I actually saw a Harley with a Jesus once at a con. She still called him Mistah J. It was hilarious.

I think the hilarity of the Taylor Swift fiasco is overshadowing the racial aspect of it. A not-insignificant part of Swift’s rise stemmed from people wanting to protect her from the black man who repeatedly victimized her. Swift doesn’t strike me as a particularly stupid person and I’m sure she’s aware of this fact.

Another former infantryman here - and I completely agree. Who knew we were such a progressive bunch! Seriously though, if advocating for the rights of a historically oppressed ethnic group to which you belong is a “partisan” political issue then we need to seriously reconsider how we define the word. I don’t see…

Old, white, retired career Army officer here (infantry)...I do not see ANY partisan aspect to this photograph. It’s a non-problem, and it will fade away pretty quickly.

This mock outrage is nothing new.

I can’t believe that we have invented YET another thing African Americans can’t do without being found threatening. Do not clench or raise your fist. That is proof of your partisan activity and you will be punished accordingly! What in the..??? Ironically, this is WHY we need SOCIAL activism like BLM, by the way BLM…

I am queasy feeling about how the black power symbol is characterized as just “a raised fist/nothing to see here.” What does it accomplished by divesting the symbol from its poltical origins? It’s not a random gesticulation and wtf else could they be imitating? Anyway, it just seems like a complicated/haphazard way to…

A question. Doesn’t the code talks about political PARTISAN activities? BLM is not a partisan political activity. It’s social activism but not partisan political activity.

The fact that you’re a former soldier and don’t see the difference between this and someone giving a nazi salute frightens the hell out of me.

You equating BLM with Nazism says all there is to know about you.

Is belief in equality partisan?

Yes. Mainly because that’s completely and obviously different.

Madonna has now entered Cher territory (Cherittory?). That was a worse version of Cher’s Turn Back Time body stocking. AND she didn’t even have the grace to tattoo or otherwise decorate her cheeks.

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AMBER ROSE AS A MAID OF HONOR.

I am rooting so hard for them. Also just think about how hot Blac Chyna and amber rose are gonna look at this wedding.

To continue a conversation begun, last night (anyone?).

If you’re in the US and are thinking of taking your own life, call 1-800-273-8255 (the National Suicide Prevention Hotline).

As a historian and an Irishman, I thoroughly approve of this. I mean, yes, there are some famously awful things that the Irish people have gone through over the years (the aforementioned research from the article, Oliver Cromwell, the Irish Famine, etc.), but the important thing to remember is that the Irish were…

As a historian I approve this clearing of the record.

I always pick Native American, though I’m 1/2 of each (Pipil/Catalonian). I’d personally go Native, if only because so many of us don’t claim our (often obvious) lineage.
