This reduction in scope isn’t helpful. If Betsy was simply a staunch advocate for charter schools she wouldn’t be nearly as controversial. That her support for charter schools is informed by white supremacy just like the policy decision in this article and her nuking of Title IX... that’s a big difference.

Not sure I buy this explanation when just last year he was saying he didn’t see color and hadn’t experienced racism until moving to the US after he became famous

I don’t buy this. Drake did an interview last year about how he doesn’t see color(barf) and only ever experienced racism after coming to America

Drake said in an interview last year that he didn’t see color and hadn’t experienced racism so he was lying then or he’s lying now

The best part of the Drake/Pusha T beef to this point has been the same people who defended Drake going after Kid Cudi’s mental health now being scandalized by Pusha’s comments about 40. I hadn’t realized how Trumpian the cult of personality around Drake was until then

Drake went after Kid Cudi’s mental health struggles previously

Drake mocked Kid Cudi for having mental health issues but not sure if that was last year or not

The American public has been instructed to support Israel’s doctrine of disproportionate response for years it shouldn’t be too surprising that our own far right ideologues have worked to install similarly aggressive practices within area police forces and national security agencies

Yeah this is one of TV’s worst tropes... the ever redeemable racist/sexist/homophobe with a heart of gold finally meets the model minority that makes him reconsider the humanity of others. Then they’re celebrated!

They know. These pols don’t truly believe in trickle down economics either, they just sell it for personal profit

Protecting bad cops is America’s favorite shell game

This won’t change or get better until the police stop enforcing this racialized terrorism and folks like Bewildered Becky get fined for making these calls.

The increase in the incidence of hate crimes since the election is statistically significant, this is already happening

Trump is a goober but Melania richly deserves every bit of public embarrassment she suffers at his hands

lol Bruce Lee was nowhere close to being the first to espouse something in this vein. Creative concepts are necessarily iterative at best anyway

But you are downplaying his predatory behavior by saying what he actually did - groom these girls - is an inflammatory and overstated charge. You are exactly what needs to change to help prevent things like this from happening.

JJ?

Abusers generally target those that are vulnerable for one reason or another whether that’s because of their personality, their personal situation, or how they’re viewed by society or those around them(i.e. people that are less likely to report or less likely to be believed if they do).

Jesus Christ what was the reaction to that like? I can’t imagine how racist you’d need to be to pillory a dead three year old like that.

I’m not sure I’m for this analogy, Jell-O is famously easy to mold into disgusting artificially flavored gelatinous objects of many varieties.
