Those snowflakes!

Black people don’t say it. It is an old white people, boomer, and a bit older, thing. There may be a connotation of white politicians dividing up political spoils and deciding what crumbs will be given to “The blacks.” There is old fashioned political division of spoils that is associated with those words.  Maybe I…

Celebrities in general, are concerned that they might be ruined in the future, because they wore blackface.  There is every possibility that the pressure on politicians will eventually be focused on comedians and actors.  In any event, I was responding to a specific reply to my comment, that referenced “Orange is the…

They have tried various butterfinger variations. I had a Butterfinger Crunchy at my store, that was marketed in parallel, but not replacing the classic. Perhaps the two bars are now merged. I will contemplate this while I eat a Butterfinger-Peanut butter Cup.

An interesting effect of higher tax rates is that it changes how people invest money. Either people go for some higher risk return, because 2% on a CD minus 70% is less than zero after inflation, or alternately, they bid up assets that are regarded as the most secure, like tier one flagship real estate. Willingness to…

I would comment again on those topics, but no weightlifting post to comment to in days, and I think Hamilton Nolan is really sensitive about allowing criticism of his various economics, manifestos.

I don’t have a twitter account or twitter rage.

Didn’t write that Trump was not a racist or that he had to say the “N” word to be one, not anywhere.

First and foremost, it is my hobby to comment to posts on this family of websites, not just The Root, but Gizmodo, and so on. I believe I posted for the first time a couple years prior to the decline and fall of Gawker Media. I comment if I see something interesting, for fun. Or to respond to people who reply. But, in…

Julianne Hough, “Orange is the New Black” actress, wore blackface in 2013:

That’s just it. Trump is not a “The Blacks,” vernacular, user. He is “African Americans” all the way. Someone told him he would be more successful doing business in NYC and Nevada, and with black athletes and other black celebs, if he referred to them as African American. He took that to heart. Sadly, he is too addled…

I’m not Tomato Face, though.

I detest Putin though.

Comparing black people who make spurious accusations of racism, to HIV is racist.  Also HIV does not spread unabated in the U.S. anymore.  Wake up and smell the 21st Century.

Remember “Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Pendulum”? American politics today are like the Pendulum. Obama’s Presidency was to the left of anything in recent experience. Trump’s Presidency has been further to the right.  Most likely, whether Trump wins or loses in 2020 he will be followed by a swing to the far left.  Every Dem…

Yes, I admitted this on the thread here, already. Sadly, I am afflicted, like most wypipo. It is quite difficult being one, though, I assure you. “No rest for the wicked.” However, I do not discriminate against people of other races in employment or housing or other areas of public life regulated by various “Titles.” 

I find it amusing that the people who so desperately want Trump to have said the “N” word are Dems, Liberals, and POC and any combinations of the three.  Why not focus on awful things Trump actually says?  

You aren’t quoting me.  I didn’t write that or anything of the sort.

Fairfax, should an impeachment trial be held, because of the criminal as opposed to political nature of the accusations, would doubtless receive a trial that would resemble or parallel the process of a criminal trial.  That means there might have to be evidence, like the kind that might result in a criminal…

In my opinion, the Central Park Five did commit crimes related to the attack on Trisha Meili, but not rape.
