Thank you! I was sensing a sort of parallel with that old "well actually" argument (regarding swastikas). An educated man, Hill should have known better than to use that phrase to express his views.

Call out Israel or outright wish it was gone?

Some nuance here, for those unaware: What Prof. Hill said with regard to criticizing the occupation is 100% correct, this coming from an American Jew. The vast majority of ultras in Israel do not consider the 35% of American Jews who identify as Reform as even BEING JEWISH. They are some of the biggest hypocrites in…

Yall.

He used the same phrase as radical groups that encourage genocide.

There’s no value in going full hotep because stuff that sounds good is usually misguided bullshit. Act like you’ve never heard a Rothschild conspiracy. Bonus points if you connect it to Dr. Sebi. You might get a call from Umar Johnson himself.

Is…

That’s not what he said. He said a Palestinian state where Palestinians have self-determination. From the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan river.

I agree that very often anti-antisemitism gets called out in bad faith when discussing Israel, and I don’t know if Mr. Hill had that intention here. But the ‘river’ in ‘from the river to the sea’ is the Jordan river. In order to create that Palestinian country, Israel would have to be destroyed in its entirety. So in…

Has it even been a week since Trump said “never forget Benghazi” at one of his MAGA rallies? All these people do is bitch about Clinton.

You are, James. This isn’t even the pot calling the kettle black; it’s the pot smearing its ashes on the kettle and denying that it’s even touching the kettle. 

James and his crew and the GOP will still be banging the pot about the Clintons even when Bill and Hillery have been dead for years. It does not matter if the entire bloodline was killed and shot into the gun, the Clintons will still be the boogyman provided humans are still around in 50-100 years. 

“This tweet and the replies are just... pathetic.”

Right, it’s not like every Trump ego rally is led by thousands of these morons chanting “Lock Her Up!” Otherwise normal people might have the impression that hurting the Clintons and Obamas in some way are literally the only things they care about.

“Mine was bigger than theirs. Nucular even (pronounced Bush-style - ed.). No one got a scarier bomb than mine. I bet Nancy Pelosi sent it herself. The casing was made of the Saudi journalist that Hillary Clinton murdered in cold blood. I saw a Muslim deliver it right to my doorstep, right here at the White House,…

oh please like that moron knows there’s a silent b at the end of the word

You know he’d forget the silent B = BOM

There was an (already debunked) rumor that the WH got a package too. I’m sure they put that out there.

Trump’s probably having a piss baby tantrum that he’s not included in these events and is going to go on Fox News any moment saying that a bomb was delivered to him as well. And not just any bomb, but the biggest and most beautiful bomb of them all.

It’s nationalism/protectionism/America first. “Foreigners are taking our jobs! They’re cheaper so they get hired more”, is the same argument the right-wing populists make. But when it’s the left that’s doing it, we’re supposed to be on board? This breaking down of groups into ever more narrow and insular factions as a…

So African actors should only play African characters, right? I guess that means Lupita Nyong’o had no business being in 12 Years a Slave since she’s from Kenya and David Oyelowo had no business playing Martin Luther King Jr? And what the fuck was British actor Idris Elba doing on The Wire playing Stringer Bell? (or…

I’m sorry but you’re wrong, and it shows that your priorities, knowledge and motivation are political/ideological, not artistic. Also, truthfulness in art doesn’t mean literal truth, i.e. your identity mirroring that of the character. It means being able to tap into the essence of a character, and that has nothing to…

I feel like some people wouldn’t be satisfied unless Harriet Tubman herself was playing the role.
