So what’s next? It’s clear a lot of white people simply want black people to shut the fuck up, and a lot of other white people are willing to get out of the way. Very few news organizations covering this are talking about police brutality so the conversation is almost entirely about who and who isn’t being patriotic.…

They are shameless cowards. The lot of them.

This, this, this. Whether you always agree with her or not, what one can’t deny without losing credibility is that she’s bonafide star. Period. She was before all of this, and she’ll be one after this.

I find it hilarious when someone complains about perceived personal attacks while levying a unquestioned personal attack. That’s the good shit, Jill.

Reminds me of when my wife, who’s Hispanic and an attorney who graduated from a top law school, went to a family baby shower where she played boggle with a bunch of middle aged white ladies (in-laws of a cousin). Unintentionally, she utterly wrecked them, and apparently got some really weird reactions.

None of this is surprising to me; and I agree that she probably, genuinely does not think her comments were racist. However, you always have to remind certain whypipo, that it’s very likely that such things would not have been said about a white person (in this case a white opponent)...and that’s what makes it racist.…

I’m not asking a candidate to make empty promises. I’m asking them to take their big ideas and say “and here’s how the big ideas I have can help you specifically.”

Can we talk about his elation though! I love it. Smile right in that bitches face, lol. You can tell he was thinking “She played herself”. He doesn’t even need to do any work revealing who she is, she did it for him with that pathetic rant. We just got to let them cannibalize themselves because they can’t handle our…

How the fuck is anything I’m saying neo-liberalism? Is it neo-liberalism because the guy you wanted to win didn’t do it, and then he got his candy ass whipped by a shitty candidate?

“Love They Neighbor,” and “Help the poor,” were two central tenants to Jesus philosophy and are a part of the core teachings. Both were discussed at length in the Bible. Abortion was discussed very little, and not consistently negatively or even explicitly. But somehow they claim to know how to prioritize better than…

There’s the Ben Sasse crowd, for lack of a better term, who doesn’t really mess with Trump, even if no one sane would call them liberals and even if they don’t really mess with the Democratic Party either.

Then, there are the posers who scream Jesus just so no one pays attention to the fact that they show up in church smelling of booty and Hennessy. That’s Trump’s base.

If she’s upset at the flack she’s getting, then why in the HELL would you make it public knowledge that you voted for the shyt-head, boorish, SOB as POTUS? Most Christians use the term “Christian” like it a “Get-out-of-Jail” free card to excuse their piss-poor decisions.

“I didn’t really like either of the candidates, if I’m being honest, but I had to vote” - fuck anybody that prefaces their defense of voting for him like this. Also F her & ppl that are still using their religion as a crutch for not making informed choices & being terrible citizens of this planet.

Very good article. You were able type in a way that I wasn’t able to fully articulate my frustrations with why conservatives automatically think they are a party of Christian values. That’s not to say that Democrats are either, but they are not popularly linked with that ideology the way that conservatives are.

Whatever you think of Lin, one thing that whole incident should have reminded us of is to always assume Kenyon Martin will find a way to faceplant.

it certainly is more pertinent than throwing our lot in with the old white woman who was taking money from the very private prison industry who house Black people who were once referred to as “super-predators” and gleefully advocated for provisions in law that locked more of us away.

He convinced a bunch of white people that you could solve economic inequality without addressing racial and gender based inequality first, and that if he just addressed a few core issues (health care and Wall Street) that the rest of the issues with people of color and women would sort themselves out.

All Bernie did was convince a bunch of white people that their needs mattered more than the rest of the country.

So in part they’re not going to vote for a Black woman because they think it will lose them White votes who were no way in hell going to vote Democrat anyway?
