Because it became a TV show where the main goal is to chase ratings and dollars. If you upset the interviewee, they won’t give you more access. Without access, you can’t fill time with content and use that content chase ratings. So they won’t challenge anyone in a real, straight forward way.

That is in no way a footnote of the three-fifths compromise. It is the crux of the whole matter. If it seems counter-intuitive, then it’s because you’ve bought into the brand of American exceptionalism that says the anti-racist North was at odds with the racist South. The north was(and is) filled with plenty of…

I don’t understand.

I have always found it interesting that the three-fifths clause was not because the northern states wanted to count slaves while the southern states didn’t, but just the opposite; the larger southern states wanted them counted because then that would allot them more congressmen in the House of Representatives - which…

I like how you say the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, and then each of your next three sentences are about how the Civil War was, in fact, about slavery.

Kristen Schall is new Rufus that’s all I need in life!

Ghislaine Maxwell is the Cool Girl of pedophilia and sex trafficking.

Happy Bastille Day, everyone!

2020 just needs to stop. For like five seconds. 

I’m reminded of Disney villains that can steal a scene and chew it up.

Coincidently, or not, there is also a f-ton of nurses around the country who are outing thrmselves racist twunts, and getting fired. 

Just wanted to point out that Erykah Badu has a writer credit on “Ms. Jackson” and is actually vocalizing on the track.  Ain’t no rumor.  Also, you might want to check some of the Black blogs, magazines and profilers to get really deep-- as in, she is the Queendom, and she lives in a womb-iverse.  I’m not mad at her.

As much as I hate Trump, and I really really hate him, its Betsy DeVos that I truly wish beyond the worst for. She doesnt get the excuse that shes a moron like he does.  Shes truly an evil, reprehensible person.

I work for a similar place and have been lucky in this sense too. It’s been kind of fun to get to “meet” my clients’ dogs, etc. on calls - I think it’s led to closer professional relationships if anything else. Makes us all seem more human.
