Too few people remember that there was a time when “Quattro” meant “Banned from motorsport because you fuckers keep winning everything”

Had a girlfriend who was torn between black and silver, I suggested silver she decided on black- first winter she had the car geese would stand on it to keep their feet warm and poo all over it- it burned the clearcoat in nice goose log shapes

I find no entertainment in Dilbert anymore now that I know Scott Adams is a raging asshole

Inspections also have the effect of causing people to fix all the minor things they let slide all the time. Things that individually aren’t a big deal, but when added together can have a real effect.

I can only give my personal point of view as a white male in my 30s, but hopefully it applies to more people than just me.

For myself specifically? No. I’m just asking that people let there be a right answer. Everything white people do can’t possibly be wrong.

Exactly.  In theory, anybody can make a fatal spur-of-the-moment decision.  But six damn minutes clearly hurting a helpless man *while people tell you to stop* is not just murder, it’s torture.  

Great article, loved the central metaphor.

I can only speak for myself, but no. I am not going anywhere. I am here to listen, learn, be better, be an ally and stand up for the Black community. I can also say that books like “The New Jim Crow,” “White Rage,” “White Fragility,” and “How to be an Anti-Racist” are flying off the bookshelves (and can be downright…

Part of the reason that racism persists is that white people don’t do anything about it.

The idea that a religion forbids a type of food seems strange to me, but you do you. As for white people, I’m not sure what you expect a lot of white people to do. I know the stereotype of white folks all living in gated communities and only wandering out to look woke is what you think we are, but what about the 20…

Is it not possible for white people to react the same way, to just have had enough? To be tired and angry and sad about the constant stream, the constant news, the constant killings? Why does it have to be just one thing?

“Where did all these anti-racist white people come from?”

Michael,

As the permanently greyed-out white guy maybe I’ll throw in some perspective from “the other side”. Yes- I will freely admit that I will never be able to fully comprehend what its like to be a person of color in today’s racist America. There are some whom seem to want to “get it” but really don’t. So that’s one thing.

…

Thank you. I’m like where did VP Biden lie? He didn’t. There are some folks that mean well but aren’t articulate when it comes to certain subjects. He’s one of them. 

And, BTW, for the millionth time:

Nice car, but definitely too high. Someone who has been drinking his own Kool Aid.

Well said. But I’m going to judge the hell out of these people. I have two parents in their 70s, both of whom have preexisting conditions that puts them at even further risk, and a wife who is immunocompromised. So fuck people like Dan Patrick who say there are “more important things than life”. What they really mean…
