If you are truly interested in evolving on this I’d think about why your response to people of colour telling the truth about their experience of white people and whiteness gets your hackles up. I’d also think about why you feel empowered to declare their reactions unjust or over the top—would you think a man gets to…

I am okay being distrusted by POCs due to my whiteness. I am also okay recognizing the myriad ways I benefit from whiteness and white supremacy. And that I will fuck up and show myself to not be trustworthy at some point, because that’s how whiteness works.

Please go away. I’m actually completely ok with you staying away from the Root. We could do without white nonsense. If you honestly can’t understand why whining about how much the commentariat at a black culture and news site is mean to you as a white person, when a group of white supremacists have literally assaulted…

Okay so you’re saying that everyone on the Root is generalizing whites but you’re not generalizing folks on the Root by saying everyone is using a broad brush?

As opposed to Jezebel where the language is always clean and respectable, you never call people names, (like bottom-feeder you do know that that’s calling someone a name don’t you?) and never ever do things that make WoC feel unwelcome because your intersectionality is always on point?

What a gross way to characterize a broad commentariat and dismiss their views as invalid using statements that are demonstrably false, wow!

There is no real shortage of colleges / universities. It seems like that because everyone is panicking jr/sr year about getting in where they want. A lot of people drop out or transfer to another school with better fit after a year. People change majors A LOT. Some people take time off from college and travel or…

Don’t give up. Go wherever you can afford. A college education is very important. Apply for whatever scholarships you can. Speak to your guidance counselor(s)—that’s what they’re there for. You can do it!

Posted this upthread but here it is again, just for you:

Look at the Donald trump cosplayers

I’m a Southerner, born and bred, and these people are fucking appalling. The Confederates were not American soldiers and every last one of the leaders of the secessionist movement were traitors.

They’re tired of the bullshit, the political correctness, using our tax dollars to bring in people from Syria and Somalia, all this other stuff with homosexuality.

Can you imagine if this was BLM or Standing Rock literally pushing and trying to physically fight riot cops?

Can I chip in the story of the boat full of hateful racists that sailed to the Mediterranean under the Mongolian flag to interrupt charities from saving migrants from drowning - has broken down and is now being rescued by one of the boats used to rescue migrants?

Nuclear Winter isn’t, unfortunately, a binary condition, like Pregnancy or Life & Death. It’s a huge spectrum. A limited scale exchange could cause significant cooling regionally or hemispherically. The cooling could be a few degrees or many, and it could last one, ten, or a hundred years.

YAAASSSSSS I need more Machu Picchu, Sheila, and Britannica in my life. And Bash. And everyone else. I loved GLOW.

Even if those people did reference Remini when doing those things to the church that does not make her responsible. She is not calling for violence. There is a difference between speaking out against something and calling for violence.

Fascinating! I never thought of unexploded ordinances being a threat on German riverwalks
