“imagined as being in a position of power”

Can you imagine the uproar if white people were enslaved for hundreds of years, and after having been freed were still denied basic rights for another century, and then were denied the tools that would allow them to better their overall circumstance like decent education and access to housing and banking, and then…

The real conservative stupidity litmus test is whether you voted for Trump.

Also I hope no one missed this gem.

Glaziers are skilled tradesmen, much like plumbers or electricians. They have to go through the whole apprenticeship and journeyman path to become glaziers. Calling a glazier a glass installer is like calling a master plumber a toilet unclogger. The master plumber is the guy who constructs the entire system and is…

If that 10% (with an exclamation point no less) helps sooth your cognitive dissonance, go ahead. But facts are facts, and in fact both white men AND women are responsible. There are many articles even on this site to clarify this for you, perhaps a map as well (see above though it is pre-election, and note the states.…

Yup, how he looks has nothing to do with it. He is a bad person because of his actions.

This isn’t really in response to you, but I don’t want to reply to the people who are actually saying this shit, and your comment is tangentially related:

This is men. No where in his pissbaby rant did he mention consent. “Do you think it’s wrong to send people pictures of yourself?” Yeah, if they haven’t asked for them. “Are porn stars creepy” No, they consented to those videos being distributed to the public. And the public isn’t being forced to watch them. The…

OF COURSE Michelle MacLaren directed that episode. Her work on Breaking Bad was phenomenal, quite literally without flaw. This was done in exactly that style.

Racism is not a mental illness, nor is mental illness an excuse for racism.

yeah, some times you really need your cheese, or orajel and there were employees in there before, plus the store was open. I just don’t understand, if you’re that afraid of black people, maybe don’t work in a store where one (or three) is liable to walk in. don’t the kkk have businesses?

I’m pretty sure the common thread here is marijuana. The employees got freaked out by a customer and hid in the back: high. Dude goes to CVS in the middle of the night looking for cheese and spends 45 minutes wandering around the store: high.

Well, technically speaking, the store can throw people out for any reason whatsoever. If the employees on duty say a person’s trespassing, then they are. Even if it’s for a profoundly stupid reason that has “lawsuit” written all over it. The cop doesn’t get to decide if that reason’s stupid or not.

I am, again, legit horrified by race relations in this country - but how did they look around a CVS for 30-45 minutes?

Also, so the cop helped them until they suddenly became a threat?

The only conclusion I can come up with is that the employees had just indulged in some particularly paranoia-inducing weed together. Because that’s just fucking weird.

While we forced Germany to remember what fascism means, we allowed ourselves to forget with a pat on the back.

So they should have exploited an actual alcoholic? Think about it for a second...

That’s like being upset when an actress appears in a movie.
