You’re looking for the exact opposite caricature of Alabama white people, the “plantation owner”. Same state, different end of the spectrum.

It is supremely fucked up and a horrible indictment of the culture of USA Gymnastics that a monster like Larry Nassar was able to worm his way into his victims’ lives just by bringing them some food or by asking them "How are you?" Fuck.

How dare you be good at what you’re supposed to be good at. I must stop you any way I can.

UPDATE: The NFL has fined Ramsey for targeting defenseless players.

Looking at stats on a game-rate basis, let’s compare this season to 1986 (a similar run scoring environment: 4.45 per game this year vs. 4.41). Hits are down by about 0.3 per team per game while Ks are up by about 2.5 and BBs down slightly. Meanwhile 2Bs and HRs are up. So what has happened in the end is that you’ve…

I understand, but disagree.  Walks are boring.  Homers and K’s are not. I think a K is much more interesting that a routine grounder or pop up (which I believe is a lot of what’s being replaced).  It’s definitely frustrating as a fan to have your team strike out when there’s a runner at 3rd and less than two outs, or…

Correct.

Fuck. Just lost my reply because Chrome crashed.

Yes it is explained in the article. And the explanation is rubbish. FWIW, I’m black. And I regard the “minorities can’t be racist” argument as utter idiocy. Obviously black people can and do express irrational hostility to whites, Asians and Hispanics on the basis of their race or ethnic origin. I’ve seen it all my…

A good writer, researcher and journalist employs ethics, ignores bias and puts forward all sides to an argument. Sarah Jeong is not a good writer, she is akin to a Tabloid Journalist who writes articles pandering to her peers, and to increase her social media followers - the NYT has employed a now well-known and…

I am physically disabled 22 year old white irish person who believes in equality, and being nice to other people even if you don’t directly know them. But I will not tolerate being insulted just because of my skin color. I don’t know her, but she is saying every white person ever is stupid, self centered, and just…

In a world where our Cheeto President openly mocks people, the last thing we need is our Media organizations stuping to the same level. It gets real hard for the NYT to call out Trump on his rhetoric when people on the staff of the NYT are doing the same thing.

The fact that you can’t see the hypocrisy in her and everyone defending her is hilarious. A whole lotta self blindness

they’re boring tweets.

That shows more about the quality of writers on the internet than anything else.

“...and threw a Christmas wreath on the door to the ground.”

It’s not. Hemmerling just leads a shitty life so he has to shit on everyone else to make him feel a little better about himself.

You’re commenting on the Internet.

Pfft, baseball injuries. I was playing soccer the other week when some light contact from an opponent caused me to drop to the floor grasping my face. Despite the possibly-career-threatening seriousness of my injuries I was still able to roll around quite a lot and after less than five minutes of treatment I was able…
