These cops disgust me. Turning their back on the Mayor at a funeral, for daring to suggest they might need to clean up their act? And every time i see one of their spokesmen, they're whining about how they were only arresting people for selling looseys because that's what they were told to do...

Great. Now the #deathtoallmuslims hashtag is trending worldwide. Fucking humans.

Since this seems to be a term which has caused confusion among some posters, I thought I'd post an explanation. Racialism is sometimes considered synonymous with racism, but often refers to frightening racial ideologies rather than mere run-of-the-mill bigotry. While racial prejudice is...

Story The radio says the FBI is investigating a 20-something white guy. Not sure what this is - does the use of an IED make it a terrorist attack? Does the apparent target and race of the apparent perp make it a racist attack? or is it just a lone nutbar doing weird shit for no apparent reason...

We appear to have dug up a stinking, fetid mass of putrid anger over the past 6 months, starting with the protests in Ferguson and continuing via both professional and mainstream media. These events - a string of black males dead at the hands of police, and the resulting nationwide protests...

How dare you try to join the International Criminal Court! Who do you think you are, seeking justice as though you were entitled to a voice? We'll teach you! Israel freezes Palestinian tax revenues ...because collective punishment has been working so well these past 25+ years...

1. Rejecting and Mocking Accepted Sociological Terminology. Although the study of racism and racial bigotry has been part of the social sciences for decades, Highly Affected Racialists either studiously ignore the accepted terminology, or pretend not to understand it. An example of this is the...

Link Only these assholes could equate "putting poor people first" with cutting food stamps.

I suspect that race issues are made much harder to discuss here because most people hear the word "racist" and think of some sort of misanthropic asshole like Archie Bunker, the kind of person whose attitude is best summed up as "I fucking hate those goddamned [insert racial epithet here],"...

...because silly threads make me happy in my pants.

Over the years, I have often heard bombastic, over-the-top declarations that there would soon be a revolution in the USA. I've always laughed these absurd claims off as wishful thinking and hyperbole. The reason is simple: revolutions happen when people are so desperate that they are willing to...

...because all lives matter. Whenever there is a new story in the news about a black man dying at the hands of (usually white) police, there is a rush to dissect this specific incident and explain why it's not a case of racism. There are a couple of huge problems with this reaction: first, it...

Why are there two three dumb questions threads?

A recent study revealed that the last 4 elections - 2010, 2012, and 2014 - showed the same pattern across the nation: The majority of Americans voted for Democrats, but because of gerrymandered districts, the great majority of seats were 'won" by Republicans. This is not only true on a national...

OK, so sorta pseudo time travel. No going backwards, I have too much respect for simple logic to even go there, but rather the going-forward-faster-due-to-speed kind of travel that's already engaged in (albeit on a tiny scale) by astronauts orbiting Earth. Relativity, and all that jazz. What...

If we can build a pipeline to bring oil from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, this should be a breeze: Build a water pipeline connecting the upper Mississippi with the Colorado. Of course, there would need to be some tweaks. For one, no biological material could be allowed to flow from one river...

We are experiencing a global crisis caused directly by capitalism, and solutions are not forthcoming because capitalism provides no incentive to research and create those solutions. The problem? Antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. How do these strains occur? There are three major culprits...

Think about it: without religion, we wouldn't even have the concept of evil. We'd have good and bad, but those would be based on personal preference and experience, not some pretense of universal morality. Like "Sam Adams is pretty good beer, but PBR is just bad." But that's just the beginning...

How is it that none of the stories about this planned execution see fit to mention that both of the condemned men "just happen" to be black?

Has anyone else noticed how often politics and fucking overlap? Or sucking, or having a "wide stance," or walking the Appalachian Trail? Seriously, the very idea of politicians reproducing should be enough to give you night sweats.
