There’s no attitude I find more repellent than aggressive hipster posturing. At some point people apparently decided that ironic detachment was the “cool” thing to do, and all it does is drag down everyone.

But why should these talented accapella singers who are making lots of money singing be ashamed? Not everyone will like them--I don’t--but I don’t get why they should feel bad or anything.

In high school, I spent too much time being “too cool” for certain activities and shitting on those who participated.

Meh. I don’t find them particularly boring and I do not find their lack of embarrassment problematic at all. They are just a bunch of enthusiastic and fairly talented a capella singers. I ain’t mad at ‘em.

I typically am Socratic in discussions...

I've enjoyed Mr. Bailey's work here so far but that was so out there I was wondering if they're related or something. I mean, yeah, there does need to be a conversation about how to deal with people who are trying to change and what constitutes an honest effort or sincere apology. But why frame that around Kevin…

It’s not like he didn’t tell everyone what he planned.

“The elite in our country is physically separated in a way that’s very unhealthy for a democracy,” he said. Rural America is “really falling apart,” he added, noting that “if you’re running the country, you should have a sense of that,” The Post reports.

OMG you read my mind! Thank you! No one, even other Black women, cares how we are talked and joked about. 

I’m glad to see the emphasis on atonement. One of the lowest common denominator responses is a sincere apology. And that sincerity is measured by atonement.

I am actually studying to become a teacher and one of my professors said something that your comment reminded me of, which is that when we desegregated schools, we should have required the hiring of black teachers from the now closed colored schools to teach at the newly integrated schools. Instead, most of them got…

Kevin Hart has been an embarrassment for a while now and deserves what he’s going through/backlash. What is now bothering me is why he didn’t face a similar backlash when he was insulting & demeaning black women, especially his slights against dark skin black women? How do we explain that?

OH THANK GOD. I thought I was losing my mind when I read that post. And for all of you people wanting to know, “what’s a brother supposed to do?,” this is from my response to comments on that Post That Should Not Be Named.

Well, part of JoRoCo’s issue is this:

I think it should be noted, Liberty Council is not an organization “dedicated to advancing religious freedom,” but rather an organization dedicated to promoting Christianity in every possible context.

*consults judges....*

right, this is like when rand paul was upset about the earlier attempts to “reform” healthcare, but only because he wanted more grannies starved. he isn’t mad that trump is evil, he’s mad that trump is terrible at doing it effectively. tucker is not in “the resistance” he is just mad that he got the mr. magoo version…

This is not woke Tucker, this is him veering further to the right into Nazi land. The far right has become disillusioned with Trump because he’s not making their racist wet dreams happen fast enough, primarily the wall, and he’s not antisemitic enough* for them. Tucker has been progressively moving further to the…

But Venezuela isn’t socialist either. It’s an example of failed, deeply corrupt, crony capitalism. Chavez and his minions looted an otherwise stable democracy while paying off just enough of their base for continued survival.
