Or ... ask your friends. When I've asked mine, it's always been the same: don't display it. Ugh, I feel dirty for playing this card yet again, but I did spend about 10 years either married to or long term dating black women, which as you might imagine meant spending significant amounts of time in t... |

I don't know if you've noticed, but liberals today are a bit different than the type you grew up with. |

Someone who has experienced racism or who is aware the black face image is insulting to their race should not be subject to the image while browsing a thread. Hmm, should I point out that there are no boundaries on this argument as offensiveness is highly subjective, or should I go with the infanti... |

Good thing this thread isn't about them then. |

But it wasn't false at all, it was entirely true. Besides, are you really trying to argue that a misleading headline is fine? |

Nor have I ever called average readers morons. People have busy lives and have to apply filters and make choices, I get that; it isn't a statement on their intelligence. Which is why I get angry at intentional disinformation. I'm amplifying the implications of what you say; you don't seem to realiz... |

Wow, another complete non-sequitur having no relationship to what I actually said. |

Aren't we talking about people who've actually gone in search of additional details by choosing to look at the fact checks? In other words, the group of readers in this case starts skeptical. You don't think that reality changes the equation? Not when theses "fact checks" are routinely pa... |

Republican hypocrisy sounds an awful lot like Democratic hypocrisy from where I sit, albeit without so many media shills desperately trying to explain how it's different when they do it. |

^^^ IMHO your cartoon is offensive. I know it's trying to make a point, but some images should be allowed to die on the sands of history and never used for any reason. Really? Cartoon blackface making fun of a real politician who wore real blackface is your line? What is your reasoning as to why ca... |

Hah, if this actually turns into something, I'll happily eat the hypocrisy charge just to watch all the liberals try and weasel their way out of the "protests are supposed to be disruptive", "riots are the voice of the disenfranchised" type rhetoric they've been using all these y... |
