Before that she was a Harvard-educated lawyer who worked as a public defender, handling domestic violence cases, in North Carolina. She was also a victim of domestic violence (DV). Her abusive husband killed her a few weeks ago in a murder-suicide after she had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Racism is satire when &#8220;progressives&#8221; do it!
I am not a regular reader of The New Yorker, but I have never been a huge fan of their cartoons. Some of them have made me chuckle, some of them have made me roll my eyes, and many more have just provoked a, &#8220;Okay&#8230;&#8221; kind of blah reaction. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever criticized an ad campaign, commercial, or anything that&#8217;s even remotely related to marketing for pushing a bigoted viewpoint, you will undoubtedly have come up against the argument that of course the reason the product is being marketed that way is because it&#8217;s more profitable. A company would never do anything to [...]]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://blog.shrub.com/?p=723</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[The privilege list has gotten some of its much-needed update.
Changes:

Replaced most instances of &#8220;minority&#8221; and &#8220;minorities&#8221; with &#8220;non-privileged&#8221;
Added a new section: Learn What is Meant by “Privilege”
Fixed miscellaneous minor typos and outdated information

It&#8217;s not perfect, but it&#8217;s better than it was.

If I said I wasn&#8217;t happy to get the praise, I&#8217;d be lying. But [...]]]></description>

And, unfortunately, what she sees isn&#8217;t people like her.
No, what Hirshman thinks [...]]]></description>

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi tells Kotaku that calls of racial insensitivity haven&#8217;t affected the game&#8217;s design. Takeuchi tells the site that the team didn&#8217;t &#8220;set out&#8221; to make a racist or political statement and he feels there was [...]]]></description>
