Yes. Let us praise Our white saviors for allowing us the privilege of being treated fairly. Righting the boat is not the same thing as steering the ship. Also, fuck you. The biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action are white women. And, at least in NY, the biggest beneficiaries of the Fair housing act are Hasidic…

“White Democrats got you affirmative action, they got you the Fair Housing Act, they got you the Voting Rights act, they got you healthcare, minimum wage! How the ever loving fuck have the Democrats been fucking over black people when all they ever do is try and advance black people’s position in America?”

And white Democrats CONTINUE to completely misunderstand the point. What Michael is saying in the post, and what I and many other blacks are saying, is not that blacks (or any other PoC) SHOULD stay home and lose interest in the Democrat Party. We’re explaining WHY it happens.

Worst comment in Kinja history.

It’s our fault y’all. I mean the majority of white voters voted for Trump while about 90% of black voters voted Dem. But it’s our fault.

The Democratic strategy was never to earn the black vote, it was to remind the black voters that there was a debt they expected to be paid.

White Allies. Always proving why they are the worst wypipo.

I’ve heard and read so many white Democrats try to shame blacks who didn’t show up to vote in the election. When I explain that black turnout was down because the Democrats ignored the black constituency, the general answer was “Well at least they’re not Republicans. Dems had to go for the working class whites!”

While it might not be racist, it is certainly racist adjacent.

God damnit. Just. God damnit.

There is no .gif to express my exasperation at this. A facepalm feels too little, a headdesk not quite there yet. Even a resounding thud of head against the wall does not make do. This is just... who in their right minds would look at this ad and go “Yep, this is an ad that will make people want to vote for our guy!”…

It’s an economic protection (not protecting you or me) masked as a valid safety measure.

Australian Rules. Absolutely bonkers game.

Rugby is pretty violent but the ferociousness is curbed somewhat by lack of equipment. Pretty similar to American football and almost no stoppages (replays, referee meetings etc) of play. I’ve learned to like it quite a bit actually

I started this season hating the arbitrariness of the college targeting rule. By the end of the college season, having watched enough NFL games, I’m fully on board with the college targeting rule.

There was a moment when the commentary flat out stated that they did not know what it now took to get ejected from the game which hit on such a truth to me.

Your entire comment was great and suddenly reminded me of all those times that my kid responds to a simple directive like “Please don’t chew with your mouth open” with “OH MY GOD MOM I GUESS I’M NEVER ALLOWED TO EAT AGAIN, HUH?”

1.) Michael got me laughing in front of customers like a crazy person.

It is, in fact, OK to be white.
