Not clear how writing that I have difficult feelings for Asians, because of the way many of them have treated me, makes me bigoted.

I suppose the ability to read is necessary for someone to understand what I wrote, but it’s cool. I’ll sum it up in one sentence: having a friend (or acquaintance) of whatever demographic doesn’t make ok to say or do racist shit at their expense.

Do white people have a different understanding of what a friend is than the rest of us? I have Asian friends (a Mongolian AND a Korean!) who I count as such because their sons are my son’s best friends. They seem to be nice people, but I know calling them friends doesn’t eliminate the difficult feelings I have for…

“I have this same exact fear about anxiety meds. “Oh, I can’t ask for xanax/adhd meds because they’ll think I’m drug seeking!”

No. No I am not drug seeking. In this context “drug seeking” refers to someone trying to obtain drugs for which there is no current medical necessity. I’m not doing that.

“Sounds terrible but don’t discount the shit that medical professionals have to go through now that discourages them from prescribing anything that could become addictive. There has been a huge pendulum swing that is creating problem for legit patients that need pain or anxiety/mental medication.”

I’m not looking forward to a similar doctor visit, a upcoming long assed flight makes necessary. I have been getting anxiety on flights since my thirties, after I’d flown frequently for more than a decade with no such issues. Part of my pre flight tradition includes depriving myself of sleep so I’ll be tired enough to…

Fuck that’s insane. Aside from the sheer stupidity of judging someone for how they dress, there is the well known fact that a whole bunch of innocent things present like drug use or drug withdrawal. A medical professional is supposed to know that and act accordingly. I’ve had to go to urgent care and endure the side…

“He has not denied the events. Just say its sad. Then he redraws himself from several projects. That are not the actions of innocent men.”

“I have never understood that. Why do we need to encourage people to join STEM programs? A person should pursue what they like doing. If you need to be encouraged into a field, you probably shouldn’t be there. It is not like people aren’t sufficiently exposed to technology today to decide for themselves”

When are we going to address the fact that cops lying, making shit up, fabricating evidence, falsifying reports and all that sort of shit, justifies questioning everything they say? The reports cited in the story you refer to basically state that the woman called the cops because this guy made her uncomfortable. Since…

DAMMIT. When this asshole was suspected of burglary a few weeks ago, his beating off in a parking lot was brought up. I remarked that while that could be a sign of a pervert, it depends on the details, cause mebee it was a dark, empty parking lot. Even when it was revealed that he was caught in a parking lot in broad…

I caint lie, I forgot all about Nas’ abuse of Kelis. It’s not about excusing this kind of behavior. Shit.... I stopped fucking with Aaron Hall, and K-Cee AND JoJo (since I can’t remember which one of the 2 abused Mary J) back in the day, cause of their abuse of women, and have similarily dismissed several other…

Yes, but that’s a bit disappointing for me.. For me Jay-Z was a great Lyricist, but closer to being one note than someone called “the best ever” could ever be. For awhile Nas’ wider selection of subject matter, including some conscious stuff (I know, some ignant shit too, like many popular rappers) put him above…

Can we be honest? No question she’s racist, but I’m convinced that this insistence on respecting the troops is built on the expectation that we should all share the “ask no questions, willing to fight and die on whatever battlefield, for whatever reason our leaders send them there” attitude that the service members in…

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I think he’s got a half decent shot. Trump and whoever is helping him with this, are being very strategic with the use of the pardon. He has signaled to people who might implicated him that he’s got their get out of jail free card waiting. He’s shown people who think like he does that they can be as corrupt as they…

OOooohhhh, it’s much worse than that, my friend. I watched some of the coverage of the press thing in Singapore with my mouth wide open. Trump is so far out of his depth that is astounding. Kim got out of his limo holding a briefing binder. Trump got out of his looking “tough” without a damned thing in his hand, and…

Nah. You are thinking way too small, and you should listen when this asshole says “reciprical”. NK has extracted ransom from the US and its neighbors for decades. Food? Oil? Undisclosed aid? SMALL POTATOES. Multiple sources say NK has in the neighborhood of 10 TRILLION in mineral deposits. UN sanctions currently…

These... words Mike quoted from the terribly out of touch media might be just what we need. No really, follow me here. The Democrats have always taken black folks for granted. Hell even after black women have showed their capability to successfully run campaigns, win office, form the biggest block of voters and get…
