Since he stopped answering his phone, you can try his assistant:

They can discriminate against special needs students and they can kick out students much easier for “behavior” issues. They are not bound by the same rules as public schools.

Correction: Many Latino men love to sexualize black women. But when it comes to actually dating/marrying? Much more complicated.

Toomey’s voice mailboxes have been full for weeks. People have taken to faxing him. Yes, it’s 2017 and the only way to get through to our Senator is FAXING. He’s getting a head start on dialing back time.

Republicans will no doubt prove what spineless shells of humans they are and vote DeVos in. Party over Country. Money over Children.

So glad neither of my parents are senators so they don’t have the opportunity to talk about me or my siblings. #embarrassing

I did not know that about Virginia and that is seriously fucked up.

I see this as such an emblematic right wing issue. People who do not give a single fuck about anyone else, or society as a whole. Because they’re getting a voucher or a tax break to send their kid to whatever Christian academy they like. Why should I have to pay for schools WE don’t even use? Those school suck anyway…

Read up on the complete clusterfuck failure that is the EAA (Education Achievement Authority) in Michigan, a parallel “public” system enacted to basically destroy Detroit Public Schools, and ended up destroying damn self in the process. Even the Republican legislature had to admit this system was a failure, even as…

Yep! Not to mention that, as with other places that have complicated racial histories, Latin America as a whole venerates fair coloring.

Tune in to C-Span so Congress knows Americans are watching this:

I had a really fun time during the last Christmas holiday when I went to visit my half Mexican/Dominican gf’s family and I was told directly by multiple family members that I wasn’t invited to Christmas dinner because I am black. Her mother also told her that she should break up with me to make the whole ordeal…

It’s about embracing the Kool aid. There’s also racism between nationalities because some are super entitled.

wondering aloud about how American blacks could be so poor even though they’d been in the US for so long (verdict: laziness).

Basically dating a darker skin tone. Date and marry if possible a lighter latino. It’s fucking messed up.

His reaction was awful. He could have been. Yo, ask any Latino family about this and see the cringe. The cringe shows the truth.

Yup. It’s not really a racist joke so much as an observation about a racist behavior. I guess you could argue that it’s endorsing said behavior, but he’s not wrong. A lot of older Latinos really do feel that way.

One of my “learnings” as an Anglo working in a Latino nonprofit was how anti-black many of my co-workers were, from dissing each other for being too dark to wondering aloud about how American blacks could be so poor even though they’d been in the US for so long (verdict: laziness). The other Anglo guy in the office…
