They should paint the 50 black.

Im glad he canned the goverment unions. Never was there a more wretched hive of scum. Long live the private sector unions and thier roughneck rank and file!

Is Russell Wilson so intolerable? The take home message from the Deadspin commenters: I hate everyone.

Not a reach at all.

Exactly. The article is beating around the bush, but it’s saying “This is an argument used by racists,” and then straw-manning it. The truth is as you say, black culture doesn’t serve black people. And Mr Nutty accurately points out that this culture is a result of oppression... but this argument discards the agency…

i kind of agree! “black culture” did indeed develop in truly miserable conditions and in presence of systemic oppression. also, poverty clearly plays a part in violence! there is a very clear positive statistical correlation between the two. however, I don’t agree that violence is purely a result of capitalistic…

Maybe because he thinks we are supposed to have a preconceived notion of how Sherman should feel about this issue? And yes, by mentioning the “context” of one side being more similar to what conservatives or Jason Whitlock, two obvious and frequent targets of Deadspin/Gawker ridicule, might say, it’s painfully obvious…

“It’s an argument found much more frequently in conservative than liberal political circles, where it’s often used as a polite way of saying that the disproportionate violence in black communities isn’t an outcome of America’s history of structural racism and its related ills, but of a unique black pathology.”

This reeks of condescending whitesplaining.

You sound like a moron.

Man, this post was excellent until the hoping-for-his-death part. Why’d you have to ruin it?

This article could not be a bigger, more petulant, wet blanket. I voted against him twice (yes, it was a vote against him), and obviously don’t view his presidency favorably. But he was awesome in the few months following 9/11, and this moment was a highlight (when I/we still needed one) that still gives me chills.…

College kids are wholly unprepared for the real world? You don’t say!

Yeah jeetz

Am I still catering to the Deadspin/Gawker target audience if I say that story has;

Oh my god. Would Goodell have that player executed if he went through with that in an NFL game?

There is no such thing as “the original white people,” because there is no such thing as a “white person.” There have been too many waves of migration, too many tribes riding in off the steppes and over the Carpathians.

This is a myopic view of history. People all the way through history see someone not in there “group” (race, nation, religion ect) as the other. The other is always the barbarian.

Did Russia built itself on enslaving Africans? Did China? Listen, there are plenty of people who deserve plenty of blame, but pointing the finger at every white person is as racist as the people you’re addressing.
