“Should” being the operative word. A lot of things should and shouldn’t happen, but never means a hill of beans when you’re white. Pohleece shouldn’t shoot unarmed black people, but they do anyway. They should deescalate the situations as they do white citizens.

You touch - nay, brush - their privilege, and they shatter into a million little pieces in front of your eyes. Maybe the white students needs to go sign up with David Duke’s Book-of-the-Month club or something, where he or she will feel safer.

It’s a damn shame I have to read this on AVClub and not Splinter.

I’m somewhat tired of the greys doing facile calculations that use the “trans people who have been reported as murdered” number to calculate the likelihood of trans people being murdered, and using that number as a way to say that trans lives aren’t in danger. An example is in the greys here:

Mr. Harriot,

Ohhh, you want GOOD decision making...

He's a rich white guy in America being held accountable for his actions. Of course he's going to feel aggrieved. 

Upon winning the prize, the Ethiopian Prime Minister’s office tweeted out a statement saying it was proud of Abiy’s selection, noting he had made “peace, forgiveness and reconciliation key policy components of his administration,” CNN reports.

Genius serial killer:

Of course, no mention at all of “The African Queen”, because that’s too old to have been seen by the writers of this website...

Thank you for this, Stassa. I made a similar comment under a story a few days ago, and I watched the 60 minutes segment last night. I had a similar reaction. I was uncomfortable with the framing of both the Texas Ranger and of Little. When he spoke in the interviews, it’s clear he’s not a genius, nor did he come…

Great piece. I sometimes struggle with fully accepting this and it’s more than likely because I’m a half Japanese half white man who is not likely to get harassed anytime soon. The thin blue line mentality renders all would-be “good cops” into complicit criminals in these cover-ups and it’s depressing and maddening as…

Generally, complaining about “being dragged into politics” is rich and influential speak for “I don’t want to be pulled out of the comfort of my cushy and limited worldview.”

Now that the news is out that Splinter is dead, let me just take a moment to say this:
Fucks to Jim Spanfeller, eat my entire dick you absolute coward, you bloviating piece of shit, you complete and utter tool. I mean, I understand the decision; destroying Forbes wasn’t enough for you, so you decided in your infinite…

Unrelated and yet also related:

The segment steered clear of any political discussions, but notably called the protestors in Hong Kong “anti-government” protestors.

I can never ignore ESPN 8.

Surely there must be mirrors in the locker room!

So under the banner of being “patriots” they feel entitled to overwhelm and displace the redskins from their native land, big surprise.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately how in my whole life, I’ve only known a few men who have really managed to demonstrate they believe women are people.
