exactly. i think guy is douche-y but man I love that show. so many great hidden gems in my area that I never would’ve known about without it. I could do with a few less “on point/offthehook/offthechain/righteous” comments per show, though. but he is who he is. i imagine he’s the same dudebro off camera.

well considering I have a concentration in African American studies, I’d be happy to be taught by you all about it. No, seriously. Univ. of Maryland - ‘92 (God I’m old).

it was sarcasm. british folks add an extra syllable to aluminum. now as for the new york accent....that’s a whole other story (and also sarcastic!)

seriously- so you’ve got black, asian, latino, women, LGBT and jewish. and if there’s gonna be jewish studies there has to be one of islam or maybe just a general religious studies requirement. cue the atheist outrage brigade.

thanks. but you’re probably one of those weird Brits who can’t even pronounce ALUMINUM correctly!!

I’m not dyed in the wool and am independent but generally very liberal on social issues and it bugs the hell out of me that in an attempt to feel more welcoming, we are stifling free thinking/critical thinking/free speech.

valid and well said. and other people shouldn’t be threatened or screamed at simply because they disagree with an editorial about halloween costumes. if, in 2015, you attend Yale and are so stupid that you needed a memo to tell you not to wear blackface, then you shouldn’t be at Yale in the first place. and we should…

f**k you for making me laugh at a deaf person. you witty sumbitch.

who among us hasn’t wanted to have a rage fueled by the denial of more pancakes at Denny’s.

after reading this list it’s clear I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Airplane and Blazing Saddles and I might toss in Anchorman. sorry, I loved it.

TRIGGER WARNING- the Discovery channel’s feature showing World War 2 footage may show American and British bombers dropping bombs. Those bombs are shown hitting the Nazi troop lines.

I think there’s plenty of time to teach kids about the truth of what we did to native Americans. not sure 3-4 years old is the time to do it. but i’m sure we’ll agree to disagree on that.

momtrepreneurs have found fertile ground to exploit the vulgar notion that the right preschool is the sole entry point to a pneumatic tube that deposits their offspring 13 years later into the Ivy League.

but your own statistics (first link) shows Hispanics and Blacks with almost identical poverty levels (24% Hispanic vs 27% Black), so by that theory, Black and Hispanics should be victimized by their own races at very similar amounts. but that’s not the case. by a large margin.

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.
