My understanding is when they “flipped the switch”, the new water provider improperly treated that water which caused the old pipes to corrode. Now that the pipes are corroded, they can’t be un-corroded and they will still leach lead whether the water going through them is properly treated or not. The fix is to…

Yes they will migrate from the Root briefly to share their opinions here and then go back.

This isn’t the first time we’ve had white supremacists in the white house. Black folks can get through this the same way we always have. And this may (almost certainly) be my darker side talking here, but i hope that whites feel a fraction of what blacks and other minorities have and will have to go through and learn…

“If you go home with someone and they don’t own any books, don’t fuck them”

I’m too busy caring about possibly dying in a nuclear war to wring my hands over movie studios not making as many millions as they could be.

Or, to put it in terms these top-hatted, monocled capitalists will understand: their own failure to adjust to the conditions of the market is what has created alternative markets where their profits are lost or diverted.

This and nice fashion comparison. Most of the folks buying knockoffs are doing so because the can’t afford the real thing. Louis Vuitton wasn’t getting that money anyway.

This. I said it yesterday, but when even white, liberal allies think that racism is an opinion (albeit a repugnant one) as opposed to systematic oppression, we’re not going to get anywhere. Racism, xenophbia, and sexism aren’t some opinion, or instance, or something you accidentially trip over in the hallway.

Trump voters feel “left behind” because it’s starting to dawn on them that what they thought made them special (i.e. “At least I’m not black.”) doesn’t mean shit anymore.

LOL the fact that the descendants of SLAVES haven’t set every piece of this country on fire for not being treated like human beings is the BIGGEST proof that forgiveness and moving on happened on some level. and the 60s and affirmative action? yea that fixed EVERYTHING and when have the oppressed pretended it’s…

My white friends/acquaintances tried to convince me that as a Latinx woman, I just need to reach out to right wing conservatvives and humanize myself.

“There are so many things I am that is wrong to them.”

The deep irony that the “Personal Responsibility” coalition blames others for their own racism, sexism, etc... and believes “those liberals” are the cause of all of their problems is of course completely lost. *NoSelfAwarenessWhatsoever*

LBJ was a racist asshole (more so than Trump based on the time period) too but MLK didn’t refuse to meet with him

“they support LGBT rights and POC but voted for Trump because they felt he was better for them economically.”

Nearly half of their basis for their opinions is based on utter BS. How do you engage with someone that believes in a completely different reality and when confronted information that proves they’re wrong, they simply blame it for being biased/liberal and further entrench.

Yep. Let Van Jones coddle the racists if he wants, but I don’t have time for that.

I live around people who voted for Trump and I know many of them will not want to listen to me. I’m an American Indian woman with a Hispanic last name. I’m also well educated and a feminist. There are so many things I am that is wrong to them.

Trump supporters have been interviewed about why they were voting for him.

America spends most of it’s time eating the ass of Trump voters and have for some time. Just look at our election cycle, it begins in Iowa and New Hampshire (the Iowa of the NE)... White flyover state voters have a higher median income than “liberal enclave voters” and nearly every cable channel is devoted to the…
