Right? What they need is “Understand that there will be real consequences for you if you do this, and that those friends you were hoping to impress are going to shun you too” training.

Maybe diversity training should just be a part of the curriculum every fucking year and like all year long instead of just a reaction to a problem.  Clearly the ignorance training is ongoing so we must thwart it with equally ongoing diversity training. 

No, wearing blackface isn’t a crime. But it’s worth while for the cops to know who are the racist dumbfucks in the community, so they know where to start when the swastika graffiti shows up.  

So, like, this was your main take-away from this?

Narrator: Andy Beshear won.

While it feels good to see this as a blow against Trump, Bevin only got elected in 2015 because he was so far down in the polls, many Democrats stayed home. It is great to see they didn’t make the same mistake. Bevin. like Trump has been bad for Kentucky and some 33K Kentuckians told Bevin, You’re Fired. Given the GOP…

The only thing I can think of that would maybe justify her word choice a little is if she felt that "single" was too much of an invitation for people to hit on her.  "Single" has that implication of availability whereas "self-partnered" sounds final and closed... like "I am in a relationship with myself - stay the…

So, if I take a copy of Behind the Green Door and I post it onto a free site, surely the cast and crew intended for it to be paid; meaning, when it was made, you had to BUY the VHS or whatever. So,…

It seems ridiculous today, but that kind of shit was very serious for determining who was “white” in an era when race determined whether you could be considered another person’s property.

The word “octaroon” is an offensive term for someone who is one-eighth black

Context of the times is everything.

Shouldn’t you be doxxing or swatting someone who killed your wizard or something? Kotaku is that way, neckbeard————->

I was honestly surprised that “porn” remained in the title because I thought that would be the issue.

There seems to be a lot of people who don’t/can’t separate their positive feelings and ideas about Clinton from the reality that there are very real questions and charges against him and his personal actions

I think he comes off as an extremely well-spoken, decent, and diligent guy but that’s just my personal take. One thing I *have* noticed in the last couple of interviews I’ve seen him in—namely with Colbert and Maher—is the tendency of the hosts to deflect by dropping the whole Frank Sinatra parentage rumor into the…

You might want to consider whether or not Kenneth Starr was associated with any other instances of ignoring sexual assault before you commit to that opinion.
