**crickets**

You’re absolutely correct. None of those tests will be done, or if they are, they’ll be “lost,” but you’re right, it would be an easy check. Unless it turns out Sarah Wilson was white AND rich. Then it might be a different story. Somebody will get some paid leave over the execution then. That’ll show ‘em, boy howdy.

Knowing white privilege, he will fail upwards while Kapernick is still out of a job.

Hillary Clinton was a centrist and she still lost to Donald Trump. Barrack Obama was not a white man and yet won two elections against white men. Please excuse me if I don’t trust your assessment . . .

You missed the memo, cdwag14. We give zero fucks about the “feelings” of Fox News, race-baiting bloggers, and of white people in general. Copy that??

I was hoping I could unread this post, but now I struggle to come up with a way to unsee this picture. Thank you for that.

Bless his heart.

“They’re blowing this whole thing out of proportion,” said Malcolm Abbott outside the home that overlooks the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “I believe everyone has a right to go to college, man.”

$500K non-cash bail they’re back in the house by now uncorking some chardonnay to drive the blues away while the lawyer vultures circle overhead.

That’s the point that a lot of folks are missing here. It’s not quite “rich people cheating their way in,” it’s not-rich-enough people having to scam a game they can’t afford the tickets to play in.

Since the ultra rich are being criticized, we should expect to be told we are jealous by poor people who Stan for the rich in every matter. Any minute now. Jealous.

That’s the ‘right’ way to bribe your kid into college. Even the guy who did the scam with the celebrities admitted to it

The white parents aren’t the only reason they don’t do it like that. As you say, it’s either a negligently unconscious or a deliberately evil reinforcement of one historical power dynamic (even as it also leaves out the successful rebellions, which is negligent instruction in itself).

You know why.  It’s either negligently (ignorantly) or deliberately traumatizing the kids and the minute a set of parents of color takes a wealthy school system for everything they’ve got because the “teacher” inflicted IIED on the kids, it will stop.

Westchester is not that far upstate.

“It was taken out of context.” nowadays means “I really don’t enjoy being called out on it.”

It’s interesting that we’re getting to see the linguistic shift of the phrase “out of context” in near real-time. It now seems to mean “entirely in context,” or perhaps, “knowing the context wouldn’t make a spit of difference.”

What the motherfucking fuck?

We keep hearing stories about teachers having “slave auctions” or giving kids cotton to pick or other things ostensibly done to point out to the students that slavery was bad.
