“Hey, we gave you guys some perfectly good blankets and a whole lot of dry infertile land! What else do you want from us?”

“Niceness” and propriety are silencing tools in the discourse of whiteness. It’s how poc and poor people are disciplined into silence and meekness when they are seen to be acting out or appear to be “hysterical.”

Saying that Native Americans take anything for granted seems like one of the most outrageously offensive things you could possibly let pass through your lips.

Oh, I get condescending comments from men (of all races) as a white woman dressed in respectable, work-appropriate clothing all the time for bothering to exist, so.

Lately, getting offended by manners and impropriety is their go-to defense - even when the constiuent/journalist/adversary isn’t actually being rude or discourteous.

This is outrageous. And yet, so typical. He would NEVER say that to a white man. I don’t think he would say it to me, a respectable-looking white woman. And she asked a legitimate question. GOD WHAT A TOOL.

1) Idiocracy at its finest. The whole freaking lot of them.

The reports that for weeks he’s been screaming at TVs that talk about the russia investigation and that he’s isolating himself more and getting more furious that people keep seeing the smoke from the investigation are FASCINATING.

What does it say about how monumentally fucked everything involved with the way Trump and his people are running the White House that Comey thought it could have been a JOKE. A JOKE, ON NATIONAL TV.

Comey thought it was a practical joke at first, then when he found out it wasn’t, stayed to shake the hands of the employees he had been speaking to. Not a fan of Comey, but contrast the professionalism...

3. It’s especially fucked up because their official line now is that this was something that Trump was considering since at least election night and they have been planning this for at least a week. That means, if they are to be trusted (they’re not), it was their intent for him to find out in that superbly shitty

God, how FUCKING STUPID IS HE?

God, how FUCKING STUPID IS HE? Not only did he think firing Comey would successfully cover his ass, he thought people would be fucking happy about it. Seriously if I have to read about how anyone can be President now—this does nothing except prove that only people with adequate capabilities and experience should be

Oh no, not apparently, this motherfucker went straight to the sunken place, tried to threaten the students and got dragged.

Your degrees will be mailed to you. Choose which way you want to go.

My college, Ripon College, hosted MICHAEL FUCKING FLYNN last fall. Let me repeat that:

I can’t help but wonder how many donations the school has lost from existing alumni already. There was an alumni petition not to have her speak...

Haha, I love that threat. Who cares if your degree is mailed? As long as you still get one, it’s more important to be on the right side of history.

Who is responsible for inviting this particular fucking idiot to give a commencement speech at an HBCU???

Great way to kill post-graduation donations from an entire class!
