The course title is clearly referencing WEB Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk (1903), wherein DuBois uses the refrain “how does it feel to be a problem?” to refer to the condition of being black in the US. Flipping the script makes people pay attention when they ordinarily wouldn’t think about an issue at all. Which…

“I wonder if his course covers how a white guy becomes a professor of African Cultural Studies?

“Whiteness” is a construct designed by a particular group of people in order to exclude particular other groups and deny them their rights. It has been used to mean or to exclude a variety of people of varying skin tones and ethnic backgrounds, depending on what was convenient at the time. “Blackness” is also a social…

Yeah, it’s almost as if you have to think more deeply about what the phrase means instead of taking it at its most literal interpretation. Like a university student.

I love that she’s aggressively challenging him on his bullshit. Chuck Todd could learn a thing or two from from her. We are going to need much more of this type of journalism in the next four years.

It brings me great comfort that Alec Baldwin keeps doing this impersonation with the sole purpose of getting under Trump’s skin.

One of those tweets...

These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

So he’s treating the President of the United States like a gym teacher treats a fat kid?

Newsflash; people who can’t tell they’ve been conned surprised when it turns out they’ve been conned.

I’m glad that the law has finally stopped looking the other way with this bullshit.

He doesn’t even bother to attend his intelligence briefings, so there’s no way for anyone to tell him how much of an idiot he’s being. His whole administration will be governed by the seat of his pants.

So let’s imagine I got hired for a job. I interviewed, it went well enough, and I got offered the position. “You can start in two weeks! Welcome to the team!” Imagine in that two weeks, I ran over my new boss’s dog, set the office on fire, slept with my colleague’s wife, and sold some insider knowledge to my new…

I mean, he’s right, but not in the way he thinks he’s right.

I have to laugh that it’s always the left labeled special snowflakes when grown ass adult Trump supporters are fighting with Broadway, Starbucks and Kelloggs all at once. Boycott Froot Loops and Pop-Tarts!

“Health officials have clarified that miscarriages and abortions that occur at home will not be subject to these new disposal requirements. Moreover, birth and death certificates will not be required.”

Right? Also:

Why were the citizens of Bismarck, ND allowed to say “hey this pipeline might pollute are water. Don’t build it near is” but the standing rock tribe is being denied that same right

Dude give her a break, she was 22 years old in 2008. Just because you study something, just because you hear other people’s stories DOES NOT mean you will feel like those stories will apply to you one day. Maybe back then she really wanted fame. Maybe she doesn’t now because she’s literally almost an entire decade…

I’m not understanding the reason for the snark here?!?!
