The white professor singling out the black student to speak on behalf of all black people is one of the more depressing racist tropes, because presumably, if not necessarily “woke” the professor usually is liberal and should know better.

I was not expecting the Samuel Adolphus Cartwright link to take me to the Mississippi Encyclopedia (whatever the fuck that is). Without the context of this post, after reading the ME, I would think that Sam was a national treasurer, not the fraudulent surgeon a-hole racist that he is.

So the Patriot’s Dynasty will have a happy ending afterall

Because we have more in common with the Billionaires than we thought

“The New England Solicitors”

So... is there more than one type of facial?

“In Rapaport’s case, the joke would never exist because no one gives a fuck enough to insert him into the joke. He is the joke.”

Uh... I’m not sure what you’re reading, how you’re reading, or what you’re understanding of juxtaposition is, but the quote certainly feels like he was telling on himself.

Big Booby Award = terribly offensive

There’s no real sensible way to defend this but...

You’re ignoring the fact he won the fucking tournament. If Kuchar and the caddie previously agreed to a rate, that’s fine, but there is a reasonable expectation to increase the payment when he wins the tournament.
