It isn’t just about getting pulled over, it’s about what happens after getting pulled over. I’ve been stopped maybe ten times in my life and been let off with eight warnings. I’ve always been called “sir” and treated with respect. If that was the Black man’s experience, he would feel differently about the police.

“Wage slaves” weren’t “chattel slaves” just like the flu isn’t liver cancer.

“Look if we’re going to teach history and be honest about it, slavery was pretty fucking good for white people.”

First, if they’re posting stupid racist racist shit, they aren’t my friend. Second, if they’re saying stupid shit, the more ways they look stupid, the better, so why would I warn them?

Yeah, I remember, but that was when I’d slipped through a wormhole into a alternate reality.

“But this blog sees a lot of stories about white racists, by those leaning towards the other extreme because of the nature of the blog.”

I try to be the best of everything I can be, but being a PoC is beyond my reach. I’m just a white guy doing the best I can.

I showed it in my classroom during Black History Month because it is the only source that shows the effects of slavery, Jim Crow, red-lining, imprisoning Black men just to rent them out as slave labor on generations of a single family.

“We are not ravening, vengeful, murderously rageful beasts.”

“In today’s episode of White People are Addicted to Thinking They’re in Charge of Shit...”

When people say “We are all God’s children” I look at creatures like this and say “Really? Are you absolutely sure?”

The more these pieces of shit show their whole ass, the more they scare away the “independents” and the “moderates” they need to look the other way to protect their privilege.

Shit is real when it’s coming at you, less so when it only affects other people...just human nature. That’s why video of brutality shoved in white people’s faces is so important. Maybe cell phones will do what nothing else has been able to do.

1950s books, movies and TV. That stuff wasn’t meant to build a better society. (My first grade teacher read “Little Black Sambo” to my class in Alameda, California. That’s a stone’s throw from Oakland.)

Poor kid.

I was seventeen at the time, now I’m sixty-one. The demographics may have changed.

Simple. Every dollar the student-athletes get is a dollar the NCAA and colleges don’t get.

The NCAA and colleges are fine with money being made off of student-athletes, they’re just opposed to the students getting a cut.

Perhaps. I don’t recall her saying.
