i think mac is going in the right direction. it's not really all that useful to characterize a city as "racist" or even "segregated"--it's useful to analyze individual cities' situations and determine... |

What's wrong with fanning the flames? Here are Venkatesh's words (posted under the headline "What Is the Most Racist City in America?"): "And I was surprised how openly some of the city’s African-Am... |

I once was with a couple of friends going to a game in Seattle when one of my friends jayalked and was also stopped by police. I guess they take the walk/don't walk signs seriously out in Washington. ... |

Good stuff! They also have a couple of decently-sized TVs to watch sports, but beware, they do close early, and if you want to drink you must purchase a full meal to go with it, per their liquor lice... |

It must have been a slow news day, if this is the best he could come up with. I'm sure the Times is quite proud. As someone who grew up in the city, the racism is there. It trickles down from the old... |

Also, Jocelyn, don't take my comments as a personal attack on you...I just don't agree with the comments made by Bonds in the referenced article. I actually think your top ten list is funny and cleve... |

I see that you have paired your DIY roll with Pabst Blue Ribbon, a wise refreshing move. And yes, to all the naysayers, PBR is worthy enough for pairings!... |

Venkatesh's article is intellectually lazy, but it does raise the good question of whether there aren't significant differences among kinds of racism. I am sure that racial "incidents" in Boston are f... |

I liked seeing the old-timers. I wondered about what Willie Mays was thinking when he got next to Manny. I wondered how fast a pitch Bob Gibson wanted to hit Manny with. Also, the sight of Wade Boggs ... |

I LOVE Jason Giambi's mustache. Whenever he's at bat I want them to zoom in so I can get a closer look at it. I'm obsessed. It's like a bad 70s porn stache but sleazier since it's on Giambi in 2008. ... |

Apparently every food stamp dollar spent in the state generates $1.84 in additional economic activities, so stamp away! Preaching a socialist ideal doesn't really seem like a good idea. The $1.84 fi... |

Yes, Vermont officially outlawed slavery in 1777, and there is no record of any slaves in Vermont after 1790. This puts Vermont ahead of all other states, and far ahead of New England and the Northea... |
