I'll just copy and paste what I wrote on Gawker:

We try Kara, God knows we blue Texans try - but damn gerrymandering makes it nearly impossible, even if we have the numbers.

it's pretty great that they're self - iding though. Like thanks for telling us you would murder black people if you get the chance. Note to self: steeeeeer clear.

I am starting the cultural competency consulting firm where all news stations, magazines, and public figures can run their racist tweets by me and I can let them know it's a bad idea. I will also wear large trench coats like Olivia Pope while doing it. How much should I charge?

These parents: Not very smart. I was two or three when my dad decided to shave his also very large beard off. Knowing my brain wasn't fully formed and that I'd never seen him without a beard, my parents figured I might be confused or traumatized by the experience. So Dad sat me down on the sink while he shaved it off…

Hey, asshole, There. Is. No. Law. You do NOT have to show ID in California.

I'm appalled at the "NO RECORD of the incident" as far as the police goes. So if they hadn't taken photos and posted on Facebook, it would be just their words against the police. I feel like the police is actually forcing us to become a less private society. All recorded all the time so that we can defend ourselves.

Because you're always on our lawns! With your smarty phones and your eye pads and your fancy coffee drinks we can't pronounce. Damn whippersnappers. My walker doesn't have blue tooth!

"if it wasn't for the USA you'd still be living in a third world country, show some respect."

That's some racist bullshit there. It's completely uncalled for. It's also pathetic when someone demands respect while giving absolutely none.

We can cheer for rapists, dog killers, and car thieves, but a guy that follows…

The big thing for me is where on earth were the female characters? The original arc is all about Kitty, but they instead decide to make up a random reason she can't go back in time?

It was a really fun watch—they never did explain how Xavier is back after his body was destroyed in X3, though—and I absolutely adored…

The Quicksilver escape sequence is a thing of beauty. When the bumbling foursome is trapped by Pentagon security and the only way out seems to be Magneto doing creative things with cutlery, Quicksilver slips on his headphones and the entire movie turns into magic for a whole minute. Then we never see Quicksilver again…

Cue influx of people who don't understand how racism and institutional power works in 3, 2, 1....

Liking Yourself the Way You Are

There is no such thing as racism towards white people.

The number of people commenting that don't understand why watermelon cups at an MLK themed party is racist...

every female character in comics is "supposed to be an unbelievably beautiful, smoking hot ____ babe." except like, Gertrude in runaways. I think we can stop using SHE SHOULD BE HOTTER as a criticism.
