To be honest, the way the term is thrown around and also used racially with “plausible deniability” they’re pretty much used in bad faith the same ways

“However, in the case of Emmett Till”

If this nurse was a woman of color, and got surrounded by 5 white guys literally encircling her so she had no way to exit, accusing her of stealing you would be explaining how it’s understandable for a woman, let alone a woman of color to feel stressed surrounded by white men, acting dramatic while pregnant after a…

I find it quite interesting that you’ve not mentioned in your article 2 of the  biggest contributers to maternal deathrate of obesity and heart disease. 

Both on political and policy grounds, student debt relief without means-testing is an absolutely awful idea.

Yeah, I don’t have an opinion on Heard, but this is a really bad look for ACLU.

“nor do we tell kids to get under a guillotine to reenact emotions [from the French Revolution].”

I’ve been wondering. I’m NOT a troll, and have peen replying semi-regularly on this site for at least two years. Yet, I’m still gray. Mostly, I just don’t bother commenting because said comment is rarely un-grayed. And I’M still gray all the time. It’s annoying and shrinks my interest in participation. I do more…

Hey now, what about Dungeons and Dragons, Rick and Morty, Star Trek/Wars, and MCU movies? I mean sure I have had those conversations with black people, but also when they are not around.

Wishing death on someone who may have mental health issues is bad form. What would Simone think? So is using a derogatory slur for a part of a woman’s anatomy. Instead of being a misogynist bully try being constructive. You should be ashamed of yourself.

If we hold her accountable in terms of quitting on her team and criticize her even more, we are the villains? With Jordan, Kobe, Lebron, Tom Brady, Serena Williams even Matt Stafford and Kerri Strug, if we hold them to same standard there would be countless post on how they can’t cut in the big moment etc etc. You…

Good on her for having the privilege required to ignore the responsibilities of her livelihood.  I wish we all had a little more of that privilege.

No I cannot imagine a 28 year old gymnast to make the U.S. team. The 46 year old is representing Uzbekistan, which I am lead to believe is a much easier team to make an Olympic team. Just like Eddie the Eagle “made” the GB team for Nordic Skiing he would have never gotten close if he was trying to make the Finland…

I assume you mean you can’t imagine a 28 year old gymnast being in medal contention because there was a 46 year old at this Olympics.

Defacing an inanimate object is a shame...not a hate crime. Some tear down monuments precious to others....images of MLK or Lee....it’s all pointless...

Those aren’t amendments, they’re perfection enhancers.

Keep in mind that these are the same people yammering about “removin’ our history” when it comes to Confederate statues. Hmmm... I’m sensing a common thread here and it ain’t “our history” now is it? The founders left plenty of actual evidence about their thoughts on their work including the recognition of the…

uh.... so he drew up a play to go to someone who had a hot hand and therefore racist?

This is a great and important win, but I think there are two factors we should consider before we extrapolate too far: 1) This is but one in over 1,400 mayoral slots (city pop. > 30K) in U.S. right now, and 2) Buffalo is apparently well established as a top 10 most liberal city.
