I’ve got no scruples and a WaPo subscription, so here ya go:

the Post is paywalled, so they probably don’t want to directly repost it here. It’s at the link so if you’re not “out of free articles” you can get it.

Personally I think it’s a bit of a superiority complex, exhibiting itself as “well we’d never be so stupid”, as though the Germans are a special case in regards to militarism and authoritarianism. It allows people who don’t want to actually examine the past an easy get out, bit like blaming various Presidents’ worst…

But unfortunately that nuanced and more importantly truthful depiction of Germans in The War doesn’t sit well with a public and critics who since kids have watched entertainment that featured one-dimensional drawings of all Germans as evil robots out to kill everyone, which is why any game, TV show, or film with said…

And yet another hot take of why JoJo is meh because “it’s not that good a Holocaust film” when it’s not trying to be a Holocaust film.

Seriously, and every time it’s dumber than the last. I remember being stunned by the gentryfying idiot calling the cops on a damn ice cream van, but now that seems like one of the more pedestrian calls. It feels a lot like “black in public” is going from just, the real reason that fucker called, to an actual crime…

Can we talk for a moment about how Janelle Bynum has a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, an MBA from Michigan, runs four restaurants as a small business owner, and has four children? She won her seat because she campaigns on a positive message of funding education, supporting small business, and fairness for all…

Wow! That’s some class on Bynum’s part. Love how she spun that into a campaign ad :-) I would have been so scared! Maybe Bynum should run for the National House in 2020!

SHUT UP VAN JONES! SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!!!

“neoliberalism”

this is those weirdos that have purple and teal dyed hair and scream and yell at other liberals and throw tantrums, making every liberal look terrible in the process right? because they are the fucking worst. our infighting is 100% attributed to them; it’s ok to be left of center. as far as im concerned…

You’re taking a lot of liberties in assessing what did and did not happen in this situation. I wonder if she actually did say this and not the perhaps bullshit that you assume she probably said. In my experience, teachers will often treat young students as if they are completely clueless to anything that their lesson…

I am probably 35 years older than this kid and don’t have half of his conviction.

6. Failure to get black history, science, facts correct.

Even while pregnant, and I’ve heard this on multiple occasions, “I’ll give that baby some food.”

I see it where I work (gas station) constantly. Black women are continuously harassed. It’s something white women don’t experience to the same degree. Even while pregnant, and I’ve heard this on multiple occasions, “I’ll give that baby some food.”

Black women are always at the forefront of everything Black and take all of the beatings and then have to come to their homes and worry about Black men harming them as well. It’s a damn shame and us Black men can’t help elevate the Black community without elevating Black women and LGBT people.

Somebody hungry for a knuckle sandwich and a bottle of punch?

But... there really are gay elephants.

Thanks for this. Great explanation. My favorite part:
