That’s called “prejudice”. When The Root discusses *racism* they’re discussing institutionalized discrimination led by and perpetuated by wypipo.

A rat king is a collection of rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together by one of several possible mechanisms, such as entangling material like hair or sticky substances like sap or gum. The number of rats joined together varies from a few to as many as 32. Historically, the phenomenon is particularly…

The assumption is made that if you are white and reading this you are at least trying not to be like that. It’s working on your racism 101, avoid saying not all white people to any person of color anytime anywhere. Please try that and pass it on - it works, and it helps.

There’s only one General Butt Naked. It’s obviously unfair to defame all black people because just one out of all those millions and millions is a literally blood-thirsty psycho fraud like him. However, a solid majority of American white voters knowingly voted in 2016 to put a vicious, ignorant, incompetent racist…

If more than 50% of us voted for Trump, not sure you have to be fair...and the “fox news brand of whiteness” seems to be afflicting basically anyone over 50, and a good portion of young men too.

I’m a fellow white, and nah, we have to take this one. I mean, the majority of “us” voted for Tang the Conqueror. So the “not all white people” line is pretty weak. Sad to say, but yes, you can lump in Carlson with white people, to our eternal shame.

Yeah, no, sorry hon.

Well actually...

Hey you,

“It’s happening all over the country. No nation, no society has ever changed this much, this fast,”

Sorry, friend. That sucks. Even dudes who rerack everything else will leave a 45 on the overhead and incline press machines’ prongs, which are just high enough that a person under 5'4 would have a hell of a time getting them off safely, especially someone who lacked the upper body strength to move the 45 in the first…

I’m in the grays and don’t think this will ever be seen, but if you go to one of the big name nationwide gyms, you most certainly are being made fun of. People in those gyms lack discipline. Please look for a local gym where you will find like-minded people who are there to improve themselves, not to be seen in the…

I have to disagree with you here. I cancelled my membership at my old gym specifically because of this. While using the treadmill closest to the front counter, I could hear every comment that employees were making about the overweight members who came through the door. Things like “Why does he even bother?” and making…

its how he kept laughing for an extra beat or two that did it for me.

- she has a painful growth in her neck the size of a golf ball that was feared to be cancerous. She learned in November that the growth was benign but was flying home in the hopes of having it removed. She got the hamster as a way of coping with the cancer scare - hence the emotional support part.

The airline gave her a later flight for FREE, so she would have ample time to figure something out.

Seriously? Not that it matters at ALL but she actually did take the later flight and described agonizing for HOURS over her decision to flush a hamster. Pro tip: ask literally anyone in the airport to take your hamster home with them. It will take less than an hour to find a human with a better idea than flushing…

They flight they rebooked her on was NINE HOURS LATER - she couldn’t come up with a solution other than murder in NINE HOURS? Call a fucking Uber!

To each their own, but regarding choosing between naan and soda bread? I refuse. They are both delicious and serve different breadly functions.

Perfect timing—I live in Boston and the Irish bagpipers have just started.
