Considering the leeway they gave Keith Olbermann (who recently returned to ESPN), I’d say she’s right.

I think you hit the nail on the head. #1 is white men & their privilege; #2 is white women & theirs. #3-infinity is everyone else. 

I remember a long time ago first giving him the side eye when he talked shit about Eddie Murphy (who was just starting out) & other young black comedians playing ‘blue’ and wondering why he wasn’t giving the younger brothers a chance & a hand up. I had read that Eddie called Richard Pryor & asked him about that (I…

Kap didn’t need Eric Reid to stay unsigned to help his case. He still has Nathan Peterman and Tom Savage to prove his case.

I took it as the opposite. He isn’t exulting in how bad the prison system is, he is highlighting the facts, as ugly as they are.

Gotta love a country where white people go to Hispanic Heritage Night and then bitch about all the “Mexicans”.

Also a pretty massive influence on the young P.R. Nelson, particularly with regards to playing every instrument and using drum machines.

Strawberry Letter 23

Has Kaepernick’s glorious hair reached icon status? Is it the new negro crown? How does he keep it so fluffy and moisturized? Is he receiving special shipments from a beauty supply store in Wakanda? Did Kap spend all that Nike money to pay a personal hair fluffer, or does he have a customized blow dryer with a leaf…

Take a look at the number of likes in that tweet and you’ve got 31.5 k reasons to get out and vote in six weeks.

This is a very interesting way to detail and compare the cop crimes in different places. This is what I do instead of watching NFL. It could be an excellent half time show.

Damn Michael. All this does is make me furious and angry, and want to move to an island outside the reach of the racist us of a. I’m glad I stopped watching the NFL. 

This is important information, and I’m sure it’s a lot of work. Thank you for doing this.

Considering that attempted strangulation is a known precursor for future homicide, my bet is Native Alaskan women will be paying the price for this judge’s leniency in the near future.

I read the article you linked to, it meandered and could’ve been about 500 words shorter and made the same point. It’s essentially a “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good” when it comes to race and policy. I don’t think she engages the arguments well enough but I see her point. 

They can try; unlike NC the GOP does not have a supermajority in Georgia. And come November, whether Abrams wins or not, their majority will almost certainly have shrunk. Most GOP reps near Atlanta are in fights to the death to win their seats.

Boy, I hope she gets elected, just to see how much they can ignore her in the media then. Somehow all the coverage will be of the new lieutenant governor.

This may seem tangential but I think it relates. I had an amusing and frustrating argument with a Sanders supporter who keeps flogging this article by Intercept writer Briahana Gray.

Clarence Thomas got over because his victim was a Black woman.

My dad and I talk about this all the time. We had no idea the favor Ms. Hill was trying to do for us at the time. All we saw she was trying to hold a black man back. Only if we knew then what we know now. She is owed all of our gratitude and apology.
