OMG trying to explain what ‘white privilege’ means to my family is a fucking chore. White privilege doesn’t mean that white people don’t have to work hard for what we have, or that white people’s poverty doesn’t exist.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

But that’s just this year! That’s my point. Free agency means it could be a different group next year!

“...Ansari seems content to hold up a mirror to everyone but himself.”

He’s a billionaire investment banker but identifies as left. His actually investment practices and politics are really inconsistent - says he supports community banking but made most of his money off of managing funds for ultra high wealth individuals; avid environmentalist and anti- Keystone pipeline but he’s got…

When they play Philly, it’s gonna be the closest thing to a giant rock fight since Greek God and Titan times
