But racial profiling is NOT a secondary concern to a black man driving through an upper-class white neighborhood.

Here's my point: you have the privilege of treating race, gender and sexuality as secondary + tertiary concerns. Others do not.
I made some criticisms of Hillary here and got called "racist". Their reasoning being that by criticising Hillary I was supporting Trump, and to support Trump was to be a racist. You'll see as easily as me there are several things to criticise in that but I chose to start with the obvious flaw that just because you…
That sounds a lot like someone who started off condemning the film for glorifying fascism and then refused to budge from their position when it was pointed out to them that they'd missed the point.
But it's a valid notion that nobody should have the power to decide which opinions are valid to be heard or not. Unless of course you want to tell us which authority we should trust with that.
Which works when the government is the most powerful entity in control of communication. But that hasn't been true in a long time. Defining censorship as only censorship when the government does it does not afford the same protections in a society where the main platforms and means of communication are privately owned.
Checks copy of complete works of Chaucer… Wow. It's been dead a long time.
I saw Starship Troopers with a friend when it came out and thought it was brilliantly sharp and dark. I think so did everyone else I knew who saw it. It was only years later and online that I came across people who thought it was dumb. It dumbfounded me that people could watch the film and not realise it was satire.…
It might be down since the 90s, but you can make the argument that contextually the US is in a much different place than it was then
What made those lines for me wasn't that they were funny but that they were played so straight. To the extent that when her dad says it she rolls her eyes at his correction but then when he's not around actually makes the same correction herself. That's just so spot on the way a kid will dismiss their parents and then…
Don't say there are literally whores here. Just say, "Dad, there are whores here".
You would be a hoot hosting a Candid Camera style show… "He thinks he's about to jump to a dramatic and instantaneous death, but what he doesn't know is that the density of molten rock is 26 tonnes per cubic metre - nearly thirty times that of a human being! Let's watch what happens next…"
Trump showed significant gains with every ethnic group except White people.
I certainly think it must be horrifying to be this article writer if they genuinely live in such a state of fear, believing everything they just wrote above. Heightened relevance of "gleeful embrace of fascism" this year? "Gun violence"? Gun violence has been falling for the last decade in the USA and if you go back…
Wait - Lego Batman is a kid's movie? Nobody told me. Well boo to that, I'm a gonna watch it anyway. :p
Begbie is probably a police officer by now.
I'd like Germany to win in one of these movies for a change. I feel sorry for them - for the last half century, the German economy has been propping up most of Western Europe but every year come another dozen movies about shooting them and winning WWII. If we don't stop, they'll eventually figure if they're going to…
Jack Lemon - great actor and it turns out, great person.
Well if you manage to die of a massive cocaine overdose, he probably will.
You realize that lava, being just melted stone, is actually a lot denser than you are? You'd end up lying on top of it burning to death, like being strapped to a griddle.
