That’s not even really true, though.  His point has now changed to “if he’s good enough to be signed, someone will sign him.”  That’s the same tired point his critics have been using from the day he was whiteballed.  At no point in time was Kaepernick’s exile from the league ever about his talent.  Sure, he wasn’t…

I don’t know that I would call it a pedophile redemption film.  Yes, he is creepily infatuated with his daughter’s friend, and comes very close to sleeping with her, and then realizes he’s been an idiot the whole time.  Hard to see that the movie is trying to redeem a pedophile as much as show how wrong Lester had…

Hey, now, there are plenty of white people in this thread that love the joke and are not offended by it.  But yeah, a ton of us really do suck.  

I love Head of State. The funny thing about going back and watching it now is how you would never have guessed that we were just one election cycle away from actually electing a black president. And sadly, they called the reactions spot on in the movie. Like the scene when all the white suburbans are making a mad dash…

Yeah, but then you run into an issue of people still guessing the race of a culprit or assuming guilt based on race by pointing to statistics. Like, if a cop is shot, someone like Clay Travis could say, “ah, I bet the culprit was black because statistically more cop-shootings are committed by black men,” and that…

I don’t really get it. White people love to make these kind of stereotyping jokes and then act like other people are too easily offended. Then you do it to them, and it’s like the end of the world. One time a cousin of mine made some sort of off-hand stereotype racist statement, and tried to defend himself by asking…

Yeah, schools are starting up around this time in the deep South, not sure about everywhere else. Schools here get out a little earlier (the end of May typically) and go back earlier. I’ve always thought it was due to the extreme heat of the summer, though I don’t really know why there’s such a difference in…

Get your racist trolling dumbass out of here, please. 

It’s devastating and I’m sorry you are going through this. I’ve only really had one experience where I myself witnessed anything like this in my life, and it made me tear up, so I can only imagine how it must feel for you. My brother was an ESL tutor for the Tuscaloosa County School Systems, and I went with him to…

And even if those jobs are ones that other “legal” Americans would be willing to do, it’s the corporations and wealthy that should bear the actual repercussions of this.  I’m 29 and I’ve been saying this since I was at least 15, but we never do a single thing to companies that hire these workers.  Instead we just…

What is jarring about these characters being a different race in current iterations? It seems like a pretty easy thing to explain to a child. Roles like these were locked away from minority actors for like a century. Are other white people so fragile that they cannot share a character with their children because they…

Yeah, I don’t like the “conservatives are in the closet” stereotype, but if a “chunky” version of Reese Witherspoon is kissing and biting your neck and cheek and propositioning you, unless you are a really nervous and unsure virgin (which Douthat may have been at the time), you are going to be into that.  Maybe that’s…

Damn, sounds like I need to get me to a Renaissance festival stat. 

I mean it depends on what exactly Trump said, but just noting people who donate to his opponents in and of itself wouldn’t be wrongful in my opinion. But the issue of collecting publicly available information and summarizing it (which is essentially what Rep. Castro did) for the voters in your district to digest does…

I guess I’m having a hard time seeing how it’s unethical to point out someone’s political affiliations and contributions. They are the ones making it public information.  And if I’m trying to decide where to shop and who to give my money to, I can and do base it off a person’s bigotry.  So I’ve now discovered that…

Did you go scanning Chicago police reports or something like that to know that 55 people were shot there this weekend? I mean, if it wasn’t even mentioned in passing in the news, it’s a real head-scratcher to me about how you learned of it? No, I’m guessing it was in the news, asshat

Eh, I personally wouldn’t mind if people knew what campaigns I donate to because I don’t feel like there is any personal shame attached to supporting the politicians I support.  

I’m sorry, but if you donate to a political campaign, you are making a public statement about whom and what you support.  In that limited sphere, they are not private figures anymore.  They made a choice to get in bed with Trump, and that’s something that deserves public shaming at this point.  Sure, there’s a chance…

I mean, if you don’t want the public to know you support Trump, maybe don’t make public donations to his campaign? Is Paul encouraging anyone to be violent against these a-holes? Certainly not. The public has a right to know if you promote white supremacy and economic inequality and put your money up to do so.

But perhaps it’s best for some investors to leave the markets if the reason they are staying there is artificially low income tax on capital gains, etc.   Also, the tax hikes would presumably help cover the healthcare and education expenses that would increase.  Hell, we could also take some money that is…
