Or you can not take away her agency.

I voted for this guy twice and probably would have voted for him a third time if he ran but after this there’s no fuckin way. Suing a news publication over critical coverage and using the NAACP to play interference? For shame KJ, you just squandered all the good will you had earned with me and others in this city.

I am black. In my personal opinion, this is not racist. The only thing I find upsetting about this picture is the fact that a chapter of the NAACP - an organization dedicated to helping people of color - is crying racism over this in an attempt to distract from poltical misconduct. Bullshit and they know it.

Depends.. Was it drawn by a white or black person? If by a black person, then Gawker Rule #362.2 states that it can’t be racist. If by a white person, then Gawker Rule #362.1 states that it’s always racist, regardless of the ‘facial expression’ drawn.

I am far from a liberal but this is the best plan. The less involvement the government has in trying to distribute tax dollars the better. Think about how much is just wasted paying thousands of government employees 80k+ salaries to eventually hand out money to Walmart. And for Walmart to turn around and ride the govt…

Hadley: I know little to nothing about private water banks but the concept gives me the willies.

Man, you lit a fire with the readers with this comment. I love it.

Storing a years worth of food and ammo still isn’t a bad idea. Look at what happened to the people who couldn’t get out of Louisiana after Katrina, that place was anarchy for months. The bunker is overkill for sure though.

I also think that having some food tucked away in the basement can be helpful to your neighbors. A few years back, we had a 40”+ snowfall in about 24 hours. This is New England we’re talking about. The roads were impassable for more than three days (on the 4th day a plow came through and neighbors cooperated to free…

Thanks, Kate, for not being overly negative in this article. As a Latter-day Saint, I felt like you presented the facts without inserting too much negative personal bias. A couple of things to note, though:

- If you care about proper style in journalism particularly as it relates to Mormons, I invite you to use the…

Not a prepper here, but WTF are you talking about?

A basic human right? Wow. You guys can take something as simple as bottle water and turn it into some bull-shit bleeding-heart liberal human rights cause. Giz has gone so far downhill recently it's appalling.

And your inability for comprehension is showing.

Stating that the F-35 is a trillion-dollar military boondoggle fighter plane that can neither fight nor plane means you hate women?

WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE FLYING F-35S!

All of the people from improvised neighborhoods and horrible circumstances, black and white, who worked their asses off, despite adversity, to pull themselves out of their situations would disagree with you. I went to COLLEGE via the Educational Opportunity Program, a program with largely minority admissions. I won’t…

You have a very valid perspective; however as people, regardless of race, we sometimes need to work to create our own opportunities and stop waiting for opportunities to find us. We are fostering a culture that communicates someone should be looking out for our personal future. This is not a black perspective, this is…

I'm nervous about commenting on anything here, but she "lost me" (as in my judgement kicked in, for better or worse, I guess) with the MAD thing. Anything emotional that is only safe because the word 'destruction' is involved is not actually safe, for me.
