I’m going to go on Craigslist and post a listing for Denzel Washington’s Equalizer.

It’s sad but I was someplace talking about this police stuff. Then a police officer told us that it was late one night about 2 or 3 in the morning and she got stopped. They started giving her attitude about where she was going and asked for her ID. She showed them her badge and things calmed down. From her own mouth “…

If their inflection goes up during the “SO WELL” when saying you speak so well , that’s like a misdemeanor assault right there.

8. When people leave a comment on a blog or article or status just to express how much they don’t care about the topic on which they’re leaving a comment.

I wish the fuck I would.

I love all of these, really, but #7 is the one that killed me. Between this article and the one about Beckies, I’ve been killed twice today by The Root.

The absolute worst. They love 7am meetings at my job.

No one calls the cops on weird-acting white people enough.

It’s why serial killers and mass shooters always get the “well he SEEMED like a nice guy!”

It truly was just a bowl of cottage cheese contemplating life lakeside in The Hamptons.

She quickly cut back that I shouldn’t respond to hate w/ hate

Ugh, “hate is hate” is my least favorite phrase this week.

Most white people who aren’t assholes are fairly useless because they grew up never having to deal with confrontation. They watched their mothers greet the neighbor with air kisses and smiles even though she hated her guts. They spend their lives living in a polite bubble where they never air their true feelings for…

Case in point: I’m in the office break room decompressing while CNN drones on in the background. A co-worker comes in and we talk a bit about the hurricane and whatnot - we both have family in the Houston area. CNN cuts to Trump telling the Gov. of TX something to the effect of “After this is all said and done, we…
