To be completely honest. I think his mother is a common example of older white women who have biracial children. Sleeping with Black men was something she “experimented” with back in the day. That resulted in two children...but ultimately, who she slept with didn’t change who she is and has always been...another white…

Yelling slogans at people is a bad way to change their minds. But showing up at neo-Nazi rallies is not about changing the minds of neo-Nazis, it’s about showing them that this is not their country, and that people are willing to stand up to them. I don’t think anyone who’s encountered a member of the far right (on…

I find McMullin’s political career depressing - not because of anything he’s done, but because his miniscule following shows how tiny the audience is for non-crazy conservatism.

What’s the statute of limitations for how long it can take someone to notice something before they can react authentically? Because I want to know how long I have to slowly steal money from you without you noticing before you’ll no longer be allowed to get pissed about it

In his head it probably played out like a movie with Ms Bro stopping the funeral and telling everyone to be quiet so they could all huddle around the phone adoringly listenening to Trump

“Beautiful,” “bad,” “sad,” “yuuuge”—sounds right.

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

My towel is the one that can stand up without a towel rack, that’s how I tell them apart.

For obvious reasons this has got to be the most fallacious and stupid argument I’ve ever heard. Because he didn’t know about it before, finding about it now means that he can’t disapprove of it? I mean, if my wife had been cheating on me for the past two years am I not allowed to be outraged if I just found out about…

Damon doesn’t seem extremely outraged though. His outrage seems to be at a pretty low level (which is commendable considering how awful that statue is) and this article is more taking a stab at being humorous about a racist as hell statue more than it is some kind of “Whaaa! My feelings are hurt! Tear that statue…

Particularly when something is written with such an over the top satiric style that it’s talking about taking a quote out on a date to eat chorizo, and the mind reader decides this is 100% aggrieved outrage of butthurtness with no humor involved.

I feel like you read a different article. His is overarching tone is “holy crap, look at this ridiculous shit I just found,” not “I am outraged and must be appeased by blood and destruction!”

So you, someone who has never seen or driven by this statue at all and probably only know about it now thanks to this article, get to be upset about it, but someone who actually lives near it and sees it everyday isn’t allowed to be upset about it after also reading an article about it?

I don’t know when this freckle on my elbow became kind of flaky and weird, but now that I do know, I probably should get it looked at. Just because I didn’t notice it earlier doesn’t mean it still isn’t a problem to be dealt with.

We sang My Old Kentucky Home in glee club in N.J. in the 19490'-1950's. We had no idea what a darkie was. None. I guess we thought it was a blackbird of some kind. Little kids don’t ask. It was just a pleasant melody you could harmonize. Embarrassment came later.

Yeah... I’m going to do you a favor and let you know that, just like people shouldn’t point out there were a few ok people in the white nationalist march, you should just keep the fact that a couple points in his tip resonated with you to yourself. Especially when the list includes “2. Your boundaries are complete…

For every Hitler, there’s an Eva Braun. For every Putin, there are 30 white girls gone missing for various countries.

8. If all I can see is your face – you need to cut the eye holes smaller.

I’m sure there are many sides to this story. Many sides

Do people regularly ride around town with marijuana in their vaginas? Why would they do that? I mean, if the police had serious cause to believe a young woman shoved drugs up her vagina, take her to the hospital! That would be cause for concern. If I thought someone was using marijuana as a tampon I’d be very…
