You are not the only one. I'm surprised none of you have noted they more closely resemble a duo of supervillains, no doubt planning their own Legion of Doom.

The ties Ball traces between his forebears and their slaves are never more distressing than in their representations of the intimacy of so much of slavery's cruelty, never more moving than when some glimmer of humanity emerges amid the system's brutality. Thus Ball especially struggles to understand the evidence he…
Then you are extremely naive, about both human nature and human history.
Why do we have to choose? WHY MUST WE FIGHT????
She decries the feminist label and claims sexism is dead...until she finds it useful, like when she blasted the New York Times for only mentioning her in a parenthetical compared to male late night talk show hosts in February. I imagined my sustained on-air presence would eventually triumph over any possible gender…
I'm well aware of what cognizant means, and have been for some time. I don't need the dictionary definition or the correct spelling of the word, but the commenter so concerned about "needy" females and capitalizing "high school" clearly does.
Really? You are familiar with slavery, I presume? Were slaveholders committed to the equality and humanity of the people they owned as property and raped and whipped with impunity? You do know Senator Strom Thurmond spent his career in Congress arguing for segregation and denying civil rights to blacks, while all…
I suspect you are like Sisyphus pushing that boulder up the hill, but thank you anyway. You expressed this beautifully, and with far more patience than I could muster.
I am long time Anglophile, and Piers is not what I consider cheeky. I will certainly defer to native Brits on that, but this level of obnoxious bluster has to rise to a level above "cheeky".
There may have never been a better GIF than this. Damn.
I'm sorry, but what is "cognisangt"? Between the use of the word "females" and whatever that conglomeration of letters is supposed to represent, I couldn't make it through this, let alone take it seriously.
I direct you to her interview on Howard Stern about the end of her relationship with 50 Cent, plus every time, including last week, that she's used the "I can't be a racist because I sleep with black guys" excuse, and try that on somebody more credulous and brand-new than I. Perhaps someday people will learn that…
He's a pompous, disrespectful blowhard who countenances spying and bullies guests. She a racist shit-stirrer who thinks she's advancing feminism by trolling and throwing other women she doesn't like under the bus, and then asking for dudebro points for being so "edgy" and "an equal opportunity offender". So I come…
But Brad Pitt choosing not to do sex scenes is not the same as Angelina forbidding from doing so. One is a gesture of respect, not required but freely given (presumably), the other is about possessiveness and control.
For someone who claims to want discussion, you aren't very skilled in actually eliciting it or engaging in it. You are, however, certainly conversant in moving the goal posts. Nothing in your original comment linked either the specific experiences of these students of color at Harvard, or students of color in elite…
Your argument is that in a post in which students of color discuss the microaggressions they face as minorities in elite institutions, microaggressions which question their intellectual capabilities and make assumptions about their behavior and character, microaggressions which take a psychological toll and can impact…
This was me 25 years ago. I was in college around the time that douchebag Dinesh D'Souza's Illiberal Education, a distorted screed against AA, started making the rounds. It was not a pleasant time to be a POC at an elite school. I see very little has changed since. I'm now a counselor and administrator at a small…
As I said, you reveal much about your own intellectual and topical bankruptcy in your desire to derail and your reliance on lazy profanity. But since you obviously have so many people agreeing with your perspective here then please, continue spitting into the wind.
The issue you are raising is not germane to this particular discussion, and it is dismissive and disrespectful to attempt to derail the conversation to something you'd rather talk about. This isn't about how you can be smart even if you didn't go to college or that state universities can be as valuable as the Ivy…
