Obviously, this behavior was acceptable to certain people in the 1980s in Virginia. Anyone shocked by that picture needs to stop living in the fantasy world where racism ended when Obama was elected President.

Weren’t the allegations against Fairfax being spread by Northam?  It sounded like he was deliberately trying to make people lose faith in Fairfax just so people would say, “Oh, well, having a racist in office is better than having a rapist.”

Criminals of all dimensions

You obviously have no understanding about how FOSTA/SESTA and the shutting down of backpage actually put more sex workers at risk and increased human sex traffic rather than decreasing any meaningful metric we use for progress. The fact that you just accept this kind of basic justification for a complex issue…

The idea that prosecutors just enforce the law is not grounded in reality. The level of discretion they have is more akin to the President than a legislator. And it’s not just that she did some of these things; she is actively proud of them!

I don’t really care about protecting Greenwald’s reputation. I just wanted everyone else to know just how flimsy your entire argument is. Meanies-not-being-nice-to-Kamala because people “seem” this way and media outlets “seeming” another way to you.

“or hell, even Tulsi Gabbard, who people like Glenn Greenwald seem to have anointed as the Sanders until Sanders actually announces”

Primary season is the right time for tough, but fair, criticism of a candidates record. I just hope that once the Democratic primary is over everyone rallies (and more importantly votes) for whatever candidate is selected. 

Thank you for this article. I’m so tired of all the “#whitefeminists” in my timeline holding Kamala up as a ~black woman savior~—it comes across as incredibly tokenizing and patronizing. God forbid we treat her like any serious candidate, which entails talking about her record, asking about her beliefs, and…

I’m like: Who’d perform at the Super Bowl these days? If there was ever a year to sit this shit out, it’s THIS ONE. So of course we get Adam Levine - who I don’t hate. But some self-awareness would be appreciated. Just, naw. Nope. No ma’am. “NO Ma’am!” in your best grandma voice. “Ain’t havin it!”

Sorry if this comes off as a harsh correction, but this is just entirely wrong. I work in the film industry. One Potato, Two Potato is not a “world-famous” production company, nor does it seem to have anything to do with Bryan Singer. It’s barely findable online, unless you mean Gordon Ramsey’s old company that may…

Yeahh I’m not super pumped on the whole “Let’s continually shade this rising POC actor who by all accounts seems like a really great guy for this white director’s scummery (who was fired from the project and was known to have clashed with said actor)“ angle that BuzzFeed and Jez are riding.

You’re not angry at a guy who lies to the public about his knowledge of the accusations against Singer, prior to the movie?

And yet, the kind of rationalizing you just did here, these kind of little rationalizations done by a thousand people, from the most important to the least, are what keep allowing people like this piece of shit to work and remain powerful.

I guess all black people are somehow either married or related to each other.

I eat salads!

I did not see anywhere it said they were even together.  

I would never get dressed up to fly now. You should dress comfortably with slip on shoes for reasons like if the plane makes an emergency landing and they want you off the plane as soon as possible and they haven’t got time to wait for people to deal with their shoes or whatever.

Excuse me, you dress up to go to the doctors office? How do people in sweatpants and flip flops offend you in any way?

Off topic, but i was just shown an ad on Splinter for Redbox. The line was: try before you buy, unlike your mail order bride” WTF? I mean, WTF??
