Nope, not anymore. I know that racism has always existed. But there is a neo-racism in this country that has bloomed since we elected a black president. It's as if the presence of a black man in charge in the White House has enraged the previously quiet racists. And, spurred on by the right wing media and "code…

I paid off my 30 year mortgage in 20 years. It was tough at first but as my income went up over the years it got easier. The day my house was paid off my daughter started college. I paid the same amount per year to her school as I was paying to my mortgage company. She graduated with no loans. I then put that…
I look at the greatest generation, the guys who survived the Great Depression, won a World War, and gave their kids a better world than they, themselves, inherited. And then I look at subsequent generations. I have no doubt in my mind that they were better people than us-and better men than us. Do you think it was…
"Kheeeeeeeeeeeew! Kheeeeeeeeeeew! Hack! Hack! Kheeeeeeeeew! Ptew! Ptew!" Finally dislodged, then swept clean of his uvula with a practiced sweep of his index finger, the stubborn ginger pubic hair would torment Peter King no more. Satisfied, Peter leans forward and takes a long swallow of his grande, non-fat,…
Goodell needs to answer for condoning such an heinous act. he needs to feel the heat. You get 2 games for punching a woman in the face and then dragging her by the hair and 4 games for smoking pot? This is ridiculous.
Thanks. He's the anti-Shaughnessy.
I named my team "Michael Sam's Bye Week" and 3 guys in my league unironically told me I'd mis-spelled "bye".
Patriots. Mike Reiss. ESPN Boston.
Wrong George. Payne Stewart was in a LearJet 35. As an air traffic controller I work those above 40,000 feet on a regular basis. The pilots did nothing wrong. The NTSB theorized that a slow loss of cabin pressure caused a loss of judgement in the pilots before they, and their passengers, lost consciousness and…
Yeah right. If Sam were playing in a European soccer league they'd be throwing bananas at him because, you know, they're intrinsically better people.
+1, +1, and + 1 more!
Shouldn't the period be inside the "close quote?" I'm a high school graduate, avid reader, and I had an excellent 5th grade teacher. :-)
Why are you sorry Kevin got caught fucking off at work? Kevin, next time you're fucking off at work, turn the volume down on your computer speakers. Amateur.
I agree. You and I are sister and brother. Thank you for your comment.
Read the response to my post from Artistic Savant. We are not the only race that is mistreated. If you're poor in America, you're fucked. Whatever color you are, you're fucked if you don't have money/political clout. If we as a race keep insisting its a race thing the oppressors win because we have played into…
Replace "black" with poor and "white" with rich and you're closer to the truth. It's about class. OJ got away with murder because he was rich.
It's about CLASS not race. It always has been. And as long as the vast majority of people continue to fall for the 1% tactic of divide and conquer it will never get better.
Fifty-two years old here :-) I saw an interview with Bono when "The Joshua Tree" came out. I distinctly remember him talking about his inspiration for the album in general and the sight of fighters in the sky inspiring "Bullet the Blue Sky."
I am ex-military. I was married with a pregnant wife. As an E4 in the late 80s I made $12000 per year...taxable. My BAQ and BAS added an untaxable $10000 to my income. Therefore, we were below the poverty line (because they only take taxable income into account).
