Exactly. If you’re a “good guy with a gun” and you’re white, you won’t get shot. Also, if you’re a “bad guy with a gun” and you’re white, you won’t get shot.

So I live near Hoover, and allI can say is fuck Hoover and Hoover PD so hard. I am obviously a goofy ass white dude, but HPD profiles hardcore. The worst example that comes to mind is, while working at a retail store in Hoover, one of our managers was sitting in his car in the parking lot talking on the phone before…

Regarding your surprise at them admitting they fucked up, allow me to explain my state’s horrible bullshit: in the eyes of the white voter and power base, this is not admitting they fucked up. It reads that way to decent and reasonable people, but this is actually a message to the “Lord Joe”s and “Dee Plored”s of the…

I like how the very same people that will tell you how it’s so great that you can open carry in Chick fil A will be the same people that will say the cops had to shoot immediately because the guy had a gun on him. (May have had a gun. This post doesn’t make it clear if he was armed or not.) 

Of course, the trigger-happy cops saw a brother with a gun and took him out. The only thing shocking to me is that they came back so soon and admitted they fucked up. Usually, they would cover it up and try to pin the shooting on this dearly departed veteran.

I find white allies who married black to be infinitely more irritating than just plain old white allies. They go in with the assumption that they can’t be wrong and they know their partner will back them up. Their allyship is based entirely on leverage over the people they want to help and they use it to elevate…

You’re right. I’m sure he did that Nike campaign gratis.
(And by the way, don’t worry: You don’t sound racist at all.)

I had an old history assignment I did as a teacher. Research something on that happened on your birthday. Unbeknownst to me, the KKK was founded on this kid’s day . They had to write a paper and do something art wise. He brought in a KKK outfit on butcher paper. I called the parent, she knew and didnt care and…

Make them how? They’re not going to do it because you ask. You think you’re the first generation of black people who’ve been fed up at their treatment from white America? Hardly.

WHY WOULD THEY?

You can claim something is “no longer acceptable” all you like, but unless you have the power to change it, it’s meaningless rhetoric (like the people who lived and died under oppression before you where simply ok with it?)

That’s definitely going to be the white strategy going forward. Inviting smaller groups into whiteness as necessary. You see it here in this piece with Asians. Then it’ll be the 2nd and 3rd generation hispanics who will no longer see themselves as hispanic, but white.

I know that racism and more generally tribalism is universal. When traveling, I heard Arabs in Morocco tell the same sheep-sex jokes about Berbers that I heard Englishmen tell about Scots. I also think white supremacy is a bigger beast than that, having so shaped the world for millennia through colonialism, genocide,…

The hypothetical ahistorical plane on which they want to have a debate doesn’t actually exist, so it is impossible to have a rational discussion with them.

“Imagine if a white person said ...” is the most typical straw man argument I encounter from those accusing me of one. Because as you so aptly said:

“...the narrative of defining the rules [of] racism is often used to deflect from the actual work. Everyone knows racism. Those who pretend not to or who argue about the…

My main point is that there’s no incentive for white people to end the system that supports and uplifts them. They don’t give a fuck about colored, they proved as much by creating the system that oppresses them in the first place.

On-topic: I’m not giving the Federalist my clicks, so I’ll assume it was a Costco sample-sized bit of fuckery and nonsense.

I would like to say that I am a Pakistani but never really thought about racism till I came to the UK. Now I notice it all the time. I lived in America and still think about it all the time.

Don’t kid yourself he doesn’t care because of Saudi Money even if the reporter was white. 

I think you missed a very salient point.. of the 450 B dollars spent, ONLY 110B will be spent on military equipment.. Quite a substantial amount will be spent in/with trump holdings.. so basically the president is selling out the country to a murderer for money that will be funneled back to HIM.. not the country.
