“White tears” is the right label. Not trolling, not being antagonistic- just pointing out a common line of reasoning that makes it difficult for us to be on the same page. The reasoning: it can’t be a “white tears” moment because I’m White and I have no tears. But you realize there is an ocean of other people’s White…

Why are white privilege deniers so one-note? It always class but never, ever, EVER race.

Disagree, friend. I believe it’s exactly the other way. White College Incorporated will gladly take him. Some will be even more eager to have him and his parents’ pretty-please donation. Remember, The Whites love to rally around any of their own ever reprimanded for being ‘honest’. You think he has a Go Fund Me yet?

What makes you think he was well parented? The statement says the parents and the school came to a ‘joint decision’ the lil’ racist wouldn’t be attending any events. It didn’t say the parents were grounding him on their own. The ‘joint’ part could be that the parents are simply not fighting to have him attend. This a…

First of all, dude is ugly, and the stenciled sign was ugly. I’m too old to care about a promposal, but if it’s supposed to be a more grand gesture than, “Hey. We doing prom, right?” this was a hella lazy effort. Did he forget to get the fake cotton from Hobby Lobby?

What I’m doing, friend?

I’m here for this energy and this reality.

Can we go further with,“Don’t?” No additions, just plain old DON’T. Thinking of calling the police on a suspicious 4 year old riding a big wheel 11 houses down? Don’t. Are you a glass of Pinot away from touching Kisha’s hair at the bar? Don’t. Sudden urge to vote against giving the Black neighborhood clean water?…

* I come in peace.*

Wow, your Very Important Contribution just launched this conversation full circle! You found a way to provide a factual definition that is completely irrelevant to this discussion. Let’s explore:

Does this happen to you in real life? Because it happens to me all the time. Even the friendliest, well meaning WW will look me dead in the eyes and swear on ten Bibles and a blue- eyed Jesus bobble head that she didn’t say something and I have to play her words back to her or show her her own words she typed. It…

Yeah, they know what is it. Getting them to admit it is the issue.

You’re dropping jewels. I guess I just wanted to know why to try to prevent making more monsters. If there’s a critical incident period they learn to do this mess, maybe as an educator, I can try to inoculate them against that tendency. A girl can dream, I guess.

Yep, I can read. And you are saying the police are not the story, but they are indeed a major, gigantic part of the story. The literal crux of the article here, the biggest deal of the whole mess is that the guy called the police out of personal frustration-not reporting a crime- and the police actually came. Here’s…

Yeah, the one who looks like ol boy from Tales From the Crypt. Ew.

MUST!

I get it. I do. I’m half old and half southern and I know the art of distraction. It’s the *way* they’re doing it that I’m asking about. So, the type of dirt is what I need your help with. Why harp on tiny, irrelevant details to impeach their actuality?

That urge to give a reason why dude was mad is gaslighting. The choice to satisfy that urge by bungee jumping into an already correct assertion to ‘correct’ an arbitrary, infinitesimal datum is that bullshit I’m asking about. They’re always fixated an undotted ‘I’ or uncrossed ‘T’, a speck of dust covering a sign, an…

It’s gaslighting, but the gas is made of synthesized negative integers and encyclopedias from 1973. Why is that the go-to? I get that nit picking arbitrary details is a common gaslighting tactic, but these guys have a very narrow focus on units of measurement, wind chill factors, the etymological difference between…

They don’t have to long for those days, they’re here! The true crime is being outside of White people’s immediate control. That’s it. I want you gone and you won’t go? Call the police. You’re not kissing my ass well enough? Call the police. I don’t like your face? Call the police. They will call the police on a…
