Personally, I think it’s awesome you’d like to support a black business formed to combat racism over a business that has made it clear that they don’t care about the matter. I say go for it! I’m betting the founders will appreciate it.

It’s sexist for him, a politician, to attempt to leverage his political support into influence on a political platform? Not a very strong take, kid. Bad post.

Yes, also this from Anna- “Surely the response online to Alcindor’s question will be measured and intelligent though”

I’m 35, which is not even “old” but I get what the article is saying. We do do that; we dismiss the younger people because they’re naive and don’t know any better. And whether that statement is 100% true across the board or not, it is very sad that we look down at them and their reasoning. Why do we allow them to vote…

It upsets me most because there is going to be some horrific and disgusting sexism in this race when she starts debating Trump. Also, a wealthy white woman with a ton of social and political power crying sexism over any hurdle she faces rings false for me. Flashback to her trying to call herself an outsider candidate…

What bothered me is the “standing in the way of history” remark in the reporter’s tweet. Based on that, is Hillary standing in the way of the first potential Jewish nominee?

You mean the debate that Hillary backed out of? SO sexist of Bernie to make her back out while publicly begging her to debate him.

That’s what I don’t get. Instead of encouraging Hillary to adopt some policies that would benefit them. (Healthcare, income, taxing the wealthiest.) Every comment on a Bernie story is ‘shut the fuck up old man.’ it’s insane.

It is sexist for his surrogates to discuss “voting with vaginas”

I agree. They are basically asking, if a male opponent had the lead Hillary does, would you have conceeded by now. And it seems like the answer is simple: No, he wouldn’t bow out then either. Bernie has never been a traditional candidate, and his staying in the race has more to do with his conviction to his beliefs,…

I agree that Bernie probably should step down after tomorrow but the tone of that tweet is terrible. It makes him sound like a tiny little pest that’s tarnishing what should have been Hillary’s automatic and perfect nomination path. Which if we’re being honest, he has been, but why is that a bad thing? I mean, since…

he’s won by shifting the conversation in the Democratic party to the left-think about his arguments about social security, banks, public education, etc.

Out of curiosity, was Hillary asked if she was racist for trying to get in the way of the first Black president? I don’t remember that happening but I could have missed it. Has Hillary been asked if she is being anti-Semitic for standing in the way of the first Jewish president?

For real, though, that is an incredibly dumb question.

While tragic, the loss of this gorilla, we also slaughter one million chickens per day, so we can shove cheap meat into our fat faces.

It’s advertising. It’s not saving lives.

Ugh, it’s so skeezy how ad agencies ask people—especially younger employees—to work such crazy long hours. It’s advertising. It’s not saving lives. This stuff is not high stakes enough to demand that people bust their asses like that. A lot of it really just seems like something that’s done to inflate their own sense…

I run a small (tiny) business, and really, this law is looooong overdue. Pay people for the work they do or for the hours they work, and stop making excuses about how this will hurt - think of the people working long, hard hours for minimal compensation. If overtime is expensive for the employer in dollars, it is even…

The new black narrative is attractive to wealthy Black people and poor black people because it disregards the structural, systematic forces that shape our lives and gives us practical, personal ways to cope with them. In that way it is very much like a self help book- just another aspect of the American dream.
