No, the reports are conflicted, his motivation is unclear, and it’s just a bunch of fools online whinging about “implicit” bias, which they don’t have to prove because they can’t. Maybe you just read the first few paragraphs of that AP report, or are willfully ignoring the parts that don’t conform to your theory. …

People are fucking bragging about this on social media or something? What the fuck? Yeah, it’s obviously rape.

It’s not both because that would require a complexity of analysis that we are apparently incapable of these days.

On what evidence is that wild assumption based?

Clearly this stabbing is more newsworthy than that other stabbing because this stabbing is in the news and the other one isn’t. Also, you’re clearly racist for asking that question. Equivalency of moral outrage? What do you think we are here, rational people?

That asshole in San Diego also shot white people.

You’re really up and down this comment thread, aren’t you, “owning” anyone who disagrees with her willful outrage. Not everyone feels the same as you, nor should they be expected to.

I can’t even fathom the level of irony that went into your comment.

Well, the last thing that came into your head was definitely an incorrect assumption that you uncritically believe to be true, but that’s probably a regular thing for you.

So, what about Bill garnering more of the same criticism? Bottom line: I don’t think that every instance of criticising a woman can be attributed to sexism, nor that every instance of criticizing a person of color can be attributed to racism. Sometimes the criticism is genuinely what it purports to be. Liberals do…

Narp, but whatever. Bold and wholly incorrect assumptions about somebody on the internet based on a single comment? I can live with that.

This would be funny, if it was satire, but the fact that these quotes were really published is just cringey.

You’re pretty stupid, pal. You’re writing and the thoughts expressed therein betray you. Your outrage about other people’s supposed outrage about Obama’s speaking fees is based on false premises and selective recollection, as is this very article that has gotten you so outraged.

I understand the argument that you’ve made, but I fail to see how a company marketing to a diverse consumer base is OFFENSIVE!!! to these black women. Like, what, white women aren’t allowed to use the products that AA women prefer? LIke, if the company dares include a single white woman in the advertisement, they’ve…

“except none of those women were black”

That guy is a dipshit.

“since we were first introduced to the senator in 2015"

Asked? Nothing’s preventing her from getting on with her life. The media hasn’t been knocking on her door, unsolicited...she is the one who elected to petition the court and put her name in the news again, not to mention publishing a book and doing the interview rounds.

Based on that video, a more proactive solution would be to, you know, teach these kids how to fight.

“war is great for ratings” is a laughably simplistic conception of the media’s role in geopolitics
