There was a sports anchor who used to work at NBC 4 in DC before moving (to chicago, I think?). He was a very athletic and fit man, yet he died of a heart attack in his 30s, while playing basketball.

For the love of God, it’s an indisputable and widely evidenced fact that Latina women are at the bottom of the food chain, pay-wise.

One example a trend does not make.

Yes. Her general point distracts from the problem and frames it instead as some sort of competition among minority women instead of a fight against white patriarchy.
But I also want to call out one of those tweets embedded for its logical fallacy because there are enough legitimate points to bring up in this…

All the talent in this movie and y’all focus mainly on Beyonce. Smh

Intent matters. It doesn’t solely define racism, but it most definitely matters; it most definitely can make racist outcomes even worse. Do not discount and dismiss intent as a cause and outcome particularly as it relates to solutions.  Finding intent helps us find who will and will not be a part of the solution; this…

I’m guessing  Cruz is Filipino. Many have Spanish-sounding surnames. 

Nah, keep him a hole for his life until he dies of extreme old age. Death is too good for him, it is too easy and too merciful, let him live for a long time only seeing daylight through barred and grime encrusted windows while the world goes on without him; so he sees just how much he has wasted and thrown away.

Yeah right. Every unlimited free speech free of consequences person I’ve met of any race, religion, or walk of life thinks it only applies to others and gets up in arms when that hate is directed at them or theirs. This guy would have a fit if somebody spray painted “cracker” or “crucify Christians” on his or anybody…

Brown doubled down on that defense this week at a select board meeting, the Globe writes, with the 88-year-old telling the room he would “exercise his ‘Second Amendment right’ if anyone tried to take away his first.”

the mass greying wasnt to get rid of tomatoface, it was to give libby watson and other poor bloggers an echo chamber.

Moonlight actually beat La La Land so I’m hoping for the same thing

How about we not tell people how to live their lives?

Is this the appropriate forum to discuss my lifelong obsession with Queen Latifah?  

I am making no statement about what really happened. This whole thing stinks of a cover up. However, I am saying that this statement:

Unfortunately, no. Until a person is actually convicted of a crime, we have to say alleged because of the very same rule of law that you reference. We can be sued otherwise. 

You are so often on point, but this is some dumbass timing. No one literally believes that Pittsburgh has a uniform culture of altruism and mutual respect. And some of us (you and I included) are 100% that such “aspirational” accounts of our city are total bullshit. If you think that these stories are literal, or not…

The whistle is gone. They are screaming the quiet parts now. Get all your fam and get them to the voting booth on 11/6.

I am growing tired of explaining to my white colleagues why blackface or brown face or any face is wrong.

Megyn Kelly is 3 years older than me. Blackface was not “okay” when we were kids. It was not “okay” when my mother was a kid, even. Here’s the thing, Megyn: Just because white people felt comfortable doing something that mocked powerless people and no one tried to shame them for it, does not make that thing “okay”. It…
