Yeah, I’m being racist against my fellow black people by using an analogy. Troll better.

Well its a good think Coates never advocated for any of that -

Cornel West called Coates, a person who argued for the paying of reparations, a neoliberal. Reparations is about as un-neoliberal as you can get. He fails to understand the basic terms he tosses around.

Yeah. West probably only wrote a review trashing Coates’ book to pretend he wasn’t embarrassed after incredulously mocking the book for its title, both not recognizing the reference and completely misreading where Coates was going with it (itself a sign that West just holds Coates in automatic contempt, because…

One of the driving forces behind him leaving Twitter is this idiocy posing as “debate” or “commentary.”

You guys only cry about colorism when you’re the victim. When people start making fun of dark-skinned people you’ll be the first to cry or be claiming “black is beautiful” or talking about the history of ethnocentrism in the United States. Stop going cheap. Do better.

People who say things like, “lightskinned is a mentality” are exactly the kind of people I want to avoid meeting in real life.

As of right now this sounds to me like a mental health/substance abuse thing, which means we are owed, and should expect, no explanation.

Oh please. If anything, the refs are being kind to him. It’s like how Gronk complains about getting called for pushing off more than anyone else in the league. If you commit an infraction all the fucking time, the refs are being lenient by only calling it every now and then.

If you think Draymond deserves less ejections, not more...you are absolutely a Warriors fan.

Yes. Draymond could be thrown out of every single game but isn’t. NBA refs suck, but not because of Draymond.

Mostly.

They’ll eventually figure out who you are Draymond.

You lost me at, “in a post-The Secret world.” I mean, ugh.

I kind of get where he was coming from, although it was not very artfully stated.

Many assume LGBT people already have civil rights protections at the federal level.

That’s very true. I do think that liberals in general just don’t place that much weight on this specific issue though. There was a poll during the election that I’ve been trying to find that showed that for conservatives, the Supreme Court was one of their top priorities. It was more important than Obamacare repeal.…

Yeah but let’s be honest many of us “progressives” or whatever term you want to use have always been happiest when fighting each over other hierarchy/ranking or ideological purity than actually fighting the conservatives.

Conservatives, especially religious ones, have always been better about recognizing the value of this than liberals are. I firmly believed that the death of Scalia and the vacancy on the court was a game changer for conservatives who might have blown off this election when Trump eked out a win.

Did anyone expect anything else? The last- gasp plea for Hillary Clinton holdout voters was “at least think of the judicial appointments!” And here we are.
