My early childhood included lots of friends but barely any who shared the same skin color as me. And TMNT was, by far, the main thing we all bonded over. Regardless of whatever else we were into, we were all into those damn turtles. I don’t think I fully grasped why until just now.

Since racism exists along a spectrum, it would depend on exactly how one defines a White Supremacist. If we agree that there’s a difference between an office shitbag who tells outrageously offensive jokes and a card-carrying KKK member who would absolutely murder a person of color if given the chance, then where’s the…

To the point that he often sounds like he’s spewing pro-eugenics rhetoric, I think it’s the ‘intellectual’ root of his racism.

Incredible place to visit, can’t recommend it enough. If you’re planning on moving there though, just know that your overall odds of success are quite low. If you have a pet other than a cat or dog, you’ll need to be willing to leave them behind. If you don’t have a degree or at least 5+ years experience in a field…

White dude here who is supporting the boycott. I think it’s a lot of other folks you could be reaching, too. Y’all need to keep writing and posting about this like every day of this NFL season, the articles need to come from a lot more writers and from a lot more sites. It’s still a weird amount of folks who simply…

Sexual assault is a crime though, right? Was there any charges or was he convicted of... anything?

I blame whitey as well.

The infinite scrolling is awful, period.

That’s unbelievable! I mean I’ve never ever EVER said the n-word into a microphone.

I love how cops can gun down a 12 year old black boy and it takes 4 years and an act of congress for anything to happen. But wrongfully detain a white woman just one time...

Aw... boo hoo somebody has to go to work...

Nelson Mandela disagreed with you all the way back in 1995.
