My grandpa was also stationed in the Pacific during WWII and all his photos from that time are priceless.

That’s my grandpa and abuelita, in their immigration photos, the first time around. I never met my grandpa—he died when my mom was 12 from a heart attack related to acromegaly, which, holy shit. Also here is my mom’s Tío Chencho, who was kinda like my default grandpa. HANDSOME MEN OF LA FAMILIA ESCOBEDO

Dad. Vietnam, 1968. He passed 3 years ago, so fathers day is still kinda rough. But thanks for the cheekbones and eyebrows, dad!!!

Here’s a great photo of my great-great-grandfather (not sure of the year; judging by his age/clothing I’d guess 1890s?). Gotta respect that epic ‘stache:

Why don’t I just go ahead and ignore your silly question.

I honestly don’t think he’s dumb. I think he’s had to repress every ounce of his black identity in the service of the corporation he works for. Though his black hole comment about the Malaysian airplane contradicts me.

He is NOT infallible in all his statements, this one being one of them, hence all the whining from conservative Catholic Republicans.

If her listing is an indicator of the kind of person she is, I would have dumped her, too. I would friend-dump her. She sounds dramatic and incredibly annoying.

Ugh. You did it again.

You’ve been taught that calling something white supremacist is extreme. It’s still meaningful to call our culture white supremacist. That’s the most powerful term to describe why 37% of America is non-white a much smaller percentage of leading role TV stars, executives, Congresscritters, local government members, and…

You’re welcome.

Race for black people in the U.S. is not just a social construct, it’s also our ethnicity and history. Race has two roles for black people in the U.S. but for most white people their ethnic identity and family history can be treated almost separately from race.

Fellow Dolezal enthusiasts, I have a treat for you! It is a series of YouTube videos called “Rachel Dolezal (2014) talking about her experience as a ‘black woman.’”(Sorry I can’t link directly, I’m on my phone.) There are five videos, their total length is about 50 minutes, and they are GLORIOUS. Are they loaded with…

Because they were contacted by a reporter who was doing a story on her not being black.

With every comment from you, I fall more and more in love.
