This will give you some background on that picture.
He was not, and apparently neither is Leslie Jones. Because apparently Hollywood hasn’t gotten the message that black people go to college now, too.
He wasn’t a scientist, he just answered a classified ad I think. However could he, by default, be labeled a paranormal scientist after all the shit he saw and did?
FINALLY! I am pretty happy with what I see so far! Couple things kinda concerned about but will see how the full movie handles it. A nice silly trailer.
Because the chops it takes to be a business leader and the chops it takes to be a civic leader in a representative democracy are almost completely mutually exclusive?
I dunno, I see both sides of the issue, but I’d rather there actually be more female or minority characters than just rewriting established characters to be tokens. “Ok, for black guys we got Nick Fury, Captain America, Luke Cage.” /throws six darts at the wall. “Ok, just added Johnny Storm, Jean Grey, Medusa, Bruce…
Wow, way to totally ignore why people were saying that it was a “damned if they do damned if they don’t”. Seriously, not one mention of the actual argument that these people were making.
Counterpoint: No it doesn’t.
So, I’m a business owner and real estate investor, and his business record is not impressive. He started with millions of his dad’s money and proceeded to use corrupt, purchased influence over politicians to build just enough equity to leverage himself to the sky. Then he used the free cash flow to make himself flashy…
WOW real trump supporters! I thought they were all too busy being casual racists and having sex with their sisters to be on the internet.
Well it would be different if he actually was successful and did it all himself from the ground up. 1. He inherited a ridiculous amount of money from his father 2. He would have made significantly more money by just sticking it all in index funds and doing nothing. So he's an asshole, a trust fund baby and a bad…
Is it really worth replacing a half-decent politician with one of the worst non-politicians in history?
This is a classy strawman made of the finest 24K gold. Look at the great, tremendous quality of that argument.
Ah, the envy/jealous retort, never fails.
Do we have to pick just one?
There is a Black establishment, largely driven by church leaders and the like, and they do a wonderful job of turning out voters for preferred candidates. The Clinton’s have a natural advantage with the Black establishment and Hillary knows how to tap into it. For what it is worth, I am a 39 year old black guy, and…
Shall we perhaps give black voters a tad more credit instead of saying they are voting against their interests? Perhaps older black people in the south, a group that has arguably faced the greatest battles in this country, do not buy the idealism of Sanders. I like Sanders but for supporters of Obama, Clinton is a…
It may be, I just didn’t want to overstate the point because this is hard to quantify. The intellectuals and activists I pay attention to support Sanders, but I’m biased because I support Sanders, so the discourse I am reading is slanted toward that progressive, intersectional thinking. It’s also difficult to get an…
I’m baffled by this myself. My GF says its because way too many of ‘us’ aren’t doing our homework and voting solely on name recognition and who our pastor says to vote for. I don’t totally disagree.
