Or they gentrify the neighborhoods and jack up the cost to live there so that it is nearly impossible for the original residents to stay.

Racism in the north is definitely more subtle, but just as bad. It’s “I have to move to the suburbs because the schools in the city are so bad” with the unspoken-but-implied part being “because they’re full of children of color.”

The word ‘racist’ has become completely divorced from the concept and reality of racism.

He attacked George Washington and Jefferson when Trump worships Andrew Jackson. He moves into the Oval Office, he puts up a portrait of Jackson. He visits Jackson’s tomb and pays honor to him.

And they actually believe that permits cannot be revoked! Like, say, if you file for a peaceful-protest permit, and you show up with helmets & shields & guns & baseball bats, then the park owners KINDA know that you’re not intending to be as peaceful as you originally claimed.... and they can revoke your permit.

It’s only been 7 months. This seriously needs to stop. And to all of the people claiming that Trump is the lesser of two evils or that he and Hillary were the same....

I had to watch it twice all the way through to believe what he actually said. Amongst many staggeringly ignorant comments, his comment about tearing down statues of Robert E.

I’m a Southerner, born and bred, and these people are fucking appalling. The Confederates were not American soldiers and every last one of the leaders of the secessionist movement were traitors.

“The soldiers who fought for the Confederacy were US military?” I guess that just makes them criminals then, doesn’t it?

There are moments when I forget how much men hate women. But goddamn it, if shit like this doesn’t immediately snap me back into reality.

I think at this point the victims of Jack the Ripper would prefer not having futuristic amateur detectives gawking at their dead bodies, rather than having their murderer exposed.

He loves giving out hilarious nicknames. Can we please refer to him as Benedict Donald until it sticks?

I understood the words but not the way there were put together.
