Thank you so much for this. I’m a white Jew, and I am well aware that I benefit from white privilege here in the US. You could make a pretty good argument that I GET to be white in the first place precisely because the US is home to more visible minorities than Europe was in the pre-war era. But the Nazis sure as hell…

Besides shock at her racism, insanity, and drunkenness, I spent that entire video wondering how in the world this guy kept his cool like that. I always imagine myself having similar grace under pressure, but I never, ever do. He’s a better human than I am for sure.

Gah! There’s so much wrong and offensive here. But let’s stick to the big 3:

So two things to add to your point: 1. Rand Paul also has issues with and/or does not understand public accommodation, rather famously saying he thinks it’s wrong for private businesses to refuse service to black patrons, but he’s not sure if legally we can do anything about it. Really! And 2. Oh how I wish I could…

Listen, every religious/ethnic/racial group has a Candace Owens, so I fully sympathize on that account. They usually exist to exonerate bigots for their bigotry while attempting to avoid bigotry themselves by becoming “the right kind of” minority. But you know that. As for Tomi Lahren, she’s like performance art that…

It’s this, only not funny at all:

Hi! I’m white, and I LOVE this. I will never forget the first time a teacher referred to me as “Miss G” in class (it was first year college). I suddenly felt like a respected adult (or, you know, semi-adult), and it was empowering and made me work that much harder. In my own brief college teaching career, I did the…

Thank you. It’s a noble human instinct to not celebrate a fellow human’s death in all but the most extreme circumstances. But Rush has a history of bullying kids (mostly girls), lying, saying racist things, and engaging in conspiracy theories. Calling him a “provocateur” and the like white-washes who he really was and…

So fabulous on many levels! I would have looked like the woman in the bottom left corner of your screen capture the entire time. Three cheers for independent book sellers and 44!

Louisvillian here who was and remains horrified by the LMPD’s actions in the Breonna Taylor case. We have a long history of redlining, school and housing segregation, disparities in arrests and sentencing along color lines, etc. No argument. But Louisville Metro broke against McConnell 59.6% to 36.6%. Previous…

Louisvillian here. The shooter has been identified as 23-year-old Steven Lopez. He had been part of the protests and was a frequent visitor at Jefferson Square Park, but had also caused problems and been arrested and released twice in recent weeks. He probably has issues with substance abuse. So this story does not…

(Slow) runner here and this happens ALL THE DAMN time. I especially appreciate being told disapprovingly not to be upset about the large dog jumping on me or chasing me because “he’s harmless”. Sigh. I have to say that Christian’s strategy with the treats is brilliant and I might just adopt it.

Yup! I think “that man” tells you all you need to know about the “apology”.
