The people who voted for Trump are like my grandparents—they like their Black neighbors, but still believe all the stereotypes about all other Black people. In other words, they’re racists. Not the kind who wear white hoods and burn crosses, but the kind who think that institutional racism is just fine as long as

Thanks. One thing that has meant a lot to me personally is that on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I had conversations with three different older African-American women and each of them brought home to me the idea that all this has not been surprising to them. I’m surprised because to some extent, I was living in my

Even though I know/am related to many of those white people who voted for Trump, I still told myself the lie that overall, this country was not insane and surely Trump couldn’t win. Well, now the results are in and I’m having to take an uncomfortable look at the truth. I’m so sorry that the majority of white people

I worked the polls today too and came home to this. I am feeling so depressed right now.

I’m working the polls tomorrow! It’s my first time volunteering there, and I’m doing it because voter suppression makes me ANGRY. I was thinking about how I can’t have a Come to Jesus moment with every white supremacist and feeling sad and discouraged about the future, then I realized that I actually could do

My favorite one was the one that said liberalism is a mental disorder and Trump is the chemo. Chemo cures mental disorders! Who knew?

That one pic where Trump and the mask are looking at each other . . . I thought they were going to start making out in the next frame. It’s like someone set out to make a handy illustration explaining the meaning of “narcissist.”

Oooh, I’m jealous!

I voted today and I didn’t get one D: I realized it after I’d left and I was so sad. But I’m working the polls tomorrow and doing my part to make sure that every citizen is able to freely exercise their right to vote, so I’m excited about that!

I think that baby might have to still be in the womb for it to matter.

Document it and tell the police. They probably won’t do anything, but if the behavior is ongoing and you can establish a pattern, you might get somewhere.

OK, now I’m curious: how many of you noticed “fuck Brad Pitt” in the wall of text? I just saw a wall of text and moved on to the next thing.

Hi. This is Deadspin, not Jezebel.

Your comment made me laugh—yes, all the fat people have rolled to the middle and bottom of the country, just like a saggy old mattress!

If all the charges were dismissed, he wouldn’t have to bond out.

Well said!

Aw, thanks. As for changing in the restroom, it is eminently practical, yet as a woman, it sounds like a good way to be called hysterical (Do you REALLY think flying is that dangerous? Seriously!) and high maintenance (Another change of clothes and shoes? Do you really need so much?) Just another way that a lifetime

Thinking a woman is sexy is not automatically objectification! Handy tool: subjects act, objects are acted upon. So, if you’re treating women as subjects (seeing women as people who can make choices), you’re fine. If you’re treating women like objects (seeing women as things to be acted upon; i.e. “I don’t even ask,

I would start asking questions to determine if you’re my dad, but he doesn’t fly that often. But his kids don’t call him “Captain Safety” for nothing!

You know, it’s funny the preconceptions people carry into conversations like this: your brain went to international travel, mine went to domestic business travel. I have no idea of where this plane was actually going! And though I have traveled internationally too (with the appropriate clothing for that kind of
