Republican officials don’t want him to run because they know that a black DEM versus black GOP matchup, in a district/state that isn’t overwhelmingly GOP, almost always favors the black DEM.

Herschel would’ve had a better chance against Ossoff, but Ossoff isn’t up for re-election until 2026, and Warnock’s seat is a…

Klacik got stomped, Tim Scott is an incumbent, and all of the other black GOP who have won done so in districts and states where no liberal/DEM had a chance (for a variety of reasons, with one notable being a relative lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the electorate).

Georgia, as these last few years has shown, is …

Historically, a black conservative running against a black liberal is almost always at a disadvantage, especially if the black liberal is already in office.

Black voters tend to see it as a cheap ploy by the GOP to siphon off black votes they wouldn’t otherwise get. They often ignore that, policy-wise, many black…

While they certainly exist, Herschel is nearly in that pre-murder OJ position of not having been black since he won the Heisman.

As much as people assume that black folks are easily swayed by celebrity (especially when it comes to politics), the fact is that history has shown that simply to not be the case. Granted, we…

At least we down here in Florida can sleep safely knowing that she represents a district in GEORGIA in the House of Representatives, not Florida (although we certainly have our fair share of dipshits, including her running buddy Matt Gaetz.)

Rodman is one of the best basketball players of all time, with multiple championships at the highest level. He was just...weird. However, he actually has top-level accomplishments.

Sha’Carri has been good for about two years, neither of which at the world-championship level. She ran a 10.72 against middling…

Dear God, I feel for Nerlen’s as much as a can (which is not a hell of a lot), but what is more important?

These people signing with Rich Paul because they think he’s a super-agent. The only reason he’s in his position because he happened to grow up being best friends with Lebron James. That doesn’t mean he’s not…

USADA has agree to follow the guidelines concerning substances set for by WADA and World Athletics. Neither of those two entities are American: WADA is Canadian and World Athletics is Swedish.

USADA could certainly break away and establish their own guidelines, but then you’d run into a problem in that the Olympics are…

Exactly.

People most certainly respond to trauma in different ways. Hell, we’ve seen athletes outright go and pull out of events (multiple events, even walk away from their sport for years) due to it. But to either not know that you would be tested for a substance that lasts in your system for a rather long time, or to…

It’s still a big issue with Credit-Ratings agencies, particularly in regards to the 2007-2009 Financial Crisis (but that’s a different discussion for different day).

In reality, it’s an issue whenever you have independent or semi-independent agencies that are tasked with assessing the value of a good outside of the raw…

As much as some of these parents bemoan the negative effects that distance learning has had on their kids (a valid complaint, since many locales/families are simply ill-equipped for day-in, day-out distance learning. Hell, many universities have barebones distance learning capabilities, and they have millions and…

Your necro would make Kel’Thuzad blush. 

The thing about sports films, and why they often end up being light and airy, is that it’s so easy to get the sports fix by either 1. Watching the actual competition on TV (or the internet), or 2. Going outside and playing it yourself. It takes away a lot of the wish fulfillment aspect of why movies are so captivating.

…

In the South (at least Florida) it’s pretty common.

It’s the reason why you can drive off the lot with a car and a temp (paper) tag the dealership gives you, since it has the force of law behind it for 30 days before you have to get your metal, official one.

It would be an absolute pain in the ass to attempt to register…

I’m almost certain that one of the reasons they dropped Black Panther in February was to capitalize on it being Black History Month, and also that Infinity War was dropping in April. There wasn’t any other time that wouldn’t involve stepping on Infinity War’s release window. 

I enjoyed Old, but my God was the dialog piss poor.

There was one section when Mid-Sized Sedan was trying to explain what he thought was going on, and the dialog sounded like he was a 65 year old professor from Johns Hopkins.

I don’t know why M. Night felt the need to try to have the characters all explain what was…

I suppose the question is what exactly is Lamborghini meant to do. It’s a limited production car, it’s hearkening back to one of their most famous models, and looks-wise, it’s distinct enough from the non-limited edition vehicles to warrant a head-turn. I don’t see what the issue is.

Sure, it’s a cash grab, but…

Simply put, people conflate “body positivity” with eating and weighing whatever you’d like to weigh. They aren’t the same thing.

I have plenty of friends who are within that overweight/obese range of weight, and while they love themselves and are positive that they are sexy/attractive just as they are, they most…

It’s definitely sandbagging, but I think the issue is more the nature of the game (and the goal), rather than the ethics of sandbagging itself.

If attempts on these individual records took longer to attempt (akin to the length of an RPG), sandbagging really wouldn’t be a thing since we’d accept the delay in reporting…

And yet your one sentence initial comment was specifically about politics, without a word of concern about deaths or hurricanes until I responded. I can link it for you if you’ve forgotten already.
