I'm betting he's also not a fan of The Mindy Project.

^ This plus a thousand.
why is that kid in the middle black? there's no reason for him to be black.
I love how he glosses over All That and Kenan and Kel, easily two of the greatest shows of that era that also happened to be not square-dancing-snowflake white.
If I were Indian or Jewish, for example, and watched something where the characters are Jewish or supposed to be, and if it's not specific to that, then I start to wonder, "Why are they doing this?"
"That show is awkward because there's actually no reason for that character to be Indian."
Seriously, he's like the guys who thought Rosa Parks ended racism.
This reminds me of the white guy standing up at law school orientation during the cultural sensitivity presentation, and responding to the prompt of "when was the first time you felt different or discriminated against?" he said, "When I applied to law school, because I knew I'd have a harder time getting in as a white…
On Gawker this morning they mentioned that he also wrote a book called Rag Doll. Here's the summary on Amazon:
What's interesting is that this isn't Westboro or a hate group or a Tea Party rally. It's a random sampling of baseball fans in a typical American municipality. By their own admission they seem to want to just watch a baseball game and not be confronted with any political reality. What's more is how that general…
I really like the lip color.
Yes, not to mention the fact that it was the thousands and thousands of enslaved people who liberated themselves en masse within weeks of the beginning of the Civil War that forced the hand of the Union, precipitating the Emancipation Proclamation.

And you get to feel superior and write a comment about Deadspin dissing the Cardinals and their fans. So you win, too!
These people do not speak for the entirety of Cardinals fans, I assure you. The overt racism that has raised its ugly head following the Michael Brown shooting here has disgusted and embarrassed me. I'm white, I'm a St. Louisan, and I'm a Cardinals fan, and I don't blame anyone for hating on any of us right now.
Those Cardinals fans love dominant pitching, but will gladly settle for three Ks.
Sorry, don't have time to watch a 25 minute video.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry to hear this."
I don't know what "Requiem For Mike Brown" is, but these folks are singing a version of the chorus of a song written during the Harlan County War called "Which Side Are You On?" by Florence Reece in 1931. Pete Seeger, Dropkick Murphys, Ani Difranco have all covered it, among probably a dozen others. A classic folk…
I'm a black classical musician. To me, this is everything. It's peaceful protest in a place that one would least expect. It takes real issues and crosses class lines to confront people with the money and resources to make a difference in the repairing of structural fallacies in government that enable the abhorrent…
