succinctly, black people can’t be racist against white people because even if a black person holds prejudicial views of white people, or actively discriminates against white people from a position of some authority, they don’t have the support of a worldwide network of systems working in concert with their prejudice…

Google “Black people can’t be racist, Michael Harriot” and see what comes up.

 When Donald Trump tweets to Kanye West, he is wielding Kanye’s blackness as a weapon against black people.

The worst justification I ever hear is “He never did anything to me”.

Those kids have parents spending thousands on tutors and the like, their kids will be fine. The argument you’re making didn’t work in Little Rock (seriously, they said the exact same thing, check the comments here), and they won’t work now.

“But because space is limited, roping off 25% of the seats for disadvantaged kids means that 25% of the current students will be forced to attend a different, likely worse performing school.

The behavior of the parents is why I laugh when folks try to tell me a public school education is equal regardless of if you live in the city or the suburbs.

Bright spot: Henry Z

I think the best course of action for the school would be to actually replace the RA and the campus police with a goat and two turkeys. They would probably spread less shit around them and have more positive interactions with students.

I can’t imagine why she faces undue criticism . . .

Goddamn Angela Bassett is so fucking beautiful

It’s certainly looking like the trend for them to do now:

Throw the whole RA away. They’re power drunk. College “kids” are not actually your children. You don’t get to confiscate their stuff if they’re doing something you don’t like. You’re supposed to report them to an actual University official, like the Dean of Students. I’m tired of people using the police as their…

Rumor has it (not sure about statute of limitations), friends and I left a goat and 2 turkeys in my R.A.’s room for the weekend while he was away at an R.A. team building bullshit conference. Whole lotta pooping and peeing went on in that fools room that weekend. Someone should do worse to this R.A., and quickly,…

What the fuck? The RA had no right to take his personal property away from him in the first place. And then to bring the cops into this? That RA needs to get got and the cop needs to be fired.

“Think freely. Think with empathy and context too. Your words and actions have consequences.”

To clarify, I think they responded well to the situation by not digging in their heels and defending him. They obviously fucked up with teaching their son to not be racist and doubly dumb enough to post his racism for the world to see.

Good on the parents for actually parenting & punishing him, instead of defending his actions and being equally shitty... I’m pleasantly surprised! Maybe he will learn something.

1. I wonder what would have happened had the sisters called the cops on those white dudes? (I know, the sisters would have either been told to stop making something out of nothing or arrested...or worse)
