Nah, its not oxymoronic, as long as you are a 19th century Republican! It is the 21st century? Oh, wait...

Lord, please help Pittsburgh. It’s going through some shit.

I am lucky I moved to Crenshaw about 8 years ago. Prices have gone up crazy since then, I would be living in a shoe box if I bought today.

I don’t know if this holds true today, but there was an interesting study done in 2012 about how only white, male children get a positive self-image from watching TV. That has to be a pretty invisible example of privilege to most white people.

Middletown South High School, New Jersey, to give a specific example. It has A People’s History of the United States, by Howard Zinn, as a required textbook for AP US History, or at least it did when I was in Jersey. This speaks to the modern AP US History test, which has a strong focus on POC and women in its free…

I know Trump has had horrible cabinet members, but for my money Devos is the worst. Black college students are not smart enough to understand what you are trying to do? Dear Lord.

Reason...reason....uh, they are big fans of Billy Madison?

The issue is simple. White people have enjoyed advantages in US society since its inception. Having those advantages slowly chipped away makes them feel oppressed, even though the only situation they are in danger of one day falling into is equality in the eyes of society. They don’t see it like that. They see…

To clarify, I am saying the cop shouldn’t have done that. When I am saying, I cannot think of a situation where it makes sense, that means I am saying I cannot think of a situation where the cop’s actions were justified. The cop was wrong to do that, not matter what circumstance I can think of the cop was in the…

This is why I am begging people to do whatever you can and come out and vote in all elections. You want justice, put people in power who want it too, or at least more than the person they are running against. Baby steps towards justice.

I have been shopping wrong my entire life. I was under the impression that once you touched something you were required by the laws of common decency to purchase it. Will no one think of the social contract?

I have seen weirder things in life than cars parked in gyms. I am not justifying what happened. In my statement, I said that even in the case where the boy was bouncing a ball against a car window it would still be stupid to arrest them. Based on the information I have, the kid should not have been arrested, period.

I am not saying the officer was justified in this case. However, I am seriously wondering what the full story is because I have never heard of “wouldn’t stop dribbling” as something an officer would arrest anybody for. Was he bouncing the ball off of someone’s car window or at least something that makes it not sound…

I would call this a panic arrest. When a cop screws up royal they have to arrest you. Blaming the victim is their main move.

Luckily some people who don’t have family in the system have learned about it through John Oliver. If only the oppressed know about it, nothing gets done. Hopefully more people learn and some changes occur.

I am down with limit and curtail. If you were to abolish those systems you need to have a replacement in place. Until I hear of a workable one, I am going with limit and curtail.

So if you are anti NRA the key to stopping them is to put Republicans in power at the federal level and Democrats in power at the state level. Interesting.

I am white. I have taught history, at Crenshaw High School (which if you do not know has a large African-American student population). I have never, not even in the context of teaching history, ever used that word. I would ask students not to use soft letter a version of the word at school/in my presence because of…

Do the people attacking him ever realize that they are emphatically proving that the Redskins logo and name is offensive?  Moron racists on the prowl.

I have this problem with my wife. I try to tell her that I don’t want the government to hold our money, but she keeps on asking me to lower my withholding because we gave a little bit back this past year. What can you do?
