I’m a film projectionist and it’s not as easy as turning the closed captions on. Films come on drives now, and they are unlocked with digital “keys.” The keys unlock all the different versions on the film (2D, 3D, 5.1, 7.1 etc) These keys come from the distributors, and unless they are provided and then installed,…

Between the 1800's and 1900's, the only Asians allowed in western/”white” countries were the men, as long as they were hard laborers, and women, as long as they were prostitutes. Asian men weren’t allowed to bring their wives, because whites didn’t want Asian families around. So they had no choice but to die alone…

Dude, am the only “minority” in my Master’s program. We have a mix of teachers, social workers, and npo therapists and be quite honest some of them are...uhm...fuckwits? These people decide whether you get to keep your child, teach your kids, or work with seriously at risk populations. Half voted for the racist…

These kinds of people who become teachers use their positions of authority to justify their racism (confirmation bias), and ad opportunities for micro aggression towards their students.

Don’t let someone’s line of work fool you into thinking they care about the people and clients they serve. I worked for a nonprofit that provide free services to indigent individuals and you will not believe how many super Conservatives who hated poor people worked there. One of my coworkers used to drone on about how…

I don’t see what the big deal about the so-called “whitewashing” in Ghost In The Shell. I think it was handled wonderfully.

An Emma is just a classier Becky.

Rich people, well known for saying, “Thanks, I have enough money already.”

Let’s not do conservatives’ job by playing into the idea of good & bad immigrants. I understand the temptation to, but it shouldn’t cause any less outrage if they were working blue-collar jobs.

I love how “working-class” is a term to mean white and employed in manufacturing, repair services, energy production, agricultural production, or police and emergency services. God bless those people. They’re the salt of the earth.

I’m of a different mind where I think that his charm is precisely what I find abhorrent about him. And oddly enough my example is Bon Jovi. Jon Bon Jovi has been a charming teenage heartthrob for longer than I’ve been alive and also married his high school sweetheart. And they are still married and as far as I know…

I remember hearing about firing squad executions, I think in Utah, where 5 people had a gun and shot, but only one had actual bullets. The rest had blanks. That way no one knew if they were the one who actual killed the person. It’s volunteer based (and based on this interview, they had no shortage of people willing…

I admire the integrity of this. Anyone who is pro-death-penalty but queasy at the thought of watching this has likely not thought through their position fully. If it’s the right thing to do, why should someone else flip the switch and bear witness? And if you can’t bear to do it, maybe nobody else should, either?

I like your answer and agree with your logic. I just couldn’t do it. It would haunt me and shatter my mental health, rather than galvanising me to fight.

I feel you on a lot of this. If my presence beard no weight regarding if the execution would happen, I would witness it. I want to know the reality of it.

This is how I feel too

I think you make excellent points and are not psychotic

They should have asked him for his SAG card in return.

It’s not about Ann Coulter, it’s an open letter from a man who has Downs syndrome written to her after she called Obama a retard. Interesting you’ll watch a roast of her, but not a letter addressed to her from a man who has Downs syndrome and was personally offended by her using the word exactly how you used it.

I feel like I have met a lot of white people who say authentic but they mean stereotypical. Like if you try to perform what feel authentic to you, they feel you are putting on an act and you have to conform to their manufactured ideas about authenticity or you are not living up to their standards.
