Because they are hoping the ingrained colorism/white supremacy that lingers due to colonization will continue to bring those elites into the fold and thus contribute to the hegemony instead of disrupting it.

What’s funnier is, until Trump was elected, a bunch of white liberals thought the violent blatant sort of racism was all but dead and all they ever talked about was microaggressions, as though at least 50% of those white liberals weren’t macro racist themselves when they were in all-white company and wanted to impress…

Every generation fails the ones that come after it. Maybe these kids can fix some of our screw ups. They do give me hope.

I hate everything about current events except how the teens are handling it. The post-Millennial generation is probably going to be one of the greatest. Unlike us, they have been raised in and prepared for the financial crisis. And we might have built a culture of social media, but they are its natives—they’ve never…

I can’t tell you how much the actions of our nation’s teens these past few days have renewed my hope for the future. The kids are all right.

***Solidarity!***

Always, friend.

Hi Effie, I’m mostly a SNS (friendly) lurker or Sunday morning recapper, but I’ve been following your posts. I guessed from the Twitter posts a couple of weeks ago, but was unaware of the other part of your story. I just wanted to say that you are brave and brilliant and we are listening. Stay strong and stay safe…

Never heard of ya

I stopped expecting american Jezzies to care about latin america long ago. They prefer to be outraged over cultural appropriation of “latino culture” to appear w o k e than care about the lives of actual latin americans.

Could they be any more transparently venal?

I’m just gonna say I’m glad your post is the first one I see on Barf Bag today, and that’s all I’m gonna say. That and how much I appreciate your posts.

The FBI received a tip about Parkland, Florida shooter Nikolas Cruz’s “gun ownership, desire to kill people, erratic behavior, and disturbing social media posts, as well as the potential of him conducting a school shooting” in January but failed to investigate it.

Its main flaw, in my view, is that not enough people are on it, and the ones who are should get more money.

Yeah you could argue either way. I mean one thing with a true believer is that they will go down for the cause. An opportunist won’t, which can be a good thing or bad thing depending.

Why in the fuck does there need to be more than one accuser?!

I only put all those pieces together after I was well into my 20's, so I think we were better off without them in the long run.

LMFAO!!!
