If you refer to a black person as an “ape” there is no way in HELL you are not being racist. I’m sorry. This is not a case of “you misread my comment thooo.” It’s blatant racism.

He will be in January bitch

We ran a candidate whom everyone hates and when she lost, our response has largely been to get angry that people failed to get on board with her.

IMO the Democrats got crushed for several reasons:

I’m so pissed that James Comey forced her to set up her own email server, in defiance of the rules.

I love Hillary, I voted for her without reservations, I cried when she lost.

I think she’s done running, and I don’t blame her. She’ll be 73. Let the woman relax. ;)

i hate him and i have been crying/not sleeping since the election, but i don’t support this. it sets a dangerous precedent for changing the rules after the fact when one group doesn’t like the result. obama lost the popular vote but won the electoral college, and trump suggested doing this.

I mean, this is what he’s saying basically.

This is the best and most important thing you’ve written on here in quite some time. Thank you for it. I hope the people in charge of news media organizations are listening, though I suspect they are not.

This is the first time since HamNo came to Deadspin that I haven’t regretted clicking on an article of his.

Florida has nearly 20 million people, of which almost 13 million are registered voters. 4,55 million Republicans, 4,88 million Democrats.

Basically, living in a major city gives you access to the culture of those that directly control the country. It could even be said that the shifts in what is considered offensive language is a way to make sure that there’s a pretext to dismiss those from areas that find out what’s newly  offensive (let’s say AA…

But it also needs economic diversity, a diversity of background and class, and this has been a resolute blind spot.

This is the best analysis I’ve read of what makes millions of Americans despise organizations like the NYT. They read pieces like that one about the Midwest that you linked and rightfully resent the shit out of it.

It’s more than just an elitist media—there’s a well-embraced classism amongst educated people who live in big cities. The interesting thing, to me, is that most of those big city intelligentsia actually come from more humble upbringings, small towns, and have experienced a lot of racism and ignorance first hand, close…

I’ll second this comment. The intellectual honesty of your news room becomes a half measure when you don’t specifically look for a variety of world views. Gawker is a good example: they’ve employed the talents of many different people from many different backgrounds and areas of the country, yet they’ve almost…

She spent all her time and effort in Philadelphia, maybe she should have spent some time in Erie. Pennsylvania is a big state!

#2 is spot on, and not getting nearly the coverage here it deserves. Trump won the three Rust Belt states by a total of about 100,000 votes, because he actually spoke to them. Three states that Hillary pretty much ignored because they have been blue the last 30 years. The one thing that Trump made a modicum of…

Queens IS one of the most diverse places on Earth, but isn’t that part of the problem? The majority of Trump voters don’t live in places with dope Ethiopian and Georgian restaurants right next to each other; they live in places where Applebee’s is the hot spot
