When I was 18, I wrote a paper on Robert Osborne and his role in film preservation. He’s been a hero of mine since around 10 years old when I began watching TCM when I was chronically ill. That saint of a man even sent an autograph picture to my hospital room once. It’ll never be the same without him.

This was in his public “apology”, too. He essentially says, “I grew up in a diverse community and we all shared our cultures. I realize now that someone in my position shouldn’t be using slang.” Fucking asshole, he still doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

Apparently conservatives believe you can only be racist if you call yourself and acknowledge that. You can say or do anything racist, but you aren’t a racist if you don’t call yourself that!

Right? And what the hell is “bitch” and “fucking assholes” slang for?

I’m waiting for someone to break out “ i’m not racist I hate everyone equally”.

Hialeah is teeming with racists. My Cuban relatives and all their friends, for starters.

“...and I am not a racist,” he told Politico. “I am not a racist.”

He was accusing colleagues (six to be exact) of helping get elected a Senate President he didn’t like. But, apparently, the Senate President got no cross-over votes, and there is only one black Republican. So, who he was talking about and accusing is a mystery to me and everyone else.

He was wrong and should resign no matter what. But I was so confused by this particular justification I looked up Hialeah trying to follow his racist logic - wondering, is it majority Black and he’s deluded? Local unique use of slang words? Something something? And no, it’s 75% Cuban. NOT EVEN THE RIGHT TYPE OF…

It’s easy to not be seen as a racist. You simply stop doing racist shit. But that’s too hard for these guys, because they’re racist.

By way of explanation, he added, “I’m from Hialeah.”

It’s a desperate straw grasp, he clearly has no idea what he’s trying to say either.

I mean...slang for what, though? I’m extremely confused regarding what he thinks he was trying to say.

so mant black friends. I mean, Ben lets me call him the n-word all the time and he is cool right?

I listen to rap and I have black friends.

“It was a slang term...”

“I am not a racist.”™

This is so disgusting apart from these drugs being used in a way not intended and seeing how some drugs cause unnecessary pain. These inmates being mentally ill and denied access to professionals is denying them their constitutional rights to a fair trial. There is also the unknown toll it will take on executioners…

there are some people who are truly evil and then there are others who commit evil acts as a result of individual circumstance. it sounds like this person never really had much of a chance to do good, with that laundry list of diagnoses. its so sad that we don’t seriously look to other means for people with…

It’s amazing the efforts these states will go through just so that they can conveniently kill people. Would it be the worst thing in the world if these inmates didn’t die? Is it really worth it to RUSH to fucking kill these people.
