This needs more attention. The original settlers owed their lives to Native Americans - literally. The settlers were in every way imaginable unfit to survive on their own. I avoid November 25 as that time those people invited their new neighbors to dinner, then murdered them and stole their land. Shakespeare couldn’t…

“There was nothing here.”

Indigenous peoples contributions to white colonizers? How about FOOD muthafkr? What crops you think came over on the Mayflower? They showed up with dry biscuits, moldy cheese, some beer and a few chickens. They didn’t know how to fish, and their farming skills were suited to English crops and climate. They learned…

I will be forever grateful to Dan Savage and his fans for creating that definition.

Reality: The actual shooter of the officer was -not- shot.

I don’t understand why our liberal, enabling government keeps letting violent thugs like this roam our streets. If he would have just followed orders from his superiors he wouldn’t be in the situation he is in now.

Who the hell thinks this a good idea, no matter how close you are to the parents? There isn’t a single person in my life that would get away with doing this to my kid, let alone a person that has a power dynamic over then, like a teacher. No person of authority should be making this “joke”.

I disliked avocadoes until I moved to California for a while and learned about the importance of freshness and proper ripening (they do have a fairly short ripeness window and are rubbery before it and rather nasty afterward), of using them slightly chilled, and of context. I am now convinced that if you live a good…

Everything you just said made me feel tingly all over. Thanks for affirming my feelings. 

There are white women who think they can pull this shit because they are either ‘Black by injection,’ have a Black friend, have a Black step-child, grew up in a Black neighborhood...that somehow any and all of those and more inoculate them from being a gotdamn racist and also not a comedian.

I don’t have anything else to say about this pathetic “joke” that hasn’t been said by everyone else, so I’ll just say this: Stephen, you’ve either had some horrible avocados or some amazing snot in your life. 

This is the type of foolishness that white people encourage in Black people in order to “go along to get along” Is this what white people expect when they demand to be made to feel comfortable?

Seriously, this is a whole series of bad decsions. And there’s no way this teacher wasn’t aware of the Chauvin trial, so this “joke” was done directly in the face of national outrage over this exact scenario. I really can’t see how this could be anything but pure malice. What’s really sad is that the kid thought he…

“Ugh, those kids won’t stop misbehaving. I’m a teacher but don’t know what to do about it. Wish I could just... (thinking) Oh, Karen, you’re so bad. But, seriously... God, it would be SO funny to put my foot on a black person’s neck like that cop did. Say, you know who likes a good joke? Zaelyn’s mom! ZAELYN, GET OVER…

I’ve long thought that some people become teachers because they *hate* children. This kind of shit is proof.

I’ve got questions.

I like to imagine the banker who repossess her house sending a similar picture to her mother.
