The wild thing is that going by the bible, Jesus was a refugee from a middle-eastern nation who hated rich people, believed in free healthcare, and railed against profiteering religion.

Thank you Michael, I had gotten that image of madam pancake ass wrapped in the flag for all the world to gaze on her assless visage out of my head and you brought it back. Taneshi Coates said this about white evangelicals a long time ago and he was right: “They would rather be white than free.” I so look forward to…
Their “belief” only goes as far as it working for them. If GOD actually came from onhigh (even in the guise of a white man) and said that racism was wrong, and all humans are and should be equal, watch how fast they’d turn on him.
In fact, statistically, whiteness correlates to the GOP more than age, gender, education, religious affiliation, or even income.
When I was growing up in Fundie Land, I was told that anyone who didn’t obey the exact wording of the Bible was going straight to Hell for being a fake Christian. Now I’m convinced that if anyone’s going to Hell, it’s going to be the people who preached “Christian values” but “didn’t do these things for others” — said…
They’re the assholes that pray on the corner so everyone can see how pious they are. The Bible says very specific things about that...
The hijacking of the GOP (fiscal GOP) by the Moral Majority allowed for the current state of confusion, lies, misrepresentation of ideas, and of course racism. Because in this country, racism is the root of the majority of the problems that exist. It exists just because the deep, inherent hate that white (not all™)…
Said it once, will repeat myself.
White privilege is always being the banker in Monopoly and wondering why you ALWAYS win. White privilege is thinking this makes you a financial genius despite knowing that you’ve been using the bank’s money as your own.
What you thought was “colorblind” was blind to injustice committed under your nose.

For as long as we’ve been human, we’ve sat around the fire at night and told stories. It’s what we still do, except the fire has moved into the television, the movie theater, and the classroom. The stories we tell are like the stories we’ve always told, from Gilgamesh to Odysseus to Iron Man, they’re about a few of us…
I find that if someone says the Civil War was about states’ rights, asking “A state’s right to do what?” usually results in a lot of stammering.
Here is it: it is an admission that white people cannot handle. It is an anathema. To be taught that you are better, you are special, that you created the world and that your culture is the best and now have to own up to the fact that your way of life and your society has been paid for through the perpetuation of…
I know you can’t engage the trolls, but I just have to...
Dear White Supremacists,
Stop being racist, stop supporting criminals and terrorists, stop shooting unarmed people. Stop all of it, or we’ll pick up 400 years of bad habits - oh wait - too late.
The audacity of these people.
We aren’t saying protesting and being a BLM supporter isn’t good, (YAY y’all) but how about advocating and being an ally without taking over. Quoting E.D. Mondaine, the president of Portland’s NAACP speaking on well meaning white BLM advocates, “… show up like we need them to show up and not how they think is best”
Provide support while suppressing the need to conquer and divide. That would be a start.
I was just discussing some of this with a co-worker this morning, the WOM the Dads whatever name they use with the leaf blowers, its turned into a sideshow. At the end of the day (or night) do they know they are supposed to be getting the BLM message out there not putting on a stage show for the media? Locally where I…
