I don’t know, I feel like we keep saying that about various Republicans and it keeps not being true.

Always crazy that. Its like women who say that all women should defer to men, and that feminism is bad. Or children of immigrants complaining about immigrants. It always boggles my mind when people embrace the symbols of their oppressors. Its like “respectability politics” os maybe Stockholm syndrome. Its Just…

I’m sure he was disrespectful in some way. Everyone knows if you were disrespectful to an officer, they have the right to murder you (if you are also black).

Did he have any prior misdemeanors on his record that gave him an aura of criminality that police would instantly detect using their paladin abilities? 

Well, now let’s remember, we still don’t know all the facts. Did the kid speak to (or possibly look at) officers in a manner that was “disrespectful”? Did he have any prior misdemeanors on his record that gave him an aura of criminality that police would instantly detect using their paladin abilities? Did he have bad…

Waiting for those assholes who were just sooo sure the cops were telling the truth, who claimed that OF COURSE these Black teenagers were drunk and breaking the law and tried to run the cops over. OF COURSE this cop wasn’t lying. If these kids weren’t doing anything wrong, they wouldn’t have been shot. Because the…

in today’s terms being white period is being turned into something associated with evil, corrupt and terrible

Don’t get support from people then piss all over everyone and tell the few “oh sorry you got wet, it wasn’t meant for you”.

Reputable people cost money though. I’m sure one of the dudebros on staff had a half semester of event planning and that was good enough!

I started following this story yesterday, while collapsed in an exhausted heap after hosting one three-hour party for 160 people, with my business partner (she and I both former media execs, in our forties), a highly experienced production team, fully onboard musicians and entertainers, and a well-established catering…

Studies have shown that one of the few effective ways to change a person’s viewpoint can be achieved through a 10-minute non-confrontational conversation. So, this ad is portraying a method that does work.

I liked it because no one knew about the other person and they worked together to get something done and were then able to like each other as people. I get that there is a commercial reason for the ad but if you can meet someone and have a positive interaction then maybe, just maybe you can get through to them and…

That’s exactly it. Cynicism is not productive at all. We have too much of it nowadays.

I’m not saying turn the other cheek at all. I’m saying to engage. Fighting for ones’ rights is rarely going to mean talking to people that already agree with you. It sucks and its not fair but someone has to do it and of course I understand that not everyone can. I assume they are all actors anyway but the woman in…

Thanks for sharing; I had the same feeling as you. Kara, I love your writing so much and respect your opinions on the daily, but I would ask you to reconsider on this. I watched this commercial today and burst into tears (admittedly, while feeling very loopy from a hangover). I am a feminist woman and POC who works as…

Whatever, maybe I’m a sucker but I actually liked the ad. Life is complicated but some things aren’t - if you’ve worked with someone to build something and had a positive experience, why wouldn’t you sit down and socialise with them. Engaging with each other more and straying from our self-imposed “camps” is what we…

So is the big liberal plan just to bark and sneer until the biggots die?

Jesus Christ, get off your high horse. This is not the same as the Pepsi ad (for one thing, where’s the supermodel or notion that a carbonated beverage can soothe the savagery of the riot police) though I’m sure saying so gives you a bit of smug satisfaction. It’s a beer ad, yes, but at least it’s a beer ad that is…
