This thread is a big fat barrel of truth. I don’t have time for people who think I should swallow all the bullshit my mom served to my brother and I because “we family”. My brother hasn’t talked to our aunt in three months because she wanted us to “let it go” and let mom live in our house again. 

I have the perfect story. To me, not even a drop in the bucket. Like, it’s funny. Gross funny but funny because in comparison..............

This, all day long. I am six and a half years out and I do not entertain conversations about talking to my family.

I know this is not what the article is about, but because he is so awesome I gotta point out that Bosh didn’t have a “promising” career in the NBA, he had already had a successful career and was an 11 time All-Star and two-time champion. He delivered on that promise. Also he is awesome.

Fuck the Karens from HR.

Run a trap house out of a house I gave you and best believe you will never own it.

Hello white 9-11, whats your emergency?

We should start calling the police on white people. Seriously.

for the record, the chromebook is my travel laptop. it costs like six dollars and does everything my macbook pro does. in fact, here is a pic of my chromebook and i partaking in our favorite activity.

This is the woman who grows up to be Karen from HR. The type of person who seems just enlightened enough to care about people, but really is interested in maintaining the status quo.

There should be a 9-11 for White people and a real 9-11 for the rest of us.

Although I’m sure the story you tell is real (unfortunately, fact is often stranger and more racist than fiction), it’s kind of crazy how the dogs in your story serve as a metaphor for how black people and POC interact with white people in general. I add the POC in this sentence not to dilute the black experience but…

I think there’s a fine line between wanting the best for yourself and yours, and a “fuck you, I got mine” attitude. IMO it boils down to empathy.

It is, but it’s also not totally normal to pull the ladder up behind your kids and actively try to prevent other people from doing the same thing.

LeVar Burton and Ta Nehisi Coates need to appear in Kanye’s bedroom some night dressed as ghosts and make Ye read some damn books.

Another case of Asimov’s Cult of Ignorance - “My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

We need to stop this “I’m entitled to my opinion” non-sense. All opinions are not of value nor should they be respected. I know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics. My opinion on the topic of nuclear physics makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.
