By that standard, the Democratic National Convention is an event with even stronger ties to the KKK and white supremacy.

A 19 year old girl ignorant of its origins is more likely. Not that I am condoning ignorance but almost any festival in some areas of the country that date back to the civil war era and reconstruction were used to reinforce white supremacy. A lot of time and effort are used to “white wash” this past. What do we do…

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Lol, what?

As an Old, I find “Let’s go!” to be an endearing, insightful and delightful part of enthusiastic commentary of recent years. It’s as if the folks up in the booth need say no more when describing an intense and unexpected competitive moment.

This is far too informed and nuanced a take for a generally toxic commentariat, but screw it, let’s try to rise above it because you clearly tried to.

Im not a huge fan of Biden but I doubt it. Our foreign policy has been pretty consistently imperialistic no matter who is in the big chair.

Honestly, half of the Middle East Problems are of the West’s own making.
We literally started a cycle of endless Muslim and Jewish hatred after the end of WW2 by allowing Jewish people to have a stake of their own land in the middle of Muslim territory.

Not sure what else to say, as much as we can blame Palestinian…

I am interested to see what the world decides the outcome of this to be. I am a Jew who is generally anti-Israel, though I do think the solution to the conflict should not involve the slaughter of any civilians, even if and when Palestine is liberated. I don’t know how that will happen, though, nor do I know how the…

They do.  The real issue here is the irresponsible parents letting their kids have access and leaving the key in the machine.

The only thing I’d suggest is that this line doesn’t strike me as correct: “Their first instinct was to react with fear...”.  I think rather, their first reaction was to act like they were in charge and that the person they were talking to was not their equal.

Hun, she didn’t wrongly think she knew the owners. She was consciously lying as a flex to put a person of color in his place, never dreaming for a minute that she was speaking to the owner himself. 

Probably because she didn’t actually think she knew the owner?

Wow. I had never seen that Alexander video. It’s not even the accosting and the assumption that he doesn’t live there (which are awful), but the way she’s explaining to him how basic things like property ownership and protest work. This is exactly the way I talk to my three year-old when he wants to know why he can’t…

These smarmy, disingenuous, misogynist nutsacks have NEVER given two shits about women. The people cut from this same cloth haaaaaate the ERA, had an absolute shitfit when title IX was passed, and their darling Betsy DeVos is gutting sexual assault protections under Title IX as we speak. So for them to whine about…

Last I checked Diane Feinstien is a Democrat and she’s one of the senators who sold of stock after the coronavirus briefing. So... Not sure why that’s an issue. Feinstien is problematic as fuck and won’t fucking retire.

An exhibitionist and yet she still comes off like a prude at the same time....

Was this article just an excuse to be an exhibitionist regarding your sex life?
