I read an article once (that I irritatingly cannot find now) that explained the difference between Alpha, Beta, and Omega males. If you can find it, it’s soooo worth a read. It completely changed the way I see myself as well as other men.

I agree. Maybe we should pull a Randal from Clerks II and “take back” a bunch of shit :D

I’m sorry—you must have misunderstood me. I was saying that, generally, when people use “well spoken” as a comparison, and the person in question is a person of color, there is, as you pointed out, “implied racism,” which is to say, “for a black man”. When they use it as an absolute descriptor, as in the second…

[NOT A DEFENSE, JUST AN EXAMPLE]

As NOT a person of color, I’m always conflicted as to which is worse: an innocent man of color being killed without cause, or a guilty person of color being killed (still, likely unnecessarily). Obviously, a guilty person (of any color) being shot is horrible and disgusting, but a guilty POC being killed only adds…

Literally my response to any situation like this. Don’t be a racist prick, but also think things through before you say them and give some thought to 1) should you say it at all and, if so, 2) how to best phrase things to avoid *seeming* racist.

Makes total sense. The world *I* want to live in is the world where the people who would make trouble don’t exist so we can just *do* and not have to worry if people are going to ruin things for everyone. 

As someone who has done a fair amount of live theatre in his day (and is friends with a few professional stage actors), yes. Very much yes. I’ve seen Off-Broadway and college productions where they didn’t even do things like that. In fact, both the time I saw Wicked and the time I saw Beauty and the Beast (both…

I could not be asking more seriously: I understand the racist overtones of having an an African/Black American portray a simian, but was this the correct/only solution? IMHO (which doesn’t mean much, as I am very white), as long as no one was passed over for a non-gorilla role, forced to play one, or required to don…

As a white man with a very, very black beard, finding quality products like this has always been a challenge. THANK YOU!!

I own the Steam version of the Genesis collection and I 100% recommend it! In addition to containing essentially every game in the library worth playing, it also has the virtual bedroom feature and Sega themselves have provided instructions on how to 1) export the games in the collection as ROMs to play in the…

Thank you and +1M karma :D

As a white person, pointing this out myself is all but impossible. I’m not assuming your race (nor does it matter), but I’m glad someone finally said this in such an eloquent way. Keep it up, brother(?)/sister(?)!

I don’t know you but Jesus I wish I did :)

Sometimes I want to join the conversation in a supportive way, but I always feel too white. Sometimes I feel like I’m too white to even *read* this blog :/

In the picture, why is ‘Presidental Candidate’ not in quotes?

What game uses the “it’s a match!” music? I feel like it was Reader Rabbit or something.

That too.

It probably doesn't help that their disclaimer states the project "is not for profit in any way" yet I imagine they'll try to sell DVDs and such. Also, speaking as someone with several years experience in web series production, $10,000 for a project of this scale is a massive underestimate. Even if they don't get shut…

God...I would buy the shit out of these.
