I think that it’s telling that conservative politicians are essentially forced to lie their constituents to keep their support. You can’t come out with a platform of “Crime is down, tolerance is up, and we’re becoming a better place for us all to enjoy together!” and expect to keep your job if you’re a conservative.…

I really don’t understand that whole mentality. It’s your right to not like the president or his policies; but when did it become okay to just make stuff up and throw it out there? It’s like you need to sit these people down like children and explain to them slowly “You are using that word incorrectly; this is how…

Awe! Look at the silly little butthurt conservative that doesn’t understand simple concepts and uses the wrong words to express his outrage.

The Manchurian Candidate’s momma was going to screw over the Communists and turn her son into a Ted Cruzesque nutbag conservative if I remember.

If serious: you’re an idiot

Seriously, Gawker Media needs to bring Malcom on as a full-time writer/analyst/whatever. Everything you do with him is awesome and a great read. Not to mention that he’s just an all around badass.

If you’re seriously making a joke about the POTUS you really need to learn what Communism means. Maybe take a world history class, they can be surprisingly interesting.

You’re not very bright. I have a recurring series of article surrounding natural hair that I post on a sub-blog that I like to think is well regarded. That you think WOC discussing their natural hair is some kind a joke tells me all I need to know about you.

No you ignorant twit I’m not making it a thing and that you brought up a fucking pink mohawk just shows exactly how much you don’t fucking know.

No Black women’s hair have been political for as long as we’ve been in this country. Your ignorance of that fact doesn’t negate it. And if you bothered to google it you’d see for yourself the issues Black women have been having with their hair vis a vis employment. Black women are wearing their hair as it grows out of…

Bullshit. Black women’s hair has always been seen as political regardless of the politics of the woman whose head the hair is attached to. It’s not merely a hair style. Black women are being denied jobs, fired, and are being disrespected for that hairstyle yet you’ll trip all over some white chick with the same one?

Trying to reply to you on the JEB post but the browser keeps crashing on my mobile. So here. :)

As a History Major, any of these glib junk social science, faux-history types annoy me to no end. I didn’t want to say it originally, because this author seems like a good egg, but evervyone I’ve ever met who likes Gladewell is rather dim.

Boehn is Bone, is it not? so his name is pronounced Boner. like santorum is pronounced “don’t google that stuff at work”

Goddamned Malcolm Gladwell again! Why do business types fall for his schtick? There is no real evidence supporting any of his pet theories and eh traffics in glibness.

The correct pronunciation was always THIGHS-man. It’s not his fault that smugly stupid journalists were too lazy to pronounce it correctly. It’s like calling Speaker Boehner “BAY-nur” when the correct pronunciation is “BUHR-nur”.
