I never understood why anyone would want to watch other people play sports. I just don’t get it.

The problem is that analogy is right over nearly everyone’s head. How do we get them to realize leaving these devices in a default state is like leaving your door unlocked, your car keys in the ignition, your wallet laying out on your front step? I’d think we’ve had enough clues, but the clueless remain...

Not blaming the victim

More like leaving your garage closed but not realizing that anyone’s garage door opener can open it up, I think.

It’s pretty funny how it does sound a little like them, but the real trick is to make a plot. When they make a Skyrim that has endless plots, developing from previous quests you completed, adding new characters, you will have something. This is just a mathematical/database parlor trick.

Bitch is not loaded as saying nigger. An easy test is to say bitch in public, then say nigger and see the reaction to both.

You can put me in the no one can say it camp, and yes I’m black because that seems to be the barrier to entry to talking about this subject. I flinch whenever I hear the word, but more so when I hear another PoC say it. All removing the hard R did was normalize the use of hate speech and has actively been a problem in…

Oh, the “words are just a sequence of sounds” argument is complete bullshit, and one of the most pointless observations you could ever make. Every culture has taboo words, and brain scans SHOW recognizable effects when those particular terms are used. You are not more enlightened about langauge, you’re more ignorant…

Oooo the ‘whataboutism defense.’ Edgy and unexpected!

As long as everyone else was doing it then.../s

Even this would be a contextually-understandable argument for why he even uttered the word at all. But, given his immediate response of “I did not mean that in a bad way” we clearly understand that he does get it.

Cube was on it that night—and, frankly, Maher needed to hear it.

Whether or not he’ll internalize it (I suspect he will not; I have enjoyed some of Maher’s work over the years, but dude is pretty far up his own ass) is another matter entirely.

Unfortunately, I have seen that because the n-word origin’s are American, non-Americans do not understand the context and impact of the word. I liken it to a weird cultural appropriation. They use it and enjoy it, but they don’t get it and become frustrated when you say, “hey, let’s not”.

Let me see if I understand your logic.

This is the most simple-minded cop out I see trotted out every time the n-word comes up in discussion.

Let’s dissect this for a moment.

“When black people use it, it’s ‘okay’, but when white people use it it’s not, why can’t white people have more things?!”

Guys Melvin’s right.

There’s not much to defend.

Haven’t we had enough of “both sides” this year smh
