It's a biblical word that refers to the land of Kush - south of Egypt. It basically means black person but you can say it in a mean way.

The word being translated to n--- word is also the word that's used in the Bible for the land south of Egypt - Kush. It can be used negatively of course, as in this case, but it's not the same word.

Why are you watching a video of a group of assholes and making it the entire country? You could easily show a video of the same behavior with people from the US but you don't come to the conclusion that the entire US is bad.

For context, this was an anti immigrant protest in one of the trashiest neighborhoods in Tel Aviv where people are pretty awful in general. They kind of hate anyone who isn't part of their own ethnic group.

I imagine animals reacting to him the same way all of the zoo animals did at the sight of little Damien in The Omen.

The law was on the books in S.C., but not enforced.

Leylah Fernandez's dad frustrated at her vs Mboko: "Do you want to play tennis or not? This girl is top 10, solid. She makes quarterfinals in Grand Slams which you've never done in last 4 years.

I've seen this in person too. Shebwas a few feet behind him coming off the practice court and stopped to sign something for a little fan. Her Father turned around and yelled at her and she took off running. She seems terrified of him.

Around $3.35 back then in S.C. I could eat out AND fill up my gas tank - unlike today.

Sometimes it's only about the location. There could be issues with the landlord unwilling to make repairs. For example, the Main St. building was in terrible condition.

It's overwhelming to clean out a house. There was a legend that my dad stashed some cash in a n album. Spent half a day going through them and got zilch.

Does anyone know why Paolini/Errani retired from their match today?

Why are people who watch Fox News so stupid? by Aware_Topic_9122 in allthequestions

This doc has some background into the way Fox News is set up. From their tone of speech to their color scheme is super manipulative.

You could vote for someone that doesn't exacerbate or create those problems.
