Are you saying fear isn’t real? I’m not sure you can separate emotional intent and effect from actions like that. Fear is a recognized ‘fact’ in our legal system, and has been for centuries. The crime of terrorism depends on the ‘fact’ of fear.
The sad thing is that everyone is taking d-bag at his word here. He…

Not sure that’s correct. He says that some Trump voters were motivated by something other than racism, and that is who Dems need to persuade.

We’ve always called this “negro points.” If you earn enough you can cash them in for all kinds of prizes from the catalog.
The Tao that can be spoken, literally explained that the current Palestinians are directly descended from people physically located on the land pre-diaspora. That those people never left. That they have always been there. He shared that there is direct scientific evidence that the jewish diaspora formed the nation of…
Why are you so afraid of people fleeing brutal violence?
Why do you keep saying they are a ‘problem?’ People fleeing brutal violence aren’t really the ‘problem’ variable in most, if not all situations, are they?
In case you mean refugees in general are problems, being that they aren’t from here. If this is the point you’re making I’m sorry that you find people fleeing…
Agreed, we all have done this. But the selective release, like in so many other cases, is almost always done to paint the narrative as justifiable even if it has NOTHING to do with the killing. Castille had THC in his system, Brown had an argument with a store clerk, Sterling owned a gun, Rice had a toy, etc. etc. The…
I also find it interesting that the ‘released’ helicopter video, which would have shown the supposed vandalism, was cut to just before the shooting, yet the body cam video is nearly 20 minutes. What does the helicopter video actually show?
If the video showed him breaking windows they would have released it to bolster…
Onan Coca seems to be quite the prolific ‘journalist.’ Seriously though, I’ve always figured this to be the case for pseudo-science health articles and real-estate scams online, I just never thought about how deeply this cottage industry built on suckers is entrenched in our politics. This is sad... bigly sad.
Cracker is not racist in that it does not connote inferiority, only a difference. Or to Michael’s statement, a reference to “whip cracker.”
Now “sad melanin deficient sack of regressive genes struggling to find any purpose in existence other than the luck of not being bred into extinction” is racist AF.
I’ve interned these last two semesters at the Public Defenders office here in KC. Graduate in May (fingers crossed that they don’t discover their mistake and kick me out before hand), but I will say this... Cops lie. Not once in awhile. No they lie all the time and every time. The truth is a rarity, if ever. And they…
I took it as, if your roommate tells you about her harassment or assault, you don’t just listen/comfort. Inform yourself on the resources available proactively and make sure she knows about them when/if the time comes.
Well someone needs to tell HR to update the shared Google doc of the “who’s down” list. I almost spilled the beans yesterday with some rando on the bus about my “round earth” dividend check from NASA. He seemed cool since he knew the Chemcloud formula, but damn man, they need to hand out name tags or something.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m a good person!”
Remember the good old days when conspiracy theories were just a handful of extremely powerful people manipulating others without their knowledge to stay powerful? Now they involve thousands of participants, sometimes on global levels, actively and intentionally deceiving the public with no perceivable motive but to…
The “+ power” to an ‘ism’ has always been problematic for me and feels more like a justification than a legitimate definition. Ageism is a belief that an arbitrary category of age is viewed as inferior or superior compared to your own. Does it matter if it’s a teenager or senior citizen? By this definition, only those…
He is a 71-year-old ‘she’ from Texas.
My wife likes to say “the translucent.”
After reading J40's racist screed, I got the distinct impression this person was a woman. Something about their sentence structure screamed unhinged old white lady. A quick google later and it seems Mrs. J40oaks is just living up to her septuagenarian Texas crazy.
Albert Burneko over at Deadspin gets her hatemail too…
