If you click over to the article there are pictures showing before they grew beards to dupe hipsters into paying 10 bucks a bar for remelted chocolate. It's fucking hilarious and reminds me of the duck dynasty bros.

Is a hipster’s word worth nothing these days?

I have a hard time believing that an artisanal, locally-sourced, hand-crafted, gluten-free, organic, bean-to-bar chocolate maker would misrepresent their product in this way.

I like chocolate fine, but it’s low down on my list of preferred sweets. I’ll almost always choose a fruit or spice flavored option over chocolate.

Met the Mast brothers at a party. Nice enough guys, but it was a birthday party and their “present” was like, 20 bars of their own chocolate. Some of us opened a bunch and shared them....never seen so many polite “mmmm...so good” grimaces. I’m not sure that adding pepper to chocolate justifies a $12 price tag.

I don’t tan either. I burn, and when the burn goes away, I somehow become whiter.

I tried not to be mad at him back when he did that piece on Barbecues and Black people. I got he was being funny and describing a particular reality that I’d seen as well, even if it wasn’t my experience as a Black person.

To be blunt, it’s a particular experience of formerly Southern, formerly extremely poor, Protestant, Black families.

Michael Harriott’s Minstrel Show has GOT to end.

I mean, I do get that it’s somehow supposed to be humorous, but...we don’t live in a world where Black people aren’t constantly stereotyped about every little aspect of life, from what we eat to how we speak. So that’s where it falls flat. Not to mention it has obviously inspired a bunch of white people to say

This article and many of the comments are the WORSE.

I really don’t see much room for commentary on women’s success here, though, accidental or otherwise. It’s more about how social media and presenting an idealized image of our lives has become so all-consuming.

Maybe don’t post a screenshot of what could be someone's trauma? Please? For the love of god...

WTF. Why are you distributing these images in this post, and via Twitter?!?! It’s completely insensitive to your readers and to the victim. You’ve been click-bait for some time, but this is just disgusting.

Jesus Christ. (Assuming) a girl has already been raped, and you have to go and post video footage of the unbelievably traumatic assault online for the entire world to view? How fucking horrible of a human being do you have to be to force a rape victim to deal with the horror of not just being raped, but then having

Oh, but haven’t you heard? If you hassle a Muslim, he turns into a terrorist. On this left and right agree: Muslims have a natural tendency to blow people up when they’re upset.

I think their actions qualify as “there’s more to this story than meets the eye.” I’m pretty sure when he turns 21 and gets out from under his parents, there will be an interview where we learn a LOT more about this kid’s father and the kinds of actions he did.
For instance, did you know that:
The father was a Sudanese

By the police? Maybe. By the teachers? No way. If someone brings a device that could pass for a bomb to class they have a responsibility to investigate it. There’s a lot of anti Muslim bigotry in America right now. But there’s also liberal witch-hunts for Islamophobes. This is the latter.

The sad thing is I can see him in ten years with a crappy beard and taqiyah and his finger in the air, spouting anti American rhetoric and we have no one to blame but ourselves, really.

Just got to say, though, that making this a big ado over civil rights - which it is - in America, and then moving to a place like Qatar (after being photographed with war criminal Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir) probably isn’t the best look. I’d have at least have passed on the latter. I get that his parents are
