America is fine with a permanent underclass; it’s just when they ask to be treated with dignity that the “problem” comes in.

11 years in BOH did wonders for my world view. Working 10-12 hour days with cats from El Salvador (or Guatemala, or pick one) and hearing what they went through to get to America versus me just being born here can change your perspective quick. Don’t fuck with service industry folks; it’s a goddamn hard enough way to…

That’s a pretty sad commentary on your day then.

The difference is LeBron has decided to flex his power, on and off the court. Instead of waiting for mostly mediocre coaches and GM’s to luck into getting talent, he took the wheel. Instead of being nothing but an avatar for marketing, LeBron has decided to stand for things.

I can’t even imagine Jordan having to survive the 24 hour news cycle and social media. I think MJ’s greatness is being over-inflated by a bunch of 50 and 60 year old sportswriters that don’t want to face their own mortality. They tend to ignore the years he had bad teammates and whitewash the two years he just flat…

Oh hey! One white supremacist got in trouble for starting a riot in Charlottesville. I guess the nation isn’t a fucking disaster then. I just have to ignore everything else that NPR, the Washington Post, my own life experience and years of reading actual history books have been telling me.

But the actual Nazi we saw shooting a gun at this kid in another video is going to get what? The key to the city? A job with Charlottesville PD? A weekend show on Fox News? This whole fucking country is a disaster.

Get out of my head!

And men speaking out against it is the only way these sort of things will stop. It’s not on women to stop misogyny. It’s not on POC to stop white supremacy. Asking the people being marginalized to fix the system keeping them down is pretty awful.

I dug up my CD collection last week looking for De La Soul is Dead (although still can’t find it) and was amazed at all the really good records that I just forgot I owned. I have been listening to a bunch of them in my car, keep getting 2 or 3 songs in and then realizing how awful some of the lyrics are. I didn’t…

The look that “what are we not listening to” guy got was well deserved.

“Evil” doesn’t really seem strong enough to describe her.

In general, the folks bitching about other people not “controlling” their kids in public need to pull the stick out of their ass.

If it’s wrapped in nationalism and American Jesus ™, I think/fear straight, white, god-fearing “patriots” will go right along with anything if they get to be on top of the pile.

How much garbage do you have to talk up for Kinja before they release your loved ones?

It looks like dude was just bitching about people’s kids in the most obtuse and verbose way possible.

I have reached the point in my mind that we’re past a tipping point. Way too many citizens are gleefully cheering our decent into dictatorship. Now my only real question is how many nations we are to be broken into when the rest of the world decides they’re tired of us.

It takes more effort to unlock my phone than it does to set off a firearm. We are the dumbest fucking country in the known universe.

Dude I forget shit I wrote three days ago on here. I bet if you showed me my internet activity from that far back I would look like a looney (more looney anyway).

A Deadspin writer with thin skin? You’re talking crazy (he says from his permabanned account. You’re still a scumbag Burneko.)
