I’m not sure he’s being racist so much as he’s saying that people should stop making such a big deal out of things. He’s from the generation that didn’t talk about feelings, and didn’t discuss social issues like this. They “kept it quiet” for the sake of propriety.

He was married to a black woman, so unless he was living out some weird slaver fantasy, he’s not a conventional racist. I’d agree that he doesn’t “get” institutional racism, but he’s...well...complicated. I just can’t wrap my head around this guy. Sometimes he seems racist, sometimes not. I think he’s probably decent…

Please stick to car blogging. We all know which way Gawker staff leans and anything that even barely paints your Dear Leader in the wrong light will be disputed by you. Thanks.

Legitimate transfer payments between two countries (or two anything) aren’t done in the middle of night with pallets of cash on an airplane. They’re done using wire transfers.

And there are numerous examples of people doing “exactly fucking that” and getting shot / killed - because in such a situation, the police are justified in shooting the person pointing the gun at them.

Come on, common sense would tell you that if she didn’t have a gun the cops would have raided the place in minutes and not have a stand off that lasted for hours. It’s not like cops are the type to wait outside and sit around in hope that the unarmed person inside would walk out on their own. The only time they wait…

You’re right. We don’t know for certain. We need to wait for all the facts, as always. But right now, this case shouldn’t be something where we start screaming about excessive force. The preliminary information we have makes this look justified.

Agree and thank you! This wasn’t traffic stop or a guy with CDs. Aim a firearm at a cop and threaten to kill him and you're asking for suicide by cop.

How else is Gawker going to instigate a devolution into race riots in the comments?

That’s a false equivalency and you know it, considering there is real, actual, verifiable bias against African-American men. Wealthy white college athletes, not so much.

Sqarr believes that all men, including himself, are rapists. Anything that doesn’t support his theory is seen as rape apology.

Lol no you fucking cockroach. The only time waster is you.

Well he is claiming in the WP article that the investigator “did not interview witnesses he believed would support his case.” and that“Officials failed to advise him that he was entitled to assistance in defending himself and to a student representative, albeit not a lawyer, to help him out.” Those seem like…

Except, he was not tried in a criminal court & found guilty of a crime. These private investigations by colleges/universities are a horrible way of handling assault cases.

What court of law found him guilty of a crime? This was all internal to Columbia by my reading of it, so he didn’t have any of the rights we expect of someone being charged with a crime, including not being allowed a lawyer, or it appears call witnesses. The lack to “due process” in these cases should raise questions.…

I’m getting a strong “wannabe Winona Ryder” vibe.

But “perfectly fine” shouldn’t be how we judge someone who’s been planning this campaign for the last decade. I don’t know why we can’t address the fact that she isn’t a great public speaker. Michelle Obama is able to sound strong, sincere, and energetic in a way that I did not get from HIllary. When Nina Turner…

That was the wooorst. The camera pans over all the people we think we care about, and there's kind of a sense of ashamed relief, and then we realise that WWII was full of Georges and Betty Spaghettis. Penny Marshall is underrated.

Can we just stop it with these two? His fashion line is hideous.

But they are incessant fuckers. Think of the innocents!
