I had a professor in graduate school that would sometime respond to long pauses in class discussion by making the observation that “When it comes to motivation there are two types of culture: praise culture and shame culture. Praise apparently isn’t working today so we’re going to switch to shame.” And then he’d…

He shows up in my dreams occasionally. He’s always just out of reach and I’m trying to get to him. My dream psyche isn’t very subtle.

Not everyone is overweight for the same reason, but broad brushes are fun, aren’t they?

I’m not saying that people aren’t fat because of their own choices, but there are other factors in this as well. Capitalism and mass agriculture have made it cheaper to feed your family and high crab food with low nutritional value…

Um... what you’re paying today is based on the GOP’s new healthcare laws. So blame your 2018 insurance rates on them.

Stop being an idiot online. Everyone can see you. You are claiming a stereotype based on race and refusing to provide any evidence to support it. That’s the very definition of racial prejudice.

LMFAO. So you don’t have any evidence to support your racist statements? Okay. Cool.

This.

Alex, I’ll take “Pedophilia” for $500.

You don’t have to invoice someone. I’m an actual attorney that gets paid to give ethics talks. Here’s two examples from my real life:

1) I’m sitting on a couch at a New Year’s Eve Party and some guy I’ve never met before set next to me. I was introduced as a real estate attorney. He immediately asks me if I can give…

If you’re going to invoke them, then cite to them. Why the fuck should I have to do your research for you?

Not a racist.

He’s a racist troll. He goes on to every post on here about race (except The Root - I think he’s scared of black people, he believes they should be gunned down by cops) and throws a fit about liberals and race.

Oh, and progressive identity politics have us Trump.

Wow. You really should stop being stupid on the internet where we can see you.

Go look at this guy’s post on other statuses, he thinks black men deserve to get gunned down by the police.

Young black men are arrested more for drug use as they tend to have weapons and warrants.

Ugh. So much this. My metro has a number of school districts in it, and the one I live in is the oldest and majority poc. My small neighborhood is pretty nice and doesn’t have many kids around it, but every time there’s a school break, this older white lady posts in Nextdoor, “Make sure to lock all of your doors and…

I’m lobbying really hard for history to refer to this phase of the scandal as Cohenchella

Speaking of exceedingly stupid, can I get everyone on board with calling this scandal “Cohenchella”?

1) You’re packaging your message in a racist way. If you really are a fellow liberal (my assumption since you keep implying that I’m hurting “us” by your assumption that I’m a progressive), stop reacting negative to this and realize that it’s a criticism you should address by asking yourself, “why do people think my…

If you take Table 21 from the 2016 FBI data on crime statistics and combine that with Census Bureau data, 2.5% of white Americans were arrested for a crime. 5.7% of African Americans were arrested for a crime.
