They squint and aim for mediocre whiteness, which is what I assume is what living in The Giver feels like.

I...I...don’t understand this.

“He understands this perfectly”

Context. The “white flight” comment references the Districts appeal of the original order for them to integrate. They claimed a fear of white flight was a reason they shouldn’t integrate. The “white flight” argument does not appear to have a direct link to the apparent discrimination here.

Isn’t this always the way, though? We want you to be successful and stop taking “handouts” but not too successful (see Tulsa.) We want you to be “articulate” but don’t articulate things too clearly for our liking (see Dr. King, Medgar Evers, etc.)

There’s gonna be hell toupee.

Guy looks like he’s wearing a Whig, at that

It always puzzles me when people get dentures that are obviously bad. Why wouldn’t you take the opportunity to get better teeth?

I’m not sure there’s ever been a major global power that was a good actor on human rights.

Still, it’s disappointing that all the shit from his past hasn’t made him far weaker (I suspect being Obama’s VP washes away those sins in the minds of lots of Dem…

Welcome aboard Joe! It's pretty tight in the clown car but you can find some room in the ashtray. 

What a touching tweet from Vlad to his son. Really puts into perspective how little my own worthless progeny have accomplished in their lives. I mean, sure, they’re 7 and 9, but still...

Unfortunately paying racist trolls is what fox does, so she's in no danger of losing that paycheck.

Man when her own family thinks she’s wasting people’s air and won’t come to her defense, then you know she is truly garbage that also soaks in the dirty trash water beneath it. I mean sure other people are saying it too, but that cuts deep with it’s your own blood.
