    It should also not be where “people” are enjoying a leisurely brunch.

    And I would like to know if they allow white students to have highlights.

    They are too busy making bullshit statements like referring to racial equality as “a basic moral principle that was for a long time in this country, conventional wisdom...That was the standard and for a long time almost everybody in america believed it or claimed to believe it” to google anything.

    Yeah, if the school were mostly white they would just forbid all common black hairstyles on an ad-hoc basis.

    Also, isn’t university accreditation binary? You’re either accredited or not? Are any colleges “just barely accredited”?

    I don’t know...a white person voting on who’s the worst white people...isn’t that kinda like...well, it’s like a person from a large city on the east coast voting in a jello salad contest. Sure, you can have an opinion, but you don’t quite have the perspective on jello salad that a Midwesterner has. You’re just not

    Even though I obviously as a white person don’t participate in this, I still read the matchups with interest. It’s sobering to realize that there was so much needless police-calling that they took up so much of the board that White Allies didn’t even get in the tournament.

    The spokesperson’s reply is kinda like what those people who make self-driving cars keep saying: “We told you to stay awake and not watch movies! How were we supposed to know you wouldn’t use it as we intended???

    Well, I may be misinterpreting things and I haven’t read the whole thing, but in this particular bill, it talks about “preventative detention”, e.g., “...may not use preventive detention if an alternative measure is sufficient to ensure a court appearance and public safety.” So that suggests to me that

    Most people don’t want a warrant for their arrest hanging over their head. Most people who either did something minor or are accused of doing something minor would probably rather just get it taken care of right away. And honestly, if it’s something like shoplifting or similar, I’d really rather a few people not show

    from REALitystrike: “you mean stolen by your own people, right?”

    There are people who have been working at putting a price on reparations. People who have worked on figuring out the economics between just how much of our current economic prosperity is due to the stolen black labor that made up the foundation of the house. TLDR: yes, a dollar amount is calculable; no, the *economic*

    Now playing

    It depends. Is there a t-shirt black people can wear in order to not get caught up in “Call the cops on a black person” last five centuries? Well, according to Harrison Booth, I suppose it would probably be a nice button-down.

    Right? If you’re calling the cops because your car broke down...what, are they going to arrest your car for insufficient function? They’re more likely to give you a ticket for “parking on the side of the road”...unless they’re your cousin, I suppose.

    Yeah, if skipping grades and being young negatively affect one’s chances for a scholarship, that scholarship is set up wrong!

    A lot of the comments I’ve read on this article and the previous one about the marijuana reparations one keep making me think of the “Can You Not” PAC, which has as its stated goal, dissuading people from positions of privilege from running. The focus is on white men, but you can extend that to us white women. Yes,

    We absolutely do accuse each other of being gentrifiers. Sometimes it is in the context of asking ourselves whether we are gentrifiers, but sometimes it is in the context of distinguishing ourselves from those other bad white people in “our” neighborhoods.

    It is amazing how quickly Lisa Cupid collected her thoughts into an effective and compelling statement even though you can see she was feeling much more emotion than she stated.

    Yeah. I’ve heard of plenty of laws that target homeless people, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one that protected them...

    I suspect it’s more that the same actions that white people have always been taking are just getting more attention. None of this is new.
