It does not matter if I know a child who has brain damage as a result of the lead poisoning in Flint’s drinking water- the fact is, would you think a joke like “we flooded LSU’s stadium like Hurricane Katrina did!” would’ve been okay in the 2005 season? Because it’s a callous and insensitive remark that is making…

Zukka isn’t being obtuse; he’s just not explaining himself perfectly.

Are you saying that Deadspin shouldn’t criticize any shitty gameday signs because it writes about the creative, interesting ones? Wouldn’t that put the site in the pocket of Big Sign?

I know it’s a stupid sign; that’s why I wrote that I hated it

Why on Earth is Trump mentioned but not Obama? As of this moment, Trump is a private citizen; Obama is President and could revoke the pipelines’ permit immediately. Instead Obama said he wanted to wait and see this played out about a month ago and has been silent since. If this pipeline isn’t shipping oil by Jan 1…

If the law were equally applied, that treaty would still apply and this would be Sioux land.

This is a good reminder that even under one of the most liberal presidents of all time (how he is percieved anyway. Maybe someone else was actually more liberal) the system is still FUCKED.

I blame the protesters for not being born heavily armed white men.

Remember folks. The Army is here to defend our freedom! Provided we keep it in proper designated areas.

Difference being that one was a puppet installed by an imperialist superpower and one was not. One can acknowledge Castro’s oppression of dissent while also finding it ridiculous that Americans still somehow think they have moral authority to condemn him on human rights. This attitude is simply preposterous.

That Kaepernick article really falls apart at the end. The writer’s experience leaving Cuba was clearly terrible and extremely relevant, but the way he tries to brush off the US’ mass incarceration problem lacks as much nuance as Kap’s argument. As if families are only broken up in the US when the crime is murder.

You don’t even live in the US. Your only insight into the election is what’s being filtered to you online from dumbass Trump bigots. Great job.

That image is bullshit, Trump is a direct result of the highly regressive, racist, misogynistic tendencies of the right.

The weight of the minority should never be greater than the weight of the majority.

Actively supporting the things you are being called out of spite for being called them is, well, pretty much the best way to say “I almost certainly am the things you are calling or, at the very least, just as bad as they are.”

You’re fighting racism with more racism. That makes you just as bad as the devoted Trumpites. There’s a reason that MLK caused strong social change in the entire country and Malcolm X is a footnote.

Ahem: go fuck yourself

“How DARE they call me a bigot! I’m gonna show them by voting a bigot into the White House.”

If you voted for Trump because you’re mad that somebody, somewhere called you a racist bigot, you’re a fucking moron.

I fail to see how a voter in New York or California has less of a worth than a voter from anywhere else.
