Great. I'm not good enough since I'm not straight, and I'm not good enough because I'm not bi.

He'll be fine. Ray Lewis is on Spike teaching people how to manage their anger.

Collier has an interesting...relationship with headlines and ledes.

Not in 1974. It was common nomenclature then. I also object to the characterization that it was "absurdly racist". Keep in mind that this was a different age and time.

you are stupid

I bet you're the kind of person who can find racism in their morning coffee

Did you find it equally racist when Darren Wilson and Mike Brown's ethnicity was the lede of every article written about Ferguson?

It was the U.K. in 1974, what should they have used? Black was the term used in this country. Should they go back and revise all their archives?

There are actually only two references to the shooter being black. If you read only the abstract, I can see that feeling a bit out of proportion. The full article, by Simon Winchester, incidentally, is interesting and nuanced, though, and certainly does not smack of racism to me.

I'm trying to understand why this is being called assassination rather than murder. The content of the post seems to suggest the latter.

She's making her arguments in a way that's intended to get a rise out of the Jezzie lefties (and it worked) but she has a point. This isn't some marginalised cultural thing that only poor ignorant people from the Third World do. Do you know that over 96% of Egyptian women is over 90%? Yes, 90%... That includes upper…

I'm lampooning the far left's blind faith to total tolerance. They are so insulated in their privileged cosy Western life, they don't think that other cultures might have barbaric practices which are totally normal. My point is that we should be tolerant to a degree, but highly skeptical of other less evolved…

Welcome to Schizophrenic Jezebel.

But what about tolerating other cultures, and all that nonsense?
