That’s a great catch, Kate. Thank you!! I’ve updated the info.

OK, I feel all of this and agree, but I have a Bill Clinton story (actually, I have a couple) that explains why I have a spot of gratitude for him.

I appreciate you posting the video but there’s no way I’m watching it. I can’t spend a second watching a child die, I can’t imagine how evil you’d have to be to work there and allow that to happen in front of you.

He had a much lauded career for another 12 years. In the last couple of years the Super bowl fiasco came into everyone’s consciousness and now his entire career is screened through that lens (rightfully because he and the NFL did Ms. Jackson wrong). With Robin Thicke there was a trigger and an immediate reaction to

My sister is an attorney who brags about never having voted her entire life.

That certainly is a novel take on the “I can’t be racist” trope.

“but you can’t hate what you ain’t never loved...”

Credit where credit’s due, I hate Carlson and his stupid face as much as anyone else here but he was the only talking head on Fox taking this seriously for a long time and may have been a big influence in getting the moron in the Oval Office to realize that hundreds of thousands of dead people would make him look bad.

Couldn’ta happened to a nicer pair of ‘Shuck ‘n Jivers’.

JJ Watt is just a decent human being. During Hurricane Harvey he raised the most money, over $32 million, for relief efforts and donated the money to several local charities.

Shocking news! video game writer and dumb nerd, Zack Zwiezen, doesn’t watch ESPN every day or like sports. 

I had never heard of this famous player before today and odds are high I’ll forget about him before the day is over.

Her light skin color and the buffer thats afforded to her are not her fault! So stop acting like they have to open the door for everyone else but stand back because they ain’t black enough to be here. It’s obvious you want to argue colorism here when colorism has nothing to do with her blackness. But here’sa coupleof

But did she not identify as black because she’s not aloud to? Understanding that the woke parts of the black community would quickly jump down her throat with both feet! Disecting her ancestry to tell her that she’s biracial when she clearly paid homage to her black lineage during her wedding. Let’s be clear. MM was

...groan.

You’re allowed to do this to your little sister AND NOBODY ELSE.

All the AMEN to this. Every year on January 15 I pester everyone I know to read his Letter from Birmingham Jail. I’ve been doing this for years. My fellow white people, when they read it for the first time, it makes their head spin. Dr. King has been so simplified and watered down.

Im a white guy, but I figured I’d take just a moment to create a flow chart to help out any other white people who were having issues:

Should I touch their hair? --> No

Ssssshhh! We’re only supposed to quote the “I Have A Dream” speech. anything more makes white people uncomfortable because it challenges their romanticized fictitious version of him.

I forgot they existed, so I forgot about that nickname.
