“Big day in Alabama. Vote for Luther Strange, he will be great!”
Yes, this makes absolute cognitive sense. “Abortion is murder” but, if you can pay a higher premium, no problem.
The only person to have lost his job appears to be the only one of them who HAD a job. At a hot dog stand. Not to be harshing on hot dog stands, but Jesus tapdancing Christ.
My god this is perfect.
I’m sorry I have only one star to give.
Triumph of the At-Will
Isn’t at-will employment great, alt-right guys?
This is an extremely reasonable position that you outline here.
“She’s saying white people should stop automatically saying, “But, I’m one of the good guys.””
The nazi apologists are out in full force today. I have seen countless comments today saying “both sides suck” “antifa is just as bad”.
I’m white too. And it’s not patronizing to point out that you, and I, don’t get side-eyed everywhere we go. We don’t run into the obstacle of our skin color instantly establishing assumptions about us. We don’t experience that. There’s nothing patronizing about that at all.
No disagreement there. As I said, my point was liberal hypocrisy vs white supremacists being an actual political power. Every hard earned political victory being erased in one shot. The expansion of black prison slave labor expanded to a point that’s even more unfathomable than now. As I’ve said, nothing about it is…
I agree with what you said. And I realize that even white liberals who consider themselves very much anti-racist can still be pretty racist. It’s like we think we look good by comparison.

Damn, I really hope taking you out of the greys for this response isn’t a mistake. What you say though gets right to my point. The whole “stand against Nazis” idea is my point. Every white person who went home from those protests would still enjoy the privilege of being white in this country. They aren’t getting…
Seriously? You think I said, “wah the Root hates all white people, if my feelings aren’t assuaged at all times by people of color (while they’re the ones being beaten) then I’ll stop helping”. While on other articles I’m arguing against that meme? That’s not what I said, so maybe you can read what I said again. I more…
I think you misunderstand what Danielle is saying. She’s NOT saying white people should stop being outraged and should stop protesting. She’s saying white people should stop automatically saying, “But, I’m one of the good guys.” Because that statement changes the focus to you.
Heather Heyer, the white woman who was killed, certainly had her privilege checked didn’t she? In fact the vast majority of the counter protesters were white which, due to simple demographics, is the way it’s going to have to be to push back against the resurgent white supremacy movement. Some white person reacting to…
