I clicked, and am completely sickened.

Under Obama, I’d be legit worried that I’d now be on a domestic terrorist watch list for clicking on that link. But under El Naranja’s admistristation and with a justice department run by a racist, confederate hobbit? I’m probably now on a MAGA donation mailing list.

I mean, It’s not like we fought THE DEADLIEST WAR IN HUMAN HISTORY to squash these motherfuckers.

I don’t what led me to do so, but yeah, that was a prime example of the rightwing hatemongers. Their misogyny binds them all together.

I’m surprised they even linked to it instead of [yeah, Google that shit yourself].

Holy fucking hell Mabel. Remember last December when we all said how glad we were that 2016 was over?

If you are truly interested in evolving on this I’d think about why your response to people of colour telling the truth about their experience of white people and whiteness gets your hackles up. I’d also think about why you feel empowered to declare their reactions unjust or over the top—would you think a man gets to

I am okay being distrusted by POCs due to my whiteness. I am also okay recognizing the myriad ways I benefit from whiteness and white supremacy. And that I will fuck up and show myself to not be trustworthy at some point, because that’s how whiteness works.

Please go away. I’m actually completely ok with you staying away from the Root. We could do without white nonsense. If you honestly can’t understand why whining about how much the commentariat at a black culture and news site is mean to you as a white person, when a group of white supremacists have literally assaulted

Yes. At times like these, it’s important to see what black people go through and then tell a mostly white audience that black people’s tone is too harsh.

Okay so you’re saying that everyone on the Root is generalizing whites but you’re not generalizing folks on the Root by saying everyone is using a broad brush?

As opposed to Jezebel where the language is always clean and respectable, you never call people names, (like bottom-feeder you do know that that’s calling someone a name don’t you?) and never ever do things that make WoC feel unwelcome because your intersectionality is always on point?

You are still sounding all #NotAllWhitePeople there. Ironic since I know you don’t much take kindly to men #NotAllMen-ing you in these comments.

You guys are literally the worst and I wrote something about the awful white feminism you subscribe to. Everything going on today and this is what you choose to whine about? Sickening.

I would LOVE to see some sort of organized mass media “Shame that Racist” effort. All the left-leaning media should get together and have a month-long series where each day they pick one white nationalist whose face is clear in these photos, and collectively put that photo on blast. Maybe offer a prize to the first

Found him!

Also, where the hell is Attorney General Jeff Sessions?

Just as a general reminder to all: some people don’t drink.

I remember watching the neighborhood girls double dutch from my apartment building’s stoop in Chicago. I was so jealous of them because they were so graceful and I was an uncoordinated mess. Still I was defacto part of their circle because they knew it was safe to leave their stuff next to me while they jumped.

Good lord, I’m glad someone else remembers that. I experienced it in real time, and it was mortifying!
