That person always does. Always.

Agreed, I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought that line was weird.

I think they are well aware that this behavior is wrong.  They just know that their own power and privilege is inextricably linked to the power of white men-their fathers, brothers, sons, friends-and that power and privilege must be protected at all costs.  Their identities, their whole way of life depends upon it. …

The legs! The damn legs! I hate it.

Kenneth Lay has been dead for twelve years.

Gandhi was also a piece of shit who hated black people (amongst other sins), so it fits.

That’s the way it always works in america.  Every time there is a brief period of progress, real or imagined, there is a vehement and overwhelming backlash.

Considering that one of the cornerstone scenes in Sixteen Candles is a date rape played for laughs, Kavanaugh is both Porky’s and Sixteen Candles.

Yeah, the Weinstein comparison completely ignores how old Cosby is and how long he actually did get away with it.  And, frankly, he’s still getting away with it.  He has so, so many more victims for which he will never be punished.

They know it’s not OK, and that’s what arouses them. They are bad people. They just don’t believe they will get caught.

I see what you mean.  I find it hard to conceptualize the way it would work because the campaign to make sure we are only what they say we are and nothing more is just so specific and powerful.  We’d need a template from a people who suffered as significant a campaign to erase us from our own memory.  There probably…

One more thing. I’d bet that locally in Tulsa people do commemorate this incident. Another part of why we don’t nationally or as a whole commemorate a lot of things is because the few of us who are fortunate enough to actually know these things happened are also separated from the rest of us. We’re purposefully a…

I hope this doesn’t come across as unduly combative, but I don’t know how your initial question can be answered if we’re putting “historical evidence aside.” That doesn’t make sense to me.

We do, but usually regionally. But, it is also an essential function of white supremacy to deny us our history and culture. We were deliberately, under threat of death, the moment they took us captive and brought us here, denied our languages, our cultural practices, our religions, and our history. Most of us don’t…

Does CT stand for Clarence Thomas?

No, that’s good. Show yourself back in.

I said the same thing to my coworker earlier. This is textbook abuser behavior. The yelling, the lashing out the crying, the manipulation, the painting himself as the real victim-whatever he can do to take the focus off his behavior and make it about his feelings. They all do this when they get caught, when there’s…

Oh my god....

Same.  They go low....that means their teeth are in kicking range.

That guy has to be trolling. “The black lady that cleans my office”??
