People who think “it’s just a joke!” is an excuse for death threats should try making such “jokes” about the president in front of the Secret Service. Might be a nice object lesson for them.

Yes!! ... she made that one sometimes too. It wasn’t bad, especially compared to the thing with carrots and cottage cheese.

Just moved here, you say? Don’t let anyone talk you into cheese buttons, and fleischkeuchle is pretty sketchy too.

Never had this *particular* combo, but my grandma used to feed us a salad made out of lime jello, cottage cheese, grated carrots, and sometimes raisins. It’s as bad as it sounds.

In North Dakota, we “grill” rather than “barbecue” and there’s usually no chicken involved, which is OK because adding a little black pepper to something makes it “too spicy” for most folks. At least it’s hard to ruin hamburgers?

I can’t get over “cyberbullying over skin color is what Black Lives Matter is about!” Uh, no, bitch, Black Lives Matter is about *black people getting murdered.* Pretty sure they are a little too busy caring about real fucking problems to give a shit about cyberbullying.

I like this, but wish I could think of an indigenous hero of his time to honor. I suppose many of their names and stories were lost to history. :(

Oh my god. That is awful and I am so sorry your family is going through this. I also have a dog and an autistic kid, and I can’t imagine how they’d be handling life in a shelter full of noise and other people, and so much change and upheaval. Will be keeping all of you in my thoughts.

On that “dance” - I used to stand outside chatting with my co-workers on breaks, until one of them said something gross about the Obama girls. They asked if I was a “Democrat” when I got offended, and then they developed a habit of suddenly shutting up or switching to conspiratorial whispers whenever I walked by.…

You may be right. I grew up in a liberal bubble surrounded by college professors’ kids, and I know I miss this stuff because I don’t see it much IRL.

I just wonder if it was meant as dark humor about a real thing (“this is a great time to mock shitty racist cops because I’m not like them!”), or if it was more like “lol, can you believe there are nutjobs who think cops like to kill black people? Isn’t that crazy?”

IMO, there’s a difference between “Hey everyone, I’m a middle-aged white person who has no clue about racism, please educate me and tell me what I can do, because I can’t possibly figure it out myself!” and “Hey, I’d like to support the BLM rally you’re planning Sunday. As a white person, how can I help? Do you need…

Right, I respect that, but my point was just about *other white people* helping. Sort of like, if you are a dude who wants to know about sexism, and you really feel the need to find a real-life person to talk you through some stuff, you should go to your most feminist male friends rather than bothering women about it.

Funny, I and every other Jew I know care about all of the above. I suspect you’d know that if you were actually Jewish.

I mean, the basic issue with Rachel Dolezal is she lied about it for years. She didnt just openly decide to “become” black, she posed as a light-skinned black woman.

Bari Weiss is Jewish, right? Wonder how she feels about Messianic “seders” where they drink grape juice and talk about Jesus.

Yeah this was my thought too.

Yeah, a high school friend of mine is a TV reporter there (Miya Shay) and it sounds like they’re all very personally involved in helping out. As they should, since they live there.

Hey, I resemble this remark.

The day Mattis got nominated, I predicted he’d be the sanest member of the administration. Looks like I am not wrong.
