Those whose help you need, as a minority population, to effect the change you deserve?

black people, like all people, shoot people they live around.

Too Much Time On One’s Hands disorder.

Is the ire over his answer to the question about profanity? Or is there more? I hadn’t heard bad things about him personally before.

Honestly folks you’d all be a lot better off if they’d dropped the legal drinking age to 18 instead.

So is Glenn Reynolds unfamiliar with the rest of our electorate, then? A sizable portion of whom think the earth is 6,000 years old? And that black people have more opportunities than white people? And who could not name a single current cabinet member? Sure, Glenn, it’s the youngins who are the problem.

People must really not care about karma coming back times three.

How does any grown up person watch these festivals of frummery and horseshit? Give people like this fame and fortune for fabrication, exaggeration and celebration of the most basic of human patheticness?

Actors aren’t paid based on talent, they are hired to do a job.

May Gawd have mercy on my soul. :)

With tons of respect, I find it hard to picture how things can ever be “equal” in subjective areas like entertainment, and “talent”.

I feel strongly that the long-term solution is to teach girls how to negotiate, and that it’s okay to negotiate hard and stuff.

I grew up in New England, and I promise you, it’s widely considered VERY tacky to talk about how much money you make.

But... in a Free Market, you’re free to negotiate what you think you can get from an employer, right? As I recall my college econ, this is pretty much the definition of “Free” in the term.

I always make a joke: ‘Watch, we’re going to walk down the red carpet, I’m going to be asked about my dress and my hair while the man standing next to me will be asked about his performance

Tumblr began the mass encouragement of people to consider themselves “creative” when they just repost things other people made.

Ibid.

Hehe, no, I’m someone who spent a lot of time through the Evolution of the web on the concept of owning one’s own creations, and the importance of intellectual property, and hating on those that just stole creative stuff others actually took the time to MAKE...

Eeeenteresting. I didn’t know that.

It’s “happened” that you’ve been able to find some mono-hemispherical shit-stirrers online trying to make it a “thing”, I guess I was reacting to the assertion that “white people” as a group flip our shit about what shade of skin an actor has or does not have.
