It is not technically an affirmative defense. He would have to plead (or be tried) under a guilty but insane theory. The end result being that he gets locked up in a mental health facility where he can’t bond with his white supremacist cell mates. On average persons convicted under a guilty but insane theory end up…

I believe there’s a definition of “a modern nation” being a mostly defined area where the “permitted” use of violence has been monopolized by one group.

It’s weird, I’ve never had nor ever seen a garbage disposal in real life. Is this mostly an american thing? Like wearing shoes in the house?

I love that their defence amounts to “Faux News is dangerous propaganda.”

Interesting read and not so surprising. Those who write them and those who select them are the ones who believe them since that’s what they were told. The loop repeats and each time the less pleasant parts are left out.

This also explains why these white teachers keep fucking up a lesson on slavery to kids of all ages. The suggested activity mirrors the same short-sighted ill-conceived “slave auction” and “act like you’re slaves” bullshit that we see at least 5 or 6 times during February. When I was teaching history and math (from…

Damn it, Michael — it only makes sense (/s) if time stopped when the education of these nimrods stopped. For them, maybe it did. I’m amazed at what I never considered before — that these people are the direct result of segregation. (I grew up in Detroit in the 60s and 70s, which was like reverse-segregation. I didn’t…

Thanks Michael, this some next level research explaining the seed of thought patterns of these pure evil people. Damn.

None of the people you mentioned, to your first point overrules the wide acceptance of Slavery in slave-holding states and in their own, which they called “leases”. Not even including their extensive economic investments in the trade.

Noting Barnum exploited other people doesn’t ignore that he was literally also a…

She must like spit in her fast food.

I hate to say it after such a loathsome outburst, but given her age, you have to ask if she’s always been like that (as we all know, such folk are out there) or something that compromises mental function has occurred. Aging is a highly individual thing in its effects, their causes, and the timing and rate of its…

“But this blog sees a lot of stories about white racists, by those leaning towards the other extreme because of the nature of the blog.”

Back in the mid 90's I was the only Black history teacher in a predominately white high school in Seattle Washington. I attended Morehouse college and was what some might call a bit militant. I taught my world history class as a critique of the book. For instance we would read what the book said about Christopher…

I can defend this!

“People know what it is,” Lemon replied.

Guarantee her “innocent little girl” will learn about race from her friends, or her friend’s parents or and uncle or ... 

“She is one of the most innocent little girls in the whole world, and she has friends, Black and white kids in her classroom, and she doesn’t see any difference,”

“What we’re concerned about is that there’s propaganda being taught, and we’re sending our kids there to be taught basic math, history, science,”

we’re sending our kids there to be taught basic math, history, science

I mean, they SHOULD, but I wish I could share your belief that most white people actually DO want their kids to learn that, though.
