Yeah, not that I should need to, but its worth reiterating that neither Eric Garner nor Mike Brown had actually been convicted of breaking the law when they were killed.

Or walk with your hands in your pockets, or have a toy gun, or....

I guess there wasn't enough room to write, "Breathe Easy- Don't Break the Law, Or Walk Down The Street, Or Drive a Car, Or Ask Questions, or Mind Your Own Business, or Be Black."

Presumably the reverse of the shirt reads "Or else we'll feel entitled to kill you..."

This right here. This is the ticket. Be good without being Good.

I agree. It's not that you shouldn't discuss the issue and its impact. There is a difference between talking about the world we live in and how unspeakably awful it can be and sharing how good you are at eviscerating trolls and how fast you block people who are racist on facebook.

ALL SARCASM ASIDE I WOULD LIKE A DOUBLE FUDGE PLS

Was coming here to say this, but you said it better. I don't want to be lumped in with the racists — ESPECIALLY my family omg — and I don't know how to demonstrate that I am not. I don't want to be a White Savior, but I also don't want to pretend that I don't know how hard black Americans have it. I know I have…

Thanks for this. That was my sense of it, too. I think it's a question of how white people who want to be anti-racist should talk about race, not a question of whether they should talk about it. We shouldn't speak for PoC, we shouldn't make it about ourselves, and we shouldn't expect praise for merely not being an…

This concept is important.

I'm white, so definitely not the person to tell you what is most helpful to do as an ally in these circumstances.

As a white person myself (who tries my best to resist the racism embedded in our society), I think the idea is not that you shouldn't delete trolls or be outraged. It's that you shouldn't congratulate yourself for it. So many white people make it about themselves by insisting that they "get it" or that they're "one of…

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

One time I got invited to hangout backstage during a taping of Deal or No Deal. Howie Mandel was super nice but kind of shy. The models who held the briefcases were the absolute nicest, sweetest people and came and hung out with everyone in the audience. Then we went out to a giant, ridiculous drunken dinner in a…

Not gonna lie, I love being told I'm wrong by anyone as funny as you.

I would like you add, you are no-slouch yourself, Adultosaur. I have often read a great comment and was not surprised to notice your name attached to it.

trout is a FUCKING treasure and i love him and also i love telling him he's wrong.

I am at the LINQ right now and just witnessed the weirdest fucking winter wonderland concert that involved Santa, a stripper pole and dancing 17th? Century "carolers."

You know what says skeevy? That I stayed there for FREE and thought I paid too much. It's nasty.

the ceremony would be held at The Quad in Las Vegas
