You have now failed the reading comprehension challenge.

Oh, the Heritage Foundation! America’s leading provider of conservative talking points. Whose biggest benefactors believe our president is a Muslim who hates this country.

1. Show me any statistics to back up your assertion that, from 1890-1960, black people were consistently improving their standing, by any metric, relative to non-black people, in America.

xMRNUTTYx is doing his best to explain this to you but it’s not quite getting through. Let me give it a shot:

Here’s the thing, though: it IS worse now for black people, relatively speaking, than it was 50 years ago.

How many punk rock songs openly advocate murder?

“The question of why violence is most prevalent in the lowest economics strata was answered at the dawn of capitalism.”

Honest question: What is the benefit (to your readership) in doing this? You’re all frequently funny, but it’s clear from your contributions to this feed that none of you has much if any basic understanding about Presidential campaigns. It mostly feels like you’re all here to try out material and to have Deadspin…

I understand the sentiment of this statement, but you’re comparing apples and oranges.

Bonds was either the best or second-best hitter of all time. Full stop.

Ian Desmond started the year by making tons of errors and not hitting; now he’s hitting a bit and making far fewer errors. He’s OPSing .700, which for a MI is not dreadful, and has been worth over 2 WAR so far this season. Maybe you had inflated expectations of him because of previous seasons but that sounds like a…

The biggest problems have been injuries and Matt Williams not understanding how to manage a baseball team in the 21st century. You can’t really blame the players for either...can you?

Just because the NFL went out of their way to prosecute Brady in the worst possible manner doesn’t negate the fact that all the circumstantial evidence points to the footballs having been deflated.

Irish; 18th Century.

It’s not like he put much thought into this...

So he only gets to “discipline” you if he catches you? Is that the deal AP had with his kid, too?

This is a very long summary of the article, which made all the same points you’re making but was written more coherently.
