And you reconcile this with your site’s love of Hamilton how?

“What do black American icons have to do with tribal Africans?”, you could ask this writer. I call out American liberalism (and, occasionally, conservatism) for its orthodoxy of thought and perspective that imposes itself in all matters whether appropriate or not. Kara Brown’s use of historical black American figures…

You realize that you’re no different than this lady, right? You made this effort to paint her (pun intended) as a pompous and out of touch white savior. And here you are, the African-American living in her bicoastal liberal bubble and defending tribal Africans (from an attempt to raise awareness about them and save…

Read up on his wiki if you think he was born with a silver spoon. Whatever his views, the mad earned his place in life. Most court-watchers consider him the best pure debater and litigator of the current set.

What? Life isn’t comfortable? You aren’t safe? You don’t have an excellent welfare state? You don’t have free educations? You don’t have suffiecient maternity/paternity leave? You don’t consistently rank as the happiest people in the world?

You realize that, discounting immigrants, native Swedes have like a 1.3 birthrate, right? All of those freedoms and parity for women don’t translate to sustainable populations. For what it’s worth, Canada has Sweden beat by a mile when it comes to the birthrate, so, somehow, Canadians are finding ways to have children.

I’ve yet to see any credible media outlet publishing a piece written by a man offended that Taylor Swift essentially called men “dicks” in a song over some sort of emotional betrayal. Easy writing when you’re enabled to feel offended on behalf of your entire gender.

So Twitter’s 45% non-white workforce participants are “tokens sprinkled here and there”?

I guess for the purposes of this post, Asians aren’t’ PoCs.

You should be better at pretend outrage than this blog post. Six million is the consensus number on the total number of Jews killed in the concentration camps. Eleven million is the total number of persons killed in the camps. The larger figure includes gypsies (Romani, if you’re triggered), political dissidents,…

Because the men doing the raping aren’t students under the purview of the university. There’s a gigantic gender gap in India and it’s entirely contained in northern India (Where Delhi is). There are about 30-35 million more men below the age of 35 than there are women in that age range. Not only is it geographically…

The US and Canada are the only first world countries that permit citizenship by virtue of birth on territorial soil, rather than the circumstances of the parents. This was a sweetener used to induce legal immigration to meet the immense labor needs that these vast territories could sustain. Much of what we consider…

I don’t think I’m too off the mark. It’s a single commodity economy with no specialization in the products that are actually derived from oil (plastics and so on). For its current GDP, it has no significant universities, centers of science, global non-oil corporations. The best analogy would be the riches to rags…

Our friends, the Saudis.

I’m assuming that you were liberally posting this definition to shut your colleagues and their supporters up when they were railing against Emma Stone playing a character whose ethnicity she didn’t actually share.

Also indefensibly white: Bobby Finger’s family tree

I’ve seen the available UK census data. I acknowledge that there were communities of black people in the UK at the time, but they numbered in the low one-thousands. My initial post was to call out someone for asking for a demographically and economically unrealistic contemporaneous representation of black people in a…

I take issue with calling it ‘tone-deafness’. It’s certainly, superficially evocative of US slavery simple for the use of the word ‘slave’, but that’s meeting a very low intellectual bar, one that doesn’t force anyone to actually examine their ideas. If taken to its logical conclusion, you might as well shut down an…

Black women were pretty much nowhere to be found in WWI England. Critizing the lack of representation of that particular group in that social cause is akin to critizing the lack of Uzbek viewpoints in popular histories of our Civil War.
