Coal Industry is this century’s Whale Oil Industry. Saving it is useless. It’s going to die sooner or later.

I live in a dying coal town on the Colorado’s west slope. People here pride themselves on our one trick pony economy and it’s so fucking stupid. I’ve never lived in a sunnier place, and yet they still cling to coal and discount wind or solar. 3/4 of the people I work with voted for Dump, thinking that he was going to…

I am in South East Texas. Since I’m a white woman they all assume I’m racist, bigoted and Christian. I’m none of those things. They also expect me to be sexist for some reason and will talk about feminazis or man hating feminists. It is exhausting.

My dad, bless his ageing heart, used to be one of these people. Not to any great extent, and never out of malice; he would refer to all brown people as “Pakis”, spoke in a loud, clear voice to anyone who had an accent, etc. He’s a kind man, just a bit...behind on his sensitivity training. Most of that is due to his…

Yuuuup. I’m VERY light-skinned compared to most of my family, but you can say I “pass.” I didn’t even know how light skinned I was until I went to college in Northern California because I would always spend a bunch of time at the beach since I was little. That’s when I learned to navigate my privilege and that I had a…

Oh god, is it ever true.

I am light-skinned and mixed, and I cannot tell you how many white people I’ve been around who think it’s okay to say racist shit around me, including the n-word, because “you’re not like THEM.” I want to set them on fire.

My daughter is black, but doesn’t look it at all. My dad said she’s going to hear a lot of shit when she’s around white people when she’s older. He said he hopes she knows how to fight.

One really sick part about this whole thing is that this is how A LOT of white people talk when no one else is around. The Trump era has made people think this is OK to not only say while at home, but on national television. People need to be publicly shamed for saying shit like this.

All show, you know Mindy will settle for nothing “less” than a tall white dude. She is the epitome of wants-to-be-white-so-badly.

Banned? You don’t say!

Charlemagne is fucking trash. I can’t stand him.

Sorry man. I see your point, but with the Women’s March and all, you see white women being positioned as the chief opposition to Trump, and its worth noting that y’all are complicit. There are some people on here that are all for shitting on Trump, but when we talk about BLM or trans people being murdered... it gets…

Nah, as a white female who voted for Clinton, I think we can keep flogging that horse until white females get our collective shit together and don’t vote in a majority for an absolute monster. We made this bed, and we don’t get to pretend it didn’t happen just because A FEE MONTHS have passed.

It needs to be made for next fucking decade, frankly.

I’m still annoyed at Trevor Noah and Charlemagne the idiot over the way they fawned over her. Presumably, it’s not all Black men (just the ashy ones I “run” into on Clutch apparently.) I am being a bit facetious about the Black men fawning over her.

Who is flogging you?

Horrible person not quite horrible enough for horrible website.

I basically stopped breathing when I read this. The man’s skin was burned off of his body, for fucks sake. So police officers, corrections officers—they can just torture, beat, rape, and murder average citizens, crime suspects, and inmates as much as they want, as long as those people are poor and/or non-white? Those…

Let me get this straight, the asshole used his pregnant girlfriend as a human shield and the cops think that the fact that they still pulled the trigger is not their fault?
