The funny part is no one criticizes corporations that pay zero corporate taxes on how they spend their government handouts.  

And you JUST know that this bitch didn’t get his panties in a bunch over paying farmer’s NOT to grow crops or President Town Drunk’s hefty tax cuts to corporations and the top 1%. They can fuck the hell off...happy MLK Jr. Day!!!

Another random clown that looked at the headline and didn’t read the article.

Japanese Americans were paid $20,000, and were probably underpaid at that for the theft of their whole livelihoods. Imagine how much you’d have to pay Black American families to make up for hundreds of years of stolen livelihoods. There are assholes in Massachusetts right now worth millions of dollars whose 17th…

While this long fight for reparations for slavery goes forward, the reparations for the taxes blacks paid during legal segregation which thus financed it, should not be ignored. Many blacks still alive today, paid federal and local taxes that were then used to build schools, hospitals, libraries, parks, and other…

this is an excellent development.  More allies are needed to promote this highly important grievance for black Americans.

Right, none of the previous Democratic forerunners supported reparations. As usual, we’ll have to force them to get what we deserve. I think it will happen by setting a precedent in a court case showing how enslavement and Jim Crow impacts us today—how it impacts everyone for better and worse.

These days ‘politically moderate’ and ‘quiet, bland, normal’ are synonymous. Like how Biden was a return to normal, the status quo.

There’s a “nothing was unjust with Jim Crow America” grey down here poo-pooing at the idea that something might be causing the difference between racial mortgage denial rates.

This is less ‘News’ and more of a conversation that starts with, “Like I was saying...” And the line about AirBnB is exactly why I have never and would never use them. Not as long as Marriott is still a thing! I have friends who’ve traveled using AirBnB. Luckily, they’ve never had a TWB incident, but I always feel…

When I taught about the Dream speech I had students read the entire thing (which was already in the back of their textbook) and break down what injustices King was referring to, and to what extent each one had been addressed by now. People tend to remember the soaring oratory lines, but forget he was speaking against…

...except that he almost certainly didn’t mean “moderate” as in, politically moderate. He’s talking about someone calm, quiet, bland, average, typical, or “normal.” Someone with their blinders on who just walks through life without much curiosity, without asking many questions, without poking holes or getting…

In that thought I’m just wondering. So all these people that the fat orange man hate badly are gonna get primary’d, right? Why not just take the ship down with them like McCain did that one time (no, just that one time, fuck that “maverick his whole life” bullshit) and walk up for the floor vote and give McConnel the…

I feel like this need to be a linkable asterisk at the end of anything Kyrsten Sinema says.

In fairness, who doesn’t appreciate the soaring oratory of MLK evidenced in “Excerpts from Sealed Records of Illegal Wiretaps”?

This also goes for Kristen Synema (or however the fuck she misspells her name as I can’t be arsed to even try to spell it correctly,) Joe Manchin, and any other Dem who talks a lot of shit about voter rights but lets a racist ass undemocratic rule that allows people to throw tantrums and thwart the will of the…

As James Baldwin said “I don’t believe anything you say, because I see what you do.” I mean you could also have included Joe Manchin & Forever 16's favorite customer Kristen Sinema. I mean I plan on getting suspended from Twitter for calling out all of these clowns on Monday. Oh Tim Scott your sorry black gummed ass…

I’ll be alright if a Republican Senator posts an MLK quote... if he or she also votes in support of the Voting Rights bill that Sinema is scuttling.

Watch the FBI try post something. They know its not a good look, they just don’t care.

Not one Republican would have the self awareness to go with this, also from Birmingham Jail, but I think it’d be amazing to watch the takes fly. (Yes, that’s my measuring stick here. Because it’s social media and thus useless.)
