Nobody is effing lecturing black people for talking about racism.

I’m lecturing the specific ahole Kara Brown, who happens to be black, for being an ahole by blaming the sister for what her brother did, all the while acknowledging that this is unfair.

If they were trying to avoid getting pregnant, contraceptive methods in the 18th and 19th century weren’t very effective (when you compare them to modern methods), unless you count abstinence. So again, the point is moot.

Fair enough, except for the fact that harvest time has long past by the time November 26 gets around. That’s why nobody celebrates the harvest at the end of November, unless they’re living in the Southern hemisphere.

Diet and medical care have nothing to do with fertility. If anything, people from the 18th century had a far healthier diet than people of today.

Access to medical care has no impact on your fertility. Unless you’re specifically seeking fertility treatment (which most people who just want to know their chance of…

Erm, statistics of conception are supposed to be based on populations that didn’t have fertility treatments.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, you’re not going to go straight for fertility treatments if you haven’t even tried the usual way.

If it makes you feel any better (and it likely won’t) we don’t celebrate it in my family at all because when we first learned of it the whole premise seemed off.

To be fair, the whole “celebration” of Thanksgiving is pretty perverted (and I say this as a European).

At most, it should be “Thanks, Native Americans for allowing us to screw you over many times.”

If you’re right, then we get to blame you for all your shitty things your relatives have done. It’s not fair, but tough shit.

Yeah, most notably the omission that MULTIPLE elementary schools banned her from coming to their campus with her student-teachers. Funny how that’s also “evidence”.

You (and your students) SHOULD be frightened at your spectacular failure to comprehend what this case is about.

If customers were calling them out on the regular for mismatched prices, it wouldn’t have gotten to the point where the government regulators would have been involved.

To be fair, whichever of those scenarios is true, I don’t understand how people don’t notice.

I mean, how much stuff are you really buying there that you don’t notice your $8 almonds are ringing up as $12?

They most certainly do have control, given that a HUGE amount of ex and current Jezebel bloggers write for outlets like Slate, Salon, etc.

Oh please. All of their photos are airbrushed, save for the ones submitted by users.

Not only do I <3 capitalism, I <3 Hitler, and kick puppies for a living, too. Thanks for clarifying the non-existent nuance in your argument.

The lack of anti-capitalist and class based analysis that happens here is a real bummer to me

If media outlets like Jezebel didn’t have any impact on public perception, why did the school specifically send out this huge press release to address the incorrect allegations Jezebel propagated in their articles?

You become FAR less surprised when you find out that even the swankiest of hotels pays its front desk people barely above the minimum wage.

He resigned because he was pressured to resign, in no small part by Jezebel authors who are quick to jump on his throat as viciously as they defend Buchanan’s atrocious behavior.

You have no understanding of academic freedom and evidently can’t even form a coherent argument for what you are trying to say.
