I tried to come up with some pithy remark that says: what learned, experienced and respected person is ever insulted by a universally-panned ignoramus? It doesn’t happen often where even your worse enemies call you stupid when all the evidence points to the contrary so I would probably stare searchingly then start…

A lot of these people are trying to imply that if we’d had a *real* shutdown, that domestic violence and suicide would have caused so many people to lose their lives.

Whiteness is a hell of a drug

It boggles my mind how some Americans can look at this despicable man, his behavior, his words and still say, “I choose him!”

I, too, believe that if we had taken the coronavirus seriously from the beginning and done what the scientists, doctors, and experts had suggested our death toll would be 500,000. That makes sense.

“There’s fried chicken so they get them some fried chicken on the way home and have dinner on that. Well, that’s the worst thing you can eat. I mean, it’s good—I love fried chicken, but that’s the worst thing you can do,”

He’s not only wrong, he’s really really wrong. Obesity disproportionately affects rural people more than urban people, on an order of about 10 percent. The statistics for black people you quote are actually quite similar to the stats for rural people. So “inner city” people (by which I guess he means black) and their…

Especially since Fried Chicken is a universally popular thing..

If you go to just about any country.. local and American chains (like KFC) dominate the market on “prepared foods”. Hell, for KFC (more specifically Yum Brands which includes KFC and others), China brings in the most money (and its not the 10-20 black…

You can talk a whole bunch about food deserts, getting fresh produce into the inner city and like community gardens or some shit, yet you choose to lean hard on the fried chicken angle. Jesus fucking Christ, dude!

I turn sixty-one next month. I’ve lived in a dozen cities in two countries. I’ve been assaulted once by a white tweeker for parking in “his” parking space, my house was burgled by a white man, and I had one fight with a black kid in junior high school over something so stupid I can’t remember it.

Rural Wisconsin white women take note:

Yeah, I thought the same thing. If the police don’t want ot be viewed as racist, maybe they shouldn’t position themselves as in direct opposition to black people, a la BLM. Way to self-own, I guess?

I think what we call cops answering domestic violence calls, they just call it going home to their wives and families.

Fragile little children.

It’s funny that that the position that Black people don’t deserve to be indiscriminately killed is “anti-police”

Seems to me that if people have less access to this sort of social support service, the police will end up having to go out on more domestic violence calls themselves. Those are their least favorite calls.

You said that, not me. I don’t see racism motivating Black people to kill white people with impunity being a common occurrence. I do see racism motivating white people to kill Black people with impunity being a common occurrence.

White people lose their minds over the stupidest shit.  All the actual injustices in the world, and the thing that inspires violent kidnapping plots is being asked to take the most basic of precautions during a global pandemic.

“Hello fellow freedom fighter! Tell me how you have been oppressed.”

Only one group institutionalized their color. And ingrained it into all their laws.
