@Amygoodsman, thanks for your note and know that I 100% agree. I thought that Obama’s speech was masterful (as “consoler in chief”) and such a wonderful reminder of how strong a leader he is and how we all need to be ourselves (and to the master (de)bater who replied to me that I should“go fuck myself,” I say— well,…

Buddy, there are some massive logical leaps from “all lives matter” to “direct refutation of BLM” to “racist.” But please do keep feeding the insatiable anger and paranoia that is unfortunately keeping any rational dialogue from happening... and please allow yourself to enjoy the All Star game.

@MissAndry & @LRons, with your “ain’t’s” and “girl” lingo, I do believe that you’re committing the cultural appropriation that Mr. Williams lambasted nonblacks with doing. Unless your profile images are inaccurate and you’re both not white girls, of course...

Way to “appropriate” the critical thinking argument without fully understanding it. I’m afraid that the only person guilty of non-critical thinking is your boy Williams as well as yourself. Your argument is a series of assertions which don’t methodically tackle the points of the “white people camp” and instead talk…

How about a balanced analysis of this situation? I don’t suppose you happened to read this piece from Clarence Page, who has argued elements of what Williams sputtered so “courageously” (in front of the BET audience, which was about as brave as Trump ranting anti-immigrant blather during his rallies.)

AMEN +1000. Isn’t this what Bernie is saying?!!!

Ummm. Please listen to Bernie carefully. Assuming you aren’t new to the world of politics, the real, lasting change begins at the midterm and local election level. You’re not going to single handedly tear down the “system” by throwing away your vote once every 4 years. But revel in your anger and enjoy the results…

Amen! +1

And do you TRULY understand the short-term impact, and how long it will last?

You are SO like this chucklehead in the video. Enjoy Trump as President!

And you can get a bit of tailoring to accentuate your assets. But that’s another article.

Just read the GQ article. Does anyone see the similarity to this? One could say that this micromanagement is not limited to 27 year old women.

Bernie Bro!!!

Bernie bros!!!

Bernie bro!!!!

What is so effin’ unbelievable to me is how the traditional narrative about liberals/Democrats is playing out, despite pundits statements that things have changed, i.e. that “Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.” Note that this is the argument why we were able to hold the presidency for 8 years. Guess…

+1, not to mention the fact that, by staying in, Nader de facto split the vote.

Move on, bro. That’s the point of his post.

You truly do understand Cubs fans, based on your parentheticals. I love you!
