Hands up if you almost threw your phone when you got the news alert that White People’s Prez (TM) was accusing President Obama of wiretapping. *hands up*
Stop being a greedy contrarian. No one here is interested in anything more you and your selfishness have to say about this.
Allies huh? As someone else has posted we pay in taxes for a lot of things we don’t support/agree with. For example, all the $$ we give Israel. Why is it when we talk about something concerning black folks all minorities have to be thrown in or it’s everyman for himself?
No, it would be using government tax money to pay for the government’s sins. The government does this all the time. People come and go, but institutions still exist that can and should still be held responsible for institutional wrongs.
See, there are things done to us (ethnic minorities) in common and things done to each of us specifically. To be clear, not everything is our community is going to be about you, and vice versa.
Apples to oranges. We’re literally talking about people who built the country having been forced to work for hundreds of years for free. We can talk about other human rights abuses that happened over time and in the current climate to Latinx folks, but the discussion here isn’t “my blues are worse than yours” this…
I don’t understand what is wrong with that. We’re paying into social security and will probably never benefit. My grandparents are currentlypaying school taxes that they nor their kids (my mom) or I never benefitted from. We’re paying federal taxes that go towards the military to fight wars we don’t believe in,…
This is always the explanation when those who don’t want to do the hard work of righting what was wrong. Some of these are good questions, no doubt, but others are just stupid. But to sit around and say “well it’s just too hard to untangle so we’re not even going to try” is cowardly and complacent. And as far as…
If you’re going to fuss about her inclusion of black people how do you have the audacity to use the words “we” and “us”. Who gave you the authority to speak for me?
Nice racism: You should move to East Texas, black people get better jobs here. And, you have a Masters degree, [my neice] doesn’t even have that. (At the time I was 30, visiting my BFF’s family East Texas for the first time, this aunt has taken us to lunch. During lunch she sang my praises while wondering why her…
They will always let you down if it’s in their best interests.
A very, VERY small fraction.
Just don’t trust any white person period. Work with them, go to school with them, live by them. Trust hell no.
Get that bullshit out of here. Devotion to god? Really? Which one? The one obscured by white imperialism and put into a multi-edited version of the Bible? The one forced upon people of color in attempts to colonize? Go fuck yourself with this racist tripe. That good ol cleaning lady is a victim. The threat of white…
He can trust individuals without trusting institutions.
Weird how (white) people keep saying that Peele having a white mother and white wife (neither of which I knew about him) means he’s never experienced racism (nice or nasty) from white people or he can’t possibly know black people who have. EL-OH-STFU.
“Nice” racism is what my mom experienced when she married my Mexican dad. Her whole life my grandparents told my mom that everyone is equal and people should be not be judged by the color of their skin. Until she got engaged to my dad, then every racist stereotype of “lazy” Mexican came out under the guise of…
