This is setting these kids up for failure. When you are already being treated like a criminal why not be one? If parents are neglectful or there are allegations of abuse CYS, DHS or CPS etc. visit the home to make sure kids are safe and parents are doing their job. If you have a 3 year old biter in preschool, your…

Kids from middle class and affluent families get IEPs.

That is how the book did it. Women of color were either Marthas (house slaves), or sent to the Colonies (ironic) to clean up nuke waste until they died of rad poisoning.

People who sat out the election, or voted third-party because they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Clinton honestly piss me off more than Trump voters.

I love that the #NotAllWhitePeople types don’t seem to get that if you feel attacked by articles like this, you might want to look closely at yourself. I’m definitely white, and I don’t generally feel targeted by them. I’ve also done my best to unlearn my white fragility, though, so there’s that.

Scamming.

They would surrender all their freedom just to keep from being the minority and make sure the minorities stay below them.

Whenever I see acquaintances/friends going overboard posting an excessive amount of clicktavist-type stuff online, it always makes me wonder what kind of racist/sexist/whatever actions they have in their past. Either that, or I wonder if they’re actually doing things to try and make a difference rather than just hittin…

Not gonna lie a friend of mine became a bit of a SJW twitter type in the wake of Trumps election, after having been more or less a libertarian for his whole life. We talked about it personally and his basic point was “how can you not do something now”. But his whole online thing is very extra. So a part of me has been…

Unfortunately my household is in a similar boat. My eldest brother is on dialysis, and had breathing issues. We are a low income household. This year we had to apply for shutoff protection with CL&P and CT Natural Gas.

Most power companies have a process to apply to to prevent them from cutting the power due to medical conditions. Of course, the power companies intentionally make it a Byzantine process.

I mentioned this above: my parents got a bill after my mom called the police on a legitimate crime (someone trying to break in the house). Police CAN and DO bill when they show up. I think they just choose WHO to bill or not bill, if you catch my drift.

PSE&G issued a statement on Sunday and said the power to the Daniels home was disconnected “due to lack of payment over several months.”

At work yesterday, a co-worker was telling me a story about a former roommate of his, and used these terms as a descriptor/punchline: Black Republican Juggalo.

We have to remember not all our skin-folk are our kin-folk. I’ve had to cut a couple people out my lives because they have some really ignorant thoughts when it comes to Mexicans or just, in general, some sort of ‘otherism’. It breaks my heart, but after repeatedly trying to talk sense with them, it never seemed to…

He bumped into a toddler? Toddlers walk like they’re on a tightrope. When they’re at knee level it can be hard for a able bodied person to avoid them. A 92 year old is probably just as shakey as the toddler.

I think this is also a result of the ever-growing attitude that if someone’s child feels threatened, “mama bear” has a right to beat, kick, maim or murder, without even having any facts or waiting for an investigation. In this case, it was probably a case of that combined with straight up racism. Everyone involved in…

“We’ve seen this community change,” Linda Krakora said. “If we were racists, we would have moved out of Maple Heights a long time ago, but we didn’t. We stayed.”

Damn! I was hoping that black folk wouldn’t be the fools involved in this. But there you go. Every race has their share of embarrassments.

Damn, sometimes we act like just like those who would do the same thing to us.
