Oh goodness gracious. Staging a hate crime for Internet fame, especially in the wake of the Orlando massacre is beyond heartless. Sometimes humanity makes me so sad.

The LAPD’s claim that McSwiggan was seen injuring himself after taking his booking photo probably explains why the booking photo looks like this.
The saddest part of “YouTube” fame is that these stars are actually not all that interesting so they have to make up fake tragedies to keep the “story” going. This shit is SO DAMAGING to people who are ACTUALLY suffering from hate crimes, miscarriages, and birthday cake mishaps...?
50 LGBT people were massacred less than a month ago and this motherfucker decides to stage a hate crime for internet fame? I’m just appalled.
Santileses herself is also a Teach For America veteran (double yikes) and after leaving Baltimore spent three years with the same thinktank, The Education Trust, that helped develop NCLB and Common Core. Current and former members of TET founded Gates-backed EDI, which, again, promotes privatization and corporate…
Yes, and he is an alum and big proponent of Teach For America. I like his activism in other areas, but I don’t think his positions on education are good for students.
Yeah, if you like neoliberal educational policies like charter schools.
As of March of this year he was still in favor of Zuckerberg-style backing of charter schools under the banner of “reform,” and it sounds like that’s part and parcel of the new position. Yikes.
and if they make a fuss over her hair like they did Gabby... I might have to (metaphorically) claw someone’s eyes out.
Please please please please let this be Sqarr’s flameout. This prick deserves to slink away with his tail between his legs. He is the white-guiltiest, mansplainiest piece of shit I’ve ever seeeeeeen. On top of everything else that’s wrong with him, he’s appointed himself our Protector (he keeps the “trolls” from…
If you are concerned about civil rights then you celebrate all the wins, not just the ones that concern people that look like you.
What the heck are you talking about? YOU are the one that wrote this: “...not just the ones that concern people that look like you.” Not ME.
Isn’t it so annoying that you have to have that talk with white people about derailing the conversation every time they derail the conversation, making it double derailed because 1) you have to talk about the bullshit they derailed with, then 2) you have to talk about why derailing makes them a shity ally, and THEN we…
Uh huh. And that’s why mainstream feminist movements don’t feel relevant to a lot of people who would otherwise agree with their tenants—because they focus narrowly on the things that impact those with the most power in the movement—straight, white, cisgender, middle class women.

I don’t get it. Hitting JT with the cultural appropriation hammer just feels like petty, “take my ball and go home” stuff. He’s not a cultural tourist. He’s not going through an “urban” phase. He makes music that sounds very much like the music of someone who grew up in Memphis would make.

Nothing builds up my rage more than hearing someone telling someone to calm down.
This post was about how white people constantly derail/appropriate/completely fucking miss the point of black liberation politics and the comments section has become a brilliant example of it.
