Unless your gay, trans gendered, an atheist, need birth control, health care, or are non white. But still a great state.

THISSSSS. And stay out their fucking way and give them the same benefit of the doubt like you do all those pastie face plebs you employed. They may challenge you and they may very well have conflicts with said pasties. Have their fucking back.

Meh. Every state would do the same thing. There have been multiple disasters and everyone picks up and rebuild. Has nothing to do with Texas. I cannot stand people who think their state is somehow better than everyone else’s it’s so asinine. Texans and New Yorkers might be the two worst about it.

Said on another string.

Oh, so that’s why Gilbert couldn’t afford to pay to keep the GM who helped them win a championship and get to 3 straight finals.

Can’t they make Mexico pay for it?

“We didn’t want a refurbished stadium anyway, so there.”

So, to cover up for their financing scam being sniffed out, they are going to blame democracy?

Also, stop having conversations. We been talking for 4 decades. We know you can talk. Now shut up and do.

We could start by not pulling the handle for the most blatantly racist candidate in my lifetime. Once you vote for Trump, it’s over. There is no excuse for that. You weren’t going to lose your job by not voting for Clinton. Your taxes were not going to change by voting for Trump. There was no reason to vote for Trump…

When a white person says this, what they mean is “how can I make 400 years of slavery and countless decades of racial oppression about me”?

Your interpretation is kinder than mine. I assume that when someone asks this question they have no interest in the answer. They’ve already gotten enough white ally cultural cool points from having “started the conversation” even if they don’t do anything beyond that, which they won’t.

I’ve been working 60 hour weeks and in the wake of Charlottesville I was a little... let’s say “surly”. A well-meaning coworker asked what was wrong.

Don’t worry about helping the “black” community. Help your friends.

I’ve started saying “Go collect your fellow white people and have a ‘Come to Jesus’ talk with them about not being overtly or covertly racist.”

I sometimes wonder if people don’t ask that question to get past on the bead for being special. It’s incredibly pretentious and only continues to maintain a dominant/subordinate relationship between white and POC. People know what to do. They just want praise for it.

On the one hand, there are white people who want to do right. On the other hand, that doesn’t need to be anyone else’s burden. Simple solution: “Do you have a computer? Then do some research.” Somehow, a surprising number of people are bad at Google — I don’t know how that’s even possible — but anyway, Googling…

Came here to say the same thing....

I have in fact given up on the world. Yes, humans are capable of amazing selflessness and kindness. These humans are trampled in a Who Concert-like massacre by those who don’t give a single fuck about anyone but themselves and will go to abhorrent lengths to prove that.

I had given up on the world long ago but this warms my icy heart.
