There’s an incredible Sundown Towns site (http://sundown.tougaloo.edu/sundowntowns.php) that lists cities and towns across the US that may or actively did have discriminatory laws, and includes demographic data and personal testimonies from those who lived there.

“The hard thing in trying to illuminate that racist mindset was where upstanding people of the day were raised with these really racist thoughts. I tried to describe this world so that white readers could understand that your own grandparents and great-grandparents thought that way too. The majority of the white…

I read the book earlier this fall and it’s very much worth reading. It’s one read that it takes getting through the first 100 pages and the background information before you become hooked.

Ii’s like all the states are pregnant with little versions of themselves.

Here’s your trigger warning...

Yeah, how unfair of the Federal Government of the United States to take all that land from those, um, original, um, owners....and MY FREEDUMS.

White men: “We love this land, we know what the land needs.” Patriots standing up against tyranny.

All three movies — Father of the Bride, the remake, and Why Him — look God awful. I’ve only seen the first two, but they were predicated on the “passing” along of female property from one male to another. Why Him looks the same.

You know what’s hilarious? For the past eight years these types of people having being saying that Obama doesn’t represent them because he’s “foreign.” They have pushed factually incorrect accusations that Obama was born in Kenya or is secretly Muslim to justify their “patriotism.”

I’m shocked because James Franco is a VERY SERIOUS ARTISTE.
