My family is multiracial. We’re all adopted. My folks asked why I decided to protest and march, when nothing was the matter and people were destroying America because of cop hate.

Holy fuck. He went from “I have a black friend” to “I have a brown son” as an excuse for his bigotry in no time flat.

THIS.

I don’t know who taught you that was polite, but that was textbook deliberate condescension.

My daughter falls in that same spectrum, and I wouldn’t classify ASD as a mental illness, it’s a different way of interacting with the world and thinking, and “normal” whatever that is, for her.

I cannot speak for Jezebel here, but the article has a point.

The only thing I’d suggest is that this line doesn’t strike me as correct: “Their first instinct was to react with fear...”.  I think rather, their first reaction was to act like they were in charge and that the person they were talking to was not their equal.

Hun, she didn’t wrongly think she knew the owners. She was consciously lying as a flex to put a person of color in his place, never dreaming for a minute that she was speaking to the owner himself. 

Screw doing some deep dive into her life, nobody cares about her life or even her specifically. Like the article says, she’s just one example of awful actions out of many.

“Highlighting her entitlement is a stab at relatability, an unintentional move to garner some sort of sympathy...”

Nah.  It can be both, you know.  Someone can be a racist and shitty in other aspects of their life.  Pointing out that Cooper was just your garden-variety bitch that used racism when it suited her is appropriate if it’s accurate.  

She had an accident on a path while walking.

Well, of course, white women are embracing Farrakhan while women of color activists that don’t soundly condemn everything he’s ever been even vaguely associated with get run off the public stage:

Chelsea Handler seems like...not a very good person to me. 

If we don’t have a white celebrity join the 5% Nation by the end of the year, 2020 will be a failure. My money’s on Bryce Dallas Howard, for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

“Hitler was responsible for killing millions of lives. Farrakhan is just responsible for his own promotion of anti-Semitic beliefs. They are very different.”

Having talked to people like her she’s worried about the CHIIIIIIILDREN! Wont someone think of the children!? What if they transition and regreeeeeeet it!? (despite the astronomically small number who do vs the many people who kill themselves because they can’t transition).

I submitted my name.  There was no fine print at all.  It was pretty shady.

Probably an unpopular question, but one I have nonetheless:
