1) The devil doesn’t need an advocate for sexism

I’m in tech too and I’ve started to feel a little more comfortable in my job since I been around for two years so I’ve started subtly mixing in some of the black-ass t-shirts amongst my normal video game and geek culture shirts. I ordered one with the Living Single lyrics on it and I’m eyeing a whole bunch of shirts

I LOVE being the unbothered, unimpressed nigga where niggas aren’t supposed to be. That’s what wakes me up in the morning, because that’s literally my job every day.

Yeah, I’ve never heard of freaking them either and I’m black.

This was pretty much what I was going to say. It’s not about deaths or number of deaths or people. It’s about dollars. As long as the NRA keeps funneling money into Republicans’ pockets, the GOP is going to sidestep this issue and let people die. After all, it’s rarely their own kids or family members who have to run

Yeah, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and even Star Wars aren’t really nerdy things. They have huge followings from all kinds of people. Obsessing over the minutiae is the nerdy part.

This was one of my major complaints. Why are most or all of the worlds in OASIS “loving recreations” of games and media created between 1975 and 1995? Nobody was creative enough to come up with anything new? The irritating thing about it is that’s not how gaming and media works now, anyway. As video games continually

GIRL YES.

As someone who works at a tech company...nah. Not all the Dans are nerds. Some of them niggas is just chill.

While I completely disagree with your comments on food...this is true.

I learned about sugar in grits when I moved to Atlanta. People in Atlanta definitely eat sugar in grits.

My bet is Philly/South Jersey. I got family from there and that’s how they say it.

But the whole point of the article is that no, it didn’t. A lot of people are going to believe and keep believing that the protest this Sunday was about Donald Trump and free speech. The original message of racial equality and police brutality is lost in the media coverage of this on.

And I’m just saying, that’s the same kind of shit white people say when they read hard truths they don’t like. “Oh man, the headline is just so mean though.” “Ugh, Black Lives Matter? Why can’t you just say All Lives Matter, it sounds like you’re excluding us!”

Also proving the point. Why aren’t black women fixing all of my problems for me? They should be doing the work and not me...in fact, it’s THEIR fault that I only date non-black women. Yes, that’s right, let me offload all of the responsibility onto the sisters.

What on earth would a piece that addresses black women look like?

Your argument is essentially “being compared to white people is threatening to black men, so we shouldn’t do it.” Nothing in your article challenged the actual validity of the argument; you just object to the title because your and other black men’s fee-fees got hurt, essentially.

So first of all, running away from some shit because you don’t like the title or because it makes you mad is 1) pussy and 2) the real white people shit, which proves the point. Damon or any other writer shouldn’t have to coddle people into reading articles that tell hard truths, and anyone who casts themselves as a

It’s not just slavery...the culture teaching that Black people ain’t shit didn’t stop in 1865. It continued through the end of the 19th century, right through the 20th century and is still around today...it got more and more subtle over time, but it’s still around.

Nope nope nope nope nope.
