I’m sure you’ll find a lifetime’s worth of it. With any luck, it won’t get on anyone else.

So you’re saying you’re a bad person. Which I think we all got when you came out with a white genocide narrative, but the complete disregard of others and the treatment of that as a positive thing really nails it down.

I’m not sure “science fiction author with tumor-driven personality changes” really explains things as well as you think it does. Also, you’re advising that the only effective method of change is the application of violence, which ought to scare the shit out of you, but which is also not true.

“Social influence and power” is a weird way of saying “violently enforced racial dominance.” I have a weird feeling your timeline for that “erosion” starts about 1950.

I’ve only visited Baltimore a couple times, but if there’s an area of town that probably shouldn’t be a priority for development resources at this point, it’s the Inner Harbor? Like, of all the places to apply resources “intended” to help people get housing and improve quality of life throughout the city, a district…

You’ve given my flip couple of sentences a more serious and thoughtful response than they really deserved. The response you pointed me to happened to pop up right over the one to me, and there’s nothing in there but truth. Thank you.

Imagine a world where the next time someone goes “You can’t prove he’s racist,” you can go to the tape, though.

Same same. This is the guy who ran the Willie Brown ad, right? Invented the term “welfare queen?”

Right.

I feel like avoiding being called a racist is about as hard as avoiding skydiving accidents. You have to take multiple, active steps (deciding to chime in with a racist (or thoughtless) statement, trying to keep black and brown people from voting, etc.) to find yourself in an at-risk situation, and even then, you…

What’s actually odd is how committed you are to the exact arguments put forth by the kind of people who instituted Jim Crow laws, and in defiance of the contemporaneous statements of Confederate leaders. An accurate description, in a short sentence, would be “The Southern states seceded because they believed that the…

That entire first paragraph is objectively wrong, and I’m not sure why you’re pushing revisionist Dixiecrat horseshit.

I’m honestly kind of excited by that. I like the stuff of DuVernay’s that I’ve seen, and she seems like she really wants to lean into the weirdness and bigness of this. 

They’d have to chain Kevin Sorbo to a rock and throw him in the ocean to keep his weird, reactionary ass from trying to horn his way in and insist that Hercules is an evangelical Christian now.

Gosh, and here I thought they were arguing that states had all this authority in the electoral process, and control over how their ballots.

Good for him. This needs to be said, and I’m sorry there was no one there with the moral courage to stand and join him.

A fair number of them would genuinely rather these kids go hungry than pay the 0.2 cents on the dollar that it would cost to feed them.

Everyone but the people slightly above those kids’ parents economically and people who are just racist enough to assume all poor people are brown or black is aware. Whether that matters to them is a different story.

It’s way more effective to continue it as dogwhistling - that allows his people to continue to demonize criticism of the statements as racist - “It’s not racist, he never explicitly mentioned race! Just the addled Left, at it again, weaponizing hate.” The white supremacists and average racists (and everyone else, but…

Republicans didn’t perform exceptionally well in the Senate, given how few seats they had that were up. I forget the specific numbers, but they had something like 1/3 of the seats in contention. Holding ground there would have been a victory - what happened was something approaching a tie.
