I was upset about another issue...so I repeatedly called someone a nigger? Sure, that makes sense. 

WTF was she thinking? She has an active IG account of her handling large containers, cooking large vats of food with her hands while standing,  dancing, and being completely ambulatory in other photos and videos.

Fox News is going to reference this until the end of time.

This is just the sister system of the for-profit prison complex. They need bodies to keep it going, but not bodies that cost too much money. I could launch into a long, personal story about how our former governor was in bed with the for-profit prison and half-way house corporations and increased incarceration rates…

The scariest tranche isn’t the apologists, but the people who think the vulgar rhetoric and schoolyard-bully interpersonal style (never mind the messages being conveyed) are good things.

... This is one of those situations in which there are no heroes.

That cry has always been “They might treat us as we treat them!”

“we don’t want what happened to them to happen to us...but uh, we didn’t do that stuff to those people, they oppressed themselves because of...laziness? ya gotta hear both sides”

The irony of that sign in the first picture “Wake up white man. You are a minority by 2042".

I saw the video yesterday and two things came to mind.

I know I’m gonna get treated like a gray, I don’t even know why I’m saying this, but this guy straight up said it’s NOT on minorities to solve racism:

“I’m going to really hate myself for saying this...”

... empathy from the people that we least deserved it from ...

He went a little ‘Jedi’ on you at the end, there...

I’m not judging her. The system is bullshit. I have student loans myself. I’m very aware of them, though, so it’s hard for me to imagine not paying them and not realizing that I hadn’t paid them. I’d imagine you’d get both phone and written notification if you were defaulting or in danger of defaulting.

Absolutely! That’s why they say it.... “The America we know and love” implies “The American that Americans know and love”, i.e. “we don’t really consider the rest of you to be The Real America”.

A brief history of Americans (and proto-Americans) bemoaning new waves of immigrants besmirching the demographics of the United States:

Your partner can find them unsexy. That’s fine, as long as they still finds YOU sexy and doesn’t dictate what kind of undergarments you wear. I’m not a huge fan of my husband’s loose cotton boxer shorts (I’m a sleek boxer briefs fan myself, especially on his tall lean frame) but he’s not about that life. He’s still…

As we have seen time and again: Black children are not viewed as children by the justice system or white society.

Or, to an 11 year old girl, a strange man taking an uncomfortable interest in what you are doing.
