Technically that possibility isn't precluded by anything he says. But it does seem unlikely to be his ultimate point.

I'd say that specifically calling white people "hypocrites" and "barbarians" kind of shows where he's coming from...
His choice of words is fascinating when you consider that he's far, far, far, far more likely to be murdered by another black man than a white cop.

I've often said before, the fact that our breeding switches automatically flip to "on" with no respect for mental development is proof that intelligent design is bullshit.

Sales guy comes here, not one of our employees, complaining about how heavy his new laptop is, and thus, he hates traveling with it.
Pulls it out of his bag...and it's still attached to the docking station...

That's awesome. I'm so glad I don't work with sales people (much).
One of the organizers of a so-called "Clown Lives Matter" peace walk announced the event in Tucson has been canceled due to death threats and online harassment.

With the numorous (sic) death threats
That "(sic)" is a pet peeve of mine. No, the spelling is NOT correct.
It should be (htisi) or (How this idiot spelled it).
Tests confirmed the man had jaundice and upper abdominal tenderness, as well as elevated liver enzymes, signaling liver damage. The latter symptom suggested hepatitis, and a liver biopsy confirmed this diagnosis.
...
In the study, each bottle of the man’s energy drink contained 40 milligrams of niacin, or 200 percent of the recommended daily value. That means he was absorbing 160 to 200 milligrams of niacin daily, according to the study. While that level is below the threshold expected to be toxic, researchers noted, it is similar to that of a previously reported energy drink-linked hepatitis, which was linked with 300 milligrams of niacin daily.
Good goddamn. Let me put this in perspective -- a normal sized Red Bull packs 21mg of niacin. This means this dude was pounding 4-5 tallboys of something per day. The caffeine content in each is anywhere from 150-240mg. That means he's taking in at least 600mg per day, up to a shocking maximum of over 1g per day, over the course of three weeks.
Electric cars can be whisper-quiet -- but that will change. If you buy an electric vehicle after September 1, 2019, it'll automatically make noise anytime it's traveling at speeds slower than 18.6 miles per hour.
That's because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has finally completed its "Quiet Car" rule, designed to pedestrians from getting hurt by electric cars that they can't hear.
Mandated noise pollution. Fuck you.

That's like some of the early laws about cars when they first came out, like "you must contact the police before entering the city in an automobile" and "any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass".
Hopefully that'll go away some time after self-driving electric cars become standard.
I've always thought raves were a brutal form of natural selection.
The building was leased by a group calling itself the Satya Yuga Collective, managed by Derick Almena. Almena, 46, who lived on the second floor of the warehouse with his wife, considered himself a “realms creator” and built found-object sculptures and stage sets for musical gatherings.

A tragedy that should have been avoided.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but one can't help but notice that these people are "anti-establishment types" who died because folks where they were weren't following rules.

Most of the dudes that rent the lofts are simply stupid and greedy. They have no other agenda. The party-goers are your standard hippies. The party-throwers are your standard carpetbaggers.

Extremes at both ends. Too little government over site leads to needless death. Too much... well, to the extreme leads to needless death as well.

I disagree about the need for government over site. If it weren't for the needless drug war then these parties wouldn't have to be so underground in the first place. It's the side-effects of bad government action that is the very cause of this situation.

No, no, no, no. The drug war isn't the reason these jackasses ran a place that broke every fire code in the book and was unsafe. C'mon, that's a ridiculous reach.
This was a place where people lived, not some secret rave at an abandoned warehouse.

Agreed. I've seen dive bars slinging legal booze that are just dives and unsafe. It's a money and class thing. Rich people do illegal drugs also, and don't burn their houses down. Though Richard Pryor caught fire. But that was because he was stupid. Because drugs make you stupid.
