Well... I’m not white. And also you should go back to Hell, why you’re at it.

Translation: He’s an overpaid and overstuffed puppet who they know people in the Republican Party and White House will talk to.

Right and that’s the grim reality. If you only hang around people with a certain set of opinions, your own thoughts will likely start to change in turn. It’s also ethically murky to have so-called journalists take money from people that they in theory should be neutral to. But this is also part of a wider problem with…

Or y’know, just respect POC when they ask you not to color your fucking face. Simple.

It’s interesting how I never said that. Nobody is saying don’t dress up as Blade, or Jubilee or whatever. Just don’t paint your face to look like them. Isn’t it crazy how easy that is?

I for one am shocked that the paper of record that helped sell the Iraq War and keeps neo-cons like David Brooks and Brett Stephens employed might be sympathetic to someone who committed war crimes.

Yeah, Never Trumpers are the biggest teases of all. They don’t actually disagree with Trump, they just wish he’d stop saying the quiet parts out loud.

If he had principles, he wouldn’t still be a Republican.

It’s because their anointed candidate lost and they can’t stand someone threatening their system of meal tickets for party vendors.

Ok Tomato.

It sure is weird how Trump, Republicans, and people in the Splinter comments section have some axe to grind against Ilhan Omar. I wonder what that reason could be.

I do love how white people forget about black face when it’s convenient for them. Like say when they want to defend an attractive cosplayer. You all have the internet last I checked. Why don’t you actually learn something for a change and get some empathy?

Because as this smorgasbord of comments has so aptly demonstrated: some people just can’t grasp the concept of being told not to do shit. Even if it has an offensive history. “Don’t be so easily offended” my ass.

It is so goddamned simple. Are you white? Do you want to wear blackface? Then don’t. It is that simple. Skin color is not a costume. If people of color keep asking you to step off. Then step off.

This is so embarrassing...

There is a history with white people painting themselves to look like black people. And it’s all negative. That YOU chose to ignore it doesn’t mean it never happened. And even so, if people of color are asking you “Hey don’t do this”, then maybe just maybe take the hint?

No.

Speaking as someone who is of a non-white skin color, the intent is not appreciated. The major difference is that you can take off the paint if you’re white, I can’t. If people of color are asking you not to do something. Do. Not. Do. It.

It’s really that simple.

You really should have just stopped when you were already behind... like when you thought “Hey, I can create a justifiable reason for Blackface!”

Curse you infinite scroll.
