It’s not irrelevant from an academic standpoint. Famously good sports teams, particularly basketball and football, which as we’ve seen are predominantly black, even at schools where black students make up 2.4% of the population, are a draw for students of all kinds. And drawing more students means more tuition and…

“That's OUR job!"

The GOP is scared that if people follow Hill’s, well thought-out and explained reasoning, that suddenly their Ivy League Alma Maters’s sports teams are going to start sucking horribly.

I don’t get your point. Because much/most of the revenue generated by big-time athletic programs is plowed back into athletics, it somehow wouldn’t be worth it for HBCUs to get that money?

Because they need to stoke the fires of the base against the “libtards” and their “whataboutisms”. Also, they are avoiding talking about Trump and his administration bungling of a lot of issues so as to curry favor with Trump and prop him up.   

“That’s like re-segregating the country, why would we want that? Besides of course the reasons Tucker Carlson and I lay out every night.”

Don’t say that, Starbucks will trademark it and start selling it.

I’m a Nordic Mulatto, which sounds like a type of coffee drink.

Hexadecaroon might be a good name for a blog for computer programmers of African descent.

You should have them give you the court case that invalidated the wording on that deed, too. 

Afew houses ago, I bought a house on an older plot of land in Lexington County, SC. The land deed said on it that only pure whites are allowed to hold title and live on the property except for slaves and servants. The “and servants” was obviously added by a 1920s typewriter.

This thing is clearly racist as fuck, but I had to chuckle at all the many bizarre options for whites: American (assuming they meant this one for whites and not American Indians or “Red” dear god), White American, Aryan, Blanc (???), or Teutonic.

Also: Xena was so much better than Hercules.

If you had told young me “You can see Xena naked, but you have to wait 15 years” I probably would have been wary about whether that was a good thing or not. Young me would have been a fool though, because somehow Lucy Lawless in Spartacus was exponentially hotter than Lucy Lawless in Xena.

That’s not new, she’s been converting women into lesbians for decades. Ask any late Gen X/early Millennial WLW who their awakening was, and you’re gonna get a lot of Lucy Lawless and Gillian Anderson.

Oh god.  She’s amassing an army.

YES. She was the fantasy woman of my childhood, and the stunning, sultry vixen of my adulthood. She has definitely aged in the best of all possible ways.

Thank gods Lucy Lawless is still cool.

Exactly. If you can’t find a good chicken place in Tennessee, you’re not even trying.
