There is at least one other good reason a progressive might vote for her. Being deathly afraid that the older independent voters will not vote for a “socialist”. Since they make up the bulk of the electorate counting on enough young voters to turn out is a risk. It is really important that no Republican wins this…

For me it depends on what they are talking about. If it's "can't dance" it's just obvious silly stereotypes and it does not bother me. If it's offensive like "are all racists" then I will say something because it's harmful. If you actually respond to the stuff like "cause all the problems in the world" it might make…

I think you are right that she would have been subjected to the same social biases as a light skinned black women yes because that is what she looked like. I think what irks people is that she could have at any time decided “nah I want to be white now” and done it. That is what makes her experience inauthentic or play…

This “the British won the Battle of Culloden” is impossible the battle of Culloden was between the Scottish and the English both are British. It’s a bit like saying “the Americans won the Civil War”.

See I agree that the person complaining is being a tad too sensitive and there are bigger problems but this photo is not a legitimate argument that therefore the other one is fine. Today right now in America black girls and white ones are not treated equally. Black girls are more likely to be seen as “bad” and…

Please do an article on all Jezebels’s descriptions of Trump. I love

If he had not run or even had pulled himself off of the ballot in Florida then a recount would not have been necessary to determine that Gore won Florida. If Gore won Florida he would have won the presidency. We would not have had 8 years of Bush. There would have been no war with Iraq at minimum.

Your point about increase in labor supply is good but I am unaware that working in parks or leading camps were ever unionized (can’t find any concrete information on it) and these jobs are not in any way automated either. Could any other factors besides increase in labor supply be involved?

First of all note the comment at the bottom “Consider this: Perhaps black people would care less about white people taking hairstyles from us, if they weren’t also busy taking our lives and basic sense of humanity on a regular basis.” Second different groups of Indian people get upset about different types of cultural…

I have never understood why you can go to war and kill people and vote but you can’t drink. Always felt like they need to pick one. Either you are mature enough to go to war, and vote, and drink or you’re not mature enough for any of them. I’m from a country where you get all three at 18 though the vast majority of 18…

Yeah Trevor Noah did a great joke on this where he commented that Michael Myers is scary but if there were people who are saying they support him - even scarier.

Yeah well I think you need the right to vote at 18 if you can go to war but honestly I’d be really happy if 18 year olds lost the “right” to go to war and I’d think it’s reasonable to pay the price of the right to vote. I don’t think 18 year olds should be killing people. I don’t like 21 year olds killing people…

There are three main problems that I have with evangelicals and I would be very interested in hearing this author address them in later articles. She addressed a little bit one of them - the hatred being preached towards LGBTQ folks. Sounds like she disagrees. The other two are 1) How does she feel about evangelical’s…

Actually she is barely left of Reagan’s Republican party. She is where moderate Republicans used to be. So is Obama btw the way much as I adore him. She is WAY WAY left of where the current Republican party is.

That is not at all obvious from Bill’s past record and her’s you know. It’s pretty clear she is greatly self interested as is she. There is no evidence that I have seen that she hates non whites.

I’m assuming her and she is capable of defending herself but I would think from her comment that she doesn’t. She seems to assume that the people posting comments which are contemptuous of minorities supporting Hillary are white.

People question why white rural evangelicals vote for people who a) Want to deny them healthcare b) Regularly undermine environmental legislation which protects their environment c) Regularly attack programs which help the poor d) Reduce the tax rate on multimillionaires depriving the government of funds rather than…

I am so sorry that this happened to you and angry that your mom had this reaction. Part of me wants to just say your mom was a bad person (certainly what she did was bad) and part of me thinks she blamed herself for not going with you and couldn’t handle it and so pushed all her feelings of blame onto you which is of…

Black Americans are genrally pragmatists. They think she has the strongest chance of winning against the Republicans and they know the Republicans do not have any interest in their well being. Particulary this set of Republicans. A spotty history is so much better than risking the GOP going “socialist, socialist” and…

Well now it depends on what you think “our” interests are. Do you think Hillary will try to curtail access to abortion? Do you think she will attempt to undermine the idea of police wearing body cameras? Do you think she will cut food stamps? Do you think she will support white supremacists? Do you think she will…
