Data and stats about this only back up and reinforce what Black people and other people of color have always lived with and know about schools in better, whiter areas. Its just preaching to the choir.

“2012 is the time we are going to send Mr. Obama home to Kenya or wherever it is,”

Here’s why you are completely wrong:

Respectfully to your last point, I love the enthusiasm, but I think she’s exactly where she needs to be for now: Congress needs more young, progressive members uncorrupted by status quo politics of the last several decades—she’s providing a fantastic example of how to question and combat the evils we’re up against. I…

Also she managed to make it relate directly to her district (no surprise given her district) but still it lays to waste any criticism that she’s too busy being a bamf on these big picture things to be focusing on her district. More people should really use her as an example of how to do just that. 

Her questions about the asset/tax fraud related to the two NY golf courses, which Cohen answered in the affirmative, set up the city of New York and the State of New York to demand Trump’s tax returns. And not just because they are entitled to them in general, but, now, because they have real, prosecutable reasons to…

She was quick, poised and an example to all.

Lots of ties between hate groups and the military/police.  

There are many Marines who are minorities and would be victims of a piece of shit like Mead. The Commandant would do well to tell all the Marines that are endangered by racists like Mead who have violated their Oath of Enlistment that fucking Nazis will never be tolerated in the United States Marine Corps. The…

If one is attempting to shut down discussion by approaching it in bad faith, they are not contributing to said discussion. Therefore shutting them down is an attempt to continue the actual discussion. This isn’t difficult to understand.

It’s funny because they always have “logical” explanations for it that inevitably boil down to “I get upset when people talk about racism.”

As others have pointed out, the ‘difficult to work with’ came from her being let go from “Blue Bloods”. She has celiac and collapsed on set. CBS decided she wasn’t ill and she was just trying to get more money. Does anyone hear the voice of Les Moonves in “let the bitch go?” rather than get her back to work, as she…

“Race baiting” is one of those phrases that lets you know the person who said it doesn’t having anything worthwhile to say - like “SJW” or “too PC.”  It’s the verbal equivalent of a confederate flag.

The content of a game is political. If a game takes place during a war, it is making a statement about war. Games don’t exist in a hermetically sealed space where their content doesn’t offer reflection upon the real world. If games are art, they are making statements about the real world. It’s really not a shitty…

The tweet is directed at people who whine about how games should be entertainment and shouldn’t “have politics” or how they don’t want to be smacked in the face with politics when they’re just playing a video game.

For what it’s worth, as a nameless, faceless anonymous person on the internet, you’re one of the few writers in this entire business I respect. Not just enjoy, but actually respect. As a black woman doing what you do, I can imagine there is a heavy amount of choosing your words carefully lest you dump napalm on an…

The reason I read Kotaku, or Deadspin, or Gawker (when it existed) is exactly for the sort of progressive insights (or invective or mockery or pathos depending on the article) that you and your peers provide. Without that Kotaku would be the same as the general cesspool of gaming sites that are just marketing.

Two things:

I ask people at parties whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich (it’s not).
