I need to start listening to this. I followed him on Twitter a while back because of Black Lives Matter activism and was tickled to discover that he also tweets all kinds of stuff on interesting & unrelated topics. Eyeball tattoos! Oh, also here is another case of police brutality. Here is an essay about racism in

I am flattered but white, lol! I do appreciate seasoned food though.

Loved the annotations ... but also I kind of needed them, lol.

My experience w/ chicken skin is 100% the opposite of hers. I grew up in Oklahoma eating all of the things listed (because let’s face it, white folks in Oklahoma do not have their own unique cuisine), and then I moved to North Dakota, where I spent 14 years telling my mother-in-law to please, please not throw away the

OK, I couldn’t stand not knowing, so I googled the lyrics and discovered Phil Ochs. Holy shit, how was I not already familiar with him? I love folk music and especially protest/political singers like Woody Guthrie. Listening to his whole catalog now, thanks for setting me on the road there.

YES. So much this. Wish I could hammer this point into the head of every other white person.

Yeah, I’ve been learning that. I’m not surprised anymore, just angry - both that it happens, and that I was taught so many lies.

I feel like I should know who sings that, but I don’t.

See, I checked the comment history, and there was enough mostly innocuous stuff going back far enough that I got bored and quit. Do bots do that?

I wouldn’t mind coming back as a spoiled white woman’s dog actually, they have nice lives

That 97-year-old WWII vet is my hero.

Friendly reminder that Rahm Emanuel is also at least partially responsible for the Laquan McDonald coverup. He is a corrupt, worthless piece of shit and I’m embarrassed to share an ethnic group with him.

I don’t know how common either type is, but the “gullible” certainly exist. My parents were white liberals of their day; they thought MLK was agitating too much, I think, and Malcolm X was *definitely* a dangerous radical, but they also believed that civil rights were a worthwhile cause.

Ooh, I bet he’s “clean” too.

Like with Rob Ford, sports is where that xenophobic underbelly of Canada shows itself (it exists in every country).

My personal pet peeve is the bumper stickers that say “If you speak English, thank a soldier!” Like ... was there an invasion of the US by non-English-speaking people at some point in our history and we all just forgot about it? Do they think Saddam was on the verge of conquering us and forcing us all to speak Arabic

I get that these conservatives think we need to be executing people all the time, but it’s still shameful that anyone who believes in the rule of law could agree that “he should deserve to die because he’s a n——-” is “impartial” in any way whatsoever. Even if he’s actually guilty, no matter what he’s actually guilty

I’m just going to post this as a reply to your thoughtful comment instead of directly addressing the trolls in the gray, because I know they’re obsessively reading all new posts here anyway.

I feel like this person hates themselves is insecure enough to join a movement seek validation from a website that hates them isn’t all about them .... clearly appears to be bending over backwards for racists seeking attention from black people, clearly, and still not good enough for you? actually interested in
