What a shame this guy wasn't able to use the Splinter policy of silencing all dissent after saying something publicly stupid.  

I miss you writing on a more regular basis.  Glad to see you are still awesome.  

What does "power imbalance" really mean anyway?

I suppose if you were legitimately harmed or offended by this article, innocuous doesn't belong here. But if you really were harmed or offended by this article, you should take a long, hard look at your life.  

It's important to have limits on your empathy.  You wouldn't want to be too forgiving of someone accidentally.  

Thankfully, the “smug dick shitting on an innocuous article while asking, without any sense of irony, if something really needs to he written” is fertile ground hitherto untouched. Otherwise you’d look like an asshole.

If anything, the cartoon character is somehow more sympathetic than the real life dude.  Possibly because I expect something like The Boondocks to be over the top outrageous.  I would love to know the first words that came out of that reporters mouth after she got back in the news van.  Her face was priceless.

They need a lot of things over there.  Taking their fingers out of their ears to hear truth would just be the start.

Anyone that refers to their fellow humans as NPC’s is rightly ignored as a child. If you’re willing to erase someone’s humanity from your mind because they disagree with you politically, it’s probably better for everyone that you’re not being listened to. 

Why don’t old people just get out of the way and live out their years somewhere far away so we can ignore them?  That they keep trying to be engaged with the world is simply rude to young people. 

What does “never part of our biology” even mean?  

Yeah, when people haven't had to play the "Food vs. Rent" game, they're just fine with burning institutions down without regards for the fallout.  

Did this article get cross posted to Deadspin or do the racists just have alerts set to Michael Harriot stories?  So much grey, misspelled, poorly punctuated rage flooding the comments.

Beyonce is trash?! “Crazy in Love” should still be the number one song in America to this day.

“Do you seriously think the police and national guard are going to shoot at americans at that scale? Like not responding to individual crimes, but “Those guys on the west side of town? Go kill them all”. “

“Still I think it’s important for the opposition to our current government situation understands how their words can be taken out of context before they’re uttered. It doesn’t help things when all that is remembered is an out of context soundbyte."
