(Seriously, read this book - I knew colonialism was awful & brutal, but I did not know that it killed literally 50% of the population of the Congo.)

I hope on the weekends they hop in a giant green van together, driving around solving mysteries.

You’re correct in stating that many people accuse we Jews of disloyalty no matter what. However, you didn’t learn a thing from that fact. Kaepernick isn’t disloyal, not even slightly. He’s working to fix America, not harm it. Yet, because of racism, because he is partly black (which is all black apparently), he is…

No doubt those folks exist.

I also recommend Billy Bragg if you’ve not heard him.

Oh yeah, he’s great. Glad to hear! Sorry, I had missed your post earlier. Kinja has been wonky for me lately.

Yeah one of those dogs that gets reindeer steaks and weekly grooming lol

Stop and frisk anyone that looks like a white supremacist. It’s already been done in NYC and AZ.

And that’s kinda the kicker. White people don’t connect “skin color” and “culture” into “race” like minorities are largely forced to. It’s why they can say completely without irony, “It has nothing to do with race” while openly spitting venom and invective on every single aspect of the experience that defines race as…

There are plenty of Archie Bunkers out there in this world who absolutely believe they aren’t racist despite holding bigoted view and behaving in a bigoted manner.

Yeah, my dad served in Vietnam - against his will - and doesn’t want any part of that narrative. Now that I think about it, the vets I know all pretty much feel the same way. Except for one dude who wants everyone to kiss his ass. But he was always like that.

Guide to bringing it out of Europeans

I haven’t seen that one yet. I’m glad, because my head would probably explode.

Best comic posted so far, no offense to everyone else

Screen cap that isht, reply to yourself and put the screen cap in the reply. You school them, they remain grey, everyone gets to point and laugh.

“I regret what I said deeply and I am not the racist the media portrays me as.”

So true!

Lotsa people gonna give hot takes on your question, so i’ll give you a measured one as a fellow white person that frequents this blog. This space is for people of color to discuss the issues that they face. It’s not about us, so approach it as if you were a tourist. The sentiment might seem off-putting at first, but…

You are reading The Root. #NotAllWhitePeople is to be assumed, because I have seen this argument, in some fashion, in every comment thread on every article. Don’t get your back up and do understand that the author is not talking about you. Probably. I mean, unless you are one of those who hate-reads the Root, in…

Jesus, dude, I’m so white my ass glows in the dark and this was clearly tongue in cheek. It was funny as hell too. You just need to get over yourself for 2 seconds and enjoy it.
