Oh boy
The boards have been going crazy the past few days, ever since the finale of the Apprentice. In case you haven't seen it, Randal (a black man, widely considered to have done the best job overall) was hired, and almost directly after that, Trump asked him if the runner-up, Rebecca (a white woman) should be hired as well. Randal said no, "It's the Apprentice, not the Apprenti," or wtte. Trump said okay then, and then the show ended because this all took place at like 10:58.

Over on the episode thread, a lot of people are complaining about Randal's decision, and saying they lost all respect for him.

On Randal's specific thread we get more of the same, with the bonus of some MsAlli posts. At one point she says Randal's act was "Maybe the lowest and most indefensible thing I've ever seen on reality TV, and I've watched a lot of reality TV."

And then we have the Race and the Apprentice thread and the General Ethnicity and TV thread, who see things completely different, and do a lot of meta talk. Harsh all around.

Not really twop crit, but I figured it went better here than on f_w.

So far it's just a bunch of TWoP Sucks people there trying to derail the board by mocking themselves. It's funny that they're so afraid of being criticized, when all they do on TSucks is criticize TWoP and its people, and one of their major criticisms of TWoP is that they can't take criticism. potmeetskettle, demonstrating how aptly named she is, even said the criticism of TWoP Sucks that appears here was just someone with "too many sour grapes in their diet." Why would anyone be bitter or have sour grapes about TWoP Sucks? It's not like they ban or warn anyone. Maybe it's just impossible for them to believe that they are anything but smart and funny and absolutely correct about everything, which would pretty much make them exactly like TWoP. At least it took TWoP two or three years to get as bad as it is. TWoP Sucks went from being a fun and funny site to being a haven for hypocritical, mean-spirited gasbags in less than six months.

Take your whining over to TWoP Sucks Sucks so we can start trying to get this place back to being TWoP Crit and not Sucks Crit.

Go ahead and start. No one's stopping you. You obviously have nothing to say about TWoP or you would say it.

Neither do you, so you have no place here. The community is about TWoP. You and everyone else talking about Sucks are being off topic and it's annoying. You said the people from TWoP Sucks are trying to derail the conversation at that board, yet you and the other people complaining about Sucks are derailing the conversation over here. So just shut up about it and take it to your own board. That's why it was made.

If it's about TWoP, then why aren't you talking about TWoP? There's no conversation to derail here because you're not saying anything.
