“A lot of musicals are set in the olden days when minorities were not really around”

Others have broken it down better than I could, but I just want to add (by way of Ijeoma Oluo) that one distinction between the two is that transgender is a two-way street while transrace is not. Meaning, a man can just about as easily become a woman and pass as a woman, as a woman can become a man and pass as a man.…

Its simple. Transgender is believed to arise from a difference in the wiring of the brain vs. physical anatomy. More explicitly, one can be born with a brain hard-wired like a male and the anatomy of a woman.

But there is no such “hard wiring” for ethnicity, and more specifically, our culture. Culture is usually…

We live in a world that took Kaepernick’s quiet protest and turned it into such a media sensation that he became a toxic asset to the NFL. I don’t think your cynicism is unwarranted at all.

I think you’re too naive in forgetting that literally nothing is as important at Ohio State as winning football games, and this guy can help them win football games. They need him under contract slave labor restricted free agency indentured servitude before they can tell him not to speak.

I don’t see why it should be included in this discussion. Since it’s a whole different subject. You know, outside of this discussion. You only hear about black-on-black crime when it’s used as a way to dilute the discussion about police violence. Other than that nobody seems to give a fuck.

Black people talk about crime within their own communities constantly. You don’t hear about it because it’s a problem that doesn’t effect or involve you, and that you only care about when you need a false equivalency to shutdown discussions about police brutality and racism.

What’s ridiculous about this outrage is that #letthemdie isn’t even a call to action. It’s not about finding racists and killing them. It’s relies on complete passivity. It’s about seeing someone who actually hates you and your life and seeing them in pain and just keep on stepping.

Thank you for doing what many other American media outlets aren’t, calling it a terrorist attack b/c that what it was.

Again, stunning how the targets of racial and ethnic vitriol are usually much better equipped to display the humanity bigots and racists insist they are incapable of.

This act sends two distinct messages.

CUPCAKES ARE OVERRATED! There I said it!

Your writing is so good and I definitely look forward to you seeing your work on even more platforms.

In the US we call death panels “Insurance companies” and we make damn sure they’re insanely well paid to fuck people over.

It’s wishful thinking to assume that states “probably will” increase spending on Medicaid.

Racist white men are the most fragile, scared and sensitive people in the country, which I think has a lot to do with these fits and power trips.

Just another bad apple I suppose:

...Which he, only moments later, re-gifted to a staffer, stating, “There’s too many words, and they’re not even my kind of words. The best words are mine, not that guys. Give this to (pointing at a random staffer) that guy.” He then whispered to his son-in-law while walking away, “When we get back, bill him for that.”
