Governor Rick Snyder says replacing the city’s pipes would cost at least $55 million

Rich white people have tricked poor white people in to blaming immigrants for their economic problems instead of the rich white people who don’t pay them enough.

My boyfriend and I walked past an old timey 50s diner with these neat old cars our front and he goes “man I kinda wish I grew up in the 50's. People were nicer and dressed better and music was better. I bet it would be fun” and I looked at him and raised my eyebrow a little and he goes “because I’m a straight white…

This is one of the strangest things I’ve seen in my hometown. Nobody’s very well off, and they bitch and moan about the democrats ruining their lives. But if they sat and thought about it for a minute, they’d realize that it’s more liberal policies that are going to help them. I’m not sure if it’s a pride thing. (“I’m…

White people who are struggling financially rightly don’t feel they’re getting a sweet deal. The problem is they’re blaming the wrong people. Struggling whites and struggling minorities are in the same boat. The thing is its people like Trump who wants ever more wealth and power who are the problem. They’re turning to…

If you can’t afford to put food in your fridge, you aren’t middle class and would likely benefit from.....WELFARE! Don’t blame the people who understand that and signed up for it, blame your asshole bosses who pay you “middle class” wages of $9 an hour.

The income inequality and just *how* destitute the poorest of americans are is terrifying. This population I’m sure has substandard educational resources, and when you feel like you don’t know what’s going on, you’re terrified of everyone and everything. They are so angry at having less (which is valid), but are…

It’s the same way I feel about religion. So long as it’s not hurting anybody, if it brings comfort to some people, maybe it has a place in the world.

If I follow the rules and you’re not providing the service i paid for I want the difference in price back *and* some kind of compensation for the inconvenience - free drinks or a free upgrade for next time or airmiles or something that tells me not only are you doing the minimum required to compensate me but you…

Bitch stole my marble.

“Where’s your fucking neck?”

“Not on my watch, whores!”

In Appalachia once for a service project, my group was painting trailers. We went to clean off the roof of one man’s living room - it was black with what we thought was grime. It was cockroaches. Wall to wall.

People truly do not comprehend how poor much of the rural South is. You’ll be driving along, pass a stand of rusted-out trailers, think, “Surely nobody lives in that,” and then you’ll get far enough to see the clothesline, or someone will open the front door.

This color looks great with her eyes. If it were me I’d make it my “signature color”. I feel like she scared herself when she first took a leap into color and retreated but now she’s venturing out again.

“Fuck ‘yo cake.”

To pretend that slaves were never happy or never had a good day or never smiled is to deny them a basic part of their humanity. That some were friendly with or even loved their masters is undeniable.

I still listen to this album at least once a month. Living a Boy’s Adventure Tale, Hunting High and Low (title song) and The Sun always Shines(on tv) would all wind up on a (long form) favorites list.

it’s a term used in german language (maybe in english too?) - it means that you are less critical towards people when they are foreigner. I have experienced that among so called left winged/left alternative people a lot “oh no, he/she is just from another culture - they just do it like that there” - like even if a guy…
