She’s also literally a walking contradiction: a immigrant who’s husband doesn’t want immigrants in the country. But she’s “white” so that erases any wrong doing or negativity shared with other immigrants.

1st Lady Michelle has some power to a limit, racism still prevents her from doing all she can...And black people can’t stop the racism that they didn’t create...it has to be the white people.

You are absolutely correct, and I hadn’t really thought about it in that context. Motivation to keep fighting! Thanks! 

I feel like he could punch Taylor Swift in the mouth, live on TV, and they wouldn’t abandon him.

This is so infuriating. I’m glad she’s getting help to fund some of these necessities for safety and livelihood, but it really pisses me off that any of it is necessary.

Exactly my opinion on the matter too. The media did help get us, and themselves, here. And will continue to do so because they have no chutzpah.

The media helped with the 2018 elections as well. I have a hunch they played his rallies more than the speeches of all candidates and surrogates combined.  They give him free press constantly and everyone else has to fight for it - and only get press if they are super famous (Oprah) - but then only get a few shots,…

All of 2016 I kept telling people, if that guy won, it was the media’s fault. They gave him a bigger platform than he ever deserved and they platform ignored his base. If the media had ignored him and/or called out his bullshit back then, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

I feel the same way. More than the Dems’ victories yesterday, I think the real winner was racism. The southern strategy is still working. Too many white people are either racist or apathetic toward racism, especially poor whites. All of the racist attacks that were made, all of the ads that were ran, and the fact that…

Oh these fucking idiots (I’m looking at you, Mrs. Smug Sunglasses). Abortion is not about saving precious babies, it’s about controlling women. And even if you’re a nice blonde fleece-vest-wearing Christian minivan-drivin’ mom you are going to be SCREWED (and so, especially, will your daughters) once every last right…

“I think what people (who aren’t ARE white) need to understand is that these incidents are literally the tip of iceberg that minorities face in the country”

I think what people (who aren’t white) need to understand is that these incidents are literally the tip of iceberg that minorities face in the country when simply asking for the equal treatment as the majority receives when shopping, walking, learning, driving, living, breathing, existing.

Preach!  I’m not wild about Kim and her family, but it really grinds my gears when people try to pin his problems on her.  Kanye has always been an egomaniac asshole.  We just didn’t mind that about him when we was training that energy in ways we approved of.

The only thing Republicans want to regulate is women’s bodies. 

Some of them would. I guess I always knew that some people didn’t learn the same things I learned about the 1960s — that things were bad and wrong and a great movement of noble people rose up to change our country etc. etc.. What I did not really realize is that there are entire sectors of the American population who…

That last sentence is the truth. I’ve been saying a lot of those sadistic people call the cops because they hope to get a front seat to the murder of a poc. It’s a sick fetish of theirs.

According to the grays, we’re the bad people for pointing out that White people actively support White supremacy and White supremacists on a daily basis. How dare we hold them accountable for hundreds of years of active terrorism and oppression?!?

I see a lot of this happening now. Recently, I’ve encountered too many black people that drone on and on about how they are not like other black people, they were raised “different”, etc. What they don’t realize is that in the eyes of the people they are trying to impress they are, and always will be, considered…

I mean it’s fitting then that these “good ones” (even if 45 wonders if there are “bad ones” among them) are drawn to that guy who believes himself to be superior while having a self-inflated ego.
