STOP! Just because the left got an Oprah-uplifted huckster who says things we like doesn’t mean you should legitimate her candidacy (cough advertising campaign).

She’ll still be rich and well-preserved, so hold fast.  But at your (then) advanced age, it will be even harder to stay awake.

I was just in midtown Manhattan and saw a white man selling loose cigarettes and calling the prices so loud I could hear him from the bottom of the subway steps.  #EricGarner

Right. If Obama is being Schrodinger’s endorsement, maybe that’s a sign that one could just wait.

Thank you for pointing this out. People keep talking about Biden’s performance as if it wasn’t entirely on brand for him to stumble and play himself.

One thing that has been preying on me since the first post about it was people using the example of Dreamworks as something black actors don’t do. The trio that formed Dreamworks were business people. This is not a model for actors— take a bit hunk of your time from the thing that gives you satisfaction and acclaim to…

He literally looked at the explanation on the database with the document.  Also, the basis for an extravagant claim in a field with a LOT of interest. At least when I was doing graduate work faculty gave extra scrutiny to “everyone who has ever written about this got it wrong” arguments. But then again, I’m not a…

There is no peer review for trade presses

I also thought she handled it well. And I have been irritated by her twitter behavior in the past. But I was horrified to learn that this began as her doctoral thesis—although I don’t know how central the execution claim was to either. She certainly should have learned this history of the changing meanings of “sodomy.”

I need to write an essay on “white contexts” because it is a key tool in derailing discussions of racism.

I’m sure that is exactly what Atkinson’s therapist will tell him when he has to seek treatment for PTSD for this little “run-in” that consisted of being threatened with death.

I had no idea who any of these people are but was sick at home, so watched Westbrook’s video. It was really compelling, but then I learned about her friendship with Jeffree Starr. So now it feels like she’s fine with gross and outrageous behavior until you start fucking with her coin.

You  are either trolling or Rip Van Winkle.  House of Orange is dominating the three branches of government and the fourth estate. This is authoritarianism-US style and the GOP is fine with it as long as they can plunder the country and take Russian money. 

If your straps keep slipping, you probably need a smaller band.

love this.

I suspect that’s the Obama-Biden link you mentioned. The more “Uncle Joe” is out there spewing his BS, the more those numbers will drop. (fingers crossed).

Can we talk about Kevin? From the article, I thought he only spoke up the first time, but it seemed that he kept jumping in when she clearly was taking care of business. Stupid? Scared of the police? Scared of her?

I went to a SL-sized college near nowhere and its unlikely that a grown-ass ex-felon would be living in the dorms without folks talking about it. However, each person and each small college’s culture is different. Even though people were kind of in each other’s business at my school, one of my good friends didn’t…

makes me think less of Olivia Munn. 

I need to preface this by saying that I don’t believe in prison rape or beating as a means of punishment. That said, I wonder if the much-touted “prisoners hate child molesters” narrative apply to teen-aged black girls.
