Right, exactly.  It was pretty shocking to see him reduce Native Americans to “Thanksgiving, you know?”  But this author seems to have a very reductive view of race. 

I was really interested in reading this article but got to you saying Thanksgiving Indian and now I am just so full of fuck you that I cannot finish. It is hard to read when I am rage filled. 

This essay along with the black card one are exceedingly dumb

TIL #1: abuse victims are supposed to have an eidetic memory and bullet journal their trauma, lest their credibility be torn apart.

Again, this all happened a long time ago, and as multiple Ph. FUCKING Ds noted, demanding perfect recall on exact timing of everything from trauma victims isn’t reasonable.

“And both means we’ve decided not to foreclose on any perspectives while he is in heavy learning mode.” What does this mean?

Black people wear flip flops in the U.S. when it’s hot, though. This is the first I’m hearing that any American negro thinks of flip flops as “white people” stuff.

Maybe if he didn’t have such a basic reductive caricature of blackness as an aspirational model then he wouldn’t feel so burdened and conflicted by it. Fried bologna and spades??? Heckin Woof, bruh. It’s a black thing if a black person is doing it. What is this 3rd grade Oreo coconut “am I still black if I like…

It’s so much bullshit. I grew up in a majority Black neighborhood, and my best friend’s family went apple picking. I’ve never even heard that we aren’t supposed to wear flip flops. My on-the-edge-of-Hotep boyfriend loves Natalie Merchant and is a fiend for punk music. I am a crazy dog lover who refers to her dog as…

Mr. Richardson writes: “Can I relax and enjoy heretofore ‘white people shit’ like... wearing flip-flops as just a thing without quietly laughing at myself or subtly dying inside?” Flip-flops are a white person’s thing? Tell that to the millions of poor people, of all hues, around the world, who wear flip-flops.

There was another think piece on The Root by a black writer who “wasn’t born black” (paraphrase) because she ate kale and liked to go hiking or skiing or something. It felt like weird humble-bragging and I wasn’t here for it..

Exactly. I am very much tired of this. Has a black person done it? Then it’s something that black people do, fin. I understand there are nuances but I find some really ridiculous biases start oozing out when you push back with Socratic reasoning. That’s when the “I am a speshul black person” and the faux incredulous…

For years, I’ve been told that conservatives are too busy working to do stuff like this. You know, while liberals are too busy, simultaneously, being coastal elites AND welfare recipients, conservatives are working in the mines and mills across real America. 

Kim Kardashian is thinking of naming her next kid Rob West, after her brother.

Or Robert Kraft, or any of the literally thousands of other cases with sweetheart deals? And that’s before we even get to blantant crimes that actually involve a little thing called MURDER.

Hmm. Where was all this “federal energy” decrying the miscarriage of justice over the sweetheart deal that Florida pedophile Jeffrey Epstein got???

That guy’s an asshole.

She just appropriated them

I do not and will never understand why anyone would want to buy this trash person’s trash cosmetics.

It takes a lot of nerve to be a dictator’s granddaughter, and have a public social media account that shows you doing anything other than community service, charity work, and shutting the fuck up.
