BYU doesn’t let its students drink alcohol.

“There is no country that I can think of where black people are treated poorly simply because they are black except for America. Are there racial problems in other countries? Sure. But it isn’t as bad as it is here, especially where I live in the south.”

But it’s the NBA playoffs. More than 50% of all teams make it in. That’s definitely not the case with baseball or football. Seems like that’s not the fairest criteria for cross-sport evaluation.

One day Texas will go blue, and at that point the Republican Party will have to do some serious self-reflection.

Half of the Republican slate for President is going to die of rage stroke.

It’s like if Obama actually named Stephen Colbert his vice president. Satirists aren’t always seen as 100% legitimate.

What if you don’t abort the baby that becomes the guy that kills new Einstein?!

Whether they sincerely recognize the pain it causes or whether they’re merely being politically expedient, I have to say that I’m impressed by the willingness of Republicans to take down the flag with this kind of speed. It’s only been a week, and we’re seeing real efforts to have flags and other Confederate icons…

“Taking down the flag cures the disease of state-sponsored racism. No in suggesting it will do anything more.”

No, they don’t. They ask about race (white, black, etc.) and ethnicity (Hispanic). Thus, in the census it is identify as white-Hispanic or black-Hispanic for the census.

Oh, come on. This is a legitimate point. Look into the work of sociologist Ellis Monk, who is doing really interesting survey work on how skin color conditions the effects of racism (though his work heretofore has only looked at black people, I believe). Unsurprisingly, the darker your skin, the more negative…

The NBA champion will come from Golden State, Houston, Atlanta or Cleveland.

Indiana seems more like a female name, anyway

“With help from the government comes responsibility,” said Assembly Speaker Robin Vos in a news conference prior to debate.

More dangerous than any other Republican, I’d agree. But it’s not 2000 anymore. The electorate looks substantially different in 2016, the electoral votes are distributed in ways extremely beneficial to the Democrats, and all the inroads-building that W. did with Hispanic voters has been slowly and systematically…

This is still the least important and worrisome aspect of racism. What matters is not whether person a thinks that blacks are inferior to whites in terms of whatever quality but rather quality of education, stratification in terms of job opportunity, disparities in terms of policing and sentencing, etc. I don’t think…

In two decades, Texas will be purple, and the Republicans will never win a Presidential Election ever again.

“It’s truly amazing that these eagle-eyed politicians manage to spot food stamp abuse every time they go to the grocery store, especially considering that SNAP fraud is thought to be extremely rare.”

Because someone somewhere, once, made a novel reference to 1940s British war propaganda and apparently everybody decided to run with it...

Insane that bone-crunching, brain-destroying violence is appropriate, family-friendly viewing but a few swear words and female anatomy is worthy of governmental oversight and action.
