This is an example of the power inherent to covert symbols of hatred- since the symbol has the potential to stand for “other things” the user has an excuse to absolve themselves of the accountability associated with using it.

Yeah, just because someone has had bad things done to them doesn’t make them incapable of also doing bad things. I really don’t like how she is handling this either.

I don’t know....those text messages sent to Rain Dove where she admitted she had sex with him. The fact that she tried to justify it because she was in a relationship at 17 with a 33 year old. The fact that she’s now pinning the payout on the dead guy who can’t really defend himself. The fact that she’s using the same…

“get mad, if a police officer kills one of us, and we don’t say anything when 100 of us are killed by us that something is wrong with that”

Exactly. No work is shameful unless you are harming or taking advantage of other people. I hate the inclination to treat less “prestigious” jobs as somehow shameful. I think part of the problem is that we too often equate who we are as people to our jobs here in the US (how often do people introduce themselves as…

HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE!

Everyone at FuckedNews makes their bank by blowing Valdimir Putin, but this guy’s the one who should be ashamed?

First off, work is work, and the people who do an honest job should be treated with dignity and respect, on the clock and off.

If we lie to her and tell her ‘Israel’ is just a euphemism for Mars, do you think she’d buy it and go there instead?

Hazel, honey, help an old woman out and next time include a little note to let us know which one’s which up there? Like say “Machine Gun Kelly (left)“ etc...? Because I tried Googling them and I still can’t tell them apart. :(

Tangential: I walk 6 blocks once a month to pay my mortgage in person because at the downtown branch, there is a teller who looks like Michael B. Jordan’s younger, slimmer cousin. He has this incredible smile and always some very nice chit-chat that is perfectly timed to the length of our interaction. One time, he…

OK look, I like Black Panther and all, but I think the actual Chadwick Boseman is even dreamier than the fictional T’Challah.

Thank you. “Popular Film” is just a way for the Academy to keep from even having to consider Black Panther for the “real” awards. The Academy is trying to create a ghetto for popular films, it’s no accident that this award came up the year the most popular film was overwhelmingly black.

Dear white people,

Griffin forgot:

“Me at happy hour pretending to listen to my friends but really thinking about dick.”

I say it easily. I rejoice in the death of any domestic abuser.

Yes, I should clarify that being fine is a relative thing. Since I was expecting news of her being found dead somewhere, hearing she’s with family instead cheered me up but she'll certainly need a lot of help.

I don’t know about “fine”. She’s been through unimaginable trauma. She’s out of immediate danger, but she’ll probably need a lot of help, both from family & friends and professionals before she’s fine

I don’t say this easily, but if the reporting is true, thank god he’s dead.
