A Native American friend of mine once told me that this is why white people always die in movies. I was telling her about hearing what sounded like foot falls on the roof of my house. I went out to check and didn’t see anything. Then she told me about a local legend about “roof walkers.” She was teasing me but she was…

My mom told me a story that I have always found illustrative. She was with my older brother waiting for an airplane in Minneapolis in the early 70s. Also in the waiting area was an African American woman wearing what my mother would describe as traditional garb - I am thinking a dashiki or something like it. My mother…

When I first heard I had a moment of mirth. Now I'm more scared than anything because I don't trust anything good to happen anymore. 

I cried happy tears while I voted in 2008. I have been too stunned and traumatized to even cry since 2016.

I noticed. But I didn't remark about it to anyone. Everyone already knows that he is a racist. Anyone who doesn't see that is also a racist. 

He thinks that way because his ego is actually more fragile than we can imagine.

The trolls are triggered lately around here. How pathetic and impotent they must be that the only sense of personal power they can feel is hanging around here in the Greys typing the n word in all caps.

I gave in to the lesser angels of my nature and watched the video of Brad Pascale being arrested. Guess what words he kept shouting, over and over?

Yep.  And those are supposed to be the "culturally neutral" tests. Anything requiring vocabulary is going to be biased. But clearly they all are. What a coincidence that white people invented a way to measure intelligence that just happens to show that white people are the most intelligent! If you buy that one, you…

I hope you are okay. One day at a time. People of good conscience need to stay and fight. 

Once that's done how will they motivate their voters? 

Just to be a bit pedantic, anyone who is stupid enough to still believe in IQ as an accurate measure of intelligence is someone whose arguments I brush off pretty easily. IQ was a theory developed just in the nick of time to back up eugenics. I put on little lessons in multiple theories of intelligence  (and theories…

What is this world coming to when a nice white person like me cant say even mildly offensive things about Black people even without being made to feel bad about it?? I just want to be able to say mildly offensive things about black people! Just mildly!! 🤣😂 haha

Got me 

I love the reason that if you can't disprove something, it must be true. Disprove unicorns, I dare you! 

Now wrap it in some sage... Oh yeah. 

I had what sounds like a similar experience. I don’t think that I had a weak mind or was necessary susceptible in some way. I encountered the group at a time when I was particularly vulnerable. Like you say, having an education does not protect you from this kind of thing. I consider myself lucky that my situation…

One sure sign of a cult is they have a list of reasons why they are not a cult, and every member can recite it.

Trump would see it as anti-American
