If Tim Tebow had skipped media day to attend class, this guy’s erection would still be going strong:

Young black athlete, with “character concerns”?
All of Boston Sports Media:

Yeah, this is a really privileged, I-got-mine kind of take. This just lets hateful people who are actively trying to cause you harm/pain/grief off the hook for their actions and changes nothing.

I’m glad that the cop did their job and protected you, but historically and currently the police as an institution aren’t doing well at upholding their responsibilities to queer and trans communities of color. I don’t think anyone literally doesn’t want a protective force at Pride, but for me at least, it’s weird…

For me, a real scientist/engineer will *NEVER* care about painting their face like a clown to conform to ridiculous societal conventions; firstly, just because of the sheer amount of time such preparations require. And that goes for men and women.

Counterpoint: Public shaming may be the tool most appropriate to change not only his behavior, but that of the next racist.

Do you... do you think the anonymity of baseball stars is an observation unique to Bill Simmons?

There’s a difference between a conversation and a quote. The irresponsibility here is mind-boggling - not just from an ethical standpoint but a CYA standpoint. I always record people whenever possible if I’m getting a quote. If I want a quote based on a conversation we had, I email them and specifically get it in…

Are you really arguing that white women have it harder than women of color? Let me go get you that participation trophy from the oppression olympics.

Why is the word “exploitation” in quotes in this post’s title? That implies that Aminatou was not exploited as the Angry Black Woman stereotype … which implication also contradicts the rest of your title. However – as we discussed last night at some length — she was exploited as that stereotype (not…

I am sick of people framing hatred and the actions of hateful people as “disagreements.” Anyone who imagines that Trump supporters, that GOP congresspeople, that ICE officers can be reasoned with and should be listened to & understood is being dangerously foolish and putting democracy and my friends at serious risk.…

I distinctly remember a classmate calling another (Sri Lankan) classmate Apu. Calling it “weaponized” hits the nail on the head so hard.
