I also enjoy the blues musicians like Muddy T and Booker Waters. Actually I may not be black, but i’m very ‘down’ with this new rap thing.

All members of an oppressed minority group, like for example you ten-percenters, are required to learn to spell the words "diversity," "minority," and "prejudice" before using them in public posts. My thoughts, salutations go to you in this time of orthographical inaccuracy. Brentin, did you not get the memo?

There are exact specifications for how many characters can be in a headline, and while you may be able to go a couple under, you can NEVER go over. So they use the comma trick and a couple others to get the most out of their space This is totally irrelevant, but I thought I’d answer RobboS’s question:

And really, do the management "staff" of the Minnesota Vikings really expect anyone to believe that their prayers to demon-god Abaddon will really help Kenechi Udeze? Maybe the newspaper article was referencing actual Vikings - not the football team, but the actual Norse thugs that routinely invaded, raped and pillaged the British Isles that so many of you poor commenters call home.
