This is never about assimilation. These are fascist-driven tactics that are used to drive people out. Think of pogroms in the Middle Ages and onwards.

I’m a grad student and a UAW member and I could not be happier about it. All unions are imperfect, but I have a safety net and a support system that help to guarantee my rights as an employee of this institution. If you’re going to base this whole funding thing on employment with the university, how am I supposed to…

“The benefits they receive far outweigh any advantage the University receives from student-performed teaching or research,”

Ugh, I have no patience for the the feminists who are pro this ban. It’s as not okay to force a woman out of certain clothes as it is into them. And also, it won’t work. Make it so that I can only go swimming if I’m dressed not to my religious standards and I just won’t go swimming.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité, JK.

‘Beyond race’ makes me itchy out of the gate, but this time it’s really important we keep this finding in context. The report mentions BPD does most of their police work (laugh) in an area populated by mostly black amd brown people; these sexual assault victims are likely to be in that same demographic.

You can be married to a black woman and still be a racist. It happens a lot. Viewing an entire racial or ethnic group as inherently inferior while simultaneously viewing them as sexualized fetish objects is a basic component of racism. Just ask Thomas Jefferson.

Yeah, I kind of expected more from Samantha Bee. The overwhelming majority of people who supported Bernie are firmly planted in Hillary’s camp. But there’s way more focus on the minority who are so Pro-Bernie they’re actually Anti-Bernie.

This is an excellent way to unite the party, by relentlessley making fun of Bernie’s supporters, calling them “Bernie Bros”, children, spoiled, racist and by cherry picking one or two hold-outs and acting as if that’s all his supporters, despite poll after poll showing Hillary pulling in 90% of us, far more than the Hi…

Jon Stewart would never do a bit like this because he had a sense of empathy and a basic respect for humanity. It’s why he never seemed to be punching down — even when he brutally took people to task. He always made sure he was making fun of people for the right reasons.

These are the kinds of threads and comments that make me really hate reading Jezebel sometimes. I’m not a white male, and I’d be chanting right alongside those people if I were at the convention. I guess the voices of non-white, non-male protesters don’t count. They are literally never acknowledged. It’s been this way…

1.3 million INDIAN soldiers served in World War One — yes, ONE!!! It wasn’t all white men. There were 4 million colonial troops in total, BTW.

1914-1918 was peak colonial Europe. Europeans used Asian and African conscripts to help fight in WWI, the French the most famously with something like half a million Africans, some in segregated units, some in integrated or “amalgamated” units.

The British and French Empires called pretty heavily on colonial forces.

Oh silly me! I forgot people of color didn’t spontaneously burst into existence in Europe until AFTER 1945.

lol way to dodge the point. whether its ww2 or ww1 (yet to be determined) there have ALWAYS been black, latino and asian people in america and europe. plus a lot of ww1 fighters were from africa or the indian subcontinent. are you trying to tell me out of the thousands of african nationals died listed here that they…

The difference between this Tory and David Pigfun Cameron is that her anti-immigration, Human Rights Act-repealing, Iraq war-sponsoring behavior is at once more right-wing and less assailable than his. She’s beyond reproach—the champion of the new European model.

We’re f*****.

Yeah, if you like neoliberal educational policies like charter schools.
