I tweeted this to Trump today. https://www.myrtlebeachsc.com/fbi-arrests-man-planning-shoot-synagu/ but you know Bowling Greene. Also, this is the exact time when Jewish, African-American, Muslim, Asian and all other POC’s. Need to make a united front and hold strong via economical and social connectivity. Let’s not…

I agree with a lot of what you say but I find it too stringent. BLM changed direction and became just another hate group.

I tend to agree. There is clearly a disparity between population and deaths - 14% of the population and 26% of deaths is a disparity that is probably statistically real. So why did it sie? I’d suggest not because people don’t care, but because, in the end, people got distracted and tired of the negative press. How…

They also didn’t have any leadership structure - that makes denouncing the violence and looting that took place during some of their events (not by their people) that much more difficult. Lack of leadership also hurts the group’s sustainability.

#BLM was its own worst enemy. From day one, it didn’t even have a clear list of ‘demands’ to help ease huge tension between its members and the wider American world. In the end: people saw through it for what it was: a collection of spoiled, foul-mouthed trouble-makers seeking to to convince the world that young black…

That’s what struck me as well: each in their own way is participating in a critical component of this movement.

Sorry. I’m on team Underwood and team Lopez on this one. You insert yourself in my shit you best be prepared for the blowback. And her notion that she was offended by the notion “that black and Latinx people are discouraged from marrying each other.” is bullshit. It does go on. I have personally heard of it myself out…

So, there’s actually a bunch of complicated sub-questions to your questions... here’s my best take. First, you made the claim ‘whites have an issue with the word privilege’ and I was responding to that. Now, you seem to have two separate problems: that the term white occludes other racial groups within it (ex. middle…

Nope. I’m white. I don’t have a problem with the word privilege or when the modifier ‘white’ is added to it. Please don’t speak on behalf of our entire race, especially if you’re going to trot out tired arguments. I’m white, I’m committed to fighting against racism, and I know white privilege exists because I am…

If I had paid good money to see George Lopez and some jerk (regardless of race, regardless of gender) was standing up in front of me I’d be pissed.

Bullshit.

Just imagine if people posted stuff like #bankwhite and the like. Or if Chase decided to partner with the Klan. No difference in any of this. Why does EVERYTHING revolve around race?

Interestingly, the times I have been accused of “acting white” it has been by black folk. It has usually been hurled at me as a barb designed to hurt me in some way. I have never been accused of acting white by white folk or other people of color.

See this is EXACTLY what Kotaku is good for and should do more often. Actually call out GAMING related companies and businesses that conduct shady business practices at the expense of their employees and gamers alike.

People who have lived in the US for years, who have studied & worked here and have families, have been denied re-entry into the country. People with proper green cards have been denied re-entry. Families in places like Yemen, who have lost their homes to US-backed Saudi bombing, are denied entry. People who risked…

I know this is not entertainment news but the three Syrian families our mosque sponsored will not be coming to America as a result of the ban. They sold all their belongings, went through two years of grueling interviews and background checks and were at the airport in Istanbul Ataturk airport with their luggage and…

I have to agree somewhat with the officer though when he stated that it was more plausible he was grabbed by the neck as opposed to “choked” since she didn’t even call for medical attention, and the simple fact that by default she immediately went into defend mode for her son says alot. People that have little if any…

While it is true that it is very common for the President to temporarily shut things down during the transition there are some unusual aspects of this.

My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…
