    Soo, showing up in leftist reporter Mussolini’s home to debate his current thoughts about a new type of revolution, bringing a gun just in case. I don’t know if there’s any amount of distraction you could subject Benito to in order to prevent him from thinking up fascism. You’d either have to make him realize it’s stupid or kill him.

    Addendum: don’t forget to practice with your handgun beforehand, and bring something to smash a windshield beforehand. This is why there were 8 failed assassination attempts on him.

    Alright. Just a guess here, but the instructor put the hat on the gator. My thought is that they were attempting to use their hat as an impromptu blinder so they could wrangle it. Instead, however, the gator could still see, didn’t like what was going on, and bailed.

    The virile black man stereotype? Not in the US. it’s apart of the myth that black men are naturally very strong and thuggish. It’s also usually paired with the concept of them being extremely sexual (think of the giant black penis stereotype and the constant fear mongering surrounding black men ‘stealing’ all the white women). These are extremely old stereotypes that harken back to when black slaves were viewed in a fashion closer to beasts of burden than to human beings.

    EDIT: woops, saw my typo, should be fixed now.

    It’s because they are in a performing role. They are token individuals destroying their bodies to create entertainment for the audience. It’s no different than how the south treats rodeo as some kind of beacon of equality for black individuals. It’s purely a facade to point at when denying the existence of inequality and dismissing civil rights arguments.

    It’s also directly tied to the myth of the primal black man - all brawn and no brain. A racist sex symbol.

    EDIT: typos

    EDIT 2: flipped brain and brawn, didn’t notice. Fixed.
