“Keep in mind that Japanese people who are born and raised in Japan, a country that’s around 98 percent Japanese, have a different experience from those who grow up abroad as minorities. Japan has absorbed foreign culture and concepts for well over 1,500 years. Even in 2019, the country continues to do so, explaining…

Uh, no. The main character of Russian Dolls and Orange is the New Black are white girls. The point of this exercise is to discuss shows and films where the main character is a black woman/males.

I love that the only person who could do this was a white reporter, a white woman who looks like it could be her damn son.

i can see where ftrMD is coming from. ie “spoke to a doctor” is not the same as “listened to the doctor and did what she was told” (ask MY wife about THAT shit; women sometimes think they know best, fuck you and your medical doctorate and your years and years of clinical experience) and was the day before her death…

It is absolutely true that African-Americans in this country have poorer medical outcomes that white people. But with absolutely zero knowledge about what befell Kim Porter it seems like her case is a terrible jumping-off point for this discussion.  

“The point of this piece isn’t to assign blame for Kim Porter’s death.”

Well said;-)

I saw and responded to something that ties into this beautiful ode to this cool guy. The AVClub was asking about favorite Stan Lee characters. And sure, you had heaps of praise towards Spiderman, but one comment pointed out Stan Lee’s vision of Captain America. Before Lee Captain America punched Nazis and was a huge…

That’s like me when watching Master Chef Kids on tv, WTF did I do at that age? I could barely heat up soup.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! That cracked me up. Supreme. LOL. Why is it that most supremacist are at the bottom of their own respective gene pool.

You left out one important piece of the puzzle - “those white foreigners are to blame!” is also a key claim made by those corrupt despots as a way to deflect attention from their own power grabs. The Duvalier clan is a perfect example of this, relying on the same kind of rhetorical flourish used in this article- the…

Wow this is such a fair and unbiased view of things. Look folks will never fix their own problems if they don’t acknowledge their problems. Haiti has problems from both sides...not just white people but the black people that live there as well. It is a mix of the two. To put it on one group doesn’t help...it helps…

Agreed, and I honestly think we (as a country) need to start charging people for making false reports. Which can result in either jail time (up to a year, unless it gets classified as a felony) or a fine.... or both. Hit them where it counts. These racist fucks wouldn’t last a day in jail and obsess about their…

No, my point is that we should be careful not to fall into the pits of knee jerk reactions. Make sure we get our facts right, make sure it is the person who is on the video. Just take that extra step to verify.... and this is everyone, not just us, not just those filming, not just the doxxers, not just media.... but…

Like I said originally, if you’re a racist, you deserve to be shunned from society, lose your job, etc... But it’s a fine line that we need to walk because, just like the media, we need to make sure we are accurate when we do this because there are multiple stories where the wrong person was doxxed because they looked…

She handled herself like a champ and fought stupidity with kindness and understanding without malice vs crying and complaining.  She is a champ!  That is how you fix things.  I’m sure the lady of the house will think twice and contemplate her motives the next time she judges or calls cops.  

That’s a perfectly reasonable opinion/stance to take.

That is well and good....so you are able to go shopping at the grocery store, get gas? If you do you must be supporting the cigarrette industry since that is sold there and cigarettes cause the death of thousands a year.

Not a good analogy. A toy store would not sell a real gun because it is a toy store. They sell toys.

Wow. I don’t actually agree with this. This is Valve, not wanting to take responsibility for the content you can download from their platform.
