Sicilians get mistaken for black people all the time, so yeah there are white people that get mistaken for black. My friend was sicilian and whenever we went to skating black people who he had never met before would come up and talk to him assuming he was black. He had dark skin and wiry hair but his parents were both…

Well that’s not an answer, but thanks anyway. Kind of missed the mark there. I’m asking in the context of people who pass, not people who don’t pass. While it is rare, white people get discriminated against for being black. Michelle Wolf for example. If you are perceived as a certain race, that makes you that race for…

I know a lot of people who look at a trans woman and say, “Does she really think she looks like a girl?” They think she is trying to benefit from the easy life that women have and that it’s a snakey cheat. I think they are presumptuous in their willingness to judge another person’s feelings about his or her identity.

There comes a point when I feel we’re taking advantage of a woman with clear complex mental health issues...

So weird that it’s editorially permissible at Jezebel to be able to be born a male and then to say you are, and be, a woman, just because you wake up one morning and feel like it, but, same gender, different race feels - no way!

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of racist drunkles’ voices wheezed out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

It may not be the Death Star just yet, but we took down a Super Star Destroyer.

Agree. Many of us in California are center left, not particularly progressive, and Feinstein represents us.

And then we would all get to watch hospitals close left and right.

She couldn’t beat the 300th ranked man after a day of golf and drinking, how is she supposed to beat Federer?

This is a great post, but I still cringe when I see that 60% figure. The question was, “Is it the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage?” That is not the same thing as “Do you support single-payer healthcare?” (I’m not suggesting that you’re drawing that…

You take that back or I’ll shove this ball down your throat.

He is ‘better’ at tennis than Williams. In sport, you compete against each other to find out who is better among contemporaries. You can argue the Warriors are better than the Cavaliers, but there’s only one way to find out -in the NBA finals. Federer would win every match aginst Williams, so the only question is, who…

Nobody would argue Rogers is better, because it isn’t an argument. He is obviously better. No shame in being the best woman tennis player. I think you are just insecure about it.

Wrong black girl.

Why should you be surprised that he doesn’t use protection? The guy has never played defense once in his life. /deadspin’ed

First of all, I think you mean logical, not logistical. Assuming you do, there are very simple moral and logical arguments for capital punishment. It could be as simple as an eye for an eye (maybe you don’t consider that moral, but morality isn’t confined to your interpretation - from a logical standpoint it is…

Truly evil:

Here’s a quote from one of them: “What I did was an act of cowardice; it was cold blooded; it was evil. If the day I was found guilty...they would’ve took me out the next day and executed me, I feel as though it would have been a just execution.” (Don Davis, in an interview with KARK 4 News, which I found quoted in…

It really amazes me how people are having such sympathy on cold hearted murderers and child molesters and all other sadistic crimes that got them there. You feel so heartbroken that the inmates didnt get what they requested to eat?? Ridiculous! Why dont you ask the victims of their horrible crimes if they would like…
