I’m black and I think that’s a really absurd way of thinking about the push for diversity. It’s incredibly limiting to think that each person should only fight for the success of and draw attention to the struggles of the group they belong to.

“Your job doesn’t stop until you’re voted out, or until your term expires,” Obama said of the Senate,

I’ve lived just outside Houston my entire life, minus going off to college, and I approve this message. No matter where you live there are idiots that make your town/state/country look bad, we just seem to have a lot of them around here.

And now we have people protesting at a kindergarten and possibly arson? Seriously, who are these people? And selfishly, as a white…

Canada has a defense minister?!
