They talk like this all the time. “I’m not posh because I went to school with a Saudi Prince”. George Osborne basically said that he wasn’t posh because at his school, there were the children who had parents of middle class status. Solicitors from Kew. That is basically saying “white lawyers from Park Slope” as…

I don’t know with this. Many private schools are gender segregated - I went to one. Some private schools, like Haberdashers Askes has Habs boys and Habs girls. It’s not at all the case that the boys’ schools are better than the girls’ - in terms of grade output Eton actually ranks about 15th in the country and the top…

I love Serenity, I would never forgive FOX for canceling Firefly after 1 season, it should last at least 20 seasons

I agree and I think those are important questions to ask. When I first read about the story, I remember thinking that it sounded really suspicious to me. In short, I wanted to know more. I did not automatically believe the black women. But I never said that to anyone because I was so afraid of people labeling me as a…

If your example is drawn from 50+ years ago, you aren’t really proving your point.

I also think it’s interesting that you use the term “rush to judgment or carry prejudice against people based on race or gender.” But that’s exactly what occurred here. Three black women said they were victims of a hate crime, and we all rushed to the judgment that it must be true. We tweeted our support for them, the…

“what could’ve incited the women accused of assault”

Ahhh, so the victim was asking for it?

This is pretty victim blamey.

Still, there’s debate over whether the video of the incident released tells the full story about what could’ve incited the women accused of assault.

Nothing someone says to you can justify assault. We actually have a legal term for this: Provocation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provocati…).

This is why people need to stop rushing to humiliate and trash people publicly and instead wait for actual information to surface before reacting to stuff like this.

Regardless of what anyone SAID, physical violence isn’t justified. Isn’t that what everyone is taught today starting in kindergarten?

To be fair, if some white students lied about being attacked by black students, you guys would go apeshit. I think the backlash has been more than fair considering.

I think what scares most of the GOP establishment is that the true republicans, the ones that honestly believe in the sanctity of the constitution and its amendments, have felt their voting base believed the same.

As much fun as it is to watch the GOP freak out, this maniac should not be this close to any public office. It doesn't matter if everyone is sure that the Democrats can beat him, he should not be in a position to potentially become POTUS. I'm scared and I'm not even American.

She was the only reason that I gave Glee a chance.

Why should black people strive to ensure diversity for all? Same reason White people should. Chris Rock is on the stage with access to the audience. He has the privilege of addressing whole Hollywood, so it only makes sense he does so for all.

The kid won the contest, though. Ergo, he was more deserving.

Do guys regularly outperform you in your field?

Maybe because limiting it to females would have been exclusionary, discriminatory and not in keeping with the values of diversity?
