Giving a church $20,000 while locking away cash to avoid making payments regarding a disabled child born out of marriage.

Meh.

Agreed. I am NO FAN of SAS, but his series of 3 tweets on this struck me as perhaps the most common-sense thing he has ever said. And I can’t even believe I just typed that.

1) Where’s the strawman? Are you arguing black lives only matter when they’re taken by a white police officer?

Black people cannot criticize other black people on a Gawker-related blog.

I’m not a fan of SAS at all, but I don’t see the problem with the tweet. Please enlighten me.

“Every mention of a person on the Internet is not an invitation to post whatever the fuck you feel like saying about them.”

This is fucking rich, all things considered.

That's textbook: Label up, follow through, right on the sweet spot.

Glendavis Glen Ross.

I’m picturing the NBA’s version of Incognito and Martin.

Everybody! Quick, I found out he secret to keeping DJ! Tell him he is wanted and can win here! I got Cuban to spill the secret, that fool!

The Pontiac Aztek was a better GM than Doc Rivers.

Easy, just like the writers do. White religious people evil, all others good.

By far the best, most accurate description of Gawker ever.

I’m not attracted to Black people either, and I’m Black. I also have known quite a few other people who either expressed or demonstrated a marked preference for one (or two) ethnicity over others.
