminating suspensions\* then cool. I’m not strawmanning, just going with what I assumed we were talking about based on the title of the thread. > > \*Or, almost as bad, insisting on racial quotas for suspensions. And, he didn’t bother to even skim the OP, let alone read the whole thread before he jumped in. That thread is a fucking troll orgy. It’s like fucking red meat. It’s basic enough for people to understand (back in my day . . .) and it gives them all the chance to bitch about what incorrigible animals black kids are. Because if black kids are inhuman trash starting in Kindergarten, if we can dismiss them because “they had the opportunity to show they cared about an education and they threw it away” before they are even old enough to write their name, then we are off the hook for anything that happens to them after. The idea of little black kids\* getting away with something\* and white teachers _powerless to stop them_ just activates the fuck out of our usual suspects. ---

Ah yes, time for an update since this was bumped. So, besides falling for misleading information about the differences of intelligence among “races”, lukewarm climate change disinformers, “centrist” anti-GMO positions; falling for late term abortion misinformation from the right, health care dumb talking points (from the right too), incel propaganda and feminism talking points from conservative land, he also falls for propaganda from the right that also does control a lot of the parameters of the discussion about school suspensions. (IOW, it is clear that SI has not learned why is that one has to clean also the sources of information that one uses. Slacker never seems to notice the many hooks he gets in his mouth that are coming from many unreliable sources of information that troll their readers or viewers.
