It’s funny when I see women in athletic wear without a sweat walking to Jamba Juice while smoking cigarettes.

Study after study after study has shown that the aggressive policing tactics used by the NYPD under Giuliani did not reduce violent crime relative to the decreases that occurred in other cities not using these methods. At all. The entire decline can be chalked up to demographic changes. (Being an economist by training…

Or maybe they really just don’t appreciate privileged white Americans falsely accusing its native citizens of crimes because of course the world will think the brown natives are only capable of this.

I love that people are able to look at theUS and then make posts like this with a straight face. People clutching their pearls over this were never going to go to Rio in the first place.

Are you somehow under the assumption that the Harlem Hellcats were the only African Americans in WWI? Over 350,000 African Americans served with the American Expeditionary Force on the Western Front. Several African American regiments distinguished themselves:

I never understand this argument. Superheroes with magic powers that include flying, layers shooting from the eyes, gamma radiation that doesn’t kill you, turning into any or beast that has ever walked the Earth, controlling weather, etc.=totally believable and accepted.

Are you just willfully ignorant, or what? People of color fought in both World Wars. In WWI, Germans even went so far as to dump pamphlets on black infantries to try to persuade them to abandon the American side because Americans were racist and treated black people poorly. So the Germans promised that black people…

Oh silly me! I forgot people of color didn’t spontaneously burst into existence in Europe until AFTER 1945.

I’d wager that DC Women Kicking Ass, knows a lot more about Wonder Woman than you do.

It’s a fantasy movie. Wonder Woman is not a historically correct character. She is a superhero. You are silly.

They are fighting so hard against the idea that maybe there could be slightly more inclusion. They should think about why that is and deal with it.

It makes sense because it actually, literally happened

You are so very, very, very wrong.

Somebody is not up on their WWII history! It wasn’t all white.

It’s a movie about an Amazonian superhero princess and you think a couple black people would be unrealistic?

The Harlem Hellfighters of WWI.

Perhaps because it’s a fantasy movie involving a fictional Amazon created by a fictional Greek god and therefore maybe could make up whatever additional fictions or inclusions it wants

African Americans fought in WWII. They fought for a country that segregated them in the army and at home.

It could stand more diversity but other wise it is pretty damn good.
