For a second I was still on the Ninja Turtle thing and thought you were talking about Master Splinter.

Anyone seen Joy Reid’s interview on the Daily Show? She nailed it when she said that the Democrats need to quit lamenting the loss of the “White working class” that they used to represent 40+ years ago and get the fuck over it, those people are Republicans now. It’s time to move on to defining their values and being…
It can work if you view forgiveness as accepting and no longer being angry about things that have happened so YOU can move on, rather than turning a blind eye or condoning what was done.
You don’t up and resign without explanation unless you think you’re going to get nailed for something.
Maybe that’s your experience, but I live in bumblefuck and white people express overt racism to each other all the time. Especially if you’re in some sort of position in which you can’t chastise them for it—my boss just gave me a white-victimhood segregation apologist word salad, and I am not in a position to say much…
I just got an earful from my Trumpist boss telling me how he remembers back when “coloreds” couldn’t drink out of the same water fountains as white people, and how separate-but-equal it was, because once his brother tried to get on the bus in which the white people section was full and they wouldn’t allow him a seat…
Are you asking me to be more understanding of racists? Because it sounds like you’re asking me to be more understanding of racists.
Maybe direct them to the EJI Lynching In America website.... (http://www.lynchinginamerica.eji.org) Content warning y’all, for those who’ve never seen it...it’s some gruesome shit.
I will tell you that many Gen X and Millennial white people have been conditioned by their parents to believe that “racism is over”,…
If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t respond.
Are you serious? This is maybe the whitest thing I’ve heard all day. POC and Jews cannot afford to ignore them because they may die or lose their human rights if the Nazis and white supremacists get what they’re after.
Re-read your entire post. That is where you said that “protesting and facing potential danger” is NOT taking the high road, that doing so “is feeding into exactly what they want”, that “when you’re dealing with a narcissist, it’s much more effective to just ignore them”—then you asked us to imagine if we ignored Trump…
Ignoring them is not “compromise”. If left ignored and unchecked, they WILL maim and murder people going about their daily existence, minding their own business. By doing things like throwing Molotov cocktails and bombing synagogues. They’re Nazis. They don’t think POC and Jews are fully human. They believe in…
Look, man—the fact that the NFL signs rapists, violent crime offenders, domestic abusers, et al. is part of the point. Maybe YOU don’t think his protest was a more egregious offense than the aforementioned, but the NFL-watching public doesn’t find these things to be “deal-breakers” the way they find “making white guys…
This is not some sort of “temper tantrum”—these Nazis think this is war. I can only imagine that you’re telling us to ignore them because you have the privilege of being able to afford to do so. It’s not you they’re trying to murder.
I’ve been ripping on all of my white friends who think the solution to Nazis is to stop paying attention to them, give them hugs, and having their protests elsewhere.
In the BDSM universe, cuckolding is a varsity-level fetish in which a man gets off on watching or fantasizing about watching his (almost always) female significant-other being fucked by another man. Typically, his only participation is voyeuristic in nature (though “enthusiastic consent” of all parties is considered…
Honestly, the burden of proof is on the one making the claim. To say “you can’t prove my claim isn’t true, so it must be true” is a logical fallacy. I’m not saying that doesn’t go both ways; it’s just a crappy argument that doesn’t hold up.
I think you’re right; I think they want to go back to the Jim Crow-era. They need someone to whom they can be superior. They need a “class” to subjugate. They thrive on social stratification and want a caste system. Eradication of POC misses the point. There are some “fringe” types—neo-Nazis who believe in…
My boss(es) are these white supremacist assholes, who think they’re not white supremacists. These guys sign my paychecks, and I’m living in an area where I’m surrounded by white people like them ALL THE TIME. They’re everywhere. They feel comfortable talking their white supremacist bullshit around me because they see…
Full disclosure—I’m white, but I imagine this sort of thing happens a lot:
