Trump is a virulent racist and bigot. And millions of people voted for him. You can debate how many voted for him explicitly because of his racism but all who support him are and always have been complicit. The only thing Trump has been consistently honest about is what a garbage human he is. He never stops telling us…

Ain’t it amazing how police can arrest a black reporter in the US without even reasonable suspicion, but a cop kneeling on the jugular of a black man for nine minutes until he’s dead stays free because local officials are sitting on their hands while they search for any excuse to determine there’s no probable cause?

All of the chain stores and franchise businesses have huge umbrella insurance policies. Their total losses will be <0. People horrified at them being burned and smashed and willing to kotow the cops have just told you who they are, listen.

Martin Luther King, Jr., spent years calling for equality, advocating for change through non-violence. Those non-violent protests frequently resulted in white reactions of violence against the protestors, and King found himself widely disliked by whites, including liberal whites, and targeted by the FBI, until finally…

“Stop sweet-talking [the white man]. Tell him how you feel.... [Let him know that] if he’s not ready to clean his house up, he shouldn’t have a house. It should catch on fire and burn down.”

If the cops ever take me out like Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Sandra Bland, et al. I want and give full permission for people to riot and loot as many corporate chain stores as possible and burn as many police stations as they can all throughout the nation, in the my name and in the name of justice. I want people to…

Ok, let me try to extend the benefit of the doubt to Tom’s clearly racist ass...

“My heart hurts,”

Agreed, especially since his opening salvo was, “I’M TOM AUSTIN.” like that supposed to mean something to somebody.

Being a Wypipo what I wonder is this:
1. Were there any other (white)people in the gym? If so:

At some point the black delegation is going to have to settle on a name for male Karens

Dry Shampoo*before* bed. It will change your life.

I don’t have kids, and I live in an apartment. But I’m seriously considering that dino pool.

Kids + water is a timeless combination.  I got a cheap-ass inflatable pool + slip n slide combo at Aldi the other day for $30.  The slide portion was meh, but my 5 year old lounged in that little pool for the bulk of the afternoon. Well worth it!

Around 2002, a white woman acquaintance went as Bob Ross for Halloween. Midway through the night, her black painted-on beard had been smudged all over her face (and arms, and clothes) so it looked like she was wearing black face.

Holy crap that movie. We were similarly at a friend’s place and we had it on just as background noise none of us having watched it before, and I just remember looking up and saying “holy shit they’re all in blackface.” As I recall the plot is a hotel only open on holidays, and there’s a musical number for each one.…

If it’s not the government’s job to protect health, then we should get mob-with-a-pitchfork angry when the government inspects agricultural products and finds e. coli or listeria in them, or when Head Start/Early Head Start programs require lead screenings for their students, and we should have staged a coup in 1983 wh…

Okay but is Jimmy going to apologize for being a medicore white male in an industry where plenty of women and POC (who don’t do fake laughing and fake water spitting) would do a lot better job than he ever could?

Admittedly, my memory of the dark ages of the year 2000 is a little hazy, but I feel like blackface was well established as being very offensive at that time.

A protection agency? Like for white people?
