I was kinda more pissed at the White liberals who immediately denounced the entire moment and basically “stay in your line”-d black people. Bernie Sanders hired a woman called Symone Sanders two weeks before the event - a black woman - and made racial equality a part of his main platform.

Wait. Before you ‘flimsy’, let’s fact check.

I’m tired of the pseudo-intellectual identity politics bullshit. You are an idiot if you think being a women or a person of color is more important than where you stand on the issues. BTW he is Jewish is a country with a history of anti-semitism. But go ahead vote for Hillary, just like you voted for Obama. Out…

crunching the numbers because i dig this kind of stuff. If 71 officers have been killed this year, in August, then assuming the rate continues about 95 total can be expected to have died in 2015. There are about 461,000 active duty police officers in the US, giving each officer an average of .02% chance of being…

Because what I’m saying is that it doesn’t have to be a different reality. Racism can’t be solved overnight, but police officers could try to not treat the people they’re tasked to protect as military targets, and it would be a positive result for all, even if society as a whole is still racist.

It’s human nature, indeed, animal nature, to survive.

Hey Kara, I just wanted to share this link in response to “the police have a dangerous job” argument. A grand total of 71 officers have died in 2015, with gunfire accounting for 26.7% of deaths. So yes, their jobs can be dangerous, but it seems like being a civilian is far more so.

Are periods that big of a deal that they make somebody a badass for doing regular things?

But way more calves are taken away from their mothers taken away every day. So why would this be the priority?

None of those are felonies. None of those involve property damage. None of those involve blasting your car through a business. Get off it.

we are the only developed country without voter ID laws, but yeah, we should totally just not do it. The same way we don’t do gun control or have socialized medicine or any other thing every good country has. Not doing everything that has been proven to work in developed countries is why America has been a shit hole…

There is a great Wikipedia article describing the Electoral College system and why it was put in place. I suggest you start there. That’s the long answer, but it will be good for your soul to iron out how electing the president works in this country. The short answer is “The Supreme Court was worried that the country…

Agree. If you want to admire someone and aspire to be like them pick someone who has a bit more substance. Like I said, I’m sure she’s nice enough but I think I want more for myself. Plus, I have horrible stage fright.

What kind of world is that that people want to be Beyonce and not, let’s say, Judy Blume, Toni Morisson or Carol Greider. We’re doomed!

“ You can’t help but cock your head to the side and wonder if there really is something to all of this.”

Yep.

Some people will not be able to sell their Employment Value for $15hr, and that wage will go to smarter and more attractive and capable people. There needs to be jobs for everyone at every level and those dummies shouldnt be having 8 dumb kids making 8$ an hour.

You know what, I’m going to copy&paste a really good post I saw on Tumblr. Not my words, but I wish they were because they are so right.
