Yeah no. I’ll be the obnoxious German person who says: sure, keep the plantations, the market auction platforms, the shackles and huts. Keep the gallows and whips. Make them into museums and commemorative spaces to grieve, respect and remember the victims.

Knowing what your coworkers make is the only way to keep employers honest-ish. Keeping that stuff secret serves no one’s interests but the employers’.

Nope, it makes workers realize how bad they are possibly getting the shaft. Which in turn results in resentment toward the management. 

Nice earrings. Bear’s like, “Oooo I’m fancy!”

I’m not crying *wipes tears* YOU’RE CRYING!!!!!

Yao is Chinese. He’s not Asian-American.

I mean, it’s not really abuse from Ivy Leaguers if it comes from people who go to Cornell.

Same! It’s rare to see someone who’s been publicly called out for something 1) acknowledge that they messed up AND 2) understand why what they did was a mess up.

I’d say anything inside 95 (with some exceptions - it breaks down a little bit to the north, I don’t think most people would say Salem is…

I’ve lived in a lot of cities across the country, and I can definitively say this about Boston: it’s the most segregated city I’ve ever lived in. I think that, generally speaking, the population is ostensibly progressive and inclusive. But physical segregation begets prejudice, and I think that’s at the core of a lot…

Sorry, Emma, they’re just not my kind of dogs. They’re just not.. terriers.

Can we find a way to take the money directly out of the pockets of the rich assholes responsible? That way, we actually punish them, and local taxpayers won’t gripe about the staggering $1.43 that this will cost them individually.

Fun fact of the day: the Boston Red Sox were the last pre-expansion franchise to integrate their team with a person of color (Pumpsie Green). Does that make the town or the team irredeemably racist?
