Why won't I understand? Because I am too stupid? To racists? WHy? 90% of the district is white, so they should have put images of "otherisms" in the ad? And, please respond to his lyrics and content. But you won't, and mostly can't, because they are scrubbed. Sorry, but Delgado made it ab...

All of them. Trump is a racist because of his associations, Obama is not. Eric Holder, the only AG in the history of the US to be......gee, forgot what Congress did to him....said some pretty racist stuff too. ASSociations are in the eye of the beholder stuff. Trumps staff sure seems good enough to...

If they are dog whistles, shouldn't they only be audible to the "dogs"?? :) It's indeed an imperfect term. When you see someone blowing the whistle and you see the 'dogs' come running, it's not that hard to recognize that the 'dog whistle' has been blown. But unlike 'dog whistles' not aud...

but if you get into the game of guessing other people's intentions- you'll get just that, guesses. Where we appear to disagree, Chairman, is simply that I think intentions can be indeed be typically discerned with a high degree of certainty. Sometimes by the plainly obvious intent, but in the cases...

I dont believe in calling Trumpnistas or other groups with whom I disagree racists. When you make broad sweeping remarks about people, in an attempt to start a fight or light someone up, it was our job as moderators to edit or delete it. I get this and - largely - agree with the approach. UNTIL i &...

bob dylan said it (sang it). racist? nah, he didnt really mean it. ____ sang it in a rap song. racist? no, (s)he's black. chris rock said it on stage. racist? no, he's joking. ____ said it or wrote it. not racist; that's art. cosmo kramer said it, and he's racist, because he wasnt joking. because i...

People need to relax about Utah. If anyone thinks Utah beats UMass in its first year, you need to start handicapping another sport. Utah has nice coaches and has recruited a good group of players, but UMass is the same team that lost to Yale by just three goals ( 13-10)in the first round of the NCA...

"A racist ad released Wednesday in Upstate New York has doctored images showing Democratic congressional candidate Antonio Delgado, an African American, rapping. It says he has “extreme New York City values” and shows an image of two white people who would pay “higher taxes” if he has his way....

Try getting the players to respect the coach. Is there an inside story on this you might share with us? I thought Coach Tiffany and his assistants were popular with the team; at least as compared with the two Starsias. I am guessing any "story" around this theme is ultimately going to be ...

That's not what Mdlaxfan said. He said we can infer intent from the refusal to apologize. I agree with him. Correct. The word has been used many, many times by others with clear racist intent. Long history of such. So, when talking about an African American one knows that the word could be understo...

So, if one does not have a racist intent, a swift apology clears it up. I don't know for 100% certainty DeSantis' original intent in his use of the word/phrase, but it's very clear from his refusal to apologize that he's choosing to be attractive politically to actual racists. Which provides ample ...

What’s not in doubt is the outsize toll that abortion has taken on the black population post-Roe. In New York City, thousands more black babies are aborted than born alive each year, and the abortion rate among black mothers is more than three times higher than it is for white mothers. According to...

There are so many very real and dangerous problems with the op-ed I am not sure where to begin. If it is real (let's not forget that the NYT has won Pulitzer's for completely fabricated stories) the writer is neither a hero nor a patriot. If it is real, the writer has broken ranks - for what purpos...
