Is there a shortage of black men out there?

I guess I'm not even remotely seeing the issue with the statement that "love is colorblind." You love who you love. Why does he need to explain it any farther than that?

No... This article has a fundamental misunderstanding of the 10-20-Life rule and SYG, which is pretty common.

Basically, the redraft would give judges more leeway in sentencing. SYG still wouldn't have applied to Alexander, she just would have been unlikely to get serious time.

In the 10-20-Life rule, you get a…

He may or may not be a rapist. I'm really glad Jezebel writers backed off on that one. It further polarized an already nasty issue.

The police didn't do any one any service here. Lets say, for a moment, Winston was wrongly accused. The police delays and shenanigans made the appearance of a coverup. If he's guilty,…

Good for her! Rape cases need to be taken seriously and this is an important mechanism we have for making the police pay attention.

There are types of threats online that need to be seriously investigated as you said. Laws currently on the books do have such threats currently under their umbrella, and their needs to be a concerted effort to make laws enforcement act on these issues and understand the technology.

Man, I tell ya, what that Nate Robinson lacks in height he makes up for in being mistaken for a baby.

Scorsese said the names of seven directors he likes. He didn't rank them. He didn't say it was a definitive list of the best directors. He didn't say no one else besides these seven are any good. He just listed seven good directors. And because none of them were women, he's a sexist now?

I read that headline as "Scorsese explicitly thinks women aren't good directors," when upon investigation, it's clear it should have instead said "Scorsese highlights some favorite directors without mentioning any women because the industry is sexist and as such, women are underrepresented." I wish Jezebel's editors…

Yeah, kind of disappointed in the "Let's Get Clicks" headline here. If Scorsese had said something more along those lines ("Women directors? No fucking thank you.") I could understand. But as is, he's just naming innovatove, prolific directors that he finds interesting.

I hate myself a little when I'm sucked in by these headlines. He did not say the best directors are men.

So, it sounds like his list is based upon his own personal opinion. So, are we now required to have a 50/50 gender distribution in our own personal preferences? Shit, now I gotta think of 5 female rappers to include in my top ten MCs.

You realize that no one said that the kid was a prop or posited that the adoption was a ploy, right? You are making things up.

It was a dumb, mean throwaway remark, and I defy you to find a single human being who hasn't uttered one of those per week since the age of 4. Glenn Beck is right on, in this case.

But "don't apologize if you aren't sorry" =/= "don't call people out on their bad behavior." The point is that if you are called out on your behavior, only apologize if (with any luck, after giving the matter some actual thought) you're genuinely sorry for what you did. If you're not, then have the courage of your…

Others can and should acknowledge publicly that the behavior is wrong. Networks, employers, etc should apologize for giving assholes a platform for their crappy views. Critics should point out the fallacy and offensiveness of the crappy views. The holders of the crappy views should not apologize for airing them…

See also, from this same article, an excellent analysis in the comments of what Robles' scores actually mean. Looks like she didn't actually out-lift any of the men but one:

As a guy who is ex military I never did well with pull-ups either... It favors certain types of men and even though I was stronger than most men in my unit I was also taller and built bigger. So even though I was stronger than most guys I had a lot more weight to pull, my strength to size ratio was less than guys…

Many states are employment-at-will legally, so you can be fired for wearing an ugly tie, or for nothing at all. If you want to sue claiming it was based on bias, you have to prove that fact. They only offer severance during layoffs as an inducement for people to sign away their right to litigate.

The Young Turks even did a segment of the same people defending the guy now trying to tell a network ti fire a guy for badmouthing Sarah Palin. And unlike our dear "patriarch" that least the man who badmouthed Palin said what he said was overly-rude and was sorry. It's only The Freedom of Speech That We Like to those…
