Hi Yesha,

My second thought was wondering why is DeVos staff so dumb to allow her to go speak at an HBCU graduation. What?

Yeah, but eventually I’ll be able calm down.

Right, this is all about winning votes.

I’d like to agree with you that she got what she deserves, but she appears to have made it out of the building as a billionaire with the power to ruin a generation of schoolchildren.

I know most of her ideas about how to properly educate American children are really dumb, but jesus christ, how fucking stupid does she have to be to think that this was going to go well for her?

How on Earth did she get invited to be the commencement speaker at a university, much less an HBCU campus? This is on that school’s administration.

Oh shut the fuck up.

She already apologized like an adult human with common sense. Why are you acting like a moron child when it doesn’t have anything to with you and it’s done?

And you clearly are not a white ally so you really have no stack in dismantling white supremacy and you shouldn’t be here commenting.

Given the sheer apathy and hatred towards Dr. King, the Civil Rights Movement (or any movement towards Black liberation) and the plight of people of color in America shown throughout history by the vast majority of white people—nah, we’re not playing to your white fragility. If an “ally” thinks their feelings matter…

TL;DR: NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE.

Because they look back fondly on owning humans and treason.

Nope. Grew up Irish Catholic. There’s no way that is an Irish anything. We don’t forget the things that make us sad. We stew over that shit until our birthday and end up in a fistfight in the yard with Dad.

His kids are going to be just fine. If you have kids it’s your kids I’m concerned about. He should be proud. You are more concerned about the white kids feelings than the safety of the black boy. That’s common in he good ole usa. I bet you think it was selfish of Mrs. Tills to fight for justice for her son. After all,…

White parents aren’t going to teach their kids the subtle meaning of things like that. Even well-meaning ones won’t, because the thought won’t occur to them. The only reason I (white person) learned that certain seemingly innocuous things I said and did could be interpreted as a threat by my black classmates was that…

I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that no matter how much I detest this woman, I haven’t lied and gotten her lynched by an angry mob, and that fact alone guarantees that I’m not “exactly equal” to her lying-ass hateful self.

okay....you can go peddle your religious and/or hippie nonsense somewhere else whitey

“YOU ARE EXACTLY EQUAL TO THAT UNREPENTANT WHITE MANIFESTATION OF HATRED”

Oh really?

Not that it matters much, but I bet your son’s white buddies won’t soon forget the lesson that they live in an entirely different world than he does.
