I live in Portland, Oregon, where the two white mothers who drove their kids of the cliff had been part of the progressive community here. On Facebook, after the tragedy, people (mostly women, some of whom I know personally) were engaging in long postings and comment threads describing how terribly “stressed out”

You see the same, as mentioned above, with the white murderers - they shoot and kill many people, often after years of violent/racist rhetoric, membership of hate groups, and past aggression, but white people want to talk about mental illness. Yet when a black man is murdered for selling cigarettes, white people want

Implicit bias has shown up gruesomely in the past few weeks in (white) reactions to the six black children killed by their two mothers. The responses of many white people have been to scramble for ways to elevate the “humanity” of Sarah and Jessica Hart and emphasize what “loving, selfless parents” they were.

That’s what being an ally is. Listening, asking, “what can I do to help” and then ACTUALLY DOING IT

“However, most white Americans are raised to accept authoritarianism. So besides the implicit racial bias, there is a deeply ingrained belief that if ‘the law’ does it, it cannot be wrong.”

No “however”, don’t minimize or justify. The vast majority of white people don’t give a tiny shit about poorly how nonwhite people are treated in this country, or any other.

I wouldn’t count on it. Her internal electronics weren’t designed for that.

Yeah, doesn’t stain Becky’s veneers...

Oh, I haven’t even looked at the greys yet. Caucasian tears ahoy!

No she has the face of someone who gets whatever she wants. And that alone disgusts me.

I listened to almost a minute of it. It’s slowed down, there’s a shitload of banjo, and she changed 21st of September to 28th of September — at Lainey Gossip they speculate that’s a significant date for her and her current boyfriend. Anyway, I gave it as long as I could, but only so that I could talk shit about it

You should definitely fuck off because your pearl clutching is older than any cookout joke and you sound like someone who doesn’t season their food.

Of course they do, because it tastes like nothing.

She has all the curves of a FedEx box, it’s true.

and she’s consistently mediocre af

There’s a whole SiriusXM station of colonized covers. This morning I’ve heard a caucausianfied Killing Me Softly and pastiest When Doves Cry this side of an Elmer’s Glue factory. This is my hell. That said, Taylor’s cover would probably cause me to throw myself over the balcony so I’m just gonna say “Not today, White

The Xanax and red wine suburban mix

Taylor Swift needs her ass whooped

Oh no! You will not make me listen to this white nonsense! I will not do it and I’m still declaring this to be trash. You don’t have to listen to the snake herself to know this is garbage. What’s next? Will we have her potato salad foisted on us too? No ma’am!

So, I don’t hate it, though that probably has to do with the fact that I’m always interested in how artists cover one another’s songs.
