Woah there, Brett Anderson, all that celebrating and jumping around is some bush league shit that only shows up Justin Smoak — and right in front of the Jays’ dugout, no less! The next time Smoak steps into the batter’s box against you expect him to charge you before he even takes a pitch. Respect the game next time.

I don’t need to look down the posts to see people dragging out the same tired defense of “Oh but she/he didn’t mean it that way, so it’s not bad. People need to lighten” up bullshit that always tells me that I have to give people the benefit of the doubt at all times—even when they’re doing something so horrendously…

Context does matter, but you are picking and choosing what context matters to you. As it stands, white people wearing dark makeup to appear black is the continuation of a practice tied to the mocking of black people, and often enslaved Africans, in the US. That’s the context for this. More context for this, which a…

Yeah, pushback against practices with historical and sustained racist connotations is just “fragile feelings”

Just...just wear the clothes. We know who it is, the costume’s good and fine on its own, there’s no need to Blackface it up. Jesus, why is this so hard?

This post nails a lot of people’s feelings about yesterday. I remember years ago reading about how Tiger, Jordan, Bird, they weren’t just great players but world-class trash talkers, using every trick in the book to psych out their opponents while somehow maintaining a public image that made them look like nice people…

You can pinpoint the moment where his heart breaks!

Why do they keep reporting that the kids didn’t know ? I mean you know you have bad grades and your on and academic scholarship for a sport you have never played. A lot of these kids knew 

Right, but they wouldn’t have even gone.  To any school. 

ESPN figured it out when they saw the leaks came from “Adnanymous@NotMyVirkEmail.com”

Considering we have a president who lost by 3 million votes, a Supreme Court with 4 of 9 Justices who were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote, and a Congress where Democrats have received more votes in both chambers since 2012, but recently just gained power due to gerrymandering and smaller states…

but he’s damn good at video games.

You’re damn right, I’m grousing. Because it wasn’t enough that America let Benito Mussolini scrape out a win in 2016, when we finally got a chance to reign him in... Dems barely edged out a house win? In response to Donald motherfucking Trump? That is a fucking DISGRACE and a damning indictment of American society. In…

Floridian here. I’m sick to my stomach. I can’t believe Desantis won - though I’m not terribly surprised that Voldemort did.

DeSantis was openly a bumbling racist and the majority of Florida said: “Well at least he’s not black!”  

Ok.......*sigh*

Look, I get people being disappointed. I can even understand, to a certain extent, people being angry. No one was expecting, nor did anyone ask for, a Diablo mobile game. I think Blizzard is at times a little full of itself...high on their own supply, if you will. I don’t think they’re “out of touch”,…

That’s awesome. It’s good for them, it’s good for him, and honestly it’s good for the game. They saw a generational player in danger of falling through the cracks, and moved to put him in a healthy and functional situation for more or less the first time in his career. Whatever they get out of it, he and the rest of…

Nonsense. He can call out whoever he wants in a public forum. People who are subversive to a movement don’t get a pass just because they are black. And if you think the oppressor is gonna let up if all black people get along and publically agree on everything then I don’t think you have a clue how oppression works. 

I think it’s important to note that Reid is right.

No, no it’s not. This is a black man who has had his livelihood directly threatened because he spoke out, who is living in a country where the president supports white power, and where black activists like him are under government surveillance.
