Oh sure, but when I dress up in a furry costume and grab a small white girl in Utah, it's all FBI this, and Amber Alert that.
You know, I'm not a huge fan of the Gawker-style hand-wringing over anything with the slightest hint of non-PC, but this is a really odd issue for you to go to the mats over. It seems pretty clear that "thug" gets thrown around, especially in sports media, to describe black people doing something "undesirable"…
I think you're missing the context. They're saying he's articulate for a black. So, you know, totally copacetic.
This one is easy. Accuse someone unjustly of gangsterism and violence because you don't like their attitude. You may not like Sherman but he's done nothing to deserve those sorts of accusations. I don't hear the same accusations flying around about Riley Cooper when he threatened to fight all the niggers, even though…
This is Regressing, where the import of data are discussed. It is not the isolated use of the word that is interesting, it is the huge spike in its usage. Nobody is saying that you don't have a right to say the word "thug," just that the huge increase in its usage requires explanation. There is a gap between the…
Are you aware that anybody who equates black people with "hip hop culture" (something you clearly know little about, by the way) and refers to the "black community" is clearly not qualified to talk about the subjects at hand?

Pretty sure he ended up crucified actually
Travelling or not, she still drives a hell of a lot better than Laura Bush.
See? This is why I should know better than to engage. Stupid only begets stupid. Did you not read the part where everyone called him a gorilla or a nigger? Yes you can cherry pick people saying stupid shit. This is an OPINION PIECE in which a black writer saw a whole bunch of actual racism as it related to a specific…
Argh, against my better judgment I am going to engage your own trollish post because it is so clearly rooted in ignorance.
I'm not sure what he was mad about, but seeing him react with such emotion after a sporting event has caused a lot of his fans to tweet him messages of support, where they refer to him by his nickname, the "Knegger".
Idk, maybe the whole salutatorian of his high school class thing. Stanford doesn't hurt.
Come to Arizona: The Florida of the West.
White people are really mad, huh
