...that "white people" do not have a problem with the brilliant and extraordinary Luke Cage [for its lack of white characters or necessary and welcome "black" message] on Netflix.  "Stupid bigoted white people" may but I'm unwilling to cede the label to fucking morons.

...that having one debate moderator for the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates is a poor design and shifts the burden from the candidates to answer questions and discuss ideas to a lone moderator to control the melee.  We should go back to the days of the debate panels to force the candidates to actually answer the questions and debate the issues.
