Well said

Honestly, this is the type of shit the beats me down even more than white supremacist being emboldened by a sentient burnt orange Crayola crayon.

Indeed. I’m already getting folks/trolls pointing out that a woman, who happened to be white, died even though I repeatedly pointed out that a woman died at the hands/vehicle of a terrorist in the damn post. And that this should be the focus. Not folks’ tiny feelings about being “good.” Clearly, I’m not talking about…

Agreed. Because Charlotte is liberal college town. I think police and school administration are the ones that showed where they stand. When they got the city to take down the monuments here in New Orleans, most of the Confederate defenders that came out here to sleep in front of the statue with a tent made of…

Danielle, get’s the <mic drop> award for the weekend.

HI, Danielle! Epic THoughts! By The Way-I just sent a copy of my new book WHite Teachers, BLack Students In The Spirit of Yes to AFrican AMerican Student Achievement to you. THe book is very much reflective of this post. I do hope to be featured on the Root! Again, Epic, Danielle, Epic!

Thank you! I’ve been trying to explain this to my “progressive” friends and family that it’s not always about you, you stupid fucks. Just listen and let people be fucking angry. I’m just going to link to this article as it is perfect.

A. Fucking. Men.

Hey, so who do I talk to about getting my Good Ally button? I donated to NAACP last month and have yet to receive it. The only way that people know is I have to tell each person, and it’s getting exhausting. /s

Thank you Danielle. My response would have been filled with profanity and name-calling.

tl;dr - The harm done to white feelings is not equal to the harm done to black bodies. Help or get out of the way.

LMNOP, welcome, dear. The racist trolls who are either in denial of their identity or just pretending to be are present a classic example of the necessities of Black spaces which are sacrosanct.

Darkchloe144, for everything you’ve said today to these bigots, thank you in every language ever.

As serious as a heart attack. Resilients are not here to give you absolution. Must we do everything for you?

We’ve called disqus a ho when she was acting up.

If your only complaint is that someone will mistake you for being a racist because you’re white, in comparison to, oh, I don’t know, the weight of systemic white supremacy on your shoulders the second you leave your house until the second you get back in it...

If it were only that simple.

And imagine we used to say that about disqus. I bet you miss that baby now. The grass is definitely not greener.

I went to a rally in New Orleans after Alton Sterling and it was less than 24hrs notice. All social media. The rally itself was emotional: people were crying and singing (not violent in any way shape or form). There were police everywhere and snipers lined up on the surrounding rooftops. WTF!
