“If anything, it’s great the show could get Brooks the star status she has now.”

This type of shit is the exact reason that jobs are so paranoid about their workers talking about how much money they make. Not only have I seen and experienced the same thing, I’ve also seen how hesitant most people are to ask for more money when they’re asked to do more work.

I’m going to go ahead and trust this black woman, who works in the industry and knows first-hand how things work, that this was a bad deal instead of listening to some random white guy on the internet who thinks “pretty obvious” is a great whitesplanation for everything.

I hope that she remains a Senator, and does not accept any type of cabinet position in a new administration. If Massachusetts can get a Democratic governor in when they next have an election, then bring her in, but the Senate is too close to lose her seat.

I voted for her...

Warren was not a perfect candidate, but she was the most competent candidate this year.

I’m super surprised she couldn’t even put on a good showing in Mass

I’m super surprised she couldn’t even put on a good showing in Mass, don’t blame her for dropping out after that.

For me, this is the biggest point. That and, as you mention, how black folks are expected to be the teachers, unpaid teachers on their own time of folks like Pete who, when they end up suffering because they don’t know jumping jack shit about it, turn around and blame -us- for their problems.

Just take the criticism and sit with it why don’t you?

Flying the confederate flag is the same as flying an Al Qaeda or ISIS flag. These people declared war on America, they are enemies and traitors. Any member of the United States armed forces caught with them ought to be given a court martial for aiding the enemy.

I mean, he was a brilliant general who should be studied for his strategic and operational knowledge. He also fought for the losing side of the war, and the losing side of history, we don’t need to lionize his severe personal failures.

The fact that Robert E. Lee is still held in high regards by the US military is a testimony to the enduring nature of murderous white supremacy in US history.

Why was Confederate symbolism even allowed in the first place? What other military allows you to sport the symbols of an enemy they fought their deadliest war with? This would be like if today’s German military sported 3rd Reich paraphernalia.

She used the word specifically as a perjorative. If she really wasn’t racist, she would have said asshole like everyone else.

“As a person, I know that I am not a racist. I know that I treat everyone with respect. It doesn’t matter who you are,

Guess what Neo-nazis in Germany fly today now that the Nazi flag is outlawed? Yep - the flag of the confederate losers. Even Nazis understand that the confederate flag is racist.

Your reading skills are as bad as your lack of a moral compass. I do not have the patience or inclination to drag you out of your ignorance. I will use your idiotic comment as an example to show decent people why they have to get out and vote to defeat shitheads like your self and the asshole that starred you. If you…

Fuck you, you Nazi dixie fuck. If we have to come back down there, like my great-great grandfather did, we aren’t just going to burn the place down, we are going to stay and finally teach you savages civilization.

Remind me why we aren’t burning confederate flags? I know there’s the dilemma of buying something just to burn it but we can by these things at a fair or flea market for a few bucks. And imagine the joy of telling the seller that you’re buying it for a flag burning party.
