The fact that he was allowed to run up that level of debt might be the whitest thing

My mom was born in the 1940s. She and my dad were believers that anything an authority figure said was to be obeyed. So when I faced bullying in school, from kids and a teacher, she wouldn’t do anything. She’d always tell me to ignore them and they’d go away. They didn’t. Fighting back made me just as bad as the…

If you went out of your way to look for trouble, found more than you can handle, and had to resort to gunfire, a claim of self-defense strikes me as morally weak and should be correspondingly legally weak. Whether it is, of course, is a good question.

Considering the Navy navigates vast oceans and rough seas, you’d think they’d be better at handling streams.

Sir...ma’am, this is a Wendy’s. 

But was it really ganja? 😸 The Jamaicans are notorious for selling fake weed. 

That one reminds me of how my study abroad group was told that the cops in Tanzania pay the local Rastas to befriend and try to sell weed to tourists so they can make an arrest and collect fat bribes for the release.

It’s just that his telling of history is entirely distorted. The German Workers’ Party was founded in the aftermath of WW1, in 1919, promoting German Nationalism and anti-semitism. Hitler joined that year, and took over the party in 1921.

The anti-fascist movements were born to counter the GWP (which then became the…

Fun fact: The antifascist movement in the 1920s was a key component in the rise to power of the nazi party, as the public looked at these crazy university students fighting in the streets and said “oh shit, we need to find a less insane political party that has its own gang of thugs to fight them”. Also, because many…

I swear I am not posting this history lesson to draw any conclusions but I felt like discussing it.   In the run up to the election of 1932 Nazi Brownshirts would go into Communist and left leaning neighborhoods and start fights.  Assaulting and provoking the members who lived there.  They would then give interviews…

you blame producers for giving Nas wacksauce? he picks the beats he raps over. you think great producers hold out on Nas? I’d bet every single producer in the 90s/00s literally made and saved their best beats FOR the chance that Nas would come to them for beats.

Only those that suffer from a massive case of Small Dick Energy are bothered by WAP.

Same! We got the wooden spoon sparingly (and I WOULD say usually deservedly, and never hard, a whack or two on the butt that stung but didn’t last), but I was talking with my mom recently and she said she really regretted even that. She also said how much she regretted being a yeller but a) I don’t remember my…

What are some behaviors which would have resulted in the wooden spoon? 

Hearing the thwack of the spoon against the countertop meant you were going to be in world of hurt.  I still can’t bring myself to use one because all I can think about is the back of my knees stinging.

Let me put on my shocked face.

To the troll Lizardo: no one cares what you think, here, or in real life. You are not worthy of love in your current form, and therefore no one really loves you. You know it’s true. No one loves you. You’re nothing.

Kamala Harris voting records routinely ranks in the top 10 most progressive in the entire Senate. You all can keep up the “Kamala is a cop” Russian smear all you want. For many of you, she’d have to be the left of Joseph Stalin to be “acceptable.”

Where does it say they said that? I was under the impression that it was being listed that way in order to demonstrate how white supremacist thinking is absorbed into “mainstream” thinking. It is not meant to be an endorsement of that attitude.
