A gentleman does not “pound” a yam. He puts it in an oven on high heat and let it bake for an hour until it screams and oozes its sugary goodness.

Yes! I’m only really knowledgeable about education because that’s where I live, but absolutely the privatization movement is about sorting out less privileged kids so that the rest (i.e. more privileged* * definition varies based on where you are) won’t sully the rest.

You forgot the mandatory “Fuck Pat McCrory.” Seriously, that guy is a piece of shit. I grew up in Wilmington and miss home but that guy makes me happy that I don’t live there anymore.

I thought I was good to go with dinner and a movie with the wife on Valentine’s Day.

I can’t even begin to put into words how much these protests have uplifted me. I’ve been following along all day and this is probably the happiest I have felt since before the election. Not just from seeing people of all genders, races, and sexualitys protesting together all over the country but also internationally.…

“I’m trying to get Donald Trump out of the White House,” Mitchner says, adding that he worries that Trump’s policies could involve cutting food stamps and other assistance to people who need help. “It will hurt people of color. It’s going to hurt me and my children. It’s going to help everyone.”

My girlfriend entered the contest and I told her if there’s any yam pounding I want in on it, and I’m totally straight. Idris, call me?

If my girlfriend won, I wouldn’t even really be upset if she pounded his yams.

Talk about African dishes...

By how much do we think he beats W’s record for “fewest press conferences in the modern era?”

I just want all the Trumpicans to stop pretending that they’re anything other than what they are. If you’re going to look me in the eyes and knife me in the guts, don’t make me listen to you saying that you’re giving me a tummy rub. At least show me enough respect to admit that you’re knifing me in the guts.

One thing to look forward to:
Trump built this insanely massive building on the South Florida beach property, it’s horrible and blocks out the sun from residents who have been living there for decades.
However, since he obviously doesn’t believe in climate change, Mr. expired cheeto probably doesn’t also believe that…

As a white dude I was so ready to be mad at this, until I read the last bit:

This comparison between BP Richfield and Trump is scary accurate, and reminded me of the same kind of laugh-crying I did at this piece.

I have been meditating 3x a day to stay calm. I am hoping by the time they figure out what they need to do, four years will be done. I know it is wishful thinking, but need to keep optimism alive.

You forgot Respectability Politics will be the official govt reach out effort to minorities. It’s already started in the comments section.
