“It says in the bible, Jesus himself never condemned slavery,” one man who clearly has no qualms with his own bigotry said. “In fact, he said slaves have an obligation to obey their master.”

Yes, we say we don’t put debtors in prison, but we also never truly let them out.

“If a poor white and black girl from Detroit can end up living in the Hamptons, who knows oh, the places YOU’LL go?”

“Obviously, changing the cash bail system is only a drop in the very large bucket of things that need to be done in the way of making America’s justice system less classist and racist, but the ruling in California is a good start.”

“I want to sincerely apologize for hurting people with my foolish and ignorant comments yesterday. After listening to what I said, and how it must have sounded to others, I was horrified. I 100% understand why people are justifiably angry. I made a mistake and it’s hard to look myself in the mirror, but I want to…

Black people may be angry (as they should be) but they’re not anything like the raging mix of fear, anger, stupidity, and sheep-like worship of hatemongering grifters that is the white nationalist movement.

For what it’s worth, when I hear the first reports about a mass shooting, I don’t stop to wonder if the murderer is white because I already know he is.

Why isn’t this a simple case embezzlement? Where are the cuffs?

My pay is a matter of public record, and everyone with the same education and years of service earns exactly the same, regardless of race, religion, or gender. We do the same job, we earn the same pay, we get the same benefits and we get the same retirement.

“If you don’t see being a decent person as desirable, then don’t try to be a decent person.”

Yes, but there needs to be a way back. If one or a hundred offensive behaviors can never be redeemed, why should they try? I’d prefer there be some reward for growing into a decent human being.

I hear you, but if there’s no possible redemption, no way to the light, we’ll have to wait through 20 more generations for progress. There has to be some reason for people to change. I’m not saying a few pretty words makes up for a history of hate, but I am saying future actions count, and we should see if they match…

I’m an old white man, but I’ve never felt anything but welcome at any of the BLM protests I’ve been to. 

“...Dukey McHate-these-knee-groes, has been pulled from the remainder of the tournament while the incident is being investigated.”

There in no end to the list of reasons to abolish monarchy. Is there even one reason to continue it?

Since watching “Finding Your Roots”, I think I understand why Black people might be searching for those connections I don’t seem to need. Being a white male, when I walk out my front door, I’m connected to America and its mythic history by default; I belong because everybody treats me like I belong. Black people…

Excellent plan.

Anyone who puts “Christian” before “School” thinks God already gave them the answers.

“...the Christian School District in O’Fallon, Mo...”

“If I may speak out of turn.”
