If you have a public service job, consider not rolling it over until you are more settled in your career. I went from a public sector job, to private, and back to public. I rolled over my pension contribution into a 401(k) because that seemed like the logical choice. When I returned to the public sector I “lost” my…

As per usually they think it’s worse to be called racist than to actually be racist.

On today’s episode of “A hit dog hollers...”

The issue is that since this happened in Mexico the FBI doesn’t have enough evidence to charge anyone under federal law. It’s up to Mexican government to prosecute.

The FBI confirming that no federal criminal offense occurred is not a statement that no crime occurred. There’s no evidence of a conspiracy so far involving interstate travel or a nexus to the U.S. It didn’t occur on U.S. property. It’s basically a murder subject to Mexico’s criminal jurisdiction. Mexico needs to…

I hate fascism. That’s why I have a signed copy of Mein Kampf.

Picking the sole Black student to be the slave was a stupid mistake, but does that mean the teacher had evil intent....

I don’t really know if Racist/Republicans are stupid or just liars. I suspect it’s a mixture of the two. I do know that they are all evil.

Angel Reece is under no obligation to accept any apologies or behave the way people think that she should. It is not a black woman’s job to conduct herself the way mainstream America thinks that she should.

Having been subjected to classroom caucasity on every level all through school, I am appalled that teachers are allowed to continue this fuckery, largely with impunity. If they merely learn and teach factual information, leave off their ‘Gone With the Wind” fantasies and quell their animosity towards nonwhite peoples…

I can not fathom how anyone with any brain cells could think this was a good idea. Hell, it was already out of line putting on a “skit”. And that shit about dragging her to market - my poor brain just pictured this fat ass white woman snatching this little girl by her hair and pulling her around the classroom taking…

Why is it every time slavery comes up, some melanin-deficient neanderthal will want to 1) deny it or 2) reenact it?

As a history teacher I understand the impetus to want to “shock the system” and make history more engaging because many students forget it....FAST or don’t bother to learn it in the first place. Then I get to the part about Confederate Flag and go....no, no pure impulse here. Just pure racist chicanery.

That’s the whole point of apologies, that the person you are apologizing to gets to decide whether you’ve earned their forgiveness. You can’t just say “I sowwy :(“ and demand the wronged party forgive and forget.

Except Jill was Second Lady for eight years. She’s not a random English composition professor. She knew the drill on who gets to go to the White House.

It’s this type of nonsense that always makes me wonder how people can possibly paint Biden and 99% of Democrats as Left wing communists. Racism, ignorance, and class privilege run deep in the Democratic party. And it’s a goddamn shame that this is the best we can do because the other side is batshit crazy.

“...obviously meant well but totally stepped in it...” the Biden way...

I saw a really good analysis of this yesterday and basically it came down to that Jill Biden obviously meant well but totally stepped in it and came off as a little racist, and rightfully apologized. Folks, she’s a community college professor - “everyone wins” is like her entire career, she’s not a sports person. If…

Children of Chinese execs, who have stolen their company’s retirement funds and fled to Canada and the US are top Ivy League candidate$$$$$. Where else do you funnel all that dirty money except through your kid’s high cost tuition and insurance of course!
