@lithub A Jewish intellectual who critiqued Israel is being denied an award named after a Jewish intellectual who famously critiqued Israel. You can’t make this stuff up.

@prchovanec Not to be glib, but you love America the way a Black American loves America: you love her even though she doesn’t necessarily love you. You love what she can be rather than what she is (and to be sure, whatever you assumed America was, it was likely just projection).

@AngryBlackLady Not ridiculous. The Court is bigger than one person. Justices Stevens and Souter didn’t feel compelled to stay (Souter was in his 70’s at the time). RBG could have retired in 2013, the year Obama was sworn in for a 2nd term.

@samvanhallgren Who’s claiming this? I’d argue The Matrix was way more influential in the early 00’s. And far as BLACK culture is concerned Boyz in the Hood and Do the Right Thing were way more influential. Music. Fashion. Television. Easy.
