I saw this story and just sort of stared for a second, trying to think if there was a different Howard University that wasn’t an HBCU. I even googled it to be sure.

I was talking about Van Jones with my brother, who made a fair suggestion: maybe Van Jones is cracking. Like maybe the stress of having to constantly be in conversation with white people about the election has affected him to the point he is literally grasping at straws to avoid going off on all of them. Or maybe…

Real talk Bioware has been reusing the same animations for the last 15 years. Like the classic Bioware lean! Ever since CD Projekt Red got in the game, Bioware’s flaws have become much more notable.

Missed the author’s name when I was scrolling, by about point five I was thinking it sounded like VSB. Confirmed before I got to the bottom by Kappa slander.

THis is a spoiler, but the location of the master sword isn’t that important. It’s shown in one of the memories that Zelda placed the master sword in front of the great deku tree after Link fell one hundred years ago- IDK if a different memory shows this is also where Link found it a century ago, but even then it’s…

Baldwin broke it down in The Fire Next Time, 70 years ago. Makes me wonder if everyone has to go through a nationalist phase on the road to understanding

Ah, white kids. Racists who have yet to learn when it’s right and proper to be racist. Give them ten years, they’ll understand to wait until their at the country club to really let loose.

This movie looks so good! If anyone knows more than me tell me, but I couldn’t think of another horror film that explicitly centers around race from the perspective of people of color. (Far too many horror films have the subtext of being about white people’s racial fears). It’s brilliant and it seems so obvious in…

I always remember The Wire: people can and will juke the stars whenever they have to improve them. It’s the problem with trying to drive public policy on big data: Everyone benefits when schools cheat, with the sole exception of the kids, the people with the least capabilities to stop the cheating. The teacher wants…

I was skeptical until I read the actual article, saw what you meant by “great.” Captures him perfectly. Ali won’t be remembered as a historical figure- he’ll be a legend like Hercules.

From what I recall, Smith has been one of the few consistently sane journalists at Fox. When it comes to tv news sensationalism, he’s honestly better than some people at CNN or MSNBC. It’s not that significant he’s speaking out about it, his show is the hour when the stopped clock that is Fox News is right.

I agree with you, the issue is for me is that the eyes of the law, the child’s life and welfare only matter half the time

This is not in any way defending abuse, but tbf, how you gonna arrest a man for spanking his child when you’ll let a police officer who shoots a child go free?

The thing that always drives me crazy is the folks who try and make a claim that symbols like a confederate flag or a statue of Lee aren’t a big deal, and therefore shouldn’t generate outrage. Like, if these symbols weren’t a big deal, WHY ARE YOU MAKING STATUES AND MONUMENTS DISPLAYING THEM? If you think Calhoun was…

Idk about calling the series ‘questionably necessary.” (I’m saying this as someone excited for the series). Did Dear White People have a ‘point’ that has now been fulfilled? I always saw it as an exploration of how people of color (specifically black) who find themselves in some way separated from their PoC community…

“Being right does not make it any less of a tragedy that two people are dead and I was the cause of their deaths,” he said. “I will have to live with that for the rest of my life.”

Also, I know this is besides the point, but aren’t Migos from a Georgia suburb or something? Like how are they gonna try and question someone’s authenticity as a rapper?

Oh, you would never want to FEEL like you were being racist? I’m so sorry you if you FEEL like you’re being racist. Ugh.

The rise of school choice is a testament to how creative racists are about acting racist while mainting plausibly deniability. Evidence was clear as day in 1954- separate schools will never be equal.

As much as I want to believe this sort of research will make an impact, I’m starting to suspect nothing less than a proclamation of God would be able to overcome white people’s capacity for self delusion. And maybe not even that- people would probably say something like ‘God really shouldn’t be weighing in on…
