I am genuinely glad to see a public demonstration of the fact that sincerely held beliefs, community or religious, don't preclude not being a fucking moron.

"Heh. Dese rubes don't suspect a ting."
Without getting in the guy's head or taking any position on Singer's guilt or innocence, I can see:
Misread that as "of all time," and at first I wasn't sure how that would be measured, but then I was like duh, Beyonce's on it.
"This is worse than what that bitch in Chemistry said about my editorial 'Why male atheists are the only group it's still okay to discriminate against'."
Yeah, this is the kind of shit the "libertarian" kid writes in his high school newspaper and then writes a 3000-word blog post about fascism when it gets pulled.
Dear guys running my country:
Adults thinking they're cool for having Seekrit Clubs is always going to be the most obnoxious thing ever, be it gangs, the Mafia, the Masons, country clubs or a bunch of 20-year-olds-who-look-forty who call themselves "the Machine."
"diversity = white genocide"
I am from Virginia and I have over two decades of empirical evidence for hating the absolute fuck out of the South. Also, being mean about regional slang on the Internet id not discrimination. Peace.
Also WTF is "showering down?" In the absence of an explanation I will assume that it is some weird Southern slang for getting a beej in the shower. Far be it from me to try to parse the language of elected officials who say "ain't" in casual conversation.
Reminder that there are people who say ENDA is unnecessary because anti-LGBTQIA discrimination is not a thing.
Yeah, that's my point, compared to, say, giving Jafar a gigantic nose and big, thick lips so we know he's one of the Bad Ayrabs.
Val Kilmer.
It's pretty amazing that the last example of a PoC protagonist was still the voice of fucking Doc Holliday (although Prince of Egypt did do an unprecedentedly good job of clearly representing characters who would have been historically non-white as such, compared to something like Aladdin.)
I seriously doubt most people do but I certainly wonder about anyone who's this quick to use their kid as a cudgel.
Cute. I'm not talking specifically about Holmes, I'm talking about accusations of racism specifically. Nick Searcy, for instead, flat-out said he adopted a black kid to rub it in people's faces when they accused him of racism.
Shun the outlier! Shunnnnnnnnn!
Can I simultaneously think that Holmes said a fairly dumb thing and that it's creepy as fuck that these people are parading their kids like pageant contestants just so they can show him that they Totally Got Him? And possibly wonder how much of a role the desire to be able to do that played in their decision to adopt…
Probably a dog, if we measure in time from arrival to shutting the fuck up about it.
