I know everyone’s all not-shocked, but it never ceases to amaze me just how insidious institutional racism is. Yeah, the data was indisputable. Yeah we had context clues.

I was thinking the same thing. For years black people talking about these situations were put off as paranoid and conspiracy minded. Too angry to be rational, too upset to think clearly, because this could NEVER happen. The government would NEVER do such a thing. It’s too far fetched. Too manical. But here you have…

The sad thing is that some (white) people can only hear this type of thing from another white person’s mouth. That is the only way it has validity.

The funny thing is with legalization there’s still rampant racism when it comes to starting a “green” business. In CO, for example, you cannot have a charge for drugs on your record (this includes people who were caught with joints) and since drug arrests target largely black and brown people, many (black)…

Almost like the drug war was invented to replace Jim Crow.

This is the one game I’m really tempted to invest in Oculus Rift for. Wish them success.

Seriously. Can’t believe they didn’t have this feature this whole time.

I mean, being an introvert doesn’t just STOP when you play video games. Sometimes I want to play Destiny or Bloodborne without having my buddy ask me all the time if I want to play with him, only for me to say no. And yeah, I shouldn’t have to…

Hell yes. Sometimes you just want to play some Destiny/FFXIV/whatever else without having to talk to anyone.

To use the analogy above, some trees are more immediately threatened than other. The rainforests grow in a particular part of the world and are being cut down at an alarming rate which will have an enormous impact on the global environment. Specifying that rainforests matter does not “de-prioritize” all other trees.…

When you speak in reference to a people who have been systematically misrepresented and ostracized for a hair over 400 years by the very country they took part in building (for about 200 years without pay, mind you), your different approach doesn’t necessarily make you racist, but it DOES make you an apologist for…

and that some of these idiots made it past the rigorous application and interview process for Facebook and became employed there is mind-boggling as well.

You know how an emergency room tends to treat the more serious cases first? Yes, you broke your arm, but this guy just got shot in the head and chest.

Because people who use “All Lives Matter” never say it because they feel the need to highlight any sort of injustice. They say it in response to “black lives matter” as a way silence those voices.

Do you also look at pink breast cancer ribbons and shout, “What about prostate cancer and lung cancer and skin cancer? ALL CANCERS MATTER!”

Because for a long time, there has been a perception that black lives matter less. It might be more accurate to say, “Black Lives Matter just as much as anyone else’s and we’re tired of people acting as if they don’t”, but that's kind of long.

Because it completely disregards the message of the statement which is saying that the status quo suggests that black lives do NOT matter and that other lives do. It’s not to say that “all lives matter” is a bad sentiment (clearly it is not)... but if you want to shine a spotlight on mistreatment... you need to…

How many times do people need to be told that the inherent implication behind black lives matter IS all lives matter?!?!

Oh, shit. This is the most I’ve ever liked Zuckerberg. That third paragraph is quite succinct and effective.

In following the thought processes here... Flying a Confederate flag isn’t racist. Denying an engaged lesbian couple a cake is defending your faith. A lion (you have no intention of eating for survival) is not a worthy living being, but a clump of cells is.

Don’t forget glenn’s magic plot armor when abraham and company sprayed bullets into his direction that killed ALL the walkers around him and didn’t even touch glenn.
