And no one needs to see Betsy DeVos without clothing, she’s caused enough suffering already.

I was hoping for a mob.

I know right? I don’t understand the “physically blocked by protesters” narrative. Ooooh scary black man! !

The people making this girl famous are trashier than she is. There are men on Twitter talking about how bad they want to fuck her. She’s 13 fucking years old.

Frankly, I’m more worried about dogs than people. An animal control officer advised my pit bull bitten husband that he was with in his rights to shoot the dog that bit him. Like shoot to kill. He is considering a concealed carry permit for his bicycle commute, just to deal with the dogs.

Trump is doing exactly what Hitler did when Hitler rose to power and part of that is marginalizing everyone who isn’t a Nazi.

Male or female?

Racism can only be perpetuated by those in positions of power. As a black woman, I am most definitely not on the top of the hierarchical scale.

Mike drop.

This lady kicks ass and I hope she wins the election.

I’m curious what thinly veiled racism she’s talking about being in that newspaper. I don’t live there and really don’t have time to read through it, if it’s even accessible without a subscription, anyway. Anyone have any more details?

Jezebel posters sure love to use black people as their props. Did you google “sassy black reaction GIF” when you were looking for that one?

As a black woman who lives in St Louis. Fuck you.

she didn’t recommend an unqualified african-american, just and african american. do you assume that qualified african-american editorial writers are non-existant?

I live in Philly and one person’s graffiti is another’s work of art. I love the graffiti in the neighborhood, it can (and does) turn an otherwise shit-hole of a junk yard concrete wall into an ever-changing work of art.

As a white male, can I ask a question about that last line? I understand the want and need for more staff writers who are African-American in the news industry. However, is it better to hire someone based on their ethinic background just because “you have to” or feel “it’s the right thing to do” OR is it better to…

Tishaura is not here for your BS, Post-Dispatch.

I can’t believe you believe the letter. St. Louis has been a black city for decades: it ain’t white people fucking it up.

I love that she called out the “graffiti” bullshit, too. Like, if your neighborhood’s biggest problem is bored teenagers with spray-paint then you have it pretty good...

And maybe you will consider hiring an African-American editorial writer.
