As a 10 year Marine Corps vet who served in Iraq and Okinawa, I can say, with all honesty, that the Marine Corps, by and large, is racist as shit.
Yeah it’s not just the wealthy, white guys who do this shit...
Um, yes he/she does....
So we can conclude that white men aren’t the tough as nails Alpha dogs they’ve been pretending to be all these years huh? Gee who knew? All of us. We’ve seen how Trump reacts to any person of color that steps to his fat ass so why is this a surprise. The NFL owners all acted like mark ass pussies when their players…
She’s a horrible person first who is a fucking white supremacist, fuck trying to hide political leanings when you view your students of color like they aren’t even people.
Educators, walk that damn fine line and stop preaching your personal shit. We are facilitators no indoctrinators.
Well - she already doubled down, and even though according to the HuffPo report the school system has said they plan to dismiss her, I haven’t seen anything yet actually verifying that they’ve done it. Which really is no more than more undercover complicity if they just shrug and look the other way. Which means…
So who wants to bet she comes out and says she’s not a racist and lies about getting death threats and how things have been so horrible for her since this news broke?
I find myself continually amazed by this new passive-aggressive “we didn’t even watch it” iteration of the regular old racism. They’re behaving like the Trumps behave, sitting in the corner pouting like eight-year-olds complaining that they’re being “forced” to consider an alternative to always centering themselves…
Anybody who worked for Jesse Helms (may he rot in hell) is not qualified to run a newspaper route much less anything to do with the well being of PoC in this country. But that’s what happens when white people vote their whiteness.
Oh.
That first scenario described my experiences in corporate America. I have seen white people willing to do shit wrong and not take any advice from people of color just to say that they didn’t have to rely on their advice. I mean it’s as if they are so determined to fail on their own accord rather than accept help or…
And by looking at the White ppl in the comment section of that dailyVox article, it’s safe to say that White people will always and forever wish to remain ignorant about their own shortcomings. Self-reflection is a bitch.
I got banned over on Jezebel. I have no idea why. But I am currently disinclined to bother with the proposed JezeRoot series.
Here’s a funny (sad?) thought: In about 30 years, white people will be pulling out ‘08 presidential campaign Obama quotes, talkin about hope and yes we can and shit, and all I will be able to do is spontaneously combust
White people think Obama ruined race relations because white people think black people speaking up about injustice is BAD for race relations. They think race relations are about silence.
“Not only did I not finish reading your article, but I’m gonna take time out of my day to contact you and write some bullshit that could be easily explained if I read some books... or even the article I didn’t read.”
They think it’s a sick burn for some reason. Like, I hate you so much I don’t even bother to read your article! But I DO take the trouble to comment/email/whatever, so it ends up being a great self-own.
