I’m not going to turn a paid day off given we get so few of them in this country but I’m not so enamored with the fiction behind the holiday that I’m going to be pissed that someone says fuck it.

Note that the lazy crooked racist orange santorum-covered enemy of the people will not be caught dead in a food bank or homeless shelter.

And it was raining so the Secret Service wouldn’t let him go…

Trump doesn’t have an account at this food bank. He also forgot his I.D. card.

Paycheck is a paycheck. There are worse films.

I’m white and I don’t feel attacked by this kind of talk. Not terribly.

I know that racism and more generally tribalism is universal. When traveling, I heard Arabs in Morocco tell the same sheep-sex jokes about Berbers that I heard Englishmen tell about Scots. I also think white supremacy is a bigger beast than that, having so shaped the world for millennia through colonialism, genocide,…

In fact, even if it might feel like it, there is not one segment of American society in which white people are disadvantaged because of their race.

Please, tell us more about all the Italians who were lynched, killed, had their homes burned down and all the other injustices they suffered in the Jim Crow south. This is interesting.

Damn, I wish the television cameras had been all over that. *sigh*

Now I can’t vouch for some of our writers like Monique Judge. After all, she called me a “country-as-fuck.” Then again, she likes the Oxford comma.

I usually love your posts, and have never felt I had anything of value to add to the conversation, but I feel I must address this one.

I know you probably get a lot of letters during this time of year about blackface but I read your blog about the teacher in Iowa who wore blackface.

So did the English Language. Lol.  

Same.  I wait for it all week and hit the page periodically throughout the day to see if it’s been posted yet.  

15 minutes of Fox News seems like a dangerously large dose of stupid. I went to get a hamburger in a place where they were playing Fox News on several teevees, and even with the volume turned all the way down to zero, so all I was exposed to was the text scrolling along the bottom of the screen and the presenters’s…

“I’ve never worn blackface but just because someone paints they’re face doesn’t make them racism”

Jesus wept.
