My “context” is explaining why David Cross may have made a racist comment(without necessarily having racist intent). He may have been trying to make a joke.

While a racist joke is totally unacceptable from your boss, it at least sorta makes sense in a gathering of comedians(depending on the exact phrasing and sarcasm…

Pretty sure saying “ching chong, ching chong” to any Asian person is considered unfunny and racist, no matter “your context.”

I’m not even sure what I am giving up?
I was just offering a statement of context, while still acknowledging that Cross was wrong because Yi was offended.

You seem to be wanting to put words in my mouth.

1) I didn’t say they were equivalent
2) I didn’t say Cross was justified
3) I didn’t say that Yi wasn’t right to be offended.(double negative=she is fully right to be offended)

I simply explained that Cross may have believed that he was making a valid joke. The context that they are both professional comedians skews the…

I mean...do you understand the concept of a script...

To play devil’s advocate:
They are both comedians, and he could have been trying to make a purposefully offensive statement as part of a joke.(e.g. “The Aristocrats” and similar) Offensiveness is determined by the listener, but he might have felt the line was pushed back because she was another comedian.
If she was too…

Current President of the BSA ( not a mormon ) is this guy:

Wait, is a Mormon not a Christian?

Sure. They do not ban other faiths.
However, the only religion currently represented on the Executive Board of BSA is Mormonism.
You figure it out.

How so? BSA bans atheist members. That is 100% true.

No, he wrote in his book that he has seen students watching/discussing concerts which he performed at, and not realizing he was a rock star.

That portion of the book was actually commenting on how infrequently students realize their professor is a rock star.

She basically ran DHS. She is Kelly’s pitbull.
She is going to do whatever Kelly wants. It is the perfect solution. He gets to run DHS by proxy and corral Trump.

Molly,

As much as I agree with Paulette about racist OKC, she is kinda full of shit about downtown..
Downtown OKC doesn’t really exist as a residential area. Bricktown didn’t really condemn much residential.

No. Now we will have all Christian kids running around with knives learning how to start fires.
They may be gay, transgendered, and female. But, fuck the Lord, they are going to be Christian(preferably Mormon)

I am legitimately trying to understand this term, because I know that I have poor interpersonal skills and that I am most likely guilty of this behavior.

However, I don’t understand a couple of nuances.

1) Starting a term with “well, actually” is probably bad form. I get that it is annoying and condescending. I don’t…

Patrick, you are missing something very fucking important.

Columbus was a fucking moron.
His entire plan was to sail from Spain to China in “about a week”. Everyone told him this was insane. They knew the world was a sphere. They even knew, approximately, the diameter of the sphere. They could do the math.
His voyage was…

I get it. Beer is turning into trendy bullshit. A lot of the trendy beer tastes like ass. Some of it tastes really good.

However, don’t put someone’s preference for beer into the same category as a preference for boxed wine. Don’t pretend that the pretension is some pretend bullshit like wine, or organic food, etc.…

Never buys athletic shoes from Foot Locker....only Dicks Sporting Goods or Academy Sports.

This article doesn’t take a position.
It argues that we should continue “Open Skies” if Russian is friend or foe.

If Russia is our enemy, then Open Skies keeps them from getting trigger happy.
If Russia is our friend, it allows them to see that they are still our friend.

Remember, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because they…

To be a pedantic asshole: The Tulsa incident isn’t really a “shooting”, since they also bombed and burned people. It was a “massacre”.
It was also the most disgusting event in US history, because it seemed to be motivated purely out of spite.

Other racist and vile acts on this list can at least be argued as ignorance.…
