Birkenstock Becky

Why? She’s almost certainly dead and the school had nothing to do with it. Nobody had issues like this on their radar in the 80s. Blackface was ok on NBC’s most popular shows, Disney’s pantheon of “Uncles” were steppin and fetchin away, Speedy Gonzalez was making a mockery of the Spanish language and basically…

I’m from Knoxville and while it’s definitely not at all what it was like when I was growing up, UT keep it more even keeled racially than basically anywhere in a 20 mile radius of Knoxville.

“Hello, officer, I’m calling because I just bought a car from a local auction and I found seventee..... ummm fiftee...ummm three bricks of cocaine in a hidden compartment inside the car.”

arguing that this mass grassroots uprising against police brutality and white supremacy is actually some sort of top-down conspiracy coordinated by wealthy elites

She saved her venom for people she thought she could intimidate, as bullies have done forever. She picked out people who are “vulnerable”and traditionally not afforded respect-POC, trans, fat, gay-and disrespected them in the most obvious ways possible.

Wow Dean, an alleged racist was nice to you, a white boy?  What could it mean?

Our nation existed long before a bunch of cult rejects from some island with shit food stumbled over here & decided they didn’t want to pay their fair share.

Rich white man cries about old statue while black people are crying for police to stop murdering them.

This. All of this. And every disgusting reminder that flows from it. Thank you for so aptly pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the nation’s response. All it takes is for major media outlets to lead with the question of why people are doing this. Not the simple narrative of just one more tragedy at the hands of…

reading white liberals condemning the riots have been frustrating. black people have to constantly read and watch their community be horribly brutalized and straight up murdered, by those who swore to protect you no less. not only that, they have every single thing in life stacked against them. imagine having that…

The bad faith “but what about the STORES” takes are out in full force. I’m not sure how that dumbass attitude where you weep for property but not for people doesn’t get intellectually beaten out of you before you reach adulthood, but here we are.

I have one small factual correction. Philando Castile was murdered by a police officer from the Falcon Heights PD which is a suburb of St Paul, MN. Minneapolis as a city, especially the activist community, feel the pain and anger associated with that murder and it has contributed to the frustration that has now been…

We’ve tried being peaceful and what has it gotten us? When polite and persistent requests go ignored this is what happens. This ain’t a riot, it’s a revolution. 

I have some experience with this. Being sent away/“rehomed” is profoundly traumatizing, even when it’s in a divorce situation, with the child in question moving from parent to parent. It doesn’t matter how nurturing the parents are. The child internalizes it as a problem with them, and the sibs question whether it can…

“should self quarantine for 14 days if they have any compassion for others”

I think we’ve all pretty much already figured out that “compassion for others” is not a thing these people are interested in.

I especially liked one of her earlier comments proclaiming her music would herald a “third wave” of feminism. Considering that the third wave has been described as far back as the 1990s, and even a fourth wave as far back as the mid 2010s, it seems apparent to me she knows fuck all about the history of feminism.

Yeah, I can’t imagine knowing his wife is out having “mindblowing” sex with some other guy is doing him any favors, either. Maybe it’s just the way she explained it but she comes across really selfish and unsupportive. She seems more concerned with the other guy’s roommate than her husband.

“But he’s also having a lot of confidence issues with not being allowed to work. Begging my spouse to be turned on by me is the biggest boner killer and marriage ruiner in the world so I’ll take my once a week marriage sex and keep getting the rest of my fix somewhere else.”

considering that brit brit is an arsonist maybe this is for the best.
