Jews of european descent have white privilege absolutely. But there are a great number of Jews (i.e. Mizrahi, Sephardi, and African) who most assuredly do not. So while I get your point, I’d avoid tossing around the blanket “Jews”, and accusing all of us of “toss[ing] it around whenever they can.”

How anyone can blame anyone but Franklin for this is kinda nuts to me.  I think you hit the nail on the head here, she was stubborn and “old school”, and it’s going to cost her family massively.

You are aware that this is the exact thing a lot of Jews (and non-black minorities in general, actually) say about black people, right?

A few people brought it up The Root the other day: the way the black community draws analogies between Jewish people and wealth is problematic. Like the n-word, it has evolved to become this complimentary/aspirational thing amongst black people, but has roots in bigotry and violence that we continue to ignore or…

Or stand-up comedians will joke about ANYTHING, especially with one another because people in that line of work don’t actually believe that hardly anything is actually off limits. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey Ethan, if you want to write about something cool in the game, maybe don’t bookend your article with declarations of how bad the game is and instead, I don’t know, just talk about the cool thing. Shitting on the game diminishes a pretty cool accomplishment by this player. And no, couching your criticisms in…

As a family physician, your take is utter bullshit.

who are these people?

For years, Sony and Marvel had teased the idea that Donald Glover–black geek god—was in the running to play nerd-turned-superhero Spider-Man.

As a Vikings fan, I hate the fucking Saints for Gregg Williams reasons. Having the Minneapolis Miracle to hang over them for the rest of eternity is wonderful. Sure. Championships are great. Playoff appearances are great. This sort of play, sticks to the soul of a fan, and it’s another thing to lord over the Patriots…

I mean I know wypipo be cray and all, but this legitimately looks like a woman having a mental breakdown. We talk about mental health on these sites in “very serious tones”, unless we need a headline?

People are being willfully ignorant about this song at this point. The historical context has been explained ad nauseum re: the woman wanting to stay but being unable to say so explicitly due to social norms at the time and the man trying to give her reasons to stay so as to provide her with cover. And the line…

Homophobic. Say it. Because that’s what the black community is and has been for a very long time. It isn’t people making LGBTQ black men shrink and hide, it’s black people. The HIV rates among Latino men who have sex with men are also higher than white men (though not as high as black men) for likely similar reasons.…

Also Lauren, using the one image that Amanda Bynes had issues with that sent her into a body dysphoric shame spiral seems a little unnecessarily cruel, no?  

Yes. Her general point distracts from the problem and frames it instead as some sort of competition among minority women instead of a fight against white patriarchy.
But I also want to call out one of those tweets embedded for its logical fallacy because there are enough legitimate points to bring up in this…

I’ve always said and will continue to say that any winter tire comparison where the control is a summer tire can and ought to be discarded. The only people that drive summers in the snow are first time sun belt transplants, people who got caught off guard before they could switch to their winter tires/cars and morons.…

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but there’s no details explaining how we can link this to medical negligence? Creating a belief that Ms. Porter went a doc and got negligent care because she’s black doesn’t seem accurate; I have read that she was feeling ill the night before passing and was discovered at home deceased, not…

Dude, don’t take Patrick at his word - some of this is outright wrong.
