The New York Red Bulls say “hello and give me your money”

I have no idea where the conductor is on your train of logic but this doesn’t make any sense.

Its not that I don’t see what you’re saying, I do. But you're missing something important: protesters aren't the only people voting. There are again millions of people voting who say it's more important for them to be comfortable than it is for people of color to be treated as equals. Which makes protest necessary. 

What?

Institutionalized racism isn’t just a government or a sign that says "whites only". Nobody votes for their police officers, or has a say in the gerrymandering of voting districts. Nor does voting change the people's mind who say institutionalized racism is ok. Or even if it doesn't change minds, it brings their views…

Voting isn’t a protest though. Do you expect Kaep to go around saying “well, I voted but the guy who won thinks the fact that cops have a badge is enough justification to shoot unarmed black people. That’s a shame.”? The reason protests are important is because literally millions of people are actually ok with that…

Right but you’ve again proven the opposite points with your arguments. People can change government with a vote yet racist ideas still get voted into office because of racist voters. That’s not ok. Everyone watching football is aware of racism but how many are actually doing anything? That’s not ok. You have an…

Intentions are good to have, but but adequate communication is better. Rather than just wish you could retract the comment, if you are here to learn you should really (and I mean really) think about why your comment was the target of the board’s ire. Because finally, as well thought out as your responses are, they…

The kind of comment you posted would be best suited for a Cosmopolitan quiz column. I hope that you can understand this is definitely not one of those articles.

A reasonable and not unexpected response.

So this is actually somewhere I struggle. As a white dude there are people around me who voted for Trump. The choice I’m faced with is to cut them out of my life or to engage them on it and make sure they don’t do it again. In a community as homogenous as my workplace and as implicitly segregated as my community, if I…

The Trekkie in me agrees about 75% with the initial comment.

As the owner of a 2010 Toyota Camry, yes I look at my car. The scene is usually completed by a solemn shake of my head and muttering something about wishing the salt was off the roads so I could drive the Miata in. But dutifully, I climb into the drivers seat and back out of my parking space. After all, it’s a fucking…

That’s my strategy for lunch as well, and it works great. However for me, waking up at 5am for a 45 minutes drive to work, best practice is definitely drinking premade breakfast with coffee in the car. It saves the time of eating at home of a make cereal or eggs, and it means I don’t need to rely on having the…
