“Hey, I may be sleazy and corrupt, but...what was the third thing you said again?”

Just a thought AIBA, but MAYBE THERE’S A REASON YOUR REFEREES AND JUDGES ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING THEIR INTEGRITY QUESTIONED.

I saw a pretty good documentary about that a while back

This is what you get for not banning the entire Russian delegation, IOC. Learn the lesson and get it right in 2020.

Solution: remove boxing as an olympic event. Replace it with brawling. You lose when you are unconscious or give up. No judging, no bribing.

Why can’t it be both? I’m sure Penn State treated them worse than they treat white athletes because they’re Black. I’m also sure they raped her. The coverage around this movie will also likely be worse than it would be for the innumerable white rapists with Oscar-worthy movies because they’re Black. I’m still sure…

I wonder if you gesticulate so in the comments sections of articles about black men who are beat/killed by police after 911 was called on them by a white woman who was “uncomfortable.”

Nate Parker isn’t really interested in equity; he’s interested in privileging black masculinity and himself. It’s really ugly and I’m not here for it. If your pro-Blackness isn’t pro-woman, pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-disability, it is NOT pro-Blackness; you just want to oppress as you yourself were oppressed.

maybe. i’m interested in the work. i’ve heard the acting is fantastic. but i’m not going to pay him to see it. it’s hard not to be a hypocrite when it comes to consuming art made by shitheads

“I stand here, a 36-year-old man, 17 years removed from one of the most painful moments in my life. And I can imagine it was painful, for everyone. I was cleared of everything, of all charges. I’ve done a lot of living, and raised a lot of children. I’ve got five daughters and a lovely wife. My mom lives here with me;…

We measure the weight and severity of alleged rape against the damage it would do the accused’s life and achievements to acknowledge, but we never even consider what life and what achievements it robbed of the victim. Never.

fuck nate parker, fuck his co-defendant/bff/co-writer and fuck that deadline article.

To all the clever folks inviting me to offer the same challenge to Hillary, please provide links to any books Hillary has authored on how to “Kick Ass,” or the times she’s told her crowds that she wishes she could punch out a protester. Please point me to the times she's made an absurd challenge to someone in exchange…

It’s almost like he’s one out of two people who’s about to be elected to the most powerful job on the planet or something...
