Say what you will about Barack Obama’s policies, I certainly didn’t care for all of them, but we didn’t have to wait four years to see evidence of his deep empathy, or any other humanizing trait for that matter. It’s kind of one of the main reasons he became president in the first place. 

Yuup... And we need to have a conversation about how many white passing minorities will count themselves as people of color yet have very skewed, very white visions of the world. They treat whiteness as an ethnicity instead of a supremacy construct. 

I suspect Kimberly Guilfoyle’s a robot too. Her performance on Monday makes sense if she was programmed to give the speech to an arena packed with MAGAts, but after the venue was switched to an empty room, someone forgot to adjust her settings.

RNC’s first night included a cancer survivor who claimed the Trump Administration’s Right T0 Try legislation saved her life, only for someone to notice that she talked about receiving the therapy months before the legislation was signed into law.

I’ll be so glad when when this white power tent revival is over.

Story about arrest of the shooter from CNN:

It was a struggle to find some Black Twitter Excellence during the RNC griftfest because most of us were watching the Mavs getting tosses out of a virtual stadium. Where these is humor there is hope.

Daniel Cameron came out last night and gave the typical “ I am one of the good ones” speech and conservative white folks ate it up. For that low level piece of shit to say Breonna Taylor’s name shows you the type of vermin we are dealing with. Fuck Melania Trump, Tiffany and Eric who fucked up a Gandhi quote trying to…

They said that out loud, and now that they’re not even trying to front like they give a damn about the country they traded in their dog whistles for bullhorns. All their speeches fall into 2 categories: Either “Trump is great!” Or some form of “OMFG VOTE FOR TRUMP OR ELSE THE BROWN PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET YOU!”

i’ve been trying to read this article for three hours.

Seemed like Abby Johnson noted that race is a thing, but is going to make sure her son “knows his place” instead of try, on a national stage, to mend fences.

I had a tiny little bit of grudging respect for Tiffany because she seemed to want no part of the Trump shitshow and seemed to have disappeared from the public eye for three years so I was surprised to see that she was going to speak at this thing. I guess the money ran out.

Listening to NPR and they did that “what did Republicans think about last night?” thing. Will say the black folks are definitely working for the dumb-dumbs. Almost threw my phone out the window after a bit of Daniel Cameron’s “Look, Joe Biden - I am a BLACK MAN and I AM NOT YOURS” or some shit with some white lady…

I hope people notice exactly what they’re not saying too, like anything about the economy, the pandemic, or how they’re going to get the country out of the crater-sized holes they’re still digging.
