Why is this the type of news you wish to hear about?

I don't think people who would see a movie about slavery just because Brad Pitt is in it would be moved by the message. In fact, because this movie is about slavery in the US, they might further think of racism as our problem and continue to fail to see their own racism in their own country.

Can I share this to Crosstalk as well?

So true! Women don't have "mental health issues" or "personal problems" that can explain their actions...we're just crazy bitches at all times...

That was my first thought, too! This isn't your run-of-the-mill abuser...you don't throw your baby off a roof then jump off afterward if you're in touch with reality.

The saddest part is the number of white people accusing other white people of "white guilt."

You don't seem to know much about wisdom...

It's true...I'm laughing so hard that I need a mug to collect all my tears...

Hey, would you mind if I shared this comment to Groupthink?

HAH! Truth...love that gif, btw!

I'd normally be all about the dismiss button, but all of these people are proving my point: white people LOVE defending their right to be racist.

people getting unnecessarily overly outraged because they think others are getting overly outraged

I posted this comment just over an hour ago and I've already attracted 6 angry white people defending the sanctity of comedy! Now that's comedy!

Look, comedy is one of those sacred arenas

notice how the world and comedy as we know it didnt come to an end

My little bro took a huge bite out of Play-Doh once...

Labeling something "comedy" doesn't make it immune from criticism and it certainly doesn't change the fact that it's offensive. If Sacco had said what she said in her tweet in a comedy club, she would have gotten applause, but because she's in PR and she said it on her corporate Twitter account, the entire internet…

I wouldn't have found out about this story til I got my NYT blast email tomorrow morning had it not been for Burt. Lots of people spend lots of time on Gawker Media and a lot of us get our news from here and several other sources.

Who the FUCK starred that fucking comment?

What everyone's upset about here is that the OP was speculating that the murder-suicide was somehow the mother's fault even though there's ZERO evidence of this. No one person could possibly cause someone to become so severely mentally ill that he throws his baby off a roof and then jumps off of it himself.
