I agree completely. When it’s multiple allegations there’s a pattern to look to, but a single accuser without evidence... I don’t *not* believe him — I withhold judgement in general. Also, as an alumn of male-dominated frat school, I can tell you that, while the majority of my female friends were sexually assaulted…

OMG I’m also afraid someone will accuse Colbert of something terrible... I’ve been in love with him since The Report premiered and kinda see him as the Perfect Man... Let’s pray he truly is.

Well I am great at taking criticism so screw you for implying otherwise!!!

I withhold judgement if it’s a single accuser and there’s no evidence. This is not an attitude I have about sexual harassment/assault — it’s an attutide I take about everything. My skepticism’s been cultivated by a lifetime of seeing people — myself included — being accused of bizarre and psychotic and baseless…

Purity Police, eh? Maybe a Jill Stein voter?

I don’t personally see how Carroll influenced Gracie for the better AT ALL. Not saying it was his fault — just a bad match. I remember Sandra marveling at the 2014 Olympics and at Sochi how far she’d come during her short time with Frank, but I didn’t see any change whatsoever, except for $hit music, $hit…

It’s HUGELY subjective... The marks for presentation are all over the place and not only have to do with what the judge had for breakfast that morning and how aesthetically-pleasing they find the skater, but also the veneration of the skater’s coach and choreographer (e.g., watch Gracie Gold’s acid-tripping…

I think she’s responding to the fact that judges still judge subjectively and are known to prefer willowy ladies skaters (Ashley is beyond-gorgeous but was never a waif — not even in Juniors) and “masculine” mens skaters (e.g., Johnny Weir’s unjustifiable scores at Vancouver, which were literally booed by the crowd).…

It’s the outrageous subjectivity and the favoritism of the judges that keep people from seeing figure skating as a “sport”; in terms of difficulty, they say a top skater needs the endurance of a distance runner, the power of a sprinter, the flexibility of a gymnast, the grace of a ballerina, etc., and it’s tough to…

Well I can’t agree that the justice system doesn’t need fixing — look no further than how we consider the racial/ethnic/socioeconomic makeup of a jury, not to mention the forensic pseudo-sciences that’ve put a gajillion people (usually men of color) behind bars. But I do agree that unconscious bias isn’t really…

CAPTAIN SISKO?!?!?

S/he is asking for YOUR opinion on how to make society more egalitarian. Hardly the time to admonish someone ‘cause s/he (to paraphrase) “could’ve just used Google.”

Ughhhh I liked this article but (existing in T***p’s America) I have a knee-jerk response to the term “white liberal tears.” I am one such “white liberal” and I cry (scream) tears (curse words) of rage at the pervasive inequality in our society and I can’t imagine trying to shield my (hypothetical) kid from the…

And apparently racists will always find something nasty to say!

OK you had me at “75% of the GOP would commit seppuku.” So, ummm, #Holder2020 !!! Oh wait I forgot, in light of the shooting of the white-supremacist Majority Whip, I’ve been told to tone down violent rhetoric...

Well now just last night I watched the most-recent video of the most-recent matador being gored to death in the ring... And I can’t say it made me sad.

I agree completely. Race was surely the lynch-pin (wow, awful pun there), but it doesn’t appear that Yanez set out to murder Castile... Just that he was terribly, terribly inept, in addition to harboring awful stereotypes about black people and guns and the “burnt marijuana” he claimed to have smelled in the car. …

Although the video didn’t change my extreme disappointment in the verdict, it did highlight that Yanez utterly lacked the disposition to be a police officer.
