I think you're struggling with causality here. Let me see if I can help:

Ignorance and bad upbringing usually make people racist. From Paula Deen's own comments when the original news of her racism broke, it sounds like she can check the latter box because she was raised to think that the N-word was just something…

I'm not entirely clear on what you're asking for here. You seem to think that hiring non-white people is an inoculation against racism. I'm pretty sure that's only true if the original plan was to hire a white woman and have her do this in blackface. It's a website for a restaurant owned by one of the most famous…

Does there need to be a People's Exhibit A worse than the D'Antoni hire? Let's review the top line on how that went down:

Court Phil publicly.
Get Phil to agree to come out of retirement.
Call him at midnight to tell him not to pack because you're going to hire a coach who's all about up-tempo and wants Pau Gasol…

Can we discuss that after we talk about the obvious idiocy of the idea that the racism began with the posting of the photo on the website rather than, I don't know, the racist caricature of mammy rangin' that bell?!?!?!

You're kinda like Aaron Neville: You don't know much...

Most plantation owners hired more blacks than whites. You needed that spelled out for you?

Tough to tell. We'd need more information. Were you born on a plantation prior to the Civil War?

Man, you really set a trap for him by pointing out that a photo he might not have seen before that depicts a racist caricature has been on the website for five years!

I can't blame you one bit for the 180... There's a difference between having hands made out of muffins and having hands shaped like muffins. What the fuck are you gonna do with two muffins besides eat them? If the hands are shaped like muffins, go with corduroy skin and functioning hands.

Different people have different methods of motivating themselves and others. It's clear from your outlook that this method doesn't work for you. That is value-value neutral, neither good nor bad, but simply you. So while your second sentence should really be "If I compare myself to myself, I won't try..." that…

"You know what, man? You're right. I still think Kirk has potential to be a solid NFL QB, but he definitely didn't make the most of his opportunity the way I thought he would when I was drunkenly talking about burning my RG3 jersey... I'm frustrated that Griffin can't stay healthy, but I'm not gonna lie: Cousins…

You, my friend, are still ridiculous. All insults, no substance. I seem worried to you? You should appreciate being thought of, fondly, every time an opposing defender clasped his hands around a Kirk Cousins pass thrown for no discernible reason to no logical target. That said, I can't help but admire the "fandom"…

As a Detroit Lions fan who has lived here since 1994, I can't tell you how desperately I've been wishing there could be some sort of Fanbase Freaky Friday incident... Not forever. Just long enough for folks who want to turn every completion into the Immaculate Reception or run new coaches out of town for every…

I think this was a joke about how ridiculous Washington FC fans were about the whole "Should Cousins be traded?" "QB controversy" that started when Kirk Cousins was the Steve Young of the 2014 preseason.

Bell, Biv, Devoe: Now we know.

Here's a short one for you: Now that Kirk Cousins has proven that he isn't who you thought he was, how well does Colt McCoy have to perform to convince you that you should burn your Kirk Cousins jersey when RG3 is healthy and back behind center?

You've responded three times without offering a counter-argument other than "shitting on Heineken is pandering." You're criticizing someone for bashing a beer that you agree is bad for writing an article with the headline "There is no excuse for drinking Heineken." They told you up front what their thesis was. You…

This is a good point and I think it applies to the broader community beyond the student base. I grew up in Flint and I knew plenty of people whose parents were HUGE U of M fans. (This applies for MSU fans too.) For those families, it was a rite of passage to take your son and his best friend to a game at least…

This is the first time I'm seeing the University of Michigan and the concept of humility conveyed together in a non-oppositional fashion. It's unfamiliar but not unpleasant. I'd like to hear more.

Watching NYG @WAS and every time Cousins drops back to pass, I hear a woman's voice faintly singing "You AAAAARRRRE... The radio stahhhhhhhhrrrr..."

ReGr3ssing indeed.
