Probably, because every time she was speaking without Walsh talking over her, she was clear as day.
Not sure how you couldn't hear her half the time and why she was "bad".

I grew up in the 70s and I've heard it used a lot. Then again I have kids so maybe I'm just too hip for all you childless squares.
Either that or attack his fucking pastor. That right there told you Barrack was running one of the best campaigns ever.
Bad == "Fine" "Pretty" "Gorgeous" etc
Thought rambis meant attractive

Contextually, when you said she was bad and followed with "I couldn't hear her half the time" the use of bad pointed to her being bad at oration, not at how attractive she is.
That and the Bill Ayers mess
Glad someone got it lol.
JFC It means I was staring and having thoughts that were washing out what she was saying. Basically the opposite of what Bill O Reilly was saying about Maxine. Let it go pops.

I can't stand Joe Walsh, but......what? It's completely reasonable to put him on the air. Just because we don't agree with him doesn't mean he doesn't A: have the right to voice his opinion publicly, and B: doesn't have the right to be invited on a cable news show. We're not talking about David Duke here.
It's not CNN "appearing" fair, they ARE being fair.
FWIW, I understood what you were getting at just fine
and my god, Angela Rye is my politics waifu

He's racist trash and shouldn't be given a platform on a national cable news network.
CNN gonna CNN.
Overt racism isn't the only form. Joe was trying to be low key with his, but it still shined just fine. Despite his credentials Joe Walsh feels Obama isn't qualified and gee golly I wonder why.
The "opinions" being shared are not equal though.
One person is starting from a position as a normal talking head.
The other is starting from a position that is in defense against an ideology that basically defines her as subhuman.
Not equal opinions my man. Shouldn't be treated as equal.
And to add, in his tweet it literally states that its "because he's black".
He brought race into this.
How do you read that and pretend this guy isn't a racist piece of shit?

His twitter feed is full of racist statements, this isn't a one off.
Which was weird because I've seen Brooke go in on Trump supporters before.
Yes, he started to apologize for being invited even though he's a bigot.
Like, he starts to call himself a bigot and doesn't really argue against the claim.

my take is that it means "schooling" someone... or something like that?
is it even an actual english verb?

He was being sarcastic and mocking Rye's calling him a bigot. "Oh, I'm sooooo sorry that you have to have a hoooorible bigot like me on your show."
Having people on TV to hash out their twitter beef is pretty fucking dumb in the first place but CNN gonna CNN.

"We lowered the bar because he was black."
"Why does it always have to be about race"
Lol wtf is this guy talking about.

Dogging black folk is such a national past-time, it's not even considered a racial issue.
Black person sticking up for themselves... well shit, you brought race into it.

Yeah, my first thought as well.
Ya'll really need to get over this. Yes...people use words in different ways in everyday life. It's not a new phenomenon.
That was driving me absolutely crazy.
The faux concern facial squinting.
The "oh my gosh i never expected this to happen!!!"
The incredulous looks at both speakers.
The ending "well that was nuts right everybody??? I had no idea this would happen!"
A demonstration of why people of color cannot trust anyone other than themselves to call out injustice. It all boils down to being fair to both sides. Someone please post that comic of indy being told to reason with a nazi.
I'm over news outlets that invite hateful and ignorant people to segments and try to make it seem as though their message is valid and deserving of equitable consideration with rational discourse. They're supposed to be the fourth pillar and speak truth to such people in power (or of great influence), not provide them with a platform.
Anyway, at least Rye didn't entertain the theater. Whoever that host was (her name escapes me) and her producers can eat a dick. "Please be respectful". Yea, why not bring on some skin heads while we're at it and see what their input on the matter is.

"...when Black people need to be twice as good all the time."
Now, Im not a racist. But I would be considered ignorant. I say, "God, why can't we move AWAY from the race card? and move ourselves past this."
But that quote really did something to me. Its making me think past what I know.
I could walk into a 7-11 with a hoodie and not be looked at twice. If a black man did it, he'd be followed or stared at. A black man would have to put down his hoodie, walk straighter, deepen (or straighten) his voice, smile more, be more polite. Now, any person of any race looking "suspicious" would be followed and stared at, but black men have it worse. What would make me look 40% suspicious would make a black man 90% suspicious because of the color of his skin.
I used to think BLM is annoying and unnecessary at our current racial climate. An excuse for the black community as a whole to play the race card. That their methods are too disruptive.
I know now that, as much as we have changed as a society from outright racism, its moved towards "silent" racism. Institutionalized racism. Racism in policies, thought processes and structures that make it more difficult for black people.
BLM NEEDS to be disruptive to get the attention of people like me who, to put racial sensitivity back to the forefront of my mind and to think about these things. It IS necessary because black people are not trophies (on one end) and should not be treated as different (on the other end). They're simply people who needs to be treated FAIRLY.

From the white rung to the black rung? 🙄

What.
Citation needed.
MAYBE 10 years, tops. Before that it was owned, get got, handled, dealt with, etc.
This son'd stuff is new to me.
The part of rambis' post you quoted actually means:
"Angela Rye is so attractive that I was stunned enough to not actually be paying attention to the conversation that was being had"

Typical intellectualized racism. No one wants to come out and just flat out state "I don't like niggers" so they have to cloak their sentiment in plausible deniability while setting off just enough dog whistles to let folks know where they stand.
When did she say this?
