Please, you’re just calling him a hack because of what he has been accused of. Your wearing smoke tinted glasses. The man is talented. Despite his reprehensible actions the man is talented.

And why were you attracted to him?

Most of those same men see the woman’s education and creations as ornaments with which they can adorn themselves. It’s easy, as a young woman, to be flattered when a man seems to take an interest in your writing. But trust me, his interest is fueled by the subconscious thought: “I think I deserve an educated companion.

So much pain, so much anguish and all too real.

How is Belgium a cultural “ally”, whatever that means? Take your Eurocentrism out of your ass because it’s bullshit. We probably have closer economic ties to Saudi Arabia than Belgium.

You’re interpretation of the literature is off base. The brain is plastic, the only thing hardwired is it’s ability to learn. Race based facial recognition is learned. Btw, kin does not equal race. Feeling kinship with your siblings is not the same as feeling kinship with some rando down the street who happens to…

Those weren’t “jokes” at all. They were statements with no humor inherent in them at all. Unless you find hanging black men funny.

Seemed like a brilliant experiment to me. Now they can run further experiments by tailoring it’s environment.

If plot, character, motive, dialogue and meaning don’t matter to you, why are you concerned about the critics? Why even read a review?

You do realize that not all Americans are white, right? When you say “us” just say “white people”. I don’t feel any particular closeness with the French, Flemish or Walloon and I certainly don’t value their lives more than that of humans in the Middle East. And of course, that would still be inaccurate because you…

“What part of the human experience would make that even remotely likely?”

And how does what happens in Belgium affect me more than what happens in Turkey?

You do realize that Turkey and Tunisia are allies, right?

Like when Kenya was hit by terror attacks? Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia are all allies and far more important allies than Japan. It’s race/religion, stop being so PC.

Are you really that ignorant? You really think white Americans think Turks and Lebanese are white? Or the same sort of white as the French?

Again, that doesn’t explain the extent of the news coverage. And you’re being really PC with this. It has nothing to do with how common the violence is. Terrorism is rare in Ghana. You think if an attack was carried out there it would get the same amount of coverage? Look at Nairobi with the mall was hit several years…

You must be young. During the Second Intifada coverage of any attack in Israel was covered extensively.

More baseless claims. At an early age children can’t even recognize themselves in the mirror how are they going to assign kinship to random faces. You’re actually wrong, children not only can differentiate the faces of people from different “races” they can differentiate the faces of apes. Please, stop misinterpreting…

What does you inane and baseless claims have to do with the responsibilities of journalists to report the news with no bias?

I’m American, not Flemish or Walloon, why the hell would I “biologically” care more for them rather than a Turk?
