Does this in any way “prove them right” about black folks? Hell no. Even putting aside that there is no insult a white person can receive that rises to this level; if there was, the same commenters saying “he proved to be what she called him” would think less of anyone who just stood there and took such abuse. …

This white guy agrees with you 100%.

It’s animated because the digital effects house says they “...started production of the series based on “The Witcher”...”

From the other end, as a guy looking for women, I can report that it quickly becomes depressing to wade through the flood of responses from bots and prostitutes.

Knowing that our VP would turn down a 1 on 1 meeting with say Angela Merkel or Theresa May because his religious beliefs, or maybe “values”, prevent him from merely sitting alone and eating with another woman without his wife being president, makes me feel like it’s 1875.

Not only everything you said, but this suggestion also assumes that we can accurately judge which fifth is most valuable. Sometimes the strongest horse is the obvious winner, but not always- and he doesn’t even always place. I highly doubt that Buffett knew in advance which of his many investments would be the top…

I think it’s a fairly small impasse.

A lot of these comments make Schultz out to be more perfect than Franklin.

The lines are so much less crisp than just who writes what, though.
If they try, writers can get the bases at least minimally covered in collaborative settings like TV and many movies, but most writing is fundamentally solitary and expressive of one or two people’s worldview. Even making greatly disproportionate room…

It may be obvious to you, but it’s not really obvious from the article taken on its own. Sure Wong considers time and conditions, and gives Schultz his due; but it’s stance is clearly more of takedown than praise.

I read HomerNarr’s point as “Should Schultz have started a fight that black people would then have to finish?” And he’s right- Schultz stated as much: that he was sympathetic, but didn’t want to make things worse through arrogant assumption that he knew how to fix problems that he had little experience with. These…

The hockey one accidentally (?) points us towards a relevant point, though: to do what hasn’t been done before somebody’s got to try against the odds, or it ain’t gonna happen.

Exactly.

I’m willing to consign this to ‘Schulz did about the best he could under the circumstances’.

I think representing diversity is also about paying greater attention to the breadth of the world around you; diversifying your own life so that when you represent your own experience it includes multiple perspectives.

This is exactly the situation of my best black friend. Because he lays out big truth in casual joke form - another trait you might recognize - he “jokes” that he was raised to be an emissary. His grandfather, a domestic servant, would tell him to never let “them” catch him looking dumb or lazy because it would…

That’s damn incisive reading of Glickman’s few short words.

“Marvel seems to outright misunderstand capitalism when it largely limits its marketing efforts to comic-book shops”

This almost read like a real article. Then ends with “It leave film,” revealing it’s true nature as an Amazon description of a chinese knock-off product.

He’s got a custom Conti-nen-taaal,
He got an El Do-rado, too.
He got three sharp knives just for takin’ lives;
His little girl only her two.
