Can’t we all just agree that we’re all a little bit racist (or perhaps more accurately, racially biased)? Racism, just like the idea of race, is a social construct and we are all influenced by the pervasive elements of racism in our society—from the way our parents and grandparents talked about people and things, to

Man, this whole time I was thinking to myself: “Philly’s totally gonna sign Kaepernick because he’s a good player and that’s ultimately what they care about. I mean, they signed Michael Vick...”. Man was I wrong.

What is her lane exactly? It seems to be whatever she wants it to be, or anything that produced a non-bad result.

I’m not sure this really rises to the level of “stealing”, since it’s standard industry practice, but Au Fudge still may be legally liable. California has no tip credit, so everybody is making at least the minimum wage (unlike other states where tipped employees can be paid less as long as they’ll make at least the

At best, she’s another asshole with anger issues that shouldn’t have been allowed to have/carry a gun. I don’t doubt that she felt “threatened”, but not in the way that you might feel if your life is in danger; more in the way of having your privilege checked, like when someone calls you out for cutting in line or

To be fair, this isn’t your typical white people issue—Orthodox Jews are an institution all their own, and can exert local political power like few other groups (in Lakewood, NJ, they make up more than 60% of the population—and likely a higher percentage of the population that actually votes). Look at Brooklyn, where

Very few, if any, wealthy members of the elite will ever actually admit to being elite and/or wealthy. Everybody’s got their story about why and how they’re not part of it, and for both Trump and Bannon, they often want to have it both ways: from the elite, but somehow not of it.

Yes, although the removal of a qualified offender from the registry is completely at the sole discretion of the judge.

I mean, if you have a criminal warrant out, I don’t necessarily disagree with the policy (although why tell people if your ultimate goal is to arrest them—unless of course you’d rather they risk injury or death). But if we’re talking any kind of warrant, like a bench warrant for failure to appear at traffic court, or

Things are definitely out of balance between owners/shareholders/managers and employees/workers. Some of this can be addressed by updating our labor laws to extend more benefits and protections to contract workers and (misclassified) “independent contractors” as well as those who work in the “gig economy”. Unions

In general, anyone on Fox (their cable division, especially Fox News)  who isn’t a conservative straight white male is always selling out the group they’ve been assigned (by Fox) the role of representing, whether black, latinx, jewish, female, democrat/liberal, LGBTQ, etc. If they’re “in on the joke”, they carry Fox’s

The TVR’s grille wouldn’t look out of place with a Mercedes star emblem on it either.

Yes, and another similarity is that he’s both dumb and greedy. Had he opened the doors of his church as a shelter for those displaced by the hurricane, do you honestly think he couldn’t have held some sort of mega telethon (that one of the networks probably would have picked up) and raised a fuck ton of money (more

Rush is an asshole, but pretty sure it’s legal for public figures to have prescriptions written in the name of their treating doctor to protect their privacy.

You’d think this would be a good opportunity for Rush to sell his listeners “Huricane Preparedness Kits” (probably just a poncho, some vitamins, and chapstick so you can kiss your ass goodbye) and emergency rations. But then again, for Rush and his ilk, everything is a problem that is worth panicking about (like a

I don’t understand how even this neckless piece of shit can defend the obvious display and embrace of Nazi insignia by an officer sworn to protect and serve all citizens. We all know that police unions are always going to do whatever they can to protect (I’d stay “stick their neck out” but that obviously doesn’t

Does the $60k include the trade-in or sale of the existing Audi A6 Avant? Those cars, even with 100k miles, can still be quite valuable on the secondary market ($10k-17k), and would also likely be desired by an Audi dealer (many of which have waitlists for A6 wagons so long that they won’t even take new names) as a

We now know that even Bannon agrees there is no military option for a preemptive strike against North Korea, which is somewhat refreshing. The country’s anti-aircraft capabilities are fairly robust, and most of their weapons and radar are either well-fortified, or mobile. There’s little chance that we could launch a

It’s hard to imagine he’d say “violence on both sides” if the car had been driven by an antifa member. And if the car were driven by an illegal immigrant we’d currently be living under martial law.

Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia area. They definitely taught that slavery was the worst, but they went a little easy on the Confederate soldiers.
