You gravely underestimate the animus of racism, how far it will go and the banality of evil (how everyday, ordinary people do it and think little of it).

“If a non-handicapped person is using the parking space or stall that’s designated for a handicapped person and making them wait, they should absolutely be confronted about it and shamed for being an asshat.”

Just had to remark on that pic...are Black women so far outside the minds of Black men? That doesn’t look like a dystopian prison, those chicks would be the first to die in any catastrophe or the cause of it! But when Kanye took his first meetings about this campaign, I’ll guess it was fully all white but couldn’t he…

Did someone tell you, dad or grandma that as soon as she got a handicap pass, you’d never be annoyed again? Did they say that by dint of your grandma’s disability, everyone in your family would become sanctified saints and everyone they met would be also? Your dad has gotten the finger on the highway, he didn’t give…

China is trying a new a new Social Credit program that tries to do exactly what you outlined. But you’d have to have more of a surveillance state as well as a population actually concerned with personal honor, ethics and reputation.

Imperfect people share his planet so everyone needs to be tolerant and accepting and just OVERLOOK trivialities and slight inconveniences! It’s when you think you have superior status that problems like this occur. White people are being shown how guilty of this they are, collectively. Similarly, disabled people think…

One big reason that this article barely touches on is Ms. Tlaib’s focus on her Palestinian heritage/sympathies raising alarms in a region housing the largest Middle Eastern population in the country (Dearborn). It’s great to be proud of where you originated but the district is largely Black. Who will be her priority?…

Nothing sets me off on a rant more than a white person saying, “I don’t see color” within a 200 sq ft of me! Can you PLEASE see my color and just not think you’re superior to me?! Thanx! 

The funniest thing, other than recasting Jesus as a Scandinavian, U.S. Fundamentalists have also unwittingly cast themselves as the Pharisees and Sadducees of the New Testament and don‘t even see it. The Fundies, sitting in plenty, and surety of righteousness always forget WHY Jesus came to Earth and HOW He did it:…

Again, must every criticism with Black folks include throwing down the Big Joker “But he made his paper tho!”?!? Do the ends ALWAYS justify the means?

But does electrolysis work to remove gray/silver hair on dark brown skin? I’ve heard only certain lasers can do it but even those just make dark marks and the hair doesn’t actually disappear/stop growing.

Agreed, Boston and the Boston area (despite having never been to Buffalo) are the worst and their flat, deadpan, marble-mouthed accent coupled with their propensity for cursing is enough to make you taste sulphur in your throat! Worked for a company HQ’ed out of West Bridgewater. The Controller regularly cursed on…

Nah he didn’t BECOME abusive, he always planned to be, was and is. Predators choose their victims for first low self-esteem, poverty and exploitable, isolating life issues, then pre-courtship and courtship displays of niceness/sweetness (codename for submissiveness) and lastly knowing her place (aka cooking/cleaning,…

Wonder why he thought doing ANYTHING to her VAGINA would qualify as a prank?!?! Was it because a) it’s only a vag, portal of life, not important, or b) she was a cancer survivor, not going to be using it for a while or c) vaginas belong to the husband anyway so why not use it to send him something to brighten his day?

I tend toward long-windedness so I threw out only some of my mntal rabbitholes - thought experiments I do when I’m stressed.  But believe me I belonged to Amnesty International for years and know a little about a lot of the hidden crap countries do to their own so I can extrapolate. Like you, I’m a realist but the…

There’s one group of people who live in a state of delusion and fantasy. They gathered together to construct, if not a world, an entire country based on their delusion. These people count on their brethren to perpetuate and uphold the delusion even if it means fabricating it, deleting the truth and completely re-framin…

Because they count on peace-loving, moral people holding some things sacred like human life and places of worship.

Been thinking about what decisive victory over bigotry and racism would look like. A 28 Days Later virus wiping out 50-70% of medium and high level Beckys and Toms only? What about Kanyes, Candaces, or multiracial half-haters or immigrant bigots? Is Armed insurrection feasible given we can’t collaborate on even…

The phrase “we will know ye by your fruit” comes to mind so by your own account, “repeated, (multiply) appropriative, apologized for SOME” is enough. Instructing your marketing team to write some letters to get a drug-dealing woman out of jail cuz she’s old now just doesn’t cleanse my palate. Even woke critical…

The first order of business is a Cease and Desist Order for every.single.sex.scene where the standing man and woman are in the midst of it with her legs wrapped around the standing man’s waist and he turns and slams her back against the wall! It’s always to show how frenetic and immediate their passion is but I can’t…
