Of course Bernie Sanders can keep his ideological purity in his safe Senate seat, while the down ballot candidates this fundraiser is for get pasted by the gun industry, the Koch Brothers etc.

Lebatard wrote a pretty decent article on how to view the game in Cuba, but a glaring problem was his lamenting the “loss” of freedoms in Cuba after the revolution.

Lord...

I think he is very average looking. Go to any posher end pub when there is a Rugby union match on and you see many people like this dude. In their Jack Wills shirts and brightly coloured trousers.

Sounds like y’all are saying that Drake’s got enemies, got a lot of enemies. That he’s got a lot of people trying to drain him of his energy.

The good news is LaRoche and his son can now spend the rest of the school year touring with the Trump campaign.

cornrows are a very specific type of braid, tight to the scalp. but braiding in all it’s various forms is pretty universal... europeans have always braided their hair as well.

Hil seems desperate to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It’s funny, most of Bernie’s ideas are right in line with mine, but his style of governance and management is what keeps me from wanting him. His ideology is sound, but it’s also immovable and primary in his methods, which is not a good way to govern this country. The point Hillary just made about the 2007 immigration…

I think a large part of why R. Kelly’s career wasn’t affected to the same magnitude as Cosby’s is the fact that his victims were black girls. Very few people care about the victimization of black women and girls. Some of Cosby’s first accusers were black, and no one cared back then. Reactions to these rapes are…

We didn't expect Stephen Collins to be pious? Really? I only knew of him from 7th Heaven, I assumed he was a fundie.

Please. I’m so sick of Woody Allen getting a pass. So this http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2014/02/w… is ok because we didn’t “expect” him to be perfect?
And from his daughter (because despite his assertions, Dylan thought of Woody as her father)http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/an-…
We let Woody Allen stay…

Expecting someone to be “pious and perfect” and expecting them not to RAPE CHILDREN is pretty different.

When it comes to black roles, sometimes it’s not just about a black person playing a black person (ie Denzel Washington playing Malcom X). Sometimes skin color does matters when casting in movies. And frankly, skin color matters in real life as well.

See, that is where you’re going wrong, to you they’re both black so what difference does it make? It makes a huge difference in their lives . You may not notice it but Saldana is just dark enough for her to be black and yet light enough to be cast far more often than an equally or more talented dark-skinned black…

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Well, white guys who jump into conversations like this wholly ignorant of the basic facts and related histories are prone to condescendingly dismiss many things as “silly” and “weird.”

Oh, you're a troll! I missed it. My bad.

They believed she was the most marketable light-skinned black actress for the role. And just read all the other comments. Nina’s complexion and features played a huge role in her life. To give the role to an actress who benefits from her conventional beauty makes a mockery of Nina’s legacy.
