But it kind of is our job when they have no frame of reference in which to relate. The fact that they’re asking at all shows some self-awareness of that, and the fact that they’ve approached a POC shows they don’t know where to start, so they go to the source. Right or wrong, misguided or not, at least they’re asking t

Black dude here. I think one of the reasons we say “white person doesn’t get it” it is because unless you have immersed yourself in the culture, the people, and traditions it really is hard to get it. In America white culture is presented as the norm (TV, movies, magazines, politics for the most part) so different

The way I’ve interpreted it is that Margaret still wanted to be pissed about The Ancient One being cast with a white actor even after Tilda explained the reasoning behind it and so she responded with a childish “but... STILL”.

“In my mind, yeah. Because Tilda Swinton, who had no relationship with all before this, tapped her as the One Asian Friend and went from “hey, can we talk about this” to “oh wise Asian, please enlighten me as to how we can make the entire world a better place?”

I didn’t want to subjugate humankind to the whims of murderous apes, but after that email thing, I just couldn’t quite trust Hillary.

I genuinely went “... I can’t type the dash. So do I type ‘Spider Man’ or ‘Spiderman’? I could type ‘Spider Dash Man’.... no, that’s stupid. Let’s side with lazy and skip the space”

Electricity has been completely knocked out in some areas, but off and on in others, and people have been been moving around within the city to use electricity where/when it’s available. This is pretty common in a lot of countries (which aren’t at war). In major cities in India electricity goes off and on. Look at a

So, a Michael Bay movie...

Stop trying to make “alt-left” happen, it’s never going to happen

While we may not have any hard proof (YET), there is a 0% chance Steve Bannon has never said nigger.

This is the right wing, in a nutshell. I’m so sick and tired of hearing how they give a fuck about the people of this country and how it’s the evil elites on the left who are the real villians. The right care about power, holding power and using it to fuck over as many people as possible before they lose it. Fuck

That Bill Maher quote becomes more and more relevant:

Lauren,

That sisterhood comment is utter bullshit. I’d rather have men who are willing to discuss the uncomfortable issues and be true allies as part of my sisterhood than this woman.

Oh HELL no. Good for you standing up to him, the jerk. Along the same vein I was downstairs the other day getting coffee and a guy who works in my building was standing next to me and noticed the safety pin on my shirt. Our only interaction up to that point had been nods in the lobby, etc. He smirked and said, “Oh

GOOD.

What are you even trying to imply here? I think Hillary was pretty ok given the circumstances. I would’ve voted for her without giving it a second thought even if I do agree with some of the criticism she gets. I’ve been even more depressed since tuesday, and I have yet to find something that comforts me. And if I was

Here’s a computer simulation:

That’s because the amount of money bet on cricket worldwide dwarfs the amount wagered on NFL/MLB/NBA games. There’s a lot of money interested in getting it right.
