Jon Stewart nails it. It’s nice to hear a prominent liberal admit there were significant problems with the Mike Brown case but the Eric Garner case was much more clear. Absolutely insane. ~ In other words, we were lied to last week ~ @MHanson62 While I appreciate your Mother’s military service, her combat footwear is inappropriate and unflattering. #UnwieldyInsults ~ Maybe *they* do know we are seeds. *They* throw fertilizer on us. ~ I wonder how large a donation Monsanto made to the HRC to get that ranking. ~ defriend me because of a facebook comment? you were never my friend ~ ob’s sounds a lot like obese ~ You might want to consider that “practicing racism” is a two way street. Does it include the person who perceives themself as being persecuted ~ When decrying racism opens no door and teaches no skill, it becomes a schoolroom tattletale affair. It is unworthy of all of us: “He’s just a racist” intoned like “nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!” ~ I was in the mood to read disgusting facebook comments. “Louise are you just posting psycho babble in every Salon post and you don’t even read the gotdamn article? Get back on your meds sweetheart.” ~ @PublicWagon All I do is consume and complain about it. ~ I think there may be more to this story. Mr. Carageorge joined the team as a “walk on” last summer. Apparently, he saw football as a path to glory. What were his motivations? Did he see this as a way of getting a scholarship? Did he just want to play football for Ohio State? This is a sad story. I agree that there is a lot of exploitation of athletes, especially at the college level. The thing is, we are going into the post season, and the winning teams will be awash in glory. The players will be paying with their pain, for both the winning and losing teams. ~ How many poets does it take to change a light bulb? ~ Does ATM mean Automated Teller Machine, or Machines? I know the WMD is weapons, plural, of mass destruction. POC is people, plural, of color. The plural of medium is media. Sometimes an s at the end of the word is not needed. ~ This tweet is getting some attention :Kiara Rhodes @NthnEvenMatters Dear White People, Stop telling us what MLK would think of today’s world. Maybe we’d know if y’all didn’t kill him. Thanks, Black People 11/24/14, 7:20 PM from Desoto, TX Here is a reply. Dear Black People Stop telling us what Malcolm X would think of today’s world. Maybe we’d know if y’all didn’t kill him. ~ you can always stay at home and watch netflix ~ You’re the Nile, You’re the Tow’r of Pisa, You’re the smile On the Mona Lisa. I’m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop, But if, baby, I’m the bottom You’re the top! Cole Porter ~ Do they have a choice for “Like, except I don’t know the specifics”? People are way too proud of their opinions. ~ I am not sure if they are beside the point. Often people exaggerate to make a point. This makes other people doubt their honesty. Maybe it would be best to stick to the truth and not exaggerate. … Thank you spell check I usually have trouble with words like exaggerate. ~ Cigarette smokers must get an exemption on the no idiot policy. ~ ” and we can’t keep making decisions in the same way we did in the 1980s” When were you born? I believe it was in the late eighties. You were not making any decisions at all. I can see several sides to this discussion. The eighties, and first half of the nineties, were an experience I would not wish on anyone. I am very lucky to be able to type this sentence. ~ Local social justice warriors are too busy with MO & NY to notice an execution in their own state. People only care about what the corporate media tells them to worry about. ~ People, take a timeout from screaming about Ferguson. You can point fingers, and holler racist, later. It may be too late to worry about Wayne Holsey. Activism isn’t about results, it is feeling good about yourself. Activism is validating your privilege, by pointing fingers and crying about racism. ~ The clemency hearing was today. It was denied, and the execution happens tomorrow. You can make arguments both for, and against, this execution. Whatever people say now will make little difference, either in the Holsey execution or the Ferguson/Staten Island grand juries. The media cheerleaders are egging people on about the out of state grand juries. That must be where the profit centers are ~ pictures are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”. ~ selah
