How was he radicalized? Where was he praying? Why didn’t neighbors report him?

Yes yes yes. These dumbasses thought Obamacare was something different from the ACA and now that they have learned it’s the same fucking thing, suddenly it’s “don’t take away my healthcare!” They were fine taking it away from the mythical lazy negroes and Mexicans, though, of course.

I think Obama is taking the tactic most african americans take after leaving an abusive job. “F*ck you guys with whatever your problems are...I worked hard and got treated like sh!t. Now I’ve moved on to something better and I’m no longer going to be the bigger man and chip in to help. I tried helping while I was here…

They do the same thing with “He tells it like it is” to “That’s not what he REALLY meant”

It’s charming how quickly his backers can switch from “Donald is an alpha male silverback gorilla who will not shit from anyone” to “Donald is a precious little baby who is not accustomed to Washington, D.C., and must be sheltered from those nasty politicians”. Supporting Donald is a tremendously corrupting enterprise.

I don’t read it as Chapelle giving Cosby a pass. I relate to it as a white horror/sci-fi nerd who had to grapple with learning how racist Lovecraft really was when I finally read the original source, after years and years of reading authors who swore Lovecraft had taught them everything they knew. Here’s a guy who has…

“Hey Grandpa Dave, Black women fucking exist. Thanks.”

See, I’d say it’s the other way around. Comedy isn’t for conservatives, because far too often their idea of “funny” is to simply point to a member of a fringe social group and say, “Hey! Isn’t it so crazy that people live like that?!?!?!?!?!!!1!” They think that a guy dressed up like a woman is so inherently hilarious…

The dilemma Dave is discussing, which seems to not be acknowledged in your piece, is that Cosby made Dave (and other black men and women) feel proud of themselves, in a way that the rest of American culture doesn’t. He made people feel like they were better than what they were told they were, that they had value and…

America idolizes and puts slave owners on its money...so I am not going to criticize Chappelle for having mixed emotions about someone that once upon a time people taught pretty much was a hero no matter how much of a monster Cosby is now. Even as a black man, I was never a fan of Cosby but I understand why he holds…

Oof, this is tricky. It’s likely that Chappelle was making funny and subversive comments. That it was punching up towards abusers, not down on victims. But here’s the thing that makes me relate a little to the woman who got upset. Seeing a room full of people, many men, laughing at rape jokes (even intelligent rape…

I will never forgive Bill Cosby for taking Bill Cosby from me.

I watched Spin last night, and Rich is leaving out a key part of the Cosby commentary - that being it was a callback to a joke done earlier in the show concerning a superhero who resorts to rape to maximize his “powers,” setting up a moral conundrum of “he rapes, but he saves lives.”

This wasn’t Andrew Dice Clay…

Let’s just remember that he has a valuable legacy that I can’t just throw away. I remember that he’s the first black man to ever win an Emmy in television. I also remember that he’s the first guy to make a cartoon with black characters where their lips and noses were drawn proportionately. I remember that he had a…

I wonder how many lawyers have contacted the restaurant to offer their services. She is using her “star power” to attempt to ruin a restaurant and put people out of work. Many restaurants are in a very precarious situation financially and this kind of attention could put them out of business. Cat Deeley better have a…

I have a suspicion that the uncle was involved somehow, he was the last person to see her before she went missing and he didn’t let anyone know when he found out about the rape.

I think a lot of men just don’t care. It’s not their problem and they really don’t think of those women as people.

On Monday, her uncle Reginald King says he saw her on a Facebook Live stream, where she was being sexually assaulted by at least six attackers.

I don’t believe that there was any bystander effect here. The ‘live’ feeds I get are either from people I have in my friendslist or from persons/bands I follow.

It is safe to presume that the handful of people watching that feed either knew the violators, the victim or both. From this, I’m going to presume they…

When people rage post like that to solicit online sympathy/internet pile-on it strikes me that possibly there’s an issue with the customer and not the restaurant. As an ex-server, I will always take the server’s side until provided proof otherwise. Yes, there are bad wait staff and management out there for sure, but…
