Facts.

It’s not about declining anything. Its about using what we were given solely because of our birth to help others who...weren’t. Or, at the least, not actively opposing their struggle to get what we take for granted.

No, a Godsend would be Kinja IP banning, but it’s all about the clicks...

Au contraire. That is constantly disputed. Just take a look at the greys on this article. Or the behavior of the people featured in the article.

Yes.

It’s always been bad here. The PNW is white supremacist hate group land and has been for decades. Seattle was built on institutionalized racism, segregation, and redlining. It’s getting materially worse here, too, due to Amazon deciding to headquarter here and the resultant huge influx of tech money and fuckshit …

You are inferring something that is not implied here.

We need to find out who’s ungreying all the assholes. I’m pretty sure it’s one person. Is there any way to see who is recommending them? Everything this troll says is straight out of the Trumpster fire (including the poor grammar).

Right? For all the (many legitimate) complaints about kinja, I can’t think of another board I’ve ever been on that lets me delete replies to my comments. Deleting stupid comments is fun.

This comment is perfect in every way. I wish I had 1/10th of your eloquence.

Ha, ha. The MLK “I have a dream” reference is priceless.

She’s recognizing what her parents failed to recognize which is that white people in this country are afforded special rights precisely due to the circumstances of their birth. Otherwise known as ‘privilege.’

What this little girl was starting to feel is called “compassion.” Not to mention “empathy.” It comes natural to the human species. Until it is snuffed out by adults.

And it’s so futile. I don’t get mad when I see an evil troll comment, I’m delighted that I get to erase something foul from existence. The dismiss option is a godsend.

She is no more responsible for the circumstances of her birth than anyone else.

Liberals....just better at double talk than Conservatives.

I hope this doesn’t derail your point and please forgive me if it does, but on the plus side, I’m 100 percent convinced that I’d still be totally ignorant if it wasn’t for this technology. You guys really are doing the Lord’s work here and I’m grateful for it.

I get that no one can be 100% right on every issue, and I’m sure I have blind spots of my own. But enthusiastic support for Black Lives Matter needs to be one of the core precepts of American liberalism. Anything less is contrary to basic human rights and decency.

She said she ‘felt bad about being white.’ And that ‘police lie and do bad things.’”

The whole world is getting more racist. There is no “better” way to profit and assimilate than to adhere to anti-blackness. People always forget the power of media. Couple that with the ease and ubiquity of technology, and confirmation bias can not die.

White Seattelite here. This tracks. Not the least bit surprising.

I’m also not surprised by white Seattleites all over the internet talking about how shocking the murder of Charleena Lyles is “because Seattle is so welcoming and progressive!” I’m disgusted by it, because it’s willfully clueless bullshit and outright…
