I’m not saying it doesn’t have those connotations.  I’m saying that the failure to use an electric chair doesn’t cause the intent to automatically default to racism.

The “evil people” could be anyone, that isn’t me lying to myself. You’re the one making assumptions on who it is, based on a historical context that can be accurate, but isn’t necessarily applicable.

Maybe this guy was being covertly racist. Maybe it was just a stupid thing to post. Maybe he could have used a…

Trump has been President for almost a full term now, and you somehow seem incapable of comprehending that the guy brags and boasts and uses extreme hyperbolic language to describe basically everything.

I don’t even like the withered sweet potato, but this article is just silly... you seem to gone WAAAAAY out of the way…

Ugh... look, I’ve got no problem with giving some racist butt nugget the boot... but can we stop jumping to “racism!” as the primary factor in every thought, statement, or sentiment that passes from the human mind?

Yes, racially-motivated extrajudicial lynchings happened in America. No, not every hanging in American…

Obviously, a big part of the negative rub here is that the designers stand to gain off of this.

However, for a moment, let’s consider this as “art”. Wouldn’t the takeaway from this article be that artists never have a mandate to create or exhibit any work based on a tragedy, as any such work would benefit the artist?…

The word moist does nothing for me one way or the other.  Personally, I think I’m most repulsed by the word “pudding”, which sounds like a dessert consisting of puss and mud.

So you’re saying it is better to attract animals to garbage dumps?

Not all vegans at the same though, genius. Someone might be vegan in diet only, whilst another vegan might not wear or use anything related to animals either. Hell, I met a vegan that wouldn’t use camera film. So no, there is no “clear cogency and cohesion in vegan belief.”

Never mind reading comprehension, you clearly…

I never understood why so many people are so put off by the word “moist”.  There are much more unpleasant words.  “Pudding”, for example... because who doesn’t love their food described by a word that appears to be half pus, half mud?

I’m just going to leave this alone at this point.  The conversation has grown increasingly lengthy in response from both sides, but at least it was a mostly pleasant conversation.

So if the concern is that food scraps will attract animals into areas they usually don’t go, why WOULD we STOP throwing this stuff around the woods? The alternative is to send all your food scraps to the garbage dump, where the animals will then be attracted to a toxic dump full of plastic bits, sharp scrap metal, and…

Not the functional difference, the LEGAL difference.  It is quite silly for the judge to be like “Vegetarians are a protected class... but vegans may be.”

I don’t think the problem with Bernie is that he looks angry.  I think the problem with Bernie is that, to paraphrase SNL, he looks like the college professor that doesn’t even own a briefcase, and just carries all his notes and work in disheveled arm-fulls.

The Republicans love the working class people. Or rather, they love talking about how many jobs they can provide for them. Granted, they don’t want the working class to really have any benefits. Or retirement. Or social security. Or healthcare. Or a living wage. Or the ability to unionize...

Okay, so I guess what I’m…

And I am telling you that you cant do one without the other.

When you say it replaces all currently welfare programs, does that include both Medicare and SS?  Because it doesn’t really seem like seniors presently getting Medicare and SS would come out ahead if they get $1,000 a month in place of both.  I could be wrong, but a senior getting $1,000 a month to take care of their…

I feel sort of bad for Biden. I seems to me like he didn’t particularly care one way or the other to actually run for President at this point, but forces in the Democratic party were like “Nope, we’re pushing for you to be our guy, so put your suit on and get your butt on the campaign trail.”

I’m all for the idea of UBI, but in practice, I can’t figure out how it would even come remotely close to working. $12,000 a year sounds great, but for every American adult? There are over 209,000,000 adults in the US, that would cost over $2.5 trillion a year...

Racism has nothing to do with who is and who isn’t in power.

Regardless of your skin color, if you think another race is inherently inferior, you are racist. You could also think a race entirely different than your own is superior, and that would also make you a racist.

For example, Ghandi lived during a time when the…
