a woman who won a $4 million judgment against him for allegedly sexually abusing her when she was 16.

That was gracious of you, so let me acknowledge that in fact it’s impossible to know for certain if or how I would have reacted differently in a different situation. But I have definitely condemned the police for violence against White people before, and have acknowledged that deadly force was reasonable in some…

Yes.

And a lot of people already knew he was Black. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that in the greys here on the Root. Or maybe it was in e-mails on the Clapback mailbag?

Police are far too quick to use deadly force. However, when there’s an armed mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence” literally breaking down the doors, that seems like a situation where it has to be considered self-defense or defense of others. It would have been better if Ms. Babbitt had not been shot, but she made that…

This discussion hasn’t been about “why the shoe line was pulled” it’s about “why people were upset”. So your comments are not wrong, but they’re also not germane.

Maybe, but according to public opinion polls, a majority of Christians and even a plurality of Protestants thinks that homosexuality should be accepted. It’s only White Evangelicals who are still really opposed, they’re just really loud about it.

Except this isn’t remotely like that. If he had shown himself sodomizing a picture of Jesus, then yes, this would be equivalent. Given the esteem Muslims show the Bible, you don’t have to do the whole “if he had done this to Muslims” thing, this is landing on Muslims in basically the same way it’s landing on…

Of course, many were quick to point out that the offense taken was to a perceived exploitation of Christianity, not the use of the blood itself

Stupid games, four years worth of stupid prizes. I just feel bad for the kids who have to deal with all this shit.

Kermit has been involved in some very dubious memes.

100% would rather my kids look up to Lil Nas X than most other performers.

That’s a ridiculous abuse of power. Now way a 3 day suspension is sufficient.

“As Jesus said when he was hanging on the cross, I can’t breathe with this mask on”

A piece of Cthulhu. I’d rather not talk about it, but it was very strange.

Cars should be faster and harder.

Texas conservatives: messing with Texas since well before 1845.

Masking and vaccinations are a lot cheaper, so I guess it’s not surprising that DeSantis would prefer the more expensive option. More money for his donors = more money to him.

I think “Queens man” is almost a different breed than “New York man”.

I can’t wait to hear him start bitching about how asking him to disclose stuff like this is the liberal elite trying to cancel him and the real problem is how mean people are being to the insurrectionists.
