I’m not saying those injustices don’t exist, I just don’t want someone’s political agenda shoved down my kids’ throats while they’re at school.

There is a world of difference between shame and empathy, and I assure you my 3.5 year old can tell the difference. Children are incredibly sensitive to emotions, especially from adults. “Feeling bad about being white” doesn’t sound like empathy or anger about injustice to fellow human beings, and to unjustly put that…

Where the heck do YOU live in the Seattle area? I’d say the east side is pretty diverse, especially Asian and East Indian populations, and is only getting more so. You just sound bitter and angry. Where are your statistics on increased racism and [hate] crime in this area? As far as I know, as more companies move here…

That’s the beauty of the accusation that is “white privilege”: if you’re white, you just have it. Even if you don’t know you do. And you can’t take any action to fix it or change it. Wait, isn’t that making a judgement and condemning someone based on someone’s race without any evidence, as in, racism? No, it’s only…

How does one “not accept the privilege”? Is that the same as refusing affirmative action on the SAT or a college or job application?

That comment doesn’t seem inflammatory at all. Are you so offended by someone with a slightly differing viewpoint?

I think you mean ‘shame’, not empathy. As a parent, I would certainly be against the teacher’s becoming politicized to that degree. And yes, I think the politics of the BLM movement is a bit much for elementary aged kids.

I don’t think that is why people have issue with the BLM movement.

I think people get offended by BLM because 1) it only calls attention to one side of the narrative (that cops unjustly police and kill black people) and essentially absolves the black community of responsibility from all the other problems they experience but refuse to talk about (black on black crime rate, high…

I’m pretty sure MLK Jr would NOT be marching with the BLM movement.

I love all of the supposedly justified white-people hate in the article (hard “r” used in Ku Klux Klan-rally speeches, Mark Twain novels and private Caucasian conversations when people of color aren’t present”) and in the comments. Good lord, here in Seattle white people and brown people and black people live pretty…

Wait, Star Trek Beyond better than Into Darkness? Like hell it was!

I heartily concur!! The 541s have been amazing and I’ve been wearing them daily for over a year. They have just the right amount of room and stretch in all the right places to make them very comfortable. Beware though, some of the colors use different fabric compositions that are less stretchy - I prefer the…

Are 3 and 5 year olds still considered toddlers?
