Progressives do care, sweetie. We do. We know that radicalized Muslims exist, we know that they kill white people. These stories get lots of attention, it’s all over the mainstream news. From what I’ve seen, Jezebel uses its platform to discuss issues (usually regarding women and minorities) that often get drowned out…

You know, you could have just posted the story, and we all would have been more informed. And you’re right, the news here tends to focus more on some topics than on others — but that’s not a conspiracy, that’s how you run a blog. They’ve got some good journalism and opinion pieces, but FFS, they also have a…

He’s doxing somebody? Where?

I mean, his posts are super predictable if a little violent, but now he’s trying to dox a commenter.

Stop debating seriously with a notorious troll. No, he doesn’t have a point.

Of course you didn’t hear black people talk about it.

Ha. By no means am I a pearl clutcher. You are just ridiculously dim.

Pardon me boy, aren’t you the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
Track twenty nine, boy you can gimme a shine
I can afford to board a Chattanooga Choo Choo
I’ve got my fare and just a trifle to spare

I’ve seen this argument, but what it is is a bit too precious. There is institutional racism, which as you say can’t be perpetuated by blacks in any meaningful way in this country at either the state or national level. But, ANYONE can be racist in the general sense of the word. Black people can most certainly be…

Why are chronic trolls allowed to stay on here? Why are they not blocked? I say this blog is complicit and it is not ok.

I starred this only to hope it remains on here and not flagged. This might be one of the dumbest comments I have seen in the last ten years on here.

Horrifying. If a legal fund is started for this, I hope you will give its info.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive, to be clear.

Actually black people don’t have the privilege and power to be racist. Racism requires the more powerful and privileged race to claim superiority over another. At no time in American history have black people had more power and privilege over whites. Never had the power of institutions to incarcerate and deny them…

19 UC Berkeley employees were found to have violated university sexual misconduct policy since 2011. Among them are John Searle, Graham Fleming, Geoff Marcy, and Sujit Choudry.

I have friends who teach at Berkeley. The administration is MUCH more conservative the surrounding city and the legacy of student protest would suggest. And that has always been true.

I’ll also never understand why men care so goddamn much about other men’s careers. Why do you care if another man’s career is “ruined” by their own actions. It’s really about protecting their own bad behavior and the reputation of the university.

Unrelated to sexual assault, but I know someone who was kicked out of a PhD program because he blew the whistle on incredibly dangerous behavior from a Prof. A year later that prof was quietly fired, because while they knew the prof was very much in the wrong they couldn’t ever admit as such until well after the…

They hired the lawyer who rationalized torture during the Bush administration to teach law. That tells me all I need to know about Berkeley.

Especially in light of our current commander-in-chief and the guy who just won the oscar for best actor
