Every now and then, I get an friend request from someone from junior high or high school. If it’s someone who was a spectacular asshole, I usually respond with something like*:

Amen, brother. If you’re white and not a part of the problem, when your Aunt Karen says some racist shit, you gotta smack her ass down instead of just nodding and trying to brush that shit off.
Zoning.
One other way people should try to be anti-racist (I legitimately have no clue if I’m going to be shouted down for this, but it’s something I definitely believe in) is if you are white and you see a person of color being harassed by the police for [insert BS reason for questioning African Americans for just living…
But Dubey told the Washington Post that he’s no hero. “If people like us aren’t going to open a door, then who the fuck is?”
In addition, police intercepted the first order of pizza that Dubey ordered to feed his hungry houseguests, and an upper level police officer knocked on the door at least once to say they were there because someone “called in medical distress” - Dubey and the people inside said no they did not, and turned the…
This made me a little teary eyed to see how this man opened up his home for others. This is America. This is the America I’ve known and I want, not all the other shit that was outside of his home.
I mean, I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the whole problem is that organized protests with clear speeches by community leaders happen all the time, including in the midst of this, and none of it gets press UNTIL stuff goes all wobbly.
For instance, I work on McAllister in San Francisco and there were…
It’s not something do intentionally. In fact, many times low-income schools are actually the best-funded. But funding from the state is not even necessarily the most important factor in affecting quality of education. Having educated parents and a stable home is extremely important. Schools in wealthy areas have…
Zellnor Myrie (a democratic senator representing Brooklyn’s district) got pepper sprayed and cuffed at a New York protest a couple days ago. It’s not letting me post the twitter screenshot, but you can look it up if you want proof. I hate that that happened to him, but I haven’t heard of anyone else being about it…
The cops had trapped the protesters on Swann Street - no way out and coming in with tear gas, beatdowns and more. A lot of people hauled off there.
Look, there are a few ways that this can go other than the police unilaterally de-escalating. All of those options are catastrophic. One, the protesters can unilaterally de-escalate. In that case, sure, there’s the pretense of peace. But it’s a peace at the end of a gun barrel, which is not real peace, and will not be…
Shooting tear gas into a home* is so vile. No room for it to blow away, permanent damage to the house, making it completely unsafe to even remain there for days later for this man and his family. This is what happens when you see the people you’re supposed to be serving and protecting as enemy combatants to destroy.
Mr. Dubey....you are a patriot and a decent human being. You’re what really makes this country great.
White people have been against the busing of black students to their schools for decades. Go to a school board meeting where busing is discussed and you will see some of the thinnest veiled racism from white parents.
The police are out of control, and their escalation is just making things worse. This is not what “protect and serve” should look like.
Institutional racism is based around and within an organization. These treatments, policies, or practices are discriminatory, unfair, and biased and based on race, giving a better outcome for white people over black people. Although institutional policies may not specify race, their intent is to establish advantages…
Fuck her husband as well. She didn’t do this on her own, and he has monetized content too.
Autism parent here. You don’t “rehome” any child ever. If you are such a fucked up human being you do something like that, then you should never be allowed to adopt.
This is a perfect opportunity to really call out the fuckary that happens in over-seas adoptions - specifically adopting children of color by white…
Who knew that treating a little boy like a disposable prop to polish your influencer brand was where people would draw the line?
