I'll defer to you then. Can his ass.

Oh, no no no. I speak Spanish and heard the segment and he most definitely was NOT talking about the make-up job, he was talking about Mrs. Obama. Here is the translation and follow up:

F. Married to a Mexican/Chinese/African/(insert group you were racist against here)

In Texas they would have said "We're not votin for the nigger."

I had a friend canvasing down in Virginia in 2008. He knocked on the door of a house and asked this couple if they were voting and who they were voting for. Their response with a completely straight face as if it were the most normal thing in the world? "We're votin' for the nigger."

To clarify point 'B', does the black friend actually have to be aware of your existence? I ask, because I've known a couple of people claiming to have black friends, when what they meant was that they work in a building that has a black person in it, or they got their car fixed by a black mechanic ("he's really quite…

Um, can you correct this. Racist Reporter gets himself fired for comparing Michelle Obama to an ape.

You kid but a shit ton of people would agree with that. If I had a penny for every time someone told me racism ended when Obama was elected I'd have...probably a dollar and some change.

Inevitable "free speech" whining may be countered as follows: Too many people should ask their 8th grade social studies teacher to explain "freedom of speech "again. It does not mean "freedom from consequences resulting from your speech." It applies to government persecuting citizens for what they say or write. It…

He voted for Obama was his defense? Make no mistake, some of the most racist people I have ever known in my 26 years of life voted for Obama.

Nope. Please, tell me when that has ever happened.

It's a straw-man argument. You're saying that because the NBA is made up of mostly black men, then that is exactly the same as writers being mostly white men. Writing and sports are not the same thing, and they are not analogous: sports, for better or worse, is a true meritocracy. Shitty players get weeded out, and…

DTMFA. The dude is has issues with women and if in the future you have more success in your writing than he does the crap comments will only get worse.

The white dude tears on display here are hilarious. For a group that tells anyone experiencing misogyny, racism or homophobia that they need to stop being so sensitive and stop "playing the victim card," they sure are quick to whine about how horrible and mean "SJWs" are to poor oppressed cishet white men.

Something like 3% of books on the top 10 spots of the NYT best seller lists were by African Americans. And 90% of books reviewed by NYT were authored white people. The deck is stacked against non-white, non-male authors and it ain't just because of writing ability.

You are the only person whose saying that.

Its always entertaining to watch the feathers rustling whenever someone suggests that you exclude white men from something, as if they were in danger of being forgotten. I can't imagine that the same level of uproar would exist if the challenge was to only read non-fiction for a year, or only Canadian authors, or…

Vote with your dollars,

I've had friends tell me they don't read female authors because they just don't like the books they write. Of course if you ask them to give an example of a book by a woman they have read and didn't like, they can't name one. It's an easy, lazy assumption to make. And it this attitude this campaign is trying to draw…

Most of the time, I do not even know it, and quite frankly, I don't care.
