in what sense- Appalachia is well off? Edit: also, are there not other races living in the poorest sections of these cities? again, I would say it’s gangs and drugs. whether that affects the black community more in those neighborhoods, I don’t know. But merely saying poor people shoot each other more doesn’t seem to…

Greg, I’m a bit confused by the homicide stats you linked to.

except the link the author provided showed a huge % of blacks shot by blacks (while being only 13% of the population) while fewer % of whites were shot by whites. but again, it’s about shooting your neighbors so....

I was taught in Ebonics 101 that you can spell words however you want to.

didn’t anyone think to ask why there were 20 kids and their parents standing around watching him land?

all the Matt Williams’ tears turning to stars you bastard.

amidst the SJW preachy, overly sensitive bull*** that is becoming Gawker, this is one of the best things I’ve read.

yup. That’s probably why I then wrote: You think he/she intentionally misspelled that? If so, as a guy who worshipped at the sarcasm altar of George Carlin, then it went past me.

to this day, garbanzo beans immediately make me think, “the first 5 letters spell the word garbage.”

The last few years he didn’t do his own legacy any favors veering off heavily into politics. But God, his early stuff up through the late 80s....

i think you’re giving him far too much credit. You think he/she intentionally misspelled that? If so, as a guy who worshipped at the sarcasm altar of George Carlin, then it went past me.

you should probably focus more on grammar than football for a while.

all the stars on weck, motherf****r.

so twitter gets ripped by Gawker for lack of diversity yesterday.

THAT STEAK LOOKS SO #)*($&#($*&# DELICIOUS. DAMN YOU TO HELL, PINKHAM!!!

the neat thing is in the last 15 years or so you are literally one wikipedia click away from learning stuff. this isn’t pre internet age where ‘lernin was hard. it’s pretty darn easy for anyone, including folks who don’t live within a school field trip’s drive of a plantation, to learn. it was a generalization that…

f*ck that’s vastly underrated.

Those 12 years were like one long night with Bill Cosby.

oh please. this may come as a shock to some SJWs, but it’s possible to have lived north of the mason-dixon line and know about slavery. since probably 90% of Gawker posters weren’t even born during Jim Crow or when LBJ signed the civil rights act or MLK gave his “I have a dream” speech, it’s amazing what you can learn…

I went to the high school in Allentown, PA that was just on national news for a 200 student fight where 4 cops were assaulted, so I have a pretty good handle on what it’s like to be a police officer.
