I went to a city high school that was about 60% white 30% black/Somali (And me the one Asian guy). This program called Project Success would have workshops in English classes once a month at the city school’s and i’ll always remember the one time we did an excercise about how important going to college was to us. This…

Real talk though: alternate facts are not new. The country was founded by men who declared ‘all men are created equal’ while holding whips in their hands. Believing in an alternate reality is the great white American pastime. 

I don’t trust it- this is clearly a reverse psychology trick to lure Kappas into a trap

So what are the odds the “inappropriate gestures” the principal is talking about is gonna end up being the nazi salute AND the black power fist? You know there’s gonna be white tears- ‘why are they allowed to express resilience and solidarity but we can’t degrade them and reference mass murders?’

The extent to which the white-constructed ego goes to protect itself is both remarkable and profoundly pathetic. I grew up in a very white neighborhood, but it’s only now, returning to it occasionally after being in college, that I can really see the full lengths white people will go to preserve their belief that…

I know it’s Nas’ story but all I really want to see is the dramatized version of Jay’s mother demanding him apologize for Super Ugly

Top ten? TOP TEN? Something, something, Drake is terrible.

VSB legit has the best comment section ever. I really don’t know how it’s stayed so good- but there are genuinely insightful conversations there.

Wonder how she reacted the first time ‘Santa’ didn’t buy everything on her list.

*Looks up the date for when the EIC started taking the measure.* “2006.” *Looks at the Gerrymandered map in 2010. Confirms the EIC has published reports between 2010 and 2016.* I’ve been reading this brilliant book on African-American philosophy by Charles Mills- he argues that the foundational ‘split’ between the…

And here is a textbook lesson on why personal niceness is not the solution to racism. A man can be so ‘nice’ that he gives a $450 tip yet votes for a president who is both undeniably racist and a ran on a platform that was undeniably racist. $450 and a smile won’t desegregate the cities and schools, or reform the…

I remember reading the New Jim Crow, where Alexander makes the argument unity between blacks and poor whites has been maliciously undermined by scheming white elites and thinking “No, it’s been undermined by poor whites only caring about themselves.” I see a pretty clear parallel- everyone suddenly cares about unity…

I already posted this in a reply but to add some context, Captain Zack had an interview with Yahoo Esports right after the match where he stated he understood why Komo didn’t shake his hand and was fine with it, also noting that Komo shook his hand after the initial set

Just to add some context, Captain Zack said in an interview immediately after on Yahoo Esports that he completely understood why Komo refused to shake his hand and noted that Komo did shake his hand after the original set

Counterpoint: Should any entertainer be meeting with Trump? Harvey literally couldn’t read a name at a pagaent- I’ve have a feeling he’s not gonna be the best advocate. Like if it was an activist like Deray, or an academic like MED, yes, meet with him to try and do something. What is a celebrity gonna do other than…

I’m sorry to have to assert how wrong you are-

Interestingly, my dad is a professor who has written a little bit about this. He has a pretty great quip- he notes that no one ever talks about ‘white cooking’ then footnotes that this, however, would be the most appropriate way to describe a Betty Crocker cookbook.
