Actually, the emotions they chose are the ones that most psychologists agree are the Universal Emotions. You can read about this by searching for Paul Ekman a very well known psychologist that described the 6 Universal Emotions. Those emotions are the ones that you do not need to learn or imitate but the ones that…

Is it “anti-Catholic church” or “anti-Catholic church influencing national politics”?

I feel like it’s really really really not my place to tell a black woman how to feel about Rachel Dolezal. Nor is it my place to judge her feelings. And I’d be kind of uncomfortable if Bobby went there.

It is eeriely similar to Sarah Palin’s response to Katie Couric about which newspapers she reads....”all of them.”

Why do sagging pants bother people so much? What’s the big deal?

In my opinion, DC made the same mistake you’re doing in your evaluation, James: considering changing for the sake of changing, as an inherently good or bad move. The problem is it’s not. If your model isn’t working, consider changing. If you actually change, evaluate how the change impacted and, more importantly, if…

You know what’s interesting is that looking back on my childhood, I can’t remember a single baseball or football game my team won or lost. Not one. I remember my friends, the fun of practice, the thrilling joy of a base hit or an open running lane, and most of all, the pizza parties at season’s end. Did we ever win a…

Aww, the poor manbabies are just sad that when they were sick with an acute case of Butthurt Fee-Fees Disorder at the Fragile Male Ego Hospital, no awesome ladies came to visit them!

I had an English teacher once who used to say "the guilty dog barks first." I tip my hat to him for giving me the perfect saying to encompass this situation.

So you’re confirming that the pejorative has no basis in reality, then.

Oh, so using it as an insult is about creating absurd straw men and in no way a reflection of reality.

Or you could just be Spain after Franco and outlaw any and all discussion of what your country went through. That worked out well for everyone!

Being an American - we should collectively acknowledge the role that slavery has played in the country and the long legacy of institutionalized racism. As a citizen of the country that was built, I think my taxes should be used for reparations.

You realize that you don’t have to be racist to benefit from racism, right? Your white 8 year old kid might not be a racist and still not get shot by police for holding a toy gun in a playground. Your white dad might not be racist and he still won’t get choked to death by the cops. Your white neighbor might not be…

I’ve always thought of “White America” not in terms of white people but all the scaffolding in media, history and government that drives the white exceptionalism narrative. It’s silly but I’ve found that clarifying those terms helps to shift the debate. Mentioning White America is not a personal attack. That's…
