Average age of its readers is 58 and it has a majority female readership. So I guess old white women are lapping up hate articles on someone they’ve taken a set against for... reasons

The Daily Mail is actually owned by one of the British ruling class, the 4th Viscount Rothermere. I guess he’s not welcome at many Royal events.

Yeah, the fact that she was a bootstraps Republican until she started studying bankruptcy and working with bankrupt clients is a point in her favor, to me.

Because the dummy is trying to keep the Confederate statues. He believes he is entitled to have it both ways.

Husky Bro nicknamed him “Eddie Dick Too” upthread.

Wait, so now we are punishing people for having the maturity and ability to recognize they were wrong and doing something to fix it?! Honestly, it makes me like Warren more that she had the guts to realize she didn’t align with the republican party anymore and moved to the left. We need more self-reflection in this…

That name owns almost as many slaves as “Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III”.   We couldn’t make up names this good (bad) for a civil-war era novel if we tried. 

This will change. Clinton was Queen of South Carolina, too, in 2008. When they move, they move big, and they will move soon enough.

I’m not familiar with Charlottesville: is this lawsuit going to have blowback on him? Will he be shunned or embraced by the locals?

Me after reading the headline: well, nobody wants their family’s past ugliness out there for the world

I had never heard of him before. Now I have, and I know he’s a racist descended from slaveholders. Well done, Ed.

Now who’s, I say who’s responsible for this unwarranted attack on my person?!

I’m from the South, and all this “it’s about heritage” garbage has no bearing in reality.  I’ve never seen someone fly a Confederate flag who wasn’t a virulent racist.  

Because the Southern losers like to pretend their Confederate heritage is all about pretty houses, Southern hospitality, Southern belles, horse races, bourbon and brave war heroes, without any reference to what their side was fighting for (slavery) or the fact that they fucking lost and can’t seem to get over it.

Stopped reading at the name so I could come to the comments. This name has slaves. Right now. In 2019. 200 slaves.

I love Vivienne Westwood, and think whether her designs look good are entirely dependent on who is wearing them, so I’m keen to see the dress! On a side note, I think Hayley’s dinner dress is cute and I like that it’s off white.

When in doubt, ask. And allow people to define themselves, if they choose. Obviously, that’s harder if you’re writing about a group instead of an individual person whom you could ask, but if someone chooses to describe themselves a certain way, then go with that.

Esther, you are completely wrong here. As a father of three kids in High School who watches over 50% of his kids’ classmates vape—most of whom have never tried a single traditional cigarette—I believe the panic is both necessary and well-placed.

The solution to a health panic is a carefully researched piece that includes several expert opinions and a look at the numbers of death, addiction, and harm reduction.  This is lazy and stupid and you should honestly be ashamed of publishing it.  Is this really what you want to contribute, to the world and to this…

You didn’t quit smoking. You quit smoking cigarettes and traded it for smoking a stupid Juul. Vaping is unhealthy, killing people, and hooking children to something dangerous. This article is irresponsible and asinine.
