Agreed. As a point of comparison, there’s substantial disagreement about whether the 1935 Social Security Act’s exclusion of farm workers was racist (farm workers were 65%+ African American) or whether it was utilitarian (no one knew how the heck to register farm workers in the sticks).

Hopefully none, if they can get a preliminary injunction while litigation is pending.

It’s a strawman because that’s not at all what the legal requirement is here.

I know its about the 50th most important thing, but it is infuriating that police reports use passive voice to avoid even the suggestion of liability.

His jersey sales were through the roof after his protest started, and well into the time when he wasn’t even on a roster. Why does the NFL care if some people burn their jerseys?

“Should the NFL be legally obligated to hire him because he is “good enough to start” though?”

Give him a break, he’s still basking

This is basically CNN every evening, except with more fur.

I’m sure you don’t want to get into it with the learned elders, but from all of the accounts, the girl in question was completely reasonable and only told him off after he wouldn’t leave her alone.

Yuuuuup

“there is an actual history of the black community legit loving kung fu movies.” Also known as, one of the first ways I bonded with my African American father in law. 

My comment below goes into it a little, but Wu Tang, while some of their references are a little cringe-worthy, are generally making their references for a reason; the samples they chose were selected for a reason; the names they chosen are referential and selected for a reason. They clearly know as much about kung fu…

This is a 100% mess, which is usually a sign of appropriation in a bad way. I’m Chinese and there are elements I recognize as Chinese, some are Japanese, some are . . . I guess what Americans consider one or the other?

Hate speech is not, in and of itself, a crime.

Not sure if it is what you are referencing, but in the first season, Maeve is on the operating table and one of the techs (Felix or Sylvester I think) says that she has MRSA in her abdomen.

Tiny correction - the Kingdom Choir sang “Stand by Me,” not “Lean on Me.”

With liberty and justice and guns for all

Actually, people often have trouble controlling their emotions after traumatic events. It’s completely natural.
