Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

My identity politics comment was aimed at Sharpton, who looks about as black as I do when we switch our lens to class politics. Anyone who promotes the idea that "the only authentic black folks are those that come from the ghetto" needs to disappear from public view.

you are the media you consume.

Re: Wednesday Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Just so we're clear: It wasn't really Al Sharpton in the song.

But I agree. I'm not a fan of Sharpton as a person.

As a presidential candidate, I love him. Absolutely hilarious in 2004. Nobody does one-liners like him.
