    One of the best Spike Lee movies. Gripping. Great performances from Ed Norton, Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP), Barry Pepper and Rosario Dawson.

    When the levees broke is a must see documentary.

    Back to the subject at hands now... ;)

    No, didn't think the role was appropriate for a woman of color.

    I think the players/fans should stand at attention, kneel, dance, flip the bird, or whatever they feel is necessary to honor and respect the flag.

    ummm .... wut? Mayoral candidate in Hopkins, MN goes on a rant against public transportation. I know Hopkins. It's not an exurb. It's a small quaint inner suburb ... fairly liberal. Great strawberry festival.

    Bonus points for Welfareapolis ... I've heard Murderapolis and Africapolis, but this is a new one. And jackpot points for inclusive racism ... he mentions each race individually by name. How thoughtful.

    I saw the video earlier. He was about to cry, he was so concerned about the ethnics coming from Welfareopolis to shoot the white women in his town. It's a good thing for him that there are no roads into his town, and/or the ethnics don't have cars.

    Hard to believe this wasn't taken from article from 1957. With verbiage like this, I'm surprised he didn't show up to this event with an onion tied to his belt.

    I went to NYU Law...

    I wonder what NYU law has to say about that...

    EDIT = "I'm a legal scholar" is pretty good, too.

    Coz that's what they do... 'skulk'. Well known for it, they are.

    It's notable that guy's riding the L train, though, but maybe all the rich lawyers and 'legal scholars' ride the L train drinking cans of wicked strength beer wherever that is.

    https://freewilliamsburg.com/l-train-racist-says-not-sorry-video-emerges-additional-incident-g-train

    Video in the article: he's a repeat offender, having gotten his ass thrown off the G-Train in May.

    He also made a facebook post that suggests less than a full deck, mentioned in this excerpt from the Gothamist

    http://gothamist.com/2017/10/10/lime-a-rita_l_train_racist.php

    In response to criticism from several commenters, he added that he was “not that sorry I feel bad I used that word but I was making a point, lots of comedians do that; it’s the first ********ing ammendment and look at the liberal mob beating up the peaceful protester now ********ing losers.” In the video, Lawson can be heard shouting about the first amendment, and claiming to be a “legal scholar” and graduate of NYU Law School. He was subsequently forced off the train by straphangers, one of whom tossed a cup of soup on him.

    I'm mildly surprised that the district was this proactive, of course, the comments section blames snowflakery, Trump and left wing activists.

    The Sturgis Scoopers?

    Interesting area. The wife and I were thinking about heading back to the Badlands and Black Hills next summer, while we're still able to get out and hike around the place.
