You’re headquartered in New York, where there is a French colonial themed restaurant named Le Colonial. It’s been there for years. Never a word.

Sorry, but I had to stop watching a couple of minutes in, because it made me feel uncomfortable... throwing in clichés about being an Uber driver, selling biryanis under the counter, not paying tax... those aren’t funny jokes, they’re sincerely held beliefs among many a racist; wrapping them up in ‘comedy’ only works…
It’s almost like... they don’t actually give a flying fuck about the crime of rape.
Bernie Sanders is from Brooklyn, not Poland. My Jewish family is also of Polish origin and I don’t know what it’s like to be ghettoized through osmosis either.
And two of them immediately show up to prove your point!
Democratic socialists tend to think that way, especially considering the countries they often cite as pulling it off successfully are monoethnic. There’s not a lot of nuance there.
Exactly, he hasn’t been able to articulate that a higher rate of black Americans experience poverty because of institutionalized racism. The racism doesn’t vanish for black folk who are able to make more money. It is nicer to make more money, but it isn’t some magical transformation. Poverty isn’t the black…
I am a little confused - I thought the anger was because he basically said all black people are poor and live in ghettos
Agreed. Geographical marginalization is real. I remember finding out in high school that my upper middle class suburban area had laws on the books against selling a home to people of color until the Fair Housing Act of 63. Fucking appalling. Combine that with white flight and the economic starvation of urban…
How do you feel about Eric Garners daughter stumping for Bernie? Or is recruiting those affected by violence only ok when it’s the candidate you like?
The Killer Mike interviews with Sanders at the barber shop are some of the clearest, non-jargony interviews I’ve ever seen a politician do anywhere. It was pretty amazing.
I’m a Bernie supporter and I cringed at his answer to the racial blind spot question. I think I understand what he was trying to get at, that our society is incredibly racially segregated and institutional racism makes it harder if you’re a poor person of color vs a poor white person, but man he has got to get a…
This is exactly what bothers me about Sanders...he thinks racism is just an economic issue...
Trayvon Martin didn’t live in any ghetto. His dad lived in a gated community in Florida with armed security.
“I’ve been a counter trafficking survivor advocate since 2009. No one is interested in doing press about that for years, but suddenly Gamergate and anti Gamergate insert me into their dispute and the media wants to talk. All that does is break my heart. I want nothing to do with either side, and I find this entire…
The easy answer is GamerGate, the all-too-familiar amorphous group of gamers who organized in summer 2014 after game designer Zoe Quinn’s sex life was made public and eventually ended up at “ethics in games journalism.”
This shit is bad for all sides of the argument and all people involved. I’m strongly agaisnt removal of content or altering content during localizations. I bought Fire Emblem Fates, but I canceled my Bravely Second preorder (mostly for altered endings and editing the art book).
I was already slayed, then I noticed his Hogwarts sweatshirt. True love.
