Drinking's bad for you.

you are what is wrong with America.

lol yes god bless the future of every single person who reads this and immediately ricochets into "BUT WHAT ABOUT ME"

I'm White. I consider myself a good person. I don't think I deserve a prize for it. But I'm sick of being told to shut the fuck up because of my privilege. My opinions and empathy mater as much as anyone else and it has nothing to do with the color of my skin, it is about being a human being.

She is not asking for a fucking prize.

Neither do they deserve to be accused of wanting a prize when they haven't, actually, asked for one.

The best part about the comments section here are the well-intentioned folks that just get eviscerated by people looking to be outraged. You don't have to look, outraged people! There is plenty to be angry about; stop taking it out on people who mean well (even if meaning well isn't quite good enough).

Did it ever occur to you that perhaps some people just do what they feel is right because its the right thing to do. Perhaps the only thing they think they 'deserve' is to be treated the same way that they treat others, or at the very least not be victimized because of their behavior.

I generally agree with the article, but I think that by responding with the same hostility that people usually use on someone who is an actual racist is missing the point as well.

I disagree. She has a point. She wasn't asking to be congratulated for it... she wasn't going to apologize for simply being a white person who cares. No one should have to apologize for doing good things just because of their color.

Your assumption here is a problem. You assume that the commenter is looking for a prize. They aren't. They are saying they don't need to apologize for sympathy and empathy which is offered without reward to all walks of life. That the automatic assumption (on your part, it would seem) that they are saying these…

i think too many people see empathy and support as being somehow attention whoring. I'm sure there are is a small group out there who act supportive just to feel good on social media, but most are people who are disgusted by police violence, inherent inequalities, institutional racism, and the kind of dismissive…

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

Lets look at the facts:

1. Chuck Johnson shits.
2. Someone shit on the floor.
3. Chuck Johnson has provided no evidence that he did not shit on the floor.

Conclusion: Chuck Johnson is a serial floor-shitter-onner.

4 For 30: The Ryan Leaf Story

Ten minutes later, his Frosty was ready.

Police knew Thigpen by his failure to complete the short drive.

Honestly surprised about this mascot. With the games being in Brazil, I'd expect a hairless cat.

The Big 12 media laughed nervously, as they heard that exact same line from Larry Eustachy many, many times.
