They paid for their ticket ... Jones just needs to grow up and be a man. He's getting millions to take any fan abuse hurled at him. Where was the commissioner during the Marlins World Series run when they played the cubs and got verbally abused. Or where was the outrage when Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker was being verbally abused by those NY fans ... double standards in a now Politically Correct world .

Hmm, I must have remembered the John Rocker "nigger" story wrong.

I wonder if potential employers would worry about someone like me since I'm not on Facebook. And while I'm on Twitter, I don't use my real name on it so I can easily deny having one. I think the only social media associated with my real name is LinkedIn, and I don't do much with that, either.

So, would not being on social media come across as being anti-social or just protective?

Eh, I wouldn't read too much into it. I'm just being super careful in case someone decides to look me up. I left public the posts of dog pictures and whatnot so as to appear as American as apple pie.

It's not good to do that after I've been drinking since 4:00 knowing I wasn't going to have to drive anywhere. I made some outlandish responses to her shit before deleting the majority of the comments. I had to keep my comment on the post calling Trump the most brilliant president ever. I have to be adopted.

Lou Reed! Trans-phobic!

Since we know the trans community is already a small percentage I wonder exactly how many people from said community are truly offended.

Because otherwise this is the part of political correctness known as Revisionist History Through White Guilt. And a small factor in why Trump won the election.

I would guess 99% of trans individuals know the song in question, and almost none find the song offensive.

Which should be an indicator to 100% of SJWs to STFU.

It's frustrating, but I did get texts from a lot of old friends I haven't been in recent contact with.

Hi all, I'm a British documentary filmmaker living in Canada seeking collaboration with a Director or Producer of color to create a unique documentary project about shadeism. The doc follows a black Canadian choreographer as she tries to bring the topic of shadeism into the mainstream through her style of Afrofusion dance followed by a live debate with a multi-racial audience. I directed this short for CBCArts profiling the choreographer and am now working with a team who have backgrounds and perspectives from Jamaica, Egypt and Canada to develop this piece into a longer documentary. We're looking for a talented Canadian filmmaker from a community of color who would be interested in co-directing or co-producing this film to ensure the story can be told through a broad and inter-racial lens. We have shot a teaser and are at the pitching stage of development. To find out more check out the CBCArts piece below and the doc's website. If you'd like to chat more about getting involved please get in touch at

I'm an atheist, but I suddenly feel like joining this religion. Especially if it dabbles in Twerkology. I'll pray to that all day long. And I look forward to the cookouts and complicated handshakes. I want to make a difference.

IN CASE YOU DON'T REALIZE IT, IT'S NOT NATIONAL BARBEQUE DAY, MR. MILITARY NON SUPPORTER GUY.
