All I know about squats is they're a real pain in the ass!I could use some squats in my life though. It's getting a little jiggly.

If you ask me, if we want to win the war on terror, we need to take a good look at haunted houses
Congratulations man of the year Colin Kaepernick. Only you could top JJ Watt who raised 37 million dollars for people that lost their personal belongings and homes.
While I certainly see the point, and what Watt did is great, Kaep sacrificed his career and his reputation for his cause. Kaep also donated $1MM of his own money, and Watt, from what I can find, donated $100K. So, perhaps that weighed on the GQ staff? Kaep gave more and sacrificed more personally. That doesn't take away from Watt's fundraiser, but maybe gives a better view into the GQ thinking. Maybe Watt wins "Fundraiser of the Year" and Kaep wins "Man of the Year".
Not really something worth getting upset about. It's just a magazine's opinion.
So, I finally got around to watching Get Out the other night. Have been intrigued because I legitimately didn't know what kind of movie it was or how it would get weird. After watching, I thought it was fantastic. Great examples of how white folks interact with black folks. A ton of parts seemed relevant and realistic; I'd actually say most of the social interaction was awkwardly realistic/something I've seen or heard before. Then, this morning came along....
I really like Peele, but didn't detect whether this was supposed to be a real jab or not. What I can confidently say is, the movie Get Out is not a documentary. If Peele wanted it to be taken as serious as a documentary, he shouldn't have injected satire into it (I'm glad he did as I think he nailed the concept). What I don't like is the divisiveness that the statement has caused; it actually accuses white people of doing everything in the movie. Why?
Is there anyone in here that can explain to me how they believe the movie is a documentary, as Peele said? I don't see it.
I think you're looking into this too much. The film is obviously not a documentary, which means that tweet was likely a joke.
Great examples of how white folks interact with black folks.
Ape diversity chief out after claiming diversity isn't limited to race

"
There can be 12 white, blue-eyed, blond men in a room and they’re going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation,” the inaugural diversity chief said.
“Diversity is the human experience,” she said, according to Quartz. “I get a little bit frustrated when diversity or the term diversity is tagged to the people of color, or the women, or the LGBT."
So she's gone. Irony is she's black.
White people aren't diverse. Diverse means not white. People don't hate white people though. No one wants white people out of positions and power simply because of the color of their skin. It isn't a racial power game that they're playing. What could go wrong?Diversity for me, not for thee!
Really though, she was very right, and the exit is very wrong. Bad look.

Anyways this was obviously the wrong kind of black. She wanted to treat white people fairly so she's obviously alt right which is obviously Nazis.
We don't like Hitler in America, sorry. We won't jail her because of that stupid first ammendment. We'll just ruin her livelihood.
