Hamilton Nolan tweeted that the trial was evidence that Florida can't convene a 12 person jury without one racist making their way in.

Most black pro athletes are married to black women though

It's multifaceted. There are many reasons. Again, correlation =/= causation and your arguing that it does is stupid.

Because the assumption that less BW/WM couples means that it's less accepted is a dumb one.

First of all, considering the biggest thread in this morning's Dirtbag, timely article haha.

I <3 you so much for this. People act like BM/WW is somehow so fucking taboo

Which is somehow less acceptable than white man-black woman?

Kanye and Kim are a little different than yours though since it's a black man-white woman pairing.

Very few Americans do and fewer of them would ever admit it publicly.

Yes, this is certainly near rampant sexual assault on the reprehensible scale.

I was just thinking about this tonight while reading some of the Twitter reaction to an instrumental version of the National Anthem before NBA All-Star game. It's ridiculous how seriously Americans take symbols and rituals in place of actual policy that would help the country.

The fact that this only serves as a point of controversy on the internet and that he's been spotted at this woman's birthday party as recently as a year ago is a pretty good indication. Pretty old news.

That's a friend/former employee and they were playing around. He wasn't really hitting her.

A non comedic role where she is the leading lady and has an average size man would be true progress.

I wouldn't expect non-rap fans to understand, the music isn't for everyone. All sorts of "threats" are made during battles, as is already being discussed in a thread.

This isn't going to be a popular opinion on here but, I'd expect nothing less from a gentrified, corporate rap battle. They stopped it in the middle to castigate one of the MCs? That's not hip-hop.

Does each isolated incident of a moronic white person have to be treated like it's indicative of a wider race problem?

Can't wait for the flood of "Yea but..." articles from middle aged white male sportswriters essentially giving a pass to middle aged white male sports fans for lobbing insults at young black male athletes that are participating in a billion dollar enterprise for free.

Heh.

I was waiting for Jezebel to cover the ignored sexist/racist bent of this. White women needing protection from the untamed black beast. I thought it was ripe for analysis from a feminist website.
