This always got me. It is Anglicization on the Spanish language in a non-intuitive manner for both languages.

Exactly.

The same way you can insist an entire people refer to themselves as “Latinx”, without consulting them, even though their language has existing grammar rules that account for mixed gender/unknown gender groups. 

The concept that only white people can be racist has been taught in racial studies classes-I remember being instructed that way in the late 90's early 2000's at my very white university. We were taught that non-white people could called prejudiced but not racist becomes racism is part of pro-white power structure. It…

LOL.

Mesh sponge: the reason I don’t have to shave my arms and legs when I get cement and flooring glue on them. Got to replace them monthly because of bacteria though.

Getting shot should not be an expected consequence for getting into an altercation.

Thanks, Dr. Cosby

Frankly I’m sick of people reducing pain to checks in the mail. Kill some black people through overpolicing? Check in the mail. Destroy the water supply because you want to be cheap? Check in the mail (maybe - fucking Flint). 400 years of bullshit that started with being treated like cattle and culminates in their…

I think my problem with “reparations” is twofold: one, it paints with too broad a brush (wypipo are evil and keep black people down, so therefore must pay) and two, it’s far too narrow (what about indigenous peoples, peoples of Hispanic descent, African-Americans who are descendants of immigrants post-1964, etc).

And…

Honestly, I don’t want a check. I want systems in place so that my grandkids have a fair shot at this. Think of it like this - do you want a one time “spot bonus” at your job that will be gone before the next pay cycle or do you want the opportunity for advancement with real benefits and a pay increase?

Yes, I think the word “liable” here is the problem. If my dad killed your dad, I don’t legally or morally owe you anything for the impact it would have on your family in terms of emotional damage, lost wages, etc. It has nothing to do with my choices.

Thank you for coming out and saying this. Of course we should want to help anyone get out of bad situations as many people in this country are in right now, but why do so many think that handing out free money will ever accomplish that?

Reparations Sorta seems like a..Handout to me. Yes, I’m Black and I..Said it !@!!!! Some of you would take the money and buy unecessary Sh** like clothes,jewelry, DOPE (Yep I said this too!) 40 ounces (alcohol), Reparations would only widen the gap of racism in this country.Yes racism and slavery was wrong. Now Get…

Listen, the two weeks that I endured watching my cousin from NC get married at our ancestral home (with the family matriarch’s birthday celebration the day before) were an event that I’m still not sure we’ve properly recovered from. And that was mostly just getting dressed up, eating, drinking and dancing. With…

Man, I got Kinja’ed harder than Harriot reaches for stories.

Millions of good people are broke or have been broke. It’s no reflection on them, never was. It’s part of life in this country. Morally broke is the problem. That hurts everyone. These fucks are the worst people on Earth. Maybe Trump will finally teach Americans to eat the wealthy. God I hope so.

Fox News’ core demographic is retired white people with moderate to high amount of assets and less than college educations.

I’ll take financially broke over morally bankrupt every single fucking time until the heat death of the universe.

You know why conservatives and Republicans can never be comedians, because they always punch down and can't take a joke. Just pure garbage.
