White Saviors Are Never Around When I Need a Jar Opened
The problem with white saviors isn’t necessarily that they’re paternalistic, or dumb, it’s mostly that they aren’t dependable. Where is my white savior when I want a jar opened? Ultimately, if you give a white person too much power as an ally they will betray you.

1. I think I think a couple of things about the AFC title game… a. I’m picking the Patriots to win this game, yet they’re still going to play it (I guess CBS does have four hours of programming to fill). I do think this is much closer to a coin flip matchup than most folks are anticipating. I’m sure much of that has to do with the Brady-Manning mismatch (that’s Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, the quarterbacks for the Patriots and Broncos, respectively, in case you were unclear). Brady is..>> view originalNew York Jets Flight Connections 1/24/16

The Mets shocked the baseball world late Friday night when they were able to get Yoenis Cespedes to agree to a three-year deal for $75 million with a one-year opt-out clause. It is the kind of move that can neutralize 2 feet of snow, if only in the imagination.
