He makes them come out for a weekend cross fit session.

You’re allowed to voice your opinion just like others are allowed to voice how stupid your opinion is.

It’s not just a matter of unpaid internships. Congressional internships are very often based on your connections, who your daddy (and mommy) know and whose campaigns they donated to.

Yes exactly. There are a number of reasons of institutional reasons that most Capitol interns are predominately white and middle class. The unpaid (or minimally paid - I do think they actually do get a pittance for their work? Maybe they don’t, IDK) part is for sure one mechanism that can prohibit out people of less

I think unpaid internships are one of the main ways structural inequality is reinforced in the US right now, while allowing people to pretend the US is a meritocracy. They should be illegal.

I don’t get it . . . What’s strange about a bunch of white people at a white power rally?

But...but....but... look at all the women! They are even considering thinking of (white) women as nearly equal to men kind of, as long as the shut up about the female trouble and agree with us in every way! Come on! Diversity!

I’m torn between “at least they didn’t pull her front and center to be a token” and “they couldn’t have at least put her somewhere slightly visible??”

This picture is not a picture of America today. The problem I have with the current GOP is mostly they literally CANNOT see the issue. I can hear them—"WTF! Everybody is clean and dressed nice. Don't see a lot of ugly tattoos do you? You people just look for problems!" xxoocf

I didn’t realize he had that many children.

He needs to call 1-800-blackfolk quick to add some color to his photos.I’m available nights and weekends. Cost is $1000 plus travel expenses.

Maybe he has more black interns but they were scared of getting outed as Republicans and bailed?

This photo reminds me of John Oliver’s standup when he said whenever he's in a room with all white people he looks around and thinks whaaaat are we UP to? Can't be good.

YOU don’t have a problem, well then my god why are we even here.

It is particularly problematic because for even the most entry level jobs you have to have “Capitol Hill Experience”. Meaning, the only people who have jobs as staffers were largely the same people wealthy enough to intern. So yes, your entire Congress is staffed by well-to-do, mostly white, largely upper middle

A J Crew store in DC isn’t even this white

oh hello!

Sure, but the vast majority of Capitol Hill interns for the Democrats are white as well. This picture is more an indictment of the internship system than anything-you have to be financially able to work for nothing and live in DC (extremely expensive) for x-number of months. AKA have wealthy parents. That clears out

Looking at that picture, I get a little discouraged and sad for America, While most of America is waiting for the “old angry scared white people” that tend to be Fox News. NRA and GOP’s politically slanted warriors to die away, it would appear that he has found the next upcoming crop of conservative thinkers and doers.

The problem is that the vast majority of interns are white.
