I would proclaim this COTD if I wasn’t dry-heaving at the likelihood of the scenario you just described actually fucking happening.

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...

I saw a response to some of that trash today. From a white person, too.

I wish that everyone would read it.

I was raised to, and I quote mom here, “Question every assumption since Christ’s.” (actually I was taught to question that as well)

For whites, even the most well-meaning, comfort will always trump justice. Peace and maintaining the status quo will always be more important than taking action. They don’t want to “ruffle any feathers,” “rock any boats,” or step out of line. Some of them are scared of the backlash. Not just from the government or

Yes they are cowards. As black women stood up and tried to save this country, 53% of white women turned their backs on one of their own. Why? At the end of the day their flat, yoga pant wearing, pumpkin spice latte drinking, This Is Us binge watching, Taylor Swift version of September listening asses will always be

White people just want to be comfortable.

Yep. Michael, don’t think for a minute you aren’t making a difference. I know you write to show and expose. But it does resonate. It has opened my eyes. Glad to be alienated and left out. Not going to quietly think it’s enough to sit and say nothing any longer.

“Don’t upset the apple cart.” <— what every white child is taught (most likely because historically the majority of the apples have gone to us)

I feel like a broken record, because I so often say this on your articles, but this is brilliant. And it is shattering, and I wish that everyone would read it.

That’s some good stuff. And it’s true, white people are chickenshit to the core. It explains so much about so much bad shit and shit-doers can keep on doing evil shit, because other white folks don’t want to rock the boat, or lose access. At least not publicly anyway. Among themselves, they will sometimes nod or get

Evil can not exist without the complicity of cowardice.

Oh Jesus. I fell in love with Han Solo when I was seven, too...in 1977. Sigh. The hours I spent staring at Tiger Beat magazine’s in depth analysis of “Who’s Sexier, Han or Luke?” Uh, duh, Han, ten times over.

Part of me wants him to join and speak up with all of the other Parkland survivors. This is someone who thought in the moment, “What can I do to prevent more loss of life” and took action. I think his instincts are a powerful symbol of the goodness in people.

I can’t even begin to imagine being 15 years old and making the deliberate choice to use my own body as a barricade to block gunfire and take bullets in order to save my classmates’ lives.

I always hated that the Bush family tried to act as if that they were Texans. The entire family is from Connecticut and is about as Texan as Mitt Romney.

All we’re doing is adding “incompetent rider” to “pedophile”, “theocrat”, and “racist”.

It’s only cool if you rock the full ensemble: plague doctor hat and creepy beak-mask. Gotta be legit or plague doctor Twitter will burn you.

I knew I loved John Oliver. This just confirms it.
