It’s tough to call out a boss because they can just fire you & then ignore everything you said once you’re gone.
It’s tough to call out other people IRL because they just walk away & then ignore everything you said once you’re gone.
It’s tough to call out people online because they just block you & then ignore…

Yup. We have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Any response of “over pc” of “snowflake” or “triggered” is really just a fearful response refusing to be uncomfortable with the truth that is being white means conditioned over generations to be racist. Not necessarily KKK or Nazi racism - thats obvious - but…

Late to the party white dude probably in the grays here, but you couldn’t be more correct. We’re all fucking racist. Every single one of us had someone in our lives when we were young who was just openly hateful, and that sticks. Some of us just try to cut that shit out or bury it down. But it’s still there. And…

To all of the White people in the grays, y’all wanted this shit, so here we go.

Things like this help as well.

As a random white dude reading this article, these points really resonated with me. White people really are touchy about the concept of “white privilege” and how they believe it negates their accomplishments. Many (most?) take it as a personal insult. I’ll admit, as a white boy growing up dirt poor and on government…

This isn’t a YOU HAVE TO DO THIS type thing. It’s “how to be better” and it’s not wrong. Realize your shortcomings, be kinder and more considerate to others, think through your actions

I finally realized that there was something fundamentally broken in how White people are socialized last year, when I made a White man go berserk by just asking him, “Are you White, yes or no?” And he responded with “I’m a human being”. He couldn’t understand that his Whiteness was intrinsically linked to how he was…

I mean, course content is generally something any adult would likely know given that it is in the school curriculum. I tend to think we need to focus more on the quality of our pedagogical education, as there’s a pretty wide consensus that our education schools are a joke and it’s pretty noticeable how much…

America is really a gigantic 3rd world country with some developed cities. Those kids were robbed of a chance to have a future and the government doesn’t give two fucks because it’s all part of the plan for late stage capitalism. I’m disgusted.

Petchesky was just canned, unbelievable.

As someone who was once part of a similar insurrection against arrogant, incompetent, and condescending management, I want to applaud all of y’all for today’s showing. I’m sure you’re simultaneously enjoying the fun of mutiny while also understanding the risk. Please also know how much it means to us here in the feebl…

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

Counterpoint, having been to many Methodist weddings (meaning, no booze at all), is no booze at a wedding is PERFECTLY fine.

Well, I was going to say Canadiens-Nordiques maybe, but okay, sure...

this isnt an exclusively NBA problem, either: the NHL is almost allergic sometimes to letting highly-drafted forwards develop in the minors/juniors/college, even though the same is done with goalies and defensemen essentially as a rule. there are players who can pivot right to the pro game, and ones who benefit from…

Some people are like that. They can be genuinely kind, smart, engaging individuals in relaxed settings, but any sort of competition turns them into raging assholes. And with professional athletes, competing with millions of dollars at stake on the biggest stage, it’s even more extreme.

Draymond Green’s a dick-and-balls-kicking asshole but he’s also right a lot of the time. For every can’t miss prospect like LeBron or KD or Zion, there’s a dozen guys every year who have the potential to have long, productive careers in the NBA and never get it because they don’t land in a situation that’ll help them…

Rob Ford was damn close, and so is Doug.
