Exactly! They're already too long.

I'm guessing it's for the same reason they don't cover white-on-white crime. If you look at neighborhood demographics, the U.S. still exhibits high levels of racial and economic segregation. It makes sense, then, that crime perpetrated by a black person is more likely to affect another black person. It's the same reason why crimes committed by white people are more likely to affect other white people.

He also said it's not confirmed, only speculation from people he has talked to.

As we wonder about where the dawgs are on LSU's defense, it reminded me of this video.

Hoping for just a little improvement against Mizzou. Let's GEAUX!

If you're a cheap-arse like me, fire up the VPN, open an incognito window, and visit Strikeout's football live streams.

Damn! So happy for him. Didn't even think he was playing this season.

LOL kudos to her. she popped back up pretty quickly and kept going.

What did Burrow do/say for OP to give him this label? The guy is 25, right on the cusp of Millennial/Gen Z. Even controlling for other factors, younger people are typically more liberal (politically and socially) than older people, and a ton of polling has shown that the trend continues with Gen Z.

The only thing I remember Burrow being in the news for lately---besides football---is the launch of his new foundation to help economically impoverished communities. Is that being woke?

Previously enjoyed Crain when he would guest on local sports shows. His new show is part of The Daily Wire---a media company co-created by Ben Shapiro. Seems like they're now following Shapiro's model of super hot takes just to be provocative and talking fast to sound intellectual. I mean, the coffee thermoses on the tables say "Liberal Tears." We get it, guys... if anyone disagrees with your opinion, they're a snowflake, and you're totally not betas.

Racism doesn't exist like the media would have you think. It was virtually nonexistent before Obama was elected. We regressed 40 years while he was president.

Unfortunately, I can't tell if this is meant as sarcasm.

My original post was directed at what seemed to me to be a lot of mental gymnastics and effort to talk about anything except the racial component of the attack, the white-nationalist ideology that fueled it (and the media that promote it), and America's unhealthy gun culture that makes it more likely for hateful thought to become harmful action.

So, instead of seeing tons of comments explicitly condemning the attack...full stop, it's a bunch of "Hmmm, this seems very convenient for [insert liberal group/cause]" and "Hmmm, that manifesto seemed to well-written for an 18-yr-old, so..." and "If they think abortion is ok, they should be ok with this."
