When your country colonised half the world, and gave all the crap jobs to the "lower caste" for generations, and yet you now complain that the guys checking your bags in the airport aren't white enough, nevermind they might well be born and raised in the UK, several generations since even? What R U?
Arron Banks bitching airport security at LHR aren't white enough.

As Guildenstern, about to meet his death, observes at the end of "Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," there is a randomness inherent in life, but this alone allows for the possibility of free choice. Nothing is inevitable. There is always "a point where we could have said 'No!'"

I find it baffling that Labour does not seem to get this. By equivocating on such a core issue, they’re making their own voters unsure about the core values of the party / government and hence more susceptible to voting for someone else.

Lake Ontario is the Native American name for said lake. The Canadian province is named for the lake. It's a far more authentic American name than "America" actually, which is named for Italian mapmaker and explorer Amerigo Vespucci, or "Mar-a-Lago," which is sort-of Spanish for "Lake by the Sea."

Such a great, economical, self-incriminating tweet. Your one moment not to make a petty complaint, and you make it, revealing what kind of person you are, which is of course why she would not be interviewed by you, which is also conveyed in the same sentence. Social media is not all bad.

I do truly love a good Pilsner beer at sunset, and this excellent local German Pilsner is 1€ (about $1.15 or £0.85) per bottle in the local grocery store. A man could get carried away for cheap in Germany if he were to let himself!

What I want to know is: just what the hell does it mean to be "white"? Are we talking external properties here, and if so what shade of brown is the cutoff point? Do we use a Pantone chart? Or does he mean DNA, because mine says I'm 4% Ivory Coast - is that shade of ivory white enough ror this fool?

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...
This past May, a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air medevac plane took off from Roswell, New Mexico, and headed west to the town of Ruidoso to pick up a patient. It shouldn’t have been a challenging flight for the two pilots and two nurses aboard. The temperature was 69 degrees; the sky was clear. The 60-mile journey normally takes a half hour, at most.

But once airborne, the plane ran into trouble. At the White Sands Missile Range that night, US military personnel were conducting a GPS jamming exercise that left the King Air pilots—and anyone else within hundreds of miles—unable to use modern navigation systems. Forced to revert to older technology, ones that they rarely if ever use, the medevac pilots got disoriented and crashed into the side of a mountain. There were no survivors.

I feel like we as a society have done this three-step move where we've come to define things as: (1) a comment is only racist if the person truly intended it to be racist. (2) How can we ever know someone's true intent? So: (3) Who can ever REALLY be racist?

It's like Wikipedia. Years ago, maybe still, the BBC's music pages drew their band bios from Wikipedia. I went on to our Wiki page and wrote all sorts of nonsense about Hayseed Dixie creating the internet, solving Pi, etc. then screen-shotted it on the BBC's page. Great fun!
