What Exactly Is Going On With Colin Kaepernick?

Just to follow up on my comment:

Thank you for the clarification!

I have worked with sex workers and read the writings of a number of sex workers, and one of the things that they mention is how sex work is treated substantially different than other forms of work.

Sure you can. Cast a black guy. Keep the script exactly as it is, including references to the character’s blonde hair, blue eyes, and general Aryan appeal.

Predominately, yes. There are a number of war-based games and FPSes that take place — at least in part — in the Philippines, but they generally don’t feature major playable Filipino characters. 

I’m Filipino, and I’d love to play as a Filipino game character one day. (There might be one in a fighting game, I think.)

Just for clarification, “learnt” is a common variation of “learned” and is predominately used in British English (as opposed to American English).

Also, depending on exactly how you look at it*, there isn’t really a single African-American character. *Does Lucio (a Brazilian) count?

In my view, politics means something beyond political parties and governmental goings-on. It’s a mode of talking about basic rights, wellbeing included, that are tied to demographic and social realities (Government is just how we organize that). Inclusivity is a political value. It asserts that all humans are equal…

This reminds me of when Microsoft researchers were developing wearable sensors that monitor heart and skin activity to determine mood. Their placement made a bra an optimal platform to hold those sensors.

This me. I hate 45, but I loathe this woman with every fiber of my being.

Just for clarification, the pronunciation of that would be “Fuck U.S.,” correct?

I’d genuinely feel better if she were doing it for the lols, since that would be indicative of low or nonexistent emotional empathy. I’d consider that a disability; she’d still be horrible, but I could comprehend her motivations. But she’s doing it because she has a Christian agenda. To borrow from the subtitle of her…

Secondly, are we really going to forget that the federal government stepped in with that whole integration thing? “Very little to show for its efforts.” How transparent.

What would be feminist then? I mean, I can make an argument that sex with a man (or hell, sex at all) could be seen as anti-feminist. It wouldn’t be a good or sound argument, but it can (and has) been made.

Also, I don’t know why you think you’re coming off as dismissive. You didn’t tell me I was crazy or anything.

This is an accurate description.

I don’t mean to sound callous or dismissive (and definitely not to you!), but I think that it’s a perfect example of the dichotomy between content that is supposed to appeal to men and content that is supposed to appeal to women.

Plus, the actual boob image looks more like a picture from a self-exam pamphlet.
