They have disrupted other candidates, well they tried to disrupt Hillary but her security was too tight. Also they disrupted Jeb and others.

I absolutely love this album but there a couple song messages that ring sour for me. On ‘Alright’ and ‘How Much a Dollar Cost’ the overriding message seems to be, “Faith in God is the only thing that’ll get you through.”

When someone says “Trump’s just telling it like it is” or “he says what we’re all thinking” or “he’s a straight shooter,” what they are actually telling you is “hi I’m a huge racist and am tired of politicians just pandering to me with dogwhistles, I would prefer regular whistles so we can all hear it.”

“White Americans in the majority think themselves good peeople and not actively racist.

Except that simply having that stereotype around can lead to these people thinking they have to live up to that stereotype to be accepted.

“Deadspin only played an excerpt which made me sound racist. If you listen to the full thing you’d know I’m incredibly dumb AND racist.” - Colin Cowherd

This whole situation is perplexing. Cowherd is usually so rational and composed.

Cowherd thinks his musings are comparable to a sloppy Hulk Hogan fuck tape, and I’m not sure who should feel insulted.

He sings songs and really wants to date Taylor Swift, but she sees him more like a little sister

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. Read them, more than one of them, and break out of your little bubble to see what someone else might be going

Only tourists appreciate this. Because it’s so colorful. The rest of us just want some god damn peace and quiet. The only thing worse than the singers are the preachers. They are dreadful, and they always seem to ONLY preach from the Bronx and stop just when we get to Manhattan, thus THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF MY COMMUTE.

DO NOT SING ON THE SUBWAY! I don’t care HOW famous you are, we’re all just trying to get to work and just want to ignore everyone around us so we can read a book or listen to a podcast. We are trying to have a goddamn civilization here! People in a train are the very definition of a captive audience since they CAN’T

“I shop with a white friend who poses as me so I can see the same places.”

You could always do what my mom did: house/apartment hunt through phone calls, then send your white friend in to check the place. Once you have all of the paper work squared away, then you show them that you’re really a spooky darkie, but it’s too late for them to do anything about it since you signed a lease.

As a black female who lived in an upper middle class neighborhood for a good portion of her childhood, this doesn’t surprise me. Not one bit. I distinctly my family and I shopping around for a bigger home and my dad and my mom were visibly upset by the process. I asked them why. I asked about the homes we viewed and I

I can definitely vouch for the landlord piece. A while back I lived in a duplex and my landlord owned and was selling both units. The person who bought the house had me as a tenant for the duration of my lease, and prospective homebuyers who read me as ethnically ambiguous tried all kinds of verbal acrobatics to

Unfourtanately, I suspect that at least another 20% of white people are liars.

Oh yes, that’s why I said at least 28%. That’s just the numbers we have on white people who are garbage enough to admit to being garbage to other people.

This. Some people do not understand that covert racism is a thing. A deeply ingrained, dysfunctional thing.
