This. I am a low-level faculty member at a cut-rate state school and academics can be the biggest abusers of gate-keeping and rent-seeking behavior. Some will do whatever they can to usurp someone else’s shine for their own purposes without offering nothing of substance in return.

I wouldn’t trust Cornel West to tell me what day of the week it is. He’s an entertainer - the Liberace of faux intellectualism - and he’s in direct competition with any, and everybody, who’s not Cornel West. An old-school brother we used to call ‘Sweet Willie’ taught me about people like Cornel when I was growin’ up…

Tonk. That’s the real street card game...

Maybe the NYT, CNN, WaPo, etc should be doing more stories on people like Ms. Hardy instead of the umpteenth “understanding the Trump Voter” piece.

The fact that he asked them for anything kinda proves he must have been at least a little drunk tho.

A black person asks cop for help because they’re on fire and the cop will arrest them for arson.

America! Where every-last-thing is a hustle.

What’d my grandmother always say? You gotta love your kids, even when you hate them. I was a shitty kid and then a world-class sulker as a teenager, but if either of my grandparents ever resented me for occupying their time with all the unending stream of nonsense that we can get into as children, they never let on.…

If I were a soulless homunculus, I’d recommend that the correct response to the opiod “crisis’ would be a war.

And, he’s friends with Brett ‘Rapist’ Ratner, who was even involved in his violation of women. Between that and the Terry Crews thing, it’s easy to see who this man aligns himself with and what behavior he sees as acceptable.

We need to talk about white people reporting “suspicious activity” of black people out of pure malice as well. It’s a real phenomenon that needs to be addressed in tandem with police violence.

This was game theory at its finest. She knew the answers to the questions and led him down a path that exposed him for the golem he is.

She was 110% on POINT. But it will still accomplish nothing because these people are beyond reprobate racists and knew it was bullshit from the get go. They will continue as normal while white liberals purse their lips in disapproval but do nothing about it.

Black women are considered the lowest rung of society, so black women cannot have ANYTHING until everyone else has EVERYTHING. Only black woman and their admirers think differently.

An underplayed aspect of Obama’s campaign and Presidency was how fucking *good* he had to be to be the first African Americans President.

WOW. She speaks like someone who has NO FUCKING IDEA about what the re-entry population faces. The answer to reduced recidivism rates isn’t hiring the formerly incarcerated. It is a multi-faceted approach that includes prevention, diversion AND re-entry. You don’t just automatically hire a population that has spent…

Cleveland native. I do landscaping all over the city, one of my areas is the most heavily Jewish neighborhood in the area. I saw at least 50% more Trump signs in that area than Hillary signs and many of those were specifically “Jews for Trump” or something similar. In my experience (white) Jews dont have a problem…

Does anyone but fascists & white supremacists actually care about who is or isn’t a communist anymore?

I married a corny guy and I hope my daughter does too.

Im a bernie or bust voter that voted for trump cause i hated hillary and wanted an end to globalization.
