I’m a fairly non-stupid white person - if I see a doctor of color, I figure she/he probably had to be twice as good to get half as far as the white doctor standing next to them so, bring it!

Staff the entire emergency room with black doctors and nurses, then if some asshole demands he get a white doctor, they can go ahead and die.
That’s pretty much got to be the epitome of frank stupidity—you don’t want people who could save your racist, bigoted life to do anything for you....because of the amount of melanin in their skin?! You mean that’s it?! That’s your threshold?? If that’s the case, quit wasting everybody’s fucking time and just stay…
This isn’t about being a good driver—it’s about being able to pay your traffic fines. Even good drivers get tickets, son, and not every city has the benefit of an extensive transit system that people can use to get to work and take their kids to daycare.
Way to miss the point. Anyone would get tickets and lose their license if cops decided to spend all their time trailing them the way cops in racist areas follow black drivers around.
The problems experienced by the women in the article can be traced back to systemic racism. This is fact, and does not require your skepticism or agreement. If you want to be skeptical of anyone, maybe search yourself. If you know there is racism in traffic enforcement, why are you more comfortable trying to make the…
But if you can write a check that clears, suddenly you’re a good driver and no longer a menace on the roads?

More people I know are going back to breeders because of the ridiculous hoops that shelters are making adopters jump through.
I also asked her to describe Trump in three words and her response was: “Stupid asshole”
Here’s an idea (and not just for the people at the Atlantic, but everywhere). Maybe if you want to write an article about a female politician/celebrity/CEO/artist/anything you should look back at similar articles you have done for their male counterparts. And if your article contains a whole bunch of stupid…
However, critics argue that companies exploit the program and use it to replace American jobs with cheaper labor from overseas.
So I need to ask a favor: You guys—the sane and mostly sane ones with power—you have got to ignore him. I’m serious. Please. For the love of everything halfway decent and remotely sane in this rapidly plummeting world.
I am so sick of media sycophants drooling when McMaster, Vice President Q-Tip, Tillerson, and Nikki fuckin Haley (I have a rant about her in another post later) go out and say something reasonable. It doesn’t fucking matter. The buck stops with Our Orange Overlord sitting on the toilet tweeting between cartoons. He is…
I just grabbed a snack from the office kitchen. Thanks, I am now no longer hungry.
The comments over on Gizmodo are depressing AF. To paraphrase, the elderly doctor deserved it, should not have raised his voice, should have just used his “cell phone to re-book patients from his hotel room,” and that this whole incident has been entirely blown out of proportion.
If they really did run an algorithm to come up with 4 randomly selected people and this guy, an actual fucking doctor, said I have patients to see then United could have run it again and gotten someone with relatively less obligations back home to get off the flight. I’ve never flown United but it’s stories like this…
Does United not have a single PR person? Someone, anyone who could put some platitudes on cue cards and shove this guy in front of the camera? One of the cops is already being investigated, how hard would it be for United to do the whole “we are deeply disturbed by the incident and will look into it” song and dance?…
I let my 1 year old play with my PS3 controller the other day thinking she couldn’t do any damage since I don’t play it or really care about the saves any more.
Runiya hopes to take a “realistic approach” to fantasy stories, and to that end has you playing as a fallen angel who saves the people from the Rapture.
