I’m really struggling here and trying not to feed the trolls that see this as “what’s wrong with today’s youth” and “race-baiting”. I have worked several places in my life and they have had different rules and regulations when it came to dress code. NONE of then have ever said you cannot wear your hair in a ponytail.…

Honestly, I’m a Bernie supporter who’s going to vote for Hillary, and probably even campaign for her, because, whether the circumstances were fair or not, he lost, and she’s now the only thing standing in the way of protofascist Donald Trump winning the presidency.

This post was about how white people constantly derail/appropriate/completely fucking miss the point of black liberation politics and the comments section has become a brilliant example of it.

This is one of the most tone deaf and condescending responses I’ve ever read on this site. And that’s saying a lot.

And that somehow justifies the derailment going on in the comments right now? Need I remind you that this post was not up last night when you “had your moment”. White people amaze me with their ability to constantly miss the point.
