I grew up in Michigan and lived my entire life in the Midwest and I’ve never saw anyone in blackface (in real life . . . obviously I’ve seen plenty on the internet).  Of course I saw white people doing OTHER racist things, but not this particular one.  People have different life experiences.

I mean I guess that depends on your background and where you live.  HIV is pretty fucking rare in the US so I’m not sure why you would choose that test in particular.

I didn’t decide for you.  I didn’t write an article with a headline that says, “STOP doing this thing!”  The world is a disgusting place, friend.  You can’t avoid it.

Oh yeah.  You’ve eaten your share of poo.

I’m sure a lot of people do racist shit knowing it is racist, and hurtful, and wrong. But there are A LOT of white people who don’t know. I’m white, mid-30s, and progressive. I actively seek out content like this to learn more about racial issues. I think I learned about blackface like 4 or 5 years ago. At first I…

Yeah but then think of all the carriage accidents we’d have to clean up.  Not to mention the horse shit.

Meh. I think it shows masochism.

Obama wasn’t president in 2008 and when he became president THE FOLLOWING year he steered out country out of a fucking recession.  Fuck off with your “democrats are bad too” shit.

No but I touch public surfaces with my hands all the time and I’m not losing my goddamn mind about that.

These articles are so irritating (and yet I clicked another one!).  We all touch millions of germs every day!  There is fecal matter ALL AROUND US!  It’s fine.  Everything’s fine.  

. . . Did the runner hurt you?

German female first names were pretty popular in the U.S. . . . until WW1.

Do you think Donald Trump or a a single person in his orbit gives a flying fuck about credibility?

Meh.  I’m a heavy Amazon Prime user.  I have an Echo.  I use google maps and Uber a LOT.  Kind of a lost cause at this point.

I deleted Facebook and all other social media . . . but kept Instagram. My feed is nicely curated and I find I am generally in a better mood after a 10-minute scroll. I’m not going to wring my hands over the fact that Facebook (via Instagram) knows I like puppies, knitting, and Nat Geo.

If there were, it would be eaten up by one of the big guys as soon as it became popular enough . . . and then it would be just as bad as Facebook and Instagram.

Hillary lost therefore the scads of reports of Facebook being used as a very effective tool for massive disinformation campaigns must be false!

See what your friends & family are up to. See cute/funny animals. See fashion. See art (photography, comics, woodworking, pottery, etc.).

I’ll bet they used Bing.
