Where is the press conference discussing the $21 million in payouts for police misconduct that the Minneapolis department has been costing the taxpayers of that city for the last decade? Maybe someone should work on informing the public of that, and they can decide whether 47 arrests for $10 marijuana deals - or…

18% of the population in that area is Black. Over the last decade, Minneapolis (not even the greater metro area, but just Minneapolis) has paid about 21 million out in response to police misconduct lawsuits! The Minneapolis police have one of the highest marijuana possession arrest rates in the country. Another quick…

Nobody said anything about doing that except you. Have you been raising this concern with jurisdictions that happen to have all-white officers and employees? Because there are a lot more of those.

Your hot take on someone’s tragic death makes me ill. No, her example doesn’t illustrate your favorite morality tale about which form of feminism is best. Disgusting.

Are we saying “Fox and Friends” is a show with some other content or substance?

I don’t see how it does. You can love the game of football and enjoy playing or watching it be played, and still be mad that the college players have to play for free even as they risk their health and huge sums of money are made on their backs. If pro football owners respected and cared about the well-being of their…

Still not seeing how this remark constitutes an attack on Phillips’ religious beliefs. First, it makes a plainly true statement of fact - unless you’re prepared to argue that religious justifications and claims about protecting freedom of religion were not used to justify moral wrongs like slavery (and the rest). This…

When the story goes on CNN maybe that type of response is needed. Nobody watching knew who Pusha is. Maybe they know who Kanye is because Trump, Kardashian. Not because of rap.

I understand and support you.

You can say it all again but that doesn’t constitute proof. Can you please show me where the commissioners said anything that showed hostility toward the baker’s religious beliefs, or argued that it was merely rhetorical? Please read RBG’s dissent in this case if you are having trouble with this request. The…

His looks are what I feel every time I read the news these days.

The Eagles were America’s team this year, and apart from that I’m done with a sport that generates its labor force by asking young men to sacrifice their bodies and brains uncompensated during college, and then disrespects its own players. Football is a great sport that is being ruined in so many ways. I want to…

He needs someone to hold the “You’re Not Listening” sign the whole time, and wave it around every time one of those journalists starts talking again.

Paid leave? Paid? Why is that any normal person would be immediately fired for misconduct on the job like this, but paid leave is the norm in these cases?

Exactly. This is terrible reasoning. The fact that the statement is flatly true should be a defense against the charge that it was anti-religious bigotry!

Can you cite any kind of evidence that this is what happened? Because I don’t believe that man’s religious views were disparaged at all, and I am going to need to see proof. I have read the whole decision; please show me where any of what you said happened.

You’re right, and I lost touch with this piece when it became clear that there were pie leftovers. This makes no sense; something must have been wrong with that pie.

So true. If you want to get a window on the way “the other half” thinks, do a little browsing on Nextdoor. Fascinating. It’s like a mainstream TV news comments section made real with actual living people.

Not at all what I’m saying. Of course something special happened when traditions merged and new modes of expression and transmission were created. The point is: with some exceptions (like Native American music, for starters), the essence of American music is Black music based on African musical traditions. That…

This is so offensive. You’re willing to borrow the “expressiveness” of Black music, combined with “exceptionally White roots”. That is some kind of special bullshit you have going. I should have started reading from the top of the page before responding to you seriously below, as if you were a serious person.
