Thank you...even just looking at the purple of her dress, it seems less intense (less color?) than the 2nd photo.

Is it my imagination, or does the lead picture look even more pale than the tweeted pic?

Ah, I see what you are saying. I consider myself lucky to have grown up witnessing the spectrum of racism, so that I’m aware it exits. I’ve dealt with people of color who automatically assumed I was someone in opposition to them because I am white, and have had to work toward bridging that gap. I’ve also had to throw…

I always thought “cracker” was a dig at how pale and lacking in flavor/culture/etc. white people are, like a saltine cracker. It took me decades to realize it was in reference to whips.

I’m unclear on how your point applies to me. For instance, I grew up on the border of Paterson NJ, which has the 2nd highest density of any U.S. city, 34% white and 32% black...and prior to where I live now, I worked in a city that was 47% black and 25% white (with 39% foreign born). I’ve moved around a bit. So again,…

I believe where I live, based on the last census report, is 43% Hispanic, 12% Black, but lists as 65% white...which I think has to do with households identifying as more than one race, or how the Hispanic population is counted.

As a white male, this stuff doesn’t bother me. In fact, I know it’d be ridiculous for me to get upset or offended over something like this. Akin to the example of a bullet wound versus a paper cut, I’m aware of the countless daily advantages I have because of who I happened to be, even in a very liberal region of the…

Agreed.

“Hold my Guinness...”

I never saw it either, maybe it’s targeting specific users here.

Gotta say, it’s pretty funny that he showered the stage in singles. Maybe they thought the cameras wouldn’t pick that up.

Even if they aren’t good people, they should still be allowed to date each other. If a rich old jerk wants to date a young, vapid gold digger, let them be happy with each other. If some black guy and white girl want to date because they both have race fetishes, then fine...let them date each other and get them out of…

“I can see Russia from my backyard!”

I think that if they knew who she was, they wouldn’t have been so thrown by her identifying herself. I imagine they thought their reasoning for pulling over the vehicle would be sufficient for the “average” person, but when they realized who she was, you could hear the embarrassment of presenting a reason they know…

I’d imagine if the officers were aware of who she was (in order for this to be part of a larger campaign against her), they wouldn’t have been so thrown off by who she was and thus their inability to justify their stop to her.

Maybe his financial needs will get him to film ‘Cradle 2 The Grave 2'.

Considering I have socks older than these girls, I’m not surprised if they have no clue of the world beyond their immediate bubbles. Sure, there are articles every few weeks about some obtuse young person darkening their face in an attempt to mimic another race, for whatever strange reason...but someone has to have an…

“While these videos can be graphic in nature to view, keep in mind our canines are extremely effective at deescalating situations and preventing elevated levels of force to take people into custody,”

I know this is the least important part of this whole ordeal but...when he mimicked firing a gun, did he move his index finger like he was pulling a trigger, or did he have his index finger outstretched while moving his thumb like a hammer?
