Yeah your skin is too thin. I’m worried how it manages to hold in your organs. Get a grip.

You don’t think nail salon workers deserve to have their labor rights protected by the state?

You haven’t replied to the comment above. How does wishing your friend well count as word vomit?

The whole conversation about race involves people being free to be vulnerable and wrong. Otherwise we’ll just keep having people refuse to speak about race. The conversation that we all want to badly about race isn’t going to be a perfectly scripted progressive monologue.

Sentiments like yours actually undermines the…

I’ve actually only had one female taxi driver ever. It was in SF and in the four years I lived there I had her three times. She gave me very good advice on what TV I should be watching.

You want to kill and eat children?

Sexuality is not a protected class Federally in the US.

Yeah that shouldn’t be the basis for denying people entry into a country. If he was still calling for violence I could see a legal basis. But punishing a thought crime after the person has already changed their views is perverse.

If I was a theater owner I would notice that racist white dudes have been shooting up theaters a lot, and then realize I will have theaters full of black people and then plan accordingly. Why not judge people generously?
