Oh fun, I’ll bite.

I am not a registered Democrat or Republican, therefore I am not a member of the political party that founded the KKK. With that out of the way: your rank-and-file Republican voter is equivalent to a mid-century Nazi sympathizer and your rank-and-file Republican legislator/executive is equivalent to…

> People hate pelosi, even on the left, hmmm wonder why, but she’s good at her job.

Some leftists turned on her when she steadfastly refused to consider impeachment after the Downing Street memo was released in 2006. Some did so when she began courting Blue Dog Democrats and publicly rebuffing more progressive House…

Fair enough. When that/those protesters are arrested for breaking the law, don’t go complaining that they’re being persecuted. This plays into the line of thinking, “If my cause is just, I shouldn’t have to pay any consequences for my civil disobedience. I want to disrupt my community, but I don’t actually want to be…

Here’s your actual headcount. Do you think this information changes anything?

In fact, on the measurable criteria he is completely wrong.

Not according to Google. They included the harassment claim once in a post on Allison Mack’s cult recruitment efforts; no mention of Carey in the title, of course. Check for yourself:

> ... and when (if!) Naya Rivera assaults Ryan Dorsey ...

People aren’t more narcissistic than in the 1980s. Or the 1950s. There’s a good reason why Narcissus is always represented in art, literature, etc. as a young man. Young people tend to be narcissistic by nature. Then they grow up and (many) begin to recognize the world beyond their own reflections.

> But what if that person is in a restaurant and it says that it’s alcoholic or is included in the list of alcoholic beverages on the menu? What if they know beforehand that some drinks may have alcohol?

> Does failure to do that mitigate the moral responsibility on the other end?

I certainly do not think so, nor would Marcus Aurelius. For example, let’s say that a teetotaler does not know that a Long Island Iced Tea is an alcoholic beverage and they become very drunk after consuming one. Would their failure to know…

> “But if you point fingers and refuse to teach, the blame is on you. That’s your failure, not theirs, because you’re choosing to neglect an opportunity to do good.”

You do recognize that you’re posting in the comments of a “what about?” essay that deflects from Weinstein’s habitual sexual abuse?

Looking forward to your campaign for the black community to shun Kanye.

Remember this?

This site is not meant for “thoughtful people in the world who can identify wrong regardless of racial over/under tones.” That is not its purpose.

Anyone can access The Root because it’s owned by a company that profits from advertising. Writers here get paid when readers click their articles and potentially see that…

> Because black folks have been convinced for centuries that their votes don’t matter.

This is what the black city councilwoman Ella Jones had to say after losing the mayoral election in Ferguson, MO:

> We’re supposed to just vote for the old white guy who tries to tell us he has a fix for all of our issues while not actually talking about any of those issues.

Most black folks don’t vote. Black voters constituted only 12% of all voters in 2016; many don’t register even in places where voter disenfranchisement is…

> People in the standup community have whispered about Louie for years.

Who? Name them.

> But if he ever wants it to truly go away, then he’s got to be the one flatly denying the rumors and saying that the people who ever talked about them were straight-up liars.

This is a Trumpism: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics…

When Bugs uses the word ‘maroon’ the definition is something like “an easily fooled person.” The most common definition of the word refers to escaped slaves in the West Indies, but there are other definitions that are closer to Bugs’ meaning, albeit pretty obscure ones.

The transitive verb form means “To be lost and…
