The only good thing that came out of busing was that the poorer black schools that had white students bused in had a significant increase in funds to purchase textbooks, lab equipment, sports and equipment for the first time ever. Which is further evidence that Sanders was correct.

Biden, you dipshit. It wasn’t that black kids learned better next to your white child; it’s that they were learning at a school with your white money. 

I don’t think you’re pissing in the wind to care about this. While “recruitment” and “procurement” are similar in meaning, if one’s aim is precision, then “procurement” (with one of its meanings: “to obtain (someone) to be employed for sex (as for an individual or in a house of prostitution”) is, to me, the only…

No actually, the terms are not important. The terms that ARE important are CHILD and RAPE. 

Ok John, fine, he’s an ephebophile. Is that better? Do you feel better now that the mean ladies called the man a slightly more accurate (but still fucking odious don’t get me wrong) word? I know the terms are important to you.

He rapes girl children.

As someone who developed early (C cup by age 12, also tall) believe me, I know about men just deciding how much you “owe” them due to your appearance.

Their audience isn’t the same size, it’s bigger. 

I just take the shortcut and assume everyone who wants this to be a thing is a rapist or abuser. That assumption will probably be false about 2-5% of the time.

Threatening victims not to tell anyone what happened and swearing to anonymity for eternity is literally how predators do what they do in surprising numbers. Predators know damn well that if all of their victims came forward and talked to each other, those predators would be caught a lot faster.

if you’re a rapist, we need to warn others before you’re locked away.  unfort, you’re often not locked away so then we really need to know who you are.

Biden sincerely argued — to a black woman that just said she benefited from bussing — that civil rights should be left up to the states and not the federal government as if it was a local primary debate taking place in 1967 amongst Dixiecrats and/or Republicans in a rural Deep South district.

After going through layer after layer of this story, it’s crazy that NBA teams just continued to give Philo dough.

I didnt  time it, but got the same impression.  She seemed largely absent for the second half.

I love this.

Yes, I am going to be That Person:

It’s something that can reveal who they may really be. An automatic defensive gesture that denotes some guilt on their part for some shit they’ve done in the past or are currently doing.

I’ve never met anyone who says “Not all men” in any of its myriad variations who is not part of the problem. Anyone who injects that into these conversations is willing to overwrite women’s experiences with their own sense of entitlement that their egos must be taken seriously.

I think about the time I posted the Margaret Atwood quote here and got flamed for days from men who thought it of vital importance that I recognize that it is #NotAllMen. They cited examples of all the times they got rejected and didn’t attack anyone (of course they didn’t get rejected very often because they were…

Geev dat myan his ryekomend styar.
