Amen. Enkidu, please stop. You’ve been duped by a troll, and you’re allowing yourself to be used over and over again.

From the YouTube comments:

Please don’t feed it.

Seriously. We may choose to hold our own to higher standards, but there’s no role for Rubio in that. His party’s problems are way bigger than ours.

Trump will lose, and he’ll leave (under duress), but he’ll go out claiming that the election was stolen — which will allow him to maintain the adulation of his base.

Talk about putting pressure on your kid to succeed.

Don’t feed the trolls by replying — and if they reply to you, just use Kinja’s “dismiss” feature.

Getting shot in the foot is no joke. It could be career ending for a dancer, smashing through bone and obliterating muscles and nerves. It could mean pain that never goes away, cursing you for years, if not the rest of your life.

Indomitable dignity is attractive. A piercing intellect is attractive. A persistent, creative spirit that can craft a unique world so compelling that it draws you in and lets you lose yourself is attractive. Athleticism is attractive. Lots of traits are attractive.

Two books! 😉

But aren’t white people today comfortable with a system of harsh punishments for Black defendants and lenience for white defendants? Where the laws are applied unequally?

The “justice” system should go after Amy Cooper with the same zeal that it does for Black defendants: she should be tried, convicted, and punished unduly harshly.

Per the CDC, the suicide rate for Black US residents is much lower than the national average.

I can believe that they didn’t think about the implications at first, but I’m sure they’ve known about it for a long, long time.

Getting a second chance when others would not is the epitome of privilege.

It’s clever, but it’s humor that punches down. The protesters are fighting from weakness and have only moral force on their side, while the police represent the force of the state with its monopoly on violence.

Before this pandemic, “Caucasian Acoustic Cruising” was one of my favorite pastimes.

Can’t live in fear forever!

Would you kill your grandma for your country music?
