You’re attributing far more agency to him than even he’d imagine. It can’t be possible he’s bad and trying his best to be and do good? Should he put out an album that features only black artists and excludes himself as penance? How come there isn’t a mediocre-to-bad white Salsa performer, or transcendent white Reggae…

Yo! +1

“The Tide came into the game with the second-stingiest defense in the country.”

Considering he had the cleanest unis going up against some badass RBs in a ruthless era, I’m buying it.

Was this a first draft in which someone hit “publish” by accident?

Pretty rich for the man who served as an echo chamber for Boston College athletics in the absurd dismissal of Al Skinner to be riding high up on his horse and calling people phonies. https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/01…

Charter schools are eating communities alive with their no-nonsense shit, but we need more takes about how being Black is cool and anyone who hates in any way is really John C. Calhoun in drag.

There is a class component to how people view each development: Blacks killed by cops and black killed by other blacks. The latter seems to be a fate that can be escaped through bourgeois trappings: “good”education, “good” job, “good” surroundings. The former, well, even the great Luis Gates couldn’t escape the steel…

And instead of being a bore, Belichick was a shit-talking, front-running asshole who egged a kid on Halloween for Snapping him

I thought after the Ghostbusters were done with him, he spent his twilight years at Diggstown, wasting away...

The only sectionality is class. Everything else is a waste of time while capital further centralizes. But I guess so long as the board of Exxon is 50% women, 12% black, Y% LGBTQ, we’d be moving in the right direction.

Ms. Greer is so fucking boss. She hates men so fucking much, that she ain’t letting shit slide, especially when they transition to women. You gotta love that kinda consistency.

“And I hope, for the sake of other fans, that no other franchise in football gets hold of the Snyder blueprint.”

Cameron...jesus...smh. Aguero looks like Aguero: Always having a good time. Xi posing like a man who runs the Chinese Communist motherfucking Party.

This kinda goes back to last year, when they had, legitimately, a decent ass team, especially for this conference. Kaep may suck, but there seems to be some curse that the Yorks are now paying for having a boss-ass run as they did.

Fuck the Knicks, but I’m already a fan of this OG...until he poses with and endorses Putin.

To say nothing of how inflation then was kept low, thus granting workers (like Genius, at the time) strong purchasing power while making what seems today poverty wages. In other words, Al’s take is even more horrendous as it can be interpreted as “these bums aren’t buying as much and that’s fucking great!”

If Repubs had any idea and consciousness, they’d take that fact and run with it. Clearly, Reaganism was so successful, politically (disastrous to the working class, but that was the point), that every “serious” Democrat since has had to be somewhere on the Reaganist spectrum.

Not just rural, though. Suburban, too. The segregation involved in the social engineering of the suburbs has created generations, now, of people who think their mode of living is natural, and that blacks would live out there with them if only they wanted better for their lives. Remember, your average Tea Partier isn’t…

Jim Webb’s point on Affirmative Action is no dog whistling. The policy caters to (petite) bourgeois non-white males, and fucks over working class whites and blacks and Latinos and women and LGBTQ. It’s a feature of class politics that does little to nothing for the working class, but is great in elevating the absurd…
