Neither can I. I am ashamed for humanity. And I am in tears for Florida, where I lived for 10 years. I know those other people at the meeting way too well. Commissioner Omari Hardy is a hero.

A great conversation--thank you.

omg. “As an overly chesty girl, it fucking KILLS me to see her boobs trying to escape those tiny little triangles on her bikini top.” Escape! I burst out laughing. And me too. ;)

So well put. All of it. I too await that day when white people are in the minority because that it what it is going to take to build a better for everyone. (And to the ignorant trolls, I’m white.)

THANK YOU! I agree completely and could not have put it better than that.

All of that breaks my heart. I can’t even think of something useful to say but thank you for the article. And coconuts are good.

I have a ten year old grey Ford Explorer hybrid with roof racks that I’ll definitely be stuck with for the near future. I remember hearing after I bought it that it was Obama’s last car before he no longer did the driving (anywhere)!! :)

Props to whomever picked that photo--”My tongue is escaping my mouth!” Chronically.

Do you know why the private collector sat on the materials for 25 years?

Agreed. And, I often wish I could just duct tape friends to a chair and just make them read and read and read the sources they ignore. The Root is always in that rotation. For a lot of white people, exposure en masse over time might at least deliver them to a place where they can hear what is all around them. But the…

Omg. That is the most perfect reply conceivable. lmaf. Genius!

Exactly! Some foods are just transcendent. But agreed--no Kool Aid.

That uncut video is pure ugliness. I’m so glad she got the settlement. 

Speechless. How can the insanity of approving this “historical figure” costume be the least bit confusing to anyone alive by now? I am horrified.

PEAS IN GUACAMOLE!!????? Oh no.

Thank you for that reply, skeffles. Neither Mengele nor any of the mess of doctors, nurses, and others involved in such experiments ever produced research of any great significance. I would not add the hypothermia “research” to any list of significant research of great measure either. Those guys tortured and killed…

I was wondering the same thing.

Well said.
