Is your name based on the character from Stranger in a Strange Land? If so, kudos, and I grok.....

But something tells me that the Utah Hell’s Angels, Sons of Anarchy-types, Cliven Bundy and his crew, Meth & Opioid distributors, militia training campers, Proud Boys and all those types never get the gang enhancement because it wasn’t DESIGNED to remove them from society forever, make money off their free labor, make…

I know.. I think he’s trying to say (and I’m going WAYYYYYYY out here) is in the US, a lot of people don’t tend to chop up black people into little sub groups.. (Even though we are.. quite a BIG difference between Nigeria and Ethiopia and West Indian, and Jamaican). Its just “Black”.. (under a very broad umbrella…

Ignoring Biden’s gaffes and shortcomings for political expediency in this election is journalistic malpractice. It’s also the same behavior we criticize Republicans for in regards to Trump.

I mean, they are both diverse for the same reason: Because white people made three boxes outside of their own: ‘brown’, ‘asian’ and ‘black’. If everyone that isn’t white falls into either ‘brown’, ‘asian’ or ‘black’, then those groups are going to be extremely diverse by necessity.

Yeah, and now that I’ve kind of “made it” past the various traumas of being a first-gen college student/grad student, I get annoyed when people see me in that light. So, I definitely get it. But I’ve also seen how much easier it was for people to navigate graduate school and the academic job market when they came from…

I think the point about class signifiers is really important, but gelato isn’t ice cream and I will die on that hill.

Yes, Lunchables are charcuterie for kids, and the KFC Double down is chicken cordon bleu and ... well let me let Helen Rosner tell it...

I had always thought Jhene’s vocals were mediocre at best but the first time I saw her live I was blown away. Since then I’ve seen her live several times and she is a solid singer. Though her voice is light and airy, it is strong and well controlled. Her voice just sounds pristine. I say all of this and I’m not even a…

“Leguizamo who was born in Bogotá, Columbia...”

Latinos have enough people to create their own movement to get what they want instead of using Black people when we make any kind of progress. I don’t see them or Asians groups fighting as hard as we have done, but they will fight really hard to be accepted by white people and to emphasize their anti Blackness creds.…

Hey everyone,

I bought the PS1, PS2 at launch.  Waited a bit and bought the PS3 when the slim version came out.  I never bothered with the PS4.  I think a big part of it, is that while the newer games look awesome, the gameplay hasn’t really evolved to match.  It feels like a rehash now where they just updated the graphics but…

My sentiments exactly! Gone are the days where games were interesting with quirky storylines and creative gameplay like Brave Fencer Musashi, Tomba, Viewtiful Joe, Psychonauts just to name a few.

I’m tempted to say that it’s 6 of one, half-dozen of the other.

There’s a not small subset of folks who believe dressing a certain way speaks to discipline and inspires increased self-esteem. There’s also the importance of establishing a shared identity, which is the primary function of any uniform.

The Southern Poverty Law Center and FBI disagree with your statement. Hate crimes against American Jews has shot up in recent years, while thankfully anti-Muslim hate crimes have gone down.

“On today’s episode of Oh, So White People Are CRAZY Crazy...”

Oh man...the Challenger. I was in 8th grade...they rolled in the big TV on the cart and we watched it live. I really wonder/worry what marks the pandemic will leave on psyches of my own children and students.
