This is like when people got pissy at Mad Men for being sexist. Um...its a period piece set in New York City in the 60s. Its just being realistic.

It’s based on true events and set in 1969. That’s pretty much what happened. You can dislike that, but to dismiss it out of hand is ridiculous. It was a good show and really relevant still, unfortunately.

exactly - Ellison may not share Farrakhan’s sentiments but he also didn’t find those sentiments worthy of creating distance between himself and Farrakhan, that can be seen as somewhat problematic to a large swath of Jewish people.

Many white supremacists have never participated directly in violent acts against black people, but if they are mouthing the exact words that people used over the centuries to keep black people down, then it doesn’t really matter, does it?

I’ll try to explain this in very simple terms.

Looking at my tax statements I would say he’s more of a shit head but hey that’s just me.

Yeah, I’ve never seen Locomotive Jones do that. I think you’re making it up.

I’ve been reading his posts for months now and I’ve never seen him do that. It seems like you’re making this up. Locomotive Jones is a smug dickhead but I have literally never seen him do what you’re saying he’s doing.

I honestly think they’re making that stuff up.

I’ve never seen him do what he’s being accused of. Locomotive Jones might be an asshole but it seems like you guys are making this other stuff up.

HAHAHAHA you do not have a constitutional right to an abortion. That is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever seen on this website.

Just because you don’t like what he’s saying?! For Chrissakes, does everyone here want to speak in an echo chamber?
