Right. Any definition of “sandwich” that encompasses all the things we consider sandwiches would also include a hotdog. But the word “sandwich” is not ordinarily used to include hotdogs. So a hotdog is a sandwich when ordinary use doesn’t matter; say you ask a foreigner if they want a hotdog, and they say “what’s a…

Your inability to distinguish between the situations of immigrants and of black americans is not an argument. I don’t think that every brown person on Earth is the same kind of person, and I’m not working on some generalist theory that whitey is trying to keep all brown people down. I’m saying that America’s entire…

Something that happened over a century ago isn’t relative TODAY, dumbass.

There’s a few reasons I called you a racist, and none of them are any truth that you’re telling. It’s that you can’t have any conversation related to race without turning it into a conversation about the massive case you’ve been building against all black people. You can’t have this discussion without defending the…

If no-snitching culture was a thing, there’d be some effect on the levels of reporting, because (1) non-fatal crimes are most likely to be reported by the victims of those crimes and (2) black people are far more likely to be the ones reporting crimes against other black people because they’re most likely to have…

Again, it does not matter whether a gun is legal or not for the purpose of a limited search, i.e. a frisk. It is constitutionally permissible for the purpose of officer safety, not to search for evidence of a crime. A legal gun is just as dangerous as an illegal one. Remember, in this scenario, an officer observes…

They can both take me

Discriminatory stop and frisk doesn’t make sense if you’re wrong 80 to 98 percent of the time (stop and frisk produced a weapon 1.9% of the time in 2011) and when you’re using stop and frisk as a pretense to search for drugs (which white people use at higher rates than black people). 

When the only person at the party who likes WWE is ironically homophobic and also insists that WWE is a real sport because wrestlers actually get hurt, it might just. 

It actually took me a total of 3 minutes, just spread out over multiple days. So I didn’t waste multiple days. I wasted 3 minutes!

Black people committing violent crimes at higher rates than white people does not validate the propagandist idea that “black on black crime” is a phenomenon, implying that intraracial violence is the exception, rather than the norm. That is false.

Fox News is exceptional, in that it is intentionally spreading ignorance. Of course there’s a white people bubble, but The New York Times still is not creating propagandist slogans like “black on black crime”—they’ve actively refuted it. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/06/opinion/black-activists-dont-ignore-crime.html

Yeah no where did I say or imply that this particular ceasefire was not being reported on. A shit ton of white people have no idea what’s going on in black communities, and propagandists leverage that ignorance of daily anti-violence efforts into an active belief that those efforts are not occuring; that is the…

I gathered that Hitman shades are a signature of “Hitman Hart.” I didn’t understand “the kid next to you.” I don’t know why a kid wearing idiot shades would be what compels me to call everyone and everything in that video “idiot.” I called everyone and everything an idiot for the independent reason that all that shit…

The “well what about black on black crime?” thing is perfectly emblematic of ignorance on the right. Because they live in a fox news bubble, they’re completely unaware of all of the anti-gang and anti-gun violence efforts in black communities. Through the magic of ignorance and the implications of propagandists,…

I’m with you there, and it’s unbelievable to me that some breweries don’t seem to give a best-by date at all, at least not on individual bottles/cans, or they otherwise make it very hard to find. The closest distributor near me is not great about taking expired beers off the shelves, and I’ve at times suspected that…

I don’t even know what that means.

If I’m introducing a hot dog to someone who has never heard of or seen a hot dog before, I would tell them it’s a sandwich. 

I started reading The Immortal Hulk and now MCU Hulk is even sadder. I never knew the Hulk could be cool.
