Uh, my middle school cousin was raped in a bathroom. She’s black.

She does say that even if you don’t like your toothbrush, you like having clean teeth, so it brings you joy. It’s a different version of “only keep what is useful or beautiful.”

They want to be seen as oppressed without actually being oppressed.

Exactly! Fake victimization, so there is no real pain or serious consequence.

Mildest genocide ever! Voluntary- drug/alcohol ODs, white-on-white crime, having fewer kids, having mixed kids based on curent definition of “white.” There have been no mass roundups of people or mass graves.

Hmmm, so I guess here’s a situation of a wanna-be politician wishing he could regulate a man’s reproductive system.

I saw that in St. Louis from coworkers who grew up in more rural areas.

The show caters to “real American” women, many of whom will not like not being the metphorical center of attention.

Not if you have to take public transit in a city.

India is in Asia, so May. The focus would be on Indian Americans of note.

The city is also quite small, and thus its negative stats are quite bad.

My activist friends who live in St. Louis are clearly leaning for Jones as a candidate.

It’s Black History Month, not so-called White Saviors Month.

Asian/Pacific American History Month is in May.

What did you enjoy? Forest Park would be perfect if it had a pool. The low cost of living is awesome, and therefore artist-friendly.

SAME! As a black person, NOPE! I met some great people, but the pervasive segregation was too much. There is so much narrow-mindedness there, which is common when people never leave home, and haven’t done so for generations.

Probably the thinly veiled racism that exists in society- portraying Black people negatively no matter what, minimizing our accomplishments, discussing the dysfunctional family a Black person came from if they become a notable person due to success, etc.

Right? SweetArt is a scourge! How dare a black family sell vegan food and art! How dare Sweetie Pie’s be so popular the line goes down the block on weekends!

100% on point! As someone who lived in the city for several years, the lack of regional togetherness is one of many issues holding the area back.

I like most of Bell’s stuff, but his progressive-black-people-are-ok-with-LGBTQ-relationships-but-side eye-my-marriage-to-a-white-woman thing is self-serving and as little nuance.
