That may be because he made a point of primarily identifying as a black activist rather than as a gay man. Of course I don’t blame him for feeling like he had to make a choice, in that day and age.

Holy hatespeech in the greys... Let’s not engage, people.

There’s something mesmerizing about his combination of righteous anger, intellectual precision, and unflappable self-respect. He was of his time, but also ahead of his time, because nobody answered the questions he raised, and still haven’t.

The entire Republican strategy is exploiting the innate human tendency to fear and loathe people who are different so their base of useful idiots doesn’t know they’re robbing them blind.

White men want to be oppressed SO BADLY, yet the minute they see the slightest hint of a path towards equality for all they freak out and put people like Donald Trump and his minions in the White House.

If it comes to that, they’ll follow the North Carolina blueprint and stamp out the powers the incoming Democrats can use.

I guess the silver lining is that they won’t have any more Benghazi hearings or witch hunts aimed at Democrats?

Republicans are in full “candy for dinner” mode at all times. They have no long term plans beyond “permanent majority” maintained by voter suppression.

Oh I think they plan on being in power for quite some time. I don’t always agree with Bill Mahr, but his comments about a slow moving coup in this country is spot on.

I’ll be interested if, as a follow-up, they move to kill the filibuster, which would be a similarly short-sighted move.

Jennifer Foehner Wells’ newest book has a black woman protagonist. _The Druid Gene_ is a good read.

“You’re already going to jail.”

Except, why fight for it when it can get you harassed, get you fired from your job, not have any health insurance or social safety net, and in extreme cases, get you killed killed? I’m a native, fourth generation Californian with a whole lot of friends from Flyover Country and the South who have relocated here.…

I always darkly joke, “In the future have white people finally succeeded in their millenia long goal of final solution-ing all of us?”

The Expanse is wall-to-wall POC. Well, the novels are. I cannot vouch for the SyFy adaptation.

Has now gotten to the point? It’s always been this way. Not disagreeing with your overall argument, just pointing out that it’s nothing new.

I’ve already tied an onion to my belt.

But they will continue to somehow blame liberals because “transgender bathrooms” or some shit.

Nope, you don’t get to leave this shit at the feet of women...Trump’s main voting advantage was amongst men and people without college degrees.
