Are there sexist white men who call themselves progressive? Of course. Are white progressive men generally just as sexist as conservative men (of all races), who support severely restricting if not banning abortion, defunding planned parenthood, restricting access to contraception, stigmatizing transgender people,…

Isn’t the common thread being conservative/republican? Progressive white men support access to birth control, bodily autonomy, etc.

No doubt about it. We’ll be reading about how this law was struck down in a year or so.

This is the actual truth, folks. Razed for big boxes.

The guy filming the video has a funny enthusiasm in his voice. It’s just a little good-natured kinda weird slice of boyhood friendship.

Did he gin up fear about "superpredators", forcefully lobbying for the bill? Or did he sign it reluctantly because in a classic Washington trick Violence Against Women funding was tied to it?

It’s a psychological phenomenon that names impact professions; a guy named Dennis is more likely than others to become a dentist https://newrepublic.com/article/116140… ... Not sure which way this cuts re: your childhood doctor...

Try again. At no point did I say he hasn’t used samples. I said he moved millions without samples and provided an example. He has also moved millions with samples.

Kanye has also made music that has moved millions without using samples. The guy can be a ridiculous asshole but he's a…

gotta go with Kim Foxx right?

If he actually did attack cops with a knife. Have you read the news at all in the past year?
