I think this is the most realistic step that I could actually see happening in the next couple of decades. 

You may just be phrasing things poorly. I don’t think you could have the lack of perspective that your comments suggest. People who are suffering day-to-day aren’t just choosing to stay miserable. And I can assure you that those suffering in Florida aren’t frequently stopping to appreciate the multiculturalism while…

No offense but WTF are you talking about?! “Why don’t poor people just make their lives better?”

Great take. I think you nailed the problem. No individual in Mississippi has just tried to make the state less shitty. That’s all it takes, right? Just one person that says, “I don’t like this. I think we should change.” And just like that, a whole state—that involves three branches of government, special interest…

Oh....and thank you media for giving Mississippi’s fractured Republican voting block a reason to rally around a fairly weak candidate by making a big deal out of a comment that has no racial connotations. There is nothing that activates the reactionary Republican vote (particularly in the Deep South) more than stories…

He was a representative previously, not a senator.

This is not a hill that I care to die on because I’m from Mississippi and Cindy Hyde-Smith is a complete joke and could very well be a racist (though I cannot confirm). And it is a weird saying that I’ve never heard before (or any variation) and pretty dumb to say. That said, there is absolutely no racial connotation…

You misspelled Vicodin.

I’m a Saints fan and I always assumed he slept about 2 hours/night and subsisted on a mix of uppers, downers, and scotch and occasionally ate food.

Of course you do not HAVE to. I can’t imagine the anger that I would have in your position. And taking an open approach to these individuals isn’t appealing and doesn’t seem fair. But what is your goal? What do you want to accomplish?

I don’t know. I’m White. Far be it from me to offer up or agree with a blanket statement about how members of an ethnic group of which I do not belong identify. I’d be a terrible human being taking a giant shit on multiculturalism if I did so.

The false hope is a product of looking at minority groups as monoliths in terms of voting patterns. If you look at the demographics but then remember that about 35-40% of their Hispanic population will vote Republican and a large chunk of the Black population is Caribbean and politically uninvolved, it becomes more…

“Also, what happened to the Puerto Rican vote? Did it not materialize? Or was it perverted?”

I think we can probably leave their sexual practices out of this.

Florida’s non-Hispanic White voters are majority Republican, though less so than the national population. Of course, it is a majority among what is still a major…

“I am so sorry, Floridians of color. You deserve better than DeSantis.”

From a Southern Dem, congrats and great job. The demographics just aren’t there yet for a Texas flip....but you guys probably got as close as anyone could reasonably expect and are on track. I think Beto was the one to do it if we were about 10 years down the road.

If Texas flips, it is not going to come easy. It is…

I was really interested to see what happened in Tennessee, as I saw this as being a test of if there was still a future for the Blue Dog Dem-style politician. I think that his failure to even keep the damn thing close really drives home that the 2010 midterm purge of the Blue Dogs was the end for that style of…

I’m a cynic about sports figures. I don’t put athletes or coaches on pedestals because I don’t know them. Mullens has a limited skillset and no, he probably will never be a regular NFL starting QB. And yes, he played the Raiders. But I watched this guy get brutalized in the pocket for two years at Southern Miss…

If only DJ Durkin’s teams were as offensive as that comment.

You’re commenting on Deadspin!  And I’m going to assume that’s your way of acknowledging that you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. 

It is not about race. It is about a bias that scouts have for certain traits. Height is at the top of that list. Arm strength is shortly below that. There’s a long list of guys who didn’t fit that mold (black and white) who have been successful and a long list of guys who did (black and white) that have not. I would…

Thank you for at least pointing out that the very premise of this debate is stupid because Mahomes WAS DRAFTED REALLY FUCKING HIGH.
