Freep started using the phrase black privilege if anyone's curious. Sort of the other side of the white man's burden.

So the beginning and end of said privilege is being able to say "nigga". That's what they're referring to right?

On what pretext? Some crowdfunding sites let you raise money for a medical procedure, and an abortion is no different.

The evangelical endgame is to turn the courts into a judge of religious 'sincerity' in a way that privileges their beliefs above those of anyone else.

I think they call that Sharia Law in some parts of the world.

Yeah saying that special word is the prime example of black privilege. Also stealing from whitey.

So one of Christie's goons pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in the Bridgeghazi scandal in exchange for implicating 2 others who will probably be indicted. The lawyer for the one that pleaded guilty indicated that evidence is going to emerge against Christie, which is likely signalling that he intends to turn state evidence against Christie. RIP in Piss, presidential ambitions of this fat angry piece of poo poo.

Eh, he lost his chance to be president when he fired off the hug heard 'round the south. Not president or in jail is probably his best possible outcome at this point

Do conservatives just imagine Al Sharpton is some kind of violent instigator, or do they actually read/hear things he says and interpret that as a call to arms? He's always brought up as the worst racebaiter for saying that we should look into the deaths of black people who are killed for questionable reasons, while also saying we should avoid violent protests.

Fun fact: I told my conservative mother that she brings up Al Sharpton like he's some kind of boogeyman, and her response was "He IS a boogeyman!"

My father has the usual suspects on his Facebook and whatnot and also brings up Sharpton at every opportunity ("he's in the White House EVERY WEEK!") Last week he brought up that Sharpton went in front of crowds and said "What we need is more dead cops!"

Which, of course, didn't come out of Al's mouth, nor was he there where it was chanted. Nor has anyone from NYC come forth and said "yes, we were the ones chanting that." But, well, try telling people who watch certain news sources that.

Y'all the only good thing about Al Sharpton is that he pisses off white people. Of course that's also the main bad thing about him because as soon as he enters the debate the well is poisoned.

If your mom was 60 years older she'd have called MLK a communist agitator from Moscow too. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

This is bullshit though because it means one was just looking to hand wave the issue away simlply because "RACE HUSTLER" Sharpton shows up to say a thing. gently caress him.

Yeah, I've felt like the two SCOTUS decisions in June were going to be a 'give some, take some' situation for a while now. And since public pressure more or less forces a 'give' on gay marriage, well...

Your silence only incriminates you further.
No one who thinks Al Sharpton is a 'race hustler' is ever going to have a debate with you about race issues. It's an excuse for racist people to check out of an argument without saying something more overtly racist.

I've noticed lately that there seems to be a growing resentment of the GOP among military members. I'm not certain if this is just my shifting circles, but it used to be the Republicans had majority support, but now pretty much every member of the military I know thinks "tries to get me killed in stupid wars", "tries to destroy the VA" and, new in the news, "tries to gently caress over incoming soldiers by supporting predatory lenders".

I'm actually seeing a lot of anger at the GOP over that last bit right now: The Republicans in Congress came out massively to support the predatory lenders and car dealers that prey on fresh recruits and folks do not seem to be happy about it.
I've been out of the loop for a good bit, I'd like to learn more about this predatory lender stuff. I've seen some rumblings about this on Facebook but not much elsewhere.
