I absolutely do not have to admire that.

Why are the comments on splinter always filled with dipshits that think every single writer has the same opinion on every topic?

In the 40s and 50s the top tax rate was 94% for income over $200,000 (about 2.4 million today). 70% for income over 10 million is not unreasonable by any stretch. If you make over 10 million a year you have more than enough money and are just fucking greedy. There is no reason for billionaires outside of greed and…

Mueller didn’t clear him though. He didn’t recommend charging basically because he’s the President, and that’s it. Barr “cleared” him because he’s a toad.

“Cop” does mean universally bad though; if you’re a cop in the US you’re voluntarily signing up for an institution that, from its inception in runaway slave patrols to the present day, exists to enforce a white supremacist, classist, punitive system of “justice” that routinely brutalizes the poor and not-white in…

How, exactly, does doing what they’re already doing “solve this” when that they are doing what they are doing is the “this”?

As it stands, white people wearing dark makeup to appear black is the continuation of a practice tied to the mocking of black people, and often enslaved Africans, in the US. That’s the context for this. More context for this, which a…

Blackface. Blackface is not allowed.

If by “nothing,” you mean blackface, then, yes; it is not allowed.

Nah. Don’t do blackface and stop trying to provide excuses.

Just as a thought experiment, what if we imagine for a moment that removing the historical and cultural context is impossible and the very idea of suggesting we attempt to do so is wrongheaded and bad, amounting to little more than a weak attempt to justify repugnant racism?

Or we can have two emotions at the same time. That’s also fine.

Because it’s not like there are literally hundreds of other websites you could click on at this very moment to get Trump free coverage of this event. 

Just...just wear the clothes. We know who it is, the costume’s good and fine on its own, there’s no need to Blackface it up. Jesus, why is this so hard?

they know we have to hold the center. We have to go down the mainstream.

I'd take horny over hateful any day.
