IT ... DOESN’T ... MATTER! Your pathetic attempt to twist this around is flat out dishonest, and you’re only digging yourself deeper with a very “trumpesque” attemtp to “revise” what you clearly implied. That bitch in blue hit first, and that’s NOT equivocal. SHE was the aggressor and deserved every punch she got.

Why is it that some people think bitching about small steps forward is productive? You fight a war one battle at a time. How about instead of complaining that one battle didn’t win the war, you take each gain, however stumbling it may be, and recognize it as what it is ... one step closer to the goal. All you are…

It was legal in Nazi Germany to gas Jews. Are you okay with that?

What you say is true ... but only emphasizes how critical it is for white people to take a stand. We can no longer allow others to claim “it’s not my problem” and then claim they aren’t racist. There IS NO moral ambiguity in this issue! We ALL have a responsibility to combat racism in whatever way we can, period.

Sorry, but if someone is “willing to look past racism,” they are a RACIST, period. This is NOT an equivocal issue. There is a clear moral imperative for ALL of us to combat racism to the best of our abilities. Those who don’t need to turn in their “human being” card and go live in hole somewhere until they evolve.

.... bunch, not buch

So these assholes, then, will be soaked in blood, sawn in half, dunked into a flaming caudron of oil, then ground into bits in a stone mile to put the flames out before the demons lather, rinse, and repeat... couldn’t happen to a more deserving buch

Love it! How sad it is that so many trumplodytes think he was a role model....

And exacty what IS it you think he’s trying to accomplish, other than scapegoating and stirring up hate to facilitate his puppetmasters’ fascist agenda? Please tell me you don’t seriously think a criminal like that orange, bloviating, hateful POS is in any position to determine who is a “criminal.” Funny how the alt…

First, there is no such thing as utopia. Second, assuming that these haters represent all of Norway is the same as assuming that trumplodytes represent all Americans, never mind that he lost the general election by the largest margin in recent history. Hatred and ignorance doesn’t have a race or nationality. It is…

Bravo! Like you, I have taught higher education for years, also in English. I also teach dual enrollment for high schools, and you hit every one of my own points about the profound lack of preparation I see in my incoming students! The only thing I would add is that not only is their deficit in composition a result of…

It is here . I’m not saying everyone in my area does this, but enough people do that it’s noticeable when they are together in a group. I think a lot of people miss the fact that so much of the liberal/conservative divide is really an urban/rural divide, and this particular fetish is a predominantly conservative trick…

I know, right? And I have to wonder how many on here saying it doesn’t happen are 1) simply oblivious to it because they aren’t paying attention, 2) not hanging with the uber conservative kids, or 3) pursuing their own agenda, i.e. defending Texas because the op was rather broadly formulated, as in could be…

Are you always an a-hole, or just when something doesn’t suit your agenda? I LIVE in deep red Texas and have witnessed this kind of shit plenty of times! Just because you haven’t experienced it personally, you are not the end all and be all here. Seems YOU are the one with a “political narrative” in mind, as in…

That’s the case. I do know for everyone on here saying they never noticed it, I can point to at least 10 people who fetishize this. I posted about this above. I think it’s likely that those saying it’s not an issue simply move in circles where hard core conservatives are not highly concentrated.But as a teacher, I do…

My anniversary is, but was ours first, so the terrorists can go eff themselves.

Maybe in Houston, but try deep red Texas. I live in a uber conservative area, and here’s what I see qua the kids I teach: the more conservative mom and pop are, the more likely junior not only “knows about” 911, the more likely what he “knows” is distorted. I’ve heard everything from which Ayatollah (which they can’t…

Except you are ignoring the very REAL consequences of a society sanctioning such behavior. If it stopped at infantile stupidity like this, that would be one thing, but it doesn’t. It escalates into action, as we are seeing much more frequently in the current, toxic environment. Normalizing such actions by trivializing…

You win the internet for the day!

Exactly!
