Start yanking some college acceptances and scholarships. They get real remorseful then.

And I hope that any colleges that might get applications from these students also get the pictures of their brand of school spirit.  Punching holes in their college dreams is something they and their parents don’t stop to consider. Let’s make sure they do.

I find it hard to do the comment sections on outlets like LA Times because when I do, they remind me just how many hard hearted hateful white and white adjacent people walk among us. They have no incentive to change as they believe the world works just fine for them.

I imagine there are a number of Latinos looking to follow the same plath that the Irish and East Asian populations used generations ago to socially elevate themselves (aka: How the Irish Became White).

I believe the Latino vote actually shifted further right during Trump’s term. A small percentage is religious-conservative enough to ignore everything else the GQP does. I thought I read a report about that, but I also hear about it from my Latino coworkers who can’t understand how their relative can vote R. I imagine…

we don’t have these types of problems with the Latino community

Another example of training the next generation of politicians, CEO’s, managers and business owners to do what they’ve been doing for centuries. It has always been alive and well.

“Counseling is available…” Yeah, no. Fuck your counseling. This is racist intimidation, and keeping these asshole kids in “leadership positions” after what they did is abhorrent and ridiculous. What parent in their right mind would send their Black child to be counseled by the same administration that let this…

The “rush” is at least a decade old. There has been work on a vaccine for coronavirus for at least that long, which is why the latest vaccines seem to have been so rapidly produced. Sure - there was a rush for this variant, but that’s built on a significant research in creating this type of vaccine.

Black Republicans socializing with Ted Fucking Nugent probably should be arrested just on principle.

The last few months, seeing Rev. Jackson so actively involved with Poor People’s Campaign, Moral Mondays the Push Coalition and voting rights groups; marching, speaking, getting arrested, I was very concerned that, with his health challenges, he would end up in worse shape.

Hopefully they got both shots too.  I also hope they only got hospitalized out of caution and not because of anything serious.

Was his real name Cartman and was he from South Park?

This American Life did a show on him, and they even did a piece on Washington’s opponent, Bernie Epton. Epton was a lot like John McCain, not a racist guy, but popular with racists. The irony, is Epton was a Jewish guy who took part in the Civil Rights movement, which would’ve made him a target in any other…

I was in high school when he died. It was a horrible, surreal day...happened around Thanksgiving. For us on the west and south sides, it was like losing a Malcolm X or a King.

He was a great man and a pioneer and this will be quite interesting because I dont know much of the story. The mere mention of his name tho makes me laugh cause I always remember Eddie Murphy saying brothers is telling Jesse Jackson right now...”You badder than Harold Washingtom”...though ish is effed up, we have come…

1983 was a pivotal year for me in so many ways, but it started with Washington’s election. I was 13, and until then I hadn’t experienced a lot of direct racism, but folks at my mostly-white school in Morgan Park/Beverly went all in. I will never forget hearing the teacher who insisted that the Civil War was about…

Was working at a newspaper In the city at the time and It was CRAZY. One part of town though he was a rock star and the other pumped out death threat after death threat. There were rumors of riots on election night If he won (sound familiar), etc. It was a crazy time and one of the greatest.

Her face is like “so we’re just checking the lighting right? I’m not really gonna wear a pair of dirty converses over a JCPenny’s portrait studio backdrop for the cover of Vogue now am I?”
