THIS. So much. I wondered if I was the only person who actually read TKAMB to begin with, because it’s right there in the text.

Yeah, this quote is super on point!

“Another result of this lack of implementation, is that the decision whether or not to test a rape kit has likely been up to the officer of each investigation.”

Happy to add some context. This nonsense surrounding Coates’ book has been playing out all week and it’s infuriating. There was another Serious White Man blogger (I refuse to link or name him) who wrote a similarly condescending and self-aggrandizing piece “praising” (but actually being a dick) Coates’ writing. And…

David Brooks wrote a typically clueless column about Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book. The book is written as a letter to his son, so David Brooks thought it would be cute to also style his column that way. If you’ve ever read any of Coates’ work, he’s pretty unsparing in his observations about race and white supremacy in…

The more I think about Brooks’ column the angrier I get. I hope it sets of a firestorm of fury and he gets booted from the Times and his weekly perch at NPR and PBS. It is bad enough that he flaunts his privilege to try to silence a black man’s pain (on the anniversary of Eric Garner’s death!!) but the whole essay is…

FOr those who are still clearly not going to get the point of this. there are a flood of materials out there that intelligently describe the many and varied experiences of minorities living in America.

Beautiful.

Reading Brooks’ original fuckery, my brain was completely overtaken with White Opinions memes

I know you’ll appreciate this one, Milk: my flatmate, who works for a veddy high-end events management company, recently ran a do that Prince and Princess Michael of Kent turned up to. My flatmate said Prince Michael was grotesquely drunk, to the extent that at one point she had to go into the loo with him, unzip his…

Or for having an affair.

I dislike everyone in this dirtbag. Except Bobby.

Um, have you ever read any of Phillip’s quotes? The man has been hilariously bigoted and a moron forever:

Is this the U.S.A., the MAGNITED STATES OF AMERICA!? (Censored for your comfort)

Prince Phillip asked some women who they “sponge off.” Which, gross? I think? I’ve never heard that term.

We have to win this fight for LGBT civil rights. We have to make them a federally protected class. Lest there be a massive wave of disingenuous (there is no such religious belief that you cannot hire someone to work in your business because they don’t practice your specific beliefs) religious discrimination against…

The Duggars might be facing foreclosure.
