“They didn’t let me finish the class and they disrupted the learning process. I had a right to free speech, and I exercised that right.”

Honestly, I try not to wonder what is and isn’t obvious to white people any more. It’s draining and I have to focus on my well-being. I’ve found that even in friends (white ones, of course) I’ve had for years, the ignorance is still thick. Some of them literally think all black people ought to be like me. Thank Allah…

Stand up and insult white supremacy and the mouthpiece of white supremacy and folk will find all manner of reasons why you, a black lady, should be fired. That’s what america is: black folk daring to talk back to massa on a national stage and insulting his dumb ass - just like white folk have been doing to this…

Oh please, if she said black mothers are doing an awful job of raising their predatory criminal children, the school would’ve given her a raise.

Listen bub, in America, God’s Own Country, we have the right to work endless hours for piss-poor wages just to be able to pay for mom’s chemotherapy meds while the kids get diabetes because junk food is all you can afford and Bobby gets bored at school because you can’t scrape together enough for enrichment classes…

“Why can the US not offer its citizens the care that so many other nations offer?”

21st Century versions of “Let them eat cake.” We all know how that worked out last time.

My understanding is that pretty much every first world democracy has been able to offer universal healthcare to all of their people.

Older people already HAVE socialized medicine. It’s called Medicare.

that sounds like a great argument for single payer to me

It’s worth noting that Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau is openly gay and has served as grand marshal of the parade. so yeah...
