Having a disease isn’t a crime. Knowingly spreading it is. Stop victim blaming.

So it’s basically like herpes, except for that myriad of life threatening complications that might come with it, the stigma and complications concerning ones private life and the costs of treatment. But other than that, no biggie!!

Black dude here. I think one of the reasons we say “white person doesn’t get it” it is because unless you have immersed yourself in the culture, the people, and traditions it really is hard to get it. In America white culture is presented as the norm (TV, movies, magazines, politics for the most part) so different…

What happens when you start a new job and you don’t know what to do? You figure it out. You do research. You ask people.

Same thing with fighting racism. You do some work yourself. Read articles. Speak out - use your voice to advocate for change. There are organizations out there for anti-racist white people - join…

I’m Latino and gay... and couldn’t disagree more with your comment.

That person’s reasoning is nonsense. The director made a judgment call. The goal was to be diverse and avoid outdated stereotypes that are offensive today. So they had one character Asian, another black, and another made from male to female and of Celtic origin.

How did a copy/pasted email exchange between 2 other people involve any bias on the part of Rich?

I’ll probably be opening myself up to some abuse here with this opinion, but I’m with you on that one. They were in a tricky situation with the character of The Ancient One to begin with. The original version in the comics was a racial stereotype, it would have been insensitive to use it. Then they had the issue of…

I’m wondering if she was equally concerned that Baron Mordo was also played by someone of a different race than his source material.

People are selfish. Almost all people vote in their own self-interest. Trump promised to bring the jobs back that have been long gone and probably won’t come back. You cannot argue against that. They voted in a last chance effort to restore their way of life. If you thought your way of life was ending but had to vote…

How?

i have never ever in my life heard of a cartoon as an honorary ambassador to the UN. we only heard about this because it’s a hot chick and people were pissed about it. i agree, it is silly.

The claim that 3rd parties “steal votes” is kind of dubious, in my opinion. Some part of the population is going to be dissatisfied with major party candidates, always, and they’re going to vote for someone else. There’s also going to be some Libertarian/Green loyalists that will vote for those parties no matter…

And you know that those people would’ve showed up and voted for Clinton if Stein hadn’t run, how? Let me remind you that voting is voluntary in this country.

Why do you assume all third party voters would have voted for Clinton?

Things that got us a Donald Trump presidency, ranked:

The Democrats are not entitled to Green Party votes.

This was, indeed, needlessly pedantic. It’s understood that when people say “the right to drive” that the mean the ability to earn the privilege of driving.

Well women have already been driving men for thousands of years...
