Fair enough. That said, the difference between VT's African-American incarceration rate and the national rate is literally 94 people. There are only 6,300 black people in Vermont - it appears that approximately 238 of them are incarcerated. At the national rate, 143 of them would be.

That’s because there are 3 black people in Vermont, total, so when one of them gets arrested the “per capita” numbers go through the roof.

The should have had Obama do Larry’s mono too, that man has it down. I was dying.

I thought the jokes were funny. Larry Wilmore, not so much. Honestly, I don’t like his delivery.

Don’t be fucking coy. When you say “Becky” you mean “white bitch”.

Race in the Americas is a poisonous thing.

I mean the opening post alone explained that, in case no one already knew...

Don’t be fucking coy. When you say “Becky” you mean “white bitch”. You know it, we know it. I don’t care, but don’t think people are too fucking stupid to know what you mean. You clearly aren’t using it as an affectionate nickname. It means white cunt.

The beast had watched the right TV shows?

Oh! I’m sorry. :) But the comment actually says the opposite.

not sure Bernie would take it — he’d be relegated to backing her up as she continues to coddle Wall St and Hoovers up the big $$s. You think he’d be willing to negate his last 30 yrs of Progressive convictions and beliefs just to make her coronation easier? Big NOPE on that.

I still prefer him for president over Clinton, but I can’t see her picking him as her running mate. Making him secretary of labor, on the other hand ...

Or possibly Kim Davis? Gurl got FIRE.

Stop trying to get EW to leave the senate, guys! She’s where she wants to be, and what’s more, we NEED her there. We WANT her there. We want her to be there for years and years, to have important positions on powerful committees, to build long-term relationships and the influence that comes with them, and to have the…

Is this really a good idea, though? I mean, a woman POTUS and VP? Won’t their cycles sync up and wreak havoc on the White House plumbing?

Elizabeth Warren is too talented, brilliant and dedicated to fighting the country’s economic injustices to even be considered for the proverbial position of a warm bucket of piss.

I would love to see the response to an all-female ticket from pundits. I’ll bet a lot of people would be concerned that it excluded men, ignoring the past couple of centuries of all-male tickets. Honestly, I think a Clinton-Warren ticket would be great (though I don’t know if Warren would be interested).
