It's not that easy when the average black family is worth 20x less than the average white one, and black median income is typically half that of white median income. Blacks are far more likely to be in poverty.

Come on, it's so clearly worded to make him sound tragically unhip and clueless that it's obviously a ploy. "I wouldn't have any idea where to get a Molly or what a Molly is"

Very little of what you said is true. Have a good day.

You're missing the point, guy. And I made that post 10 days ago. Relax.

Nah, I study this shit/do community and social work as a career, so, try again, I guess?

Ha, I realized after I posted that some people would seize on that first line and dismiss the rest of it because of some problem they have with people liking and talking about a TV show that comments on urban issues. I actually wish I hadn't put that line in there; it was just something I had heard recently and seemed…

Nah, nice try though guy!

I've explained this stuff enough in the last couple days so I'll just quote a nextcity article: "After the National Housing Act of 1934, the Federal Housing Authority began a practice known as redlining, which blocked black and low-income neighborhoods from receiving FHA-backed home loans through color-coded maps.…

Yeah, I don't mean to say that such problems are unique to St. Louis—they're absolutely endemic across the whole country—but rather that there, due to the city's particular history of white flight, economic decline, and disastrous urban planning, the issues seem more stark than many other places.

Maybe they should, but as someone who has visited that and other local news sites every day in the time I've lived in St. Louis, I just can't do it anymore. It's really pointless. I know how racist and small-minded those people are. It doesn't do anything constructive for me anymore.

There's nothing that can make a sane person more upset/angry than reading comments on St. Louis local news outlets. Never, ever go into the comment section of a STL Today article even vaguely related to a racial issue if you don't want to lose your faith in the decency of people.

David Simon, the creator of The Wire, often talks about how there are really two Americas—one economically viable and mostly white, the other economically hopeless and mostly black. In my experience, no place embodies this division more than St. Louis, where I've lived the past few years. You can drive north from a…

I had to go back and reread it and damn you're right. Daddy dude tried too hard on that one.

I tend to agree but how about no one goes aggro on anyone? Sometimes it's a two-way street and pitchers get injured; see psycho Carlos Quentin breaking Greinke's collarbone last year.

Carson Cistulli on Fangraphs called this way back when.

Has Deadspin written anything about how Drake fucked up saying Johnny "Man-zeel"?

It's understandable that you don't get it if you're not from the US. What you say MIGHT be true, but while you're out campaigning for some law change that will never happen, you better be tipping if you're going out to eat. Simple as that.

So has Kevin Millar:

It goes to a receptionist for Beverly Hills Properties. Woman sounded pretty exasperated: "What is going ON?"

I don't get why people think giving up 2 billion is such a big deal. He already has more money than he knows what to do with at age 80-whatever, and more than enough for his kids and his kids' kids' kids, which he might not even care about.
