Good for him for having his own opinions.

Unfortunately, he'll be condemned by BLM for "not being black enough" because he looks like he's in a suburb and didn't speak in ebonics.

Same with Blacklist.

I had to spend half a day in the last week changing all references of "whitelist" to "allowlist" in a codebase I work on. It felt like a total waste of time.

I'm loving that these stories continue to pop up! I don't think I've heard of a single person going the opposite direction yet.

They put "opinion" in a slightly darker shade than the background at the top of the page, so they're allowed to say whatever they want without evidence.

Huh. At first I thought "Of course it's different. Trump is a public figure and criticizing him, even with extreme imagery, is acceptable."

But then I realized that if they did the same to Obama, the media would go ballistic.

A "yes" vote supports this constitutional amendment to repeal Proposition 209 (1996), which prohibited the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, and public contracting.

How exactly did the Republicans come to be the racist ones? This is explicit legislation to prevent racism.

It's mind boggling to me that anyone could think that submitting "fake" ticket reservations accomplished anything. The website made it perfectly clear that seating would be available on a first-come-first-served basis. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together could figure out that a venue can't possible hold all 1 million+ people that "reserved tickets".

This is excellent - thanks for posting this! I'm glad to see some video of this.

What does a VPN achieve this in case? I've never heard of an ISP doing anything shady with respect to someone's political views? And I'm skeptical of the usefulness of an IP address for a website.

Everyone should download this video so we have a bunch of backups. This website worked well for me: http://twittervideodownloader.com/!

Multiple journalists confirmed that the video, which was shared by President Trump, is edited and features a fake CNN chyron.

WHAT THE FUCK!? They needed multiple journalists to confirm it???? It's obviously satire!

We'd just need to trust someone enough to handle thousands of dollars responsibly. Admins would meet that criteria automatically. I'd find it hard to trust a random user.

I have to dissent here - we're looking at road rager that's decided to take vigilante justice on a single guy on the side of the road. The driver could have easily kept driving to deescalate the situation, but instead they opted to create a far more dangerous by crossing traffic and running someone over. The driver could have seriously injured or even killed the "rioter" here. Two wrongs don't make a right and we don't win friends by cheering this on.

I'm genuinely struggling to see how the professor's response was, in any way, "woefully racist". It wasn't even snarky. The questions he raised are about legitimate implementation details of her suggestion. This is why we can't have a legitimate discussion of race, because as soon as anyone asks the smallest of questions they get labeled as a racist.

If BLM wanted actual systemic changes in policing, they'd be cheering this on. But they don't want reform. They want domination.

36,000 NYPD officers in total and 292 reported injuries is a 0.8% chance of being injured. And that's saying nothing about stuff that wasn't important enough to report. Imagine coming into work and realizing there's an almost 1% chance of going to the hospital. Fucking nuts.
