It's about the money lost, which I would guess is significant. Since this protest was well known before hand, many people avoided the MOA on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. I'm starting to think protests that affect cash flow are the most effective, so this was a pretty brilliant action.

Thank you for reminding me about him, if only for this song alone:
Any article that involves race is going to bring out idiot white people. Nature of the game.
My best Christmas gift, was when a guy I knew, who had no close family of his own, had me stay with him. I stayed in his house until after New Years. I got to see snow, and build a snowman for the first time. He took me ice skating for the first time. He then gave me something off my bucket list, a kiss in the snow.
In 1991, I got a Lil Miss Singing Mermaid from my Nana. I was so pumped. Then I went to my aunt's house and got another Lil Miss Singing fucking Mermaid! I played with them constantly (for those that don't know, they changed color with temperature and sang a song. I think she might have had a blinking crown. ) - so…
Exactly. And all of these people that ranted about Mike Brown being a thug were spectacularly quiet about Eric Garner. Not a peep. It takes a lot of will power to not engage these willfully ignorant fools.
Truth. I felt like I was alone in supporting Christian Bale's rant about the guy who kept mucking up at work when he was all, "He's a nice guy, a nice guy.... but that doesn't fucking cut it does it?" I'm over the concept of "nice." All it means is not outwardly malicious. Being nice is not a virtue if all you do…
Willful ignorance is a term I've used a lot in the last few weeks. In trying to get a handle on why I was so angry at 'friends' commenting on Facebook about this, I realized it was the willful ignorance of these individuals that enraged me. I can forgive stupid, but this I just couldn't get over. You just can't…
"Sometimes I think good white people expect to be rewarded for their decency. We are not like those other white people. See how enlightened and aware we are? See how we are good?"
This, right here. I envy and sometimes resent my husband and white friends because they can just go through life without dealing with this. Like, I can't even go into local store and buy pantyhose or foundation that suits my skintone. I have a white friend who was like, "I'm so pale I can't find powder!" It's. Not.…
#AllLivesMatter needs to die and go to hell. What a good example of the "good intentions" of white folks completely diminishing the struggles and lived experiences of POC.
This has given me all the feels. I am struggling not to cut all of the white people out of my life (kind of hard, given I'm married to a white man) and many of those people are "good white people." They are shocked at racism and racist behavior— so much so they I get links to racist posts on websites because they…
Am I overthinking? Am I just being paranoid? It's exhausting.
It's a bit of an anomaly here. Maybe the best spot between Pittsburg and Philly in the state. You should come back and visit it's even more interesting now.
Yeah it sucks. I live in Lancaster which imho is a little bit more progressive but there are still a lot of old racists hanging around especially outside the city limits. But the younger generations are changing the landscape a bit.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS! Slay! SLAY!
Funny thing about black and hispanic people. We're not a monolith. I'm black and nerdy. You are not going to turn to me if you want accurate slang of say South Central LA or say East NY. I know some elvish though, and l'argot. tu vas kiffer ta race. I bring this up not because I don't want to be associated with…
"I can't give any tips on how to sing Let It Go because I barely can sing it sometimes. It's really hard. I can't wake up in the morning and just sing it."
