Race, and racism - explicit and hidden - is a part of everything. Including automotive culture. If you can’t see that, or don’t want to believe that, you’re a part of the problem

Like how the guy in the Jeep was like, “WASN’T US!” That’s about the time I’d be pissing myself.
So does that make all of Donald’s wives really big Ho’s? I mean the first one basically fucked him and spit out three anchor babies. He then found ho number 2 and she was so disgusted by his fat ass and willingness to grope and fondle his daughter from Ho No. 1 that before the ink was dry on the divorce papers her ass…
What I legitimately do not get is that nearly all of the criticisms of Kamala Harris are based on her past as a prosecutor and all of the concerns, critiques, memes, rage-Tweets and so on are based on that history (which was mixed, she did some bad things and some good things as well), but the Biden/Harris criminal…
Engaging in the democratic process is a civic duty. Instead of expecting it to be some fun, fulfilling experience, and then feeling let down, let it simply be doing what good you can for your community with the tools you have.
WELP. That was a longish thinkpiece to circle around trying to rationalize not being thrilled by Harris, simply because she does not meet your Blackness and wokeness purity test. This does not surprise me at all, but I am vastly disappointed nonetheless. I am NOT sorry she is not as melanated as you want her to be.
Exactly. Politics is a job. It’s great when an inspiring candidate comes along that grabs the public’s imagination. But even they get stuck doing the job.
#notallwhitepeople - but enough to get him elected.
Well, it sure as shit wasn’t 53% of Black women and 62% of Black men who voted for T***p in ‘16.
can you please not say anything if you are white and NOT a trump supporter? you are in the majority. you do not get to tell those at risk BECAUSE of the trump presidency what to say about the MAJORITY of a MAJORITY that voted trump in.
I think one piece of the problem is hoping to feel excited or inspired by politics on an ongoing basis. It’s fantastic that as a first time voter you felt so inspired, but maybe that was more about the first time than the vote, know what I mean? Do you feel inspired by upholding your other civic responsibilities? Get…
Another thought: Ashley is so smart. But some of her political writing reminds me of all those Psychology Today articles about “how to know you’re a narcissist.” Especially the part about putting people on a pedestal until they reveal any flaw that conflicts with your own ideal, then trashing them as a traitor.…
Anything to depress the vote. Trump is a literal fucking fascist but eh...we’re not super excited about the Dem choice. So, you know, guess we’ll stay home and watch the downfall of America.
I am not in a bad mood and this annoyed me as well. This is not the time to look for the absolutely perfect candidate. This is near-literal do or die time.
I am so tired of these stupid purity tests that are specifically targeted at women candidates. If you want Trump and friends to kill more Americans, then just say it alrrady.
That’s the point, my friend. They don’t CARE about the policies. Any more than they cared about Obama’s policies. The motivations are deeper and more sickening than that.
I know how he feels. I constantly post opinions like “Raisin Bran #1 cereal” when in actuality that is not my position.
My problem with shit like this is that they always go to the lowest rung possible to insult someone. Instead of attacking her about her policies, her work in the past,it goes straight to insults or name calling.
Note to white folks in 2020: We are not you all in 2016. If you come for her you will pay. Maybe if white women reacted like that in 2016 we wouldn’t be in this mess. For real we are not fucking around with you this time. One more time, as we say in the D9 Y’ALL GONNA LEARN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
