Who cares?  Whether that cost is market is besides the point...it’s just an interesting fact that they paid $60,000 for a character to be able to sing a snippet of a song in service of a throwaway joke that could have ended up on the cutting room floor.

So you’ve met a few prudes.  I’m not sure I understand what that has to do with this article.  It sounds like you aren’t interested in changing your drinking behavior, which is fine, so I’m not sure why you care whether the attitude of a few people is ineffective at doing that.

Lincoln didn’t just wake up one morning and say “Slavery is wrong. The slaves are freed.” Earl Warren didn’t just wake up one day and say “School segregation is wrong. School segregation is over.” Both of those men’s efforts, each of whom I have a great deal of respect for a variety of reasons, came in at the…

I mean, putting aside that you completely missed the point of my post, I wonder if you ever stopped to even think that the fact that so many of the institutions that were needed to finally codify various anti-racist policies were nearly 100% white may not exactly be making the point you think you are making.

I mean, the only thing Oliver said about Britain’s legacy was that it had a racist historical legacy as well, which is true.  The rest of your post is just a bunch of fact-adjacent, at best, attempts at comparing two different horrifically racist legacies.

I like how you say the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, and then each of your next three sentences are about how the Civil War was, in fact, about slavery.

Do you feel better now?

It was a great piece. Also a problem with the way history is taught is how we center white people and institutions as solving America’s racial injustices. Shit like “Lincoln freed the slaves” and “the Supreme Court ended segregation in schools.

The “key” to what?  Do you really feel judged as someone who, by my back of the napkin calculations, has like 4-6 drinks a month?  This seems like a very odd comment to make in the context of this article.

You have to risk your health, and your family’s health, to show up to work in the middle of a pandemic. On top of that, now you are primarily responsible for enforcing a mask mandate, which is exponentially more difficult because the country’s president has insisted on making the simple act of wearing masks a partisan…

Lol, right, you never specifically used the word “false,” you just stated, directly, that you have trouble believing his own account of his own experiences. What do you call it again when someone’s claims about their own experiences is not true?

What else would you call it when someone’s claimed experience is false? That sounds like lying to me...and you did say he was possibly being disingenuous.

And there it is, what was hinted at in your original post, “Guys, let’s not make the fact that a Senator tweeted the wrong photo of him meeting a black guy about RACISM.” Come on.

I know what you fucking wrote man. You think Bubba Wallace is lying about his own experience, because you have a shallow, self-centered, understanding of how people experience their own identity.

What is the point, exactly? That you think Bubba Wallace, who you don’t know, is an unreliable narrator of his own experience?

I don’t know who is still invested in this guy, but it is definitely time to stop trying to make Marco Rubio a thing. In his first foray onto the national stage, anointed as the diverse, principled guy to take up the conservative mantle against Obama and bring the Republican Party into the 21st century, he got outwitte…

What makes your comments less valid is that they are bullshit.  There is no reason to think he is lying about his experiences. You just want to be an asshole for no reason.
