I’ve made some version of this comment multiple times, but every time I read a think-piece on tis subject from the various the oint is completely ignored.

As a white dude I only have this to say:

Its actually pretty simple: They’re media figures whose careers exist partly due to stirring defenses of classic Northern-style-it-doesn’t-say’s-racist-so-it’s-not-racist segregation. They are convinced none of that last sentence is true, and will rip your head off if you dare to accuse them in-person. And they were…

Darker skin would not help at all. She’s High Yalla, and you put a high yellow person in Madame Tassaud’s lighting and this is what they look like. You got be Ariana Grande dark before you look even a teensy bit brownish in that lighting.

Napoleon was normal height. The reason you think he wasn’t is that French inches are longer than English inches, so 13 English Inches make one French foot, and being 5' 2" in Franch is equivalent to being 5' 7" in English. Average height in France at the time was roughy 5' 5" or 5' 6.” Note this confusion is precisely…

I seriously considered supporting Senator Sanders. Particularly after Iowa and New Hampshire. I have been a fan since I fund out an actual Socialist was in the US Congress back in 10th grade.

Dude, you’re the reason w don’t care that you’re insulted. You’re cherry-picking evidence to fit your preconceived narrative. Which is infuriating because you;re telling us how we feel AFTER we’ve told you you’re wrong..

Give it a chance. One of the reasons it’s so much easier to get Germans to ostracize Nazi-nostalgics is that their pop culture is full of very realistic depictions of the horrors the Nazis caused. The last time we did that in the US, particularly mainstream US Culture, was also the last time Spielberg had a female…

Dude, I stopped reading you when you got into the DNC They don’t count votes, therefore they can’t have influenced the vote-count. It’s that simple.

Don’t get me wrong here, one of my favorite political moments was back in the mid-90s when I was ale to prove to Mrs. Wyatt that there was a Socialist in the US Congress. I really like Bernie. However, he was totally unable to connect to the people who are a huge part of the actual grassroots of the party: middle-aged…

Australian racism is weird. If you’re only there to visit (a Prof there to teach a foreign studies course is clearly a visitor) it’s probably fine. But if you start making a life there it could suck. Especially if you’re dealing with the working class, and you’re not coming from a British-aligned culture, you mind…

If you want to find out why this has happened again, apparently back in the 30s the British briefly used the phrase “n——- brown.”

Does anybody else get the feeling that Michael Harriot has an unhealthy obsession with famous white woman younger than him? Especially Kardashiens.

BIG NEWS: MEDIA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND POLITICS

BCA is a state-level agency. They don’t talk to pissant little Mayors.

It was not that hard to guess. You’d lose the penny in th first game, so the American was clearly making shit up.

Doubt that would matter much. European racism against blacks tends towards a high level of cultural paternalism, with lots of reference to language that simply mystifies Americans (see: Nazi claims that Finns and Hungarians are not Caucasian but rather Mongoloid), and in the UK a huge amount of religion being used to…

It’s not fair. If Hillary had won the DoJ would have charged him with violating Castile’s Civil Rights, and Federal Civil Rights charges tend to work a lot better than state-level charges (just ask Rodney King).

For the record, the specific debate was whether the Fifth Star Trek (aka: the one Kirk directed where everyone —the entire crew, the starship Enterprise, plus Romulan and Klingon Ambassadors — gets kidnapped by Spock’s secret brother on a quest to the center of the galaxy to to talk to God) is better than the first…

This is complicated on levels you might not realize. About a decade ago the Law and Justice Party dominated Polish politics under President Kaczynski and Prime Minister Kaczynski. They were not only brothers, but identical twins. President Lech Kaczynski was killed in a plane crash on the way to a ceremony in Russia.…
