" And does anyone think that with increased urbanisation, this will affect US politics in the future such as less crazed candidates?"

Yes, really the only women eligible to hold office are ugly spinsters whom no man will have.

Okay, that was a waste of time.

Replying to promote. The NBPP is categorized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. They have nothing to do with old school, anti-racist Panthers.

The only unreasonable thing here is this Republican position that men are entitled to any woman's body whenever they feel like it. That's the overall message I get from these remarks.

Thing is, I grew up on the West Side of Chicago, and Chicago is much more segregated than any place I've lived in the South. I feel like in daily life race is a bigger issue up there than it is here. I generally associate the kind of racism in these tweets with New Jersey or Boston. The pictures some of these kids…

You're frustrated because you don't realize what's really going on here. She's just not that into you. All there is to it. She goes on one date with you, has a nice time but isn't feeling a strong attraction, so to be polite she tells you she had a great time and would like to go out again. And then she blocks your…

I, too am joining the block party. This looks like the profile of a potential serial killer. All it's missing is a reference to his domineering mother. Masterrace?? Come the fuck on, dude!

Okay, I'm jealous.

Thank you! This should have been in the article. Here's what I just sent (non-anonymously, of course):

Wow. Sounds like an interesting cat, like maybe you should write a book about him or something. I interviewed my best friend's dad before he passed last year. He had a few "firsts" for the black community in KC, and we learned he used to photobomb Klan leaders back in the '60s, if you can imagine it. There are a…

You should definitely acknowledge it with pride. I wasn't referring to people of actual Cherokee descent, and neither was Sherman Alexie. My oldest friend and my ex-gf are both white and part Cherokee. In my limited experience, people who are part Cherokee (I think at least one grandparent had to be full? or it…

Add to the list: Jean Grae, Boog Brown, Miz Korona, Psalm One, Thee Satisfaction, Melanie Fiona, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys , Jordin Sparks, Whitney Houston. . . all artists I LOVE (except Jordin Sparks, I don't really know her music, but I know she's not a bum-wiggler).

Agreed. I bought Pink Friday the day it came out and listened to it a lot that summer, and I felt there was something deeply subversive about her appropriation of Barbie. It's more like Barbie Drag, a woman of color donning a blond wig and blue contacts, doing fake accents and rapping about bisexuality like it's nbd.…

Love Sherman Alexie! And he's so on point about white d-bags claiming Cherokee. Usually the "I'm part Cherokee" line comes right before something like, "You wanna see my pet snake?" or "I only smoke pot at night."

As others have noted, we Americans have used our talents for innovation to ensure paper ballots are not any less prone to being "glitchy".

You've renewed my hope for mankind.

Okay, that's a pretty creepy grandma.

I love this story! 99% of all paranormal stories end like this: "... and then creepy stuff happened, and we were all super creeped out!" Your story, however, ends with field sobriety testing and a team of first responders, who then get creeped out themselves. It's much more satisfying. And the Fatty Arbuckle routine…

Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod... I just almost had a panic attack when I saw "TN" "satanic" and "builder" in this story. In the early 90's my sister was building her dream house outside Chicago. The architect/builder she hired disappeared after construction had begun. It was discovered that he went to TN where he was…
