Can’t we just get these two to steal it in the middle of the night and be done with it?

Unhinged comment: Our country’s culture was destroyed along with the twin towers on 9/11.

In six decades, I’ve never heard any pejorative directed at white people that affects me in any way. “Honkey”? that’s just silly. “Cracker”? so what. “Wypipo”? ha ha, cool, but who cares?

Thank God for you and the Root to finally see who are the truly oppressed in this country. As a white person, I continually have to watch what I say. I can’t demean any person of another race, not one, without fear someone’s going to object. I could lose my job and hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual salary…

Dude, the medical community has some serious issues. I never go to the doctor, have only been to the ER twice in 25 years. My knee just basically quit working a few weeks ago and was in crazy pain so I went to the ER. In the hour and half or so I was there I was told by four separate people they wouldn’t be able to…

This is some damn good Kinja right here. Always a good day when I learn something on The Root.

Michael, thanks for the kind words to Penley.

The best thing a white parent can do to explain to their kids the injustice that people of color suffer is just to try and explain it to them.

So, like, I’m not biblical scholar or anything either; I just have a free bible app on my phone. But in addition to using this passage to justify authortarian bullshit, it also proves that these people don’t actually read or study anything from it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve been trying to get my fellow white people to accept that there are so many shade to the racist rainbow from egg shell to blindingly bleached white. I reluctantly self identify as a racist, though not of the tiki torch variety. I’m just a white guy who knows that, try as I might, I…

I don’t want it “normalized.” The word is supposed to sting; we’re not supposed to be in the business of devaluing the word by making it overly common.

“You can’t call these people racist, it demonizes them and makes them shut down” is the battle cry of every well-meaning white person who says they want equality but also doesn’t want their grandpa to stop cracking racist jokes at Thanksgiving because “that’s just how he is”.

I love the internet.

But do you think someone who’s like 38 years old would really change all that much by the time they’re 48? Realistically?

Yeah, I just responded to another comment saying the same thing. We’re all vastly different people now than we were ten years ago. It doesn’t necessarily excuse her from writing it (I don’t excuse myself from the problematic shit I wrote when I was 21), but it does need proper context and the knowledge that…

They aren’t any more or less angry than anyone else.

Mr. Young. I had never read anything you have written before, but I had to read your commentary twice, even three times, to see if I was getting it. You are saying Roseanne is a “normal regular white woman” and that all “normal regular white” women are for Trump? Am I misreading you? And that you expect this sort of…

Houston, we have a problem...

I know it’s not exactly the same, but as a fat white woman it feels really familiar to me too.

This...
