Either you didn’t read my comment carefully or...You’re struggling with numbers? Your take would be 100% correct if just SOME people of a particular race were religious. But when some studies indicate that the vast majority of a race do a particular thing (such as believe in God) AND you believe that anyone who does…

A. I’m well aware that atheists of color exist.

Better? Not necessarily. But at least more specific. Also, definitely not a stretch - you said something, I presented relevant facts and the logical conclusion from them. And asked if that was what you meant. And I guess you just meant “I’m not a racist, so I just want to say white church goers are idiots.” Again,…

Could it be? Yes. Should it be? No.

Seriously. I’d imagine these ppl spend most of the day in their own offices. Be less of a busybody.

You should have gone with the beard.

Sorry (not sorry) y’all. I often travel in flip flops so that I can be barefoot at my seat. I definitely slide them back on to walk around and to go to the bathroom (because I was raised to believe public bathrooms are designed to give you the plague). I figure my feet look and smell similarly with and without said…

Just as a friendly reminder, African Americans and Latinos are by far the most religious of our country’s larger ethnic groups (including white Americans). So you’re essentially saying that those two minority groups are almost entirely made up of low IQ individuals who are also quite racist. Which I disagree with, but…

I imagine that most progressives are happy enough to have you join us, and especially to have you vote with us. I’m glad you managed do the right thing for your kids. However, its hard for me to imagine that you went to that church for all that time and didn’t know what the congregants were really like. It seems more…

Should she have washed it? Or should whoever was in charge of/paid for the shoot have made sure that happened?

Agreed. Also, I question the wisdom of loaning something relatively delicate and white for an outdoor shoot, with the expectation that you’ll just use it again for another shoot shortly after.

I’m as opposed to sexual harassment and in favor of increasing diversity (gender, race, ethnicity, gender identity, etc) in the workplace, especially in positions of power, as any good progressive. That said, its really easy to talk about these things in clever internet think pieces that are divorced from the nuances…

It doesn’t really sound like they “finished” investigating so much as she finished for them and got a lawyer. If she could get a letter from the doctor stating this wasn’t abuse, they could have, too.

Also, arguments about inexperienced rescuers don’t justify police confiscating donated goods.

“I just knew I wanted to go to America and be a rapper and have a ponytail and a leopardskin jacket that went down to my feet, and like, 20 white, fluffy dogs on one leash,”

I reject the “your body is not your own” approach to parenting. While I’m assuming you meant that for parents in general, in most of the (western?) world, that mostly applies to women. I don’t ever hear people say that to men. A person’s body is his/her body. Period. They may lower MANY boundaries while parenting -…

I subscribe to the Skimm and actually open the emails at least a couple times a week. Quite frankly, while I wouldn’t have described it that way before reading this article, much of the written news is written in ways that tug your emotions. I can’t afford to be as angry as much of the time as many news outlets would…

Cosmo reports on abortion related topics with some frequency. Elle is all about it. While women’s mags maybe shied away from politics in the past, I think many have been dipping their toes in for at least the last decade. Probably since Obama got young people at least slightly engaged.

That is 100% why I don’t do clinic escorting. After a mtg at a clinic, I threatened to run over the feet of a protestor who wouldn’t step away from my car. That was only a two minute interaction. If I was there all morning, we’d have a real problem.

I agree with all of this. I do want to reiterate/underscore that the same Republicans who were super outraged about Griffin were cool with Palin and her target map. While many regular people were genuinely and appropriately outraged, I’m 100% certain that this was nothing more than faux outrage and posturing from…
