This is why 4-H is so much better. I know most people associate it with agriculture, but it has so much more. I’m from a city, and it was 4-H that gave me my first public speaking event (which I won), and also taught me how to give demonstrations, sew, cook, and lead others. These were all events where I saw boys…

Oh!Oh! I know this one!!! Yes, it has the God bit in the promise, but they are very clear that it refers to whatever each girl wants it to refer to...

That “respect authority” bit is ready for another look, too. This “tradition for tradition’s sake alone” Stockholm syndrome shit has to go- especially in this “unpresidented” era.

OH SHIT! Tilda came with fucking receiptsssssssssss

I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it.

the panicked employee who had called the cops was being “counseled and retrained.”

Also, so the cop helped them until they suddenly became a threat?

Except that according to the quote, she did know about and acknowledge her white privilege before. She is just saying that now it’s hitting home on a whole different level because it’s her child. This wasn’t a situation where she was blissfully, negligently ignorant before and she’s only deigning to care now because…

I worked as a teacher with a black woman who felt very strongly against multiracial adoption. No amount of loving home, great parents, etc would convince her that anyone could do it right. This snark just reminded me of her.

Yeah I’ve about had it with this shit. The snark seems like a luxury we can no longer afford.

until you actually have a child, which is like your heart being outside you, and that heart happens to be in a brown body

GOD FORBID someone make a little progress...and then be open and talk about it??!?! White bitch.
