Can confirm. I know a woman who still says ignorant stuff like,”They hate us for our freedom..”, with no irony.
I’m glad you mentioned “generational ignorance” because often White parents themselves know nothing of their own history beyond, “White people did some bad things.” And so they are unwilling to examine the history of this country, in any detail, because it makes them feel bad. This can produce what I call emotional…
Yes, this!!!!
This is exactly what happened to Jessica Williams on that actress roundtable, where Salma Hayek talked down to her when she tried to talk about her lived experience as a Black woman, which just totally shut Jessica down. J knew she wouldn’t be allowed to talk about her life in that space, with these four, so-called,…
In the first standup I ever saw with Hart, he made jokes about being gay.
I was inclined to agree with Whoopi at first, but Meghan changed my mind by saying our names might end up on a list next!
B*sh, our names are already on deportation lists, in concentration camps, etc. I think their concern is a little self serving. They just don’t want the friends, that they’re willing to give a pass…

Ne’eh mind, then, I’ll skip it.I liked his old stuff, but like a lot of comedians who are getting old now, he’s become a lot less funny then when he had the fire of youth, and in this day and age, I’m in absolutely no mood at all to listen to someone kicking the most vulnerable members of society, just for shits and…
Well, they can certainly have my thoughts, and I support their right to leave if they don’t like it here.
No really. It sounds like an SNL spoof of a racist. Its the kind of thing you laugh at on a Saturday night.
I was not greatly impressed with this movie when it was first released, but dammit if I haven’t developed a fondness for it over the years. Why? Because other people just love it so much. I rewatched it a few months, and yes, i did thoroughly enjoy it, and now I’m actually looking forward to a sequel.
Either that, or she’ll call the police to complain about them having a lot of people in their yard!
Exactly! Good for you!
I believe you just made a more compelling argument for having Thanos as President!
On the other hand you are absolutely right. Matthews cannot seem to shut his mouth at all.
Actually, MSNBC has been one of the few mainstream news stations I can stomach watching, as they are very spot on in their punditry, as a general rule. In the past few days they have been completely unapologetic in calling things out as they are.
So this person (who I refuse to address) is going to come into the comments section of this article, and essentially attempt to “gaslight” us about what we are directly looking at, with our very own eyeballs.
Yup! I do know some white people who I know call me their friend because I smile, and say hello to them in the elevator at work.
White men? Never!
