So a politician’s answer instead of the truth.

That would be a bad response no matter the format. How is anyone in politics suppose to pretend, with a straight face, that they are unaware of the racial disparities in policing in America? And then follow up with “I’ll get back to you once I’ve learned more?” If you’re running for office you better already be aware. 

Spoken from the throne of entitlement. If it doesn’t bother you, it shouldn’t bother anyone else. Let them eat cake!

The thing is..I can probalby buy that she had no intention of literally depicting black children being hanged. What kills me is that at no point did she go: YOU KNOW, THIS KINDA LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING PRETTY TERRIBLE!!!

It’s the usual white entitlement: The belief that you are moral and good, and because of that,  you…

How about we just skip all noose-based decorations. 

“We’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works, that you can’t get over, you can’t get under.”

wendy Williams is an idiot and the embodiment of why trump is president in America. she at almost twice Markle’s age went around talking about how her husband made her a dog and pony show when that is obviously all she is good for.  I’ve never liked her and had no sympathy for her. after all, water seeks its own level…

In an America that has become so relentless ridiculous that I sometimes wonder whether I have been sucked into a parallel universe, this story ranks as one of the most ludicrous that I have ever seen. A “zero-tolerance” policy that calls for firing an employee for asking someone not to call them a racial epithet.

I’ve been wondering the same thing.  Though I’m even less hopeful than you.  If any discipline is doled out to the kid, I’d not be the least bit surprised if the slur didn’t factor into at all.  Like, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s disciplined for “insubordination” or some shit like tha, and not specifically the…

If you are a person of color, to some white people we are not people.  To these racists we have no inner lives, we have no feelings, we proceed, and have no existence that matters to them.

3 weeks?! No 5 year prison term? Damn, it’s good to be White!

Naw, he didn’t want to be black, they wanted to get the disadvantaged advantage.

They want to be black until it’s time to be Black. 

Maybe these preachers should go to their churches and just conduct their business within those walls. No need to join media businesses, nothing.

Not a dodge, and not gaslighting. Also, not an intelligent question. “I don’t know what the purpose is” reveals he didn’t pay attention. She was invited to speak about her book, like other authors have done before. So basically you’ve gotten everything wrong.

We’re only 12% of the population. Having allies amongst people of colour no matter their ethnicity, culture or country of origin is vital.  

If you don’t want white people to stand up and call out racism, to ridicule racists, to call attention to racists, to attack the racist beliefs and actions of white racists, what do you want of us? Should we stand aside and do nothing?

Why are these book burners even in college. I don’t think you need a degree or to be a racist or join some white supremacy group. If you are white and don’t realize you have privilege, maybe you are sheltered. If you get offended by the truth when exposed to it, there isn’t an excuse. I don’t know why it would make…

You touch - nay, brush - their privilege, and they shatter into a million little pieces in front of your eyes. Maybe the white students needs to go sign up with David Duke’s Book-of-the-Month club or something, where he or she will feel safer.
