On Thursday, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards responded to a video circulating which allegedly depicts…
the consistent use of his full name - not too much, but just enough- just
I don’t see how it could legally qualify as harassment, and is almost certainly Constitutionally protected. There’s not much to distinguish this from a Hustler magazine printing a story about Jerry Falwell having sex with his mother in an outhouse. If you mean it’s legal but we should still frown on it as a society,…
It was specific to Italians and even more specific to Italians who immigrated from Southern Italy/Sicily who likely had darker skin. They were classified as black on the census and barred from owning slaves but I’m not 100% if their were any Italian slaves. After the civil war everyone started hating immigrants and…
My mother’s purse is like the Bermuda triangle. Things only resurface on days when Uranus is in the nth moon of Sagittarius on a Wednesday, but not if it’s a leap year. I’ve seen grocery receipts older than me.
If you are a police officer, one of your primary responsibilities (other than protecting the peace, blah blah) is…
There were white slaves but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t racist because back then “white” meant a completely different thing than it does now. People like the person you were arguing with always fail to take history into context and try to relate 21st century ideals (and often Western ideals) with whatever society was…
Diatomaceous earth. Cheap, kills them dead. Spread that shit all over your house and wait, they will die.
I had a friend come over once and he brought bedbugs with him. Turns out his girlfriend moved into his apartment to escape the bedbugs in hers. She infested him, he came over and infested me.
I tried everything…
In other words, this bear is living its truth and I respect the hell out of it.
Somehow he knew Ariana Grande had already licked it.
My great grandparents were indentured laborers. It’s not slavery, but close to it. Still, not the same, and this is one of the ways I know that white privilege is real and that I have benefited from it- no one is going to look at me and think that my grandmother was born on a plantation, but she was.
Ugh, I love when people partially read history (or partially parrot it.) That yahoo is talking about indentured servitude—the precursor to slavery in America. If you couldn’t afford ship’s passage, you could temporarily “sell” yourself to a rich passenger; they’d pay for your ticket over, and in return you’d work for…
Don’t forget the Tulsa Race Riot where whites attacked blacks and killed anywhere from 50 to 300 Africa-Americans in one of the worst cases of racial violence in American history. So, in a way, they deserve to be linked to the Confederate Flag.
I seriously got into a debate about someone over the fact that American slavery was racist.
Also: “With the slavery and everything else.”
Oklahoma is what the right wing would like for all of America to look like, statistically. The state is incredibly poor and uneducated. People work for comically low wages and attack anyone who tries to change that (proactively passing Right To Work when something like 2% of the workers in the state are unionized;…
“...There might have been racism way back then with the slavery and everything else but that’s all in the history.”
Landing in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, President Barack Obama—who is en route to El Reno, Oklahoma, where he’ll…
