I’m sure the original draft read “a 1,000 years of blackness,” but his chief of staff thought that was a bit too on the nose.

Whiteperbole? Often used by Exaggeracists.

In this edition of Racists Gonna Racist, we have yet another racist doing racist.

*SIGH*

Let me fix that for you

And God bless you for that. 

I’m hard at work trying to think of a good portmanteau for racist hyperbole. Racyperbole?

Thanks, but I refuse to use sarcasm tags.

My question is how? Mike Espy looks like Keegan Michael Key in 10 years. The reason Phil Bryant is speaking in such archaic terms is that this is the language of people down there and what they believe. If Black people had that much power don’t they think we’d have turned them all into frogs by now? The ignorance is…

Mississippi is known for currently having its shit together. I can see why they wouldn’t want to mess with the formula.

The original context for that quote has all but disappeared from the internet, and most people got it out of context or piecemeal. But it was reasonably clear from the context—and very clear from how she’s spoken about 9/11 in retrospect—that she was describing being in shock ( “I think I have some kind of emotional…

She was a vain and probably selfish person, but I don’t think that puts her in a league with J.D. Salinger or Ted Hughes, let alone Norman Mailer. The reaction to her “sins” has always been incredibly gendered.

I already do. My student loans confirm this.

Pottery Barn teen is amazing and you will not besmirch their good name in my presence.

I was ready to feel bad for her until the mink coat, then the manicurist and hair coloring at the hospital really took me to the next level of not giving a shit. She probably should have been watching where she was walking because that would have been a huge fucking hole to miss:

This doesn’t strike me as him being selfish, but rather beyond frustrated and hopeless. He WAS there for her. For 2 years he stood with her and tried to make the charges stick. He worked with the system and the system ignored his daughter. It went so far that the school basically accused her of making it up…

Based on the victims past behavior, we conclude his actions were consistent with him asking for it.

I mean...violence is not the answer, but I understand. I don’t condone it, but I get it.
