Should note that the hotel room isn't guaranteed. Bought a Chromecast last week after Giz or LH posted the idea since we're on vacation. Plugged it into the TV in our Marriott only to discover that the TV had been modified so it was impossible to choose the input source. A good follow up article would be compiling the

Own grandfather. Baboom.

Then we should pour generous amounts chlorine triflouride over the piss soaked mush, as it's such a powerful flourinating agent that it can light inflammable things like ash, asbestos or even concrete on fire. And while this slowly eat at the mush, the 50 top living poets will compose expert insults at it until the

Well, it's not a theory, of course. But the idea that vaccines cause autism should die in a fire. Then, when the fire is out, I'd invite everyone to piss on the ashes.

Favorite WTF flashback is actually the whole series of flashbacks when we realize the true relationship between these guys in Fight Club:

Same here, these things are free, but even if they paid me to download them, I still wouldn't dare install iTunes on any computer of mine.

I'm not usually one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but iTunes couldn't pay me enough to get Canterbury Tales.

White people MUST be involved. You are the majority, you hold the power. Without the support of white people, any movement is dead in the water.

I find shared articles very interesting and when my white friends share articles about how shit might suck for me, it makes me feel that they have empathy for me. So go ahead.

Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.

Sounds like a bit of a catch 22. Because to change a system where whites are in the majority, you probably need their consent/support as well as some action on their part in order to change the system. But if their actions are always problematic just because of the power differential in the system, how is this action

Agreed! I think being an observant, kind person is one of the toughest things to be in a world filled with hatred and injustice. To smile in the face of the overwhelming "FUCK YOU"s that fly from all directions is brave. Just be kind and don't worry about the bullshit.

At the end of the day, I think the outrage over this goes beyond race.

We have seen one justice system employed to keep all of us down, and another justice system that excuses it's torturers and enforcers. That considers banks "too big to fail" and the rest of us "too small to care". Officers that have been trained to

Do you think it's even possible for white people to not be involved?

It's definitely a fine line to walk, and I, along with so many others, am struggling to figure out how to do it.

I don't think it's fair to tell white people to keep quiet, because we SHOULD be outraged, and we SHOULD be agitating for change.

Allies in the majority are always important in social movements. Women could

Yes, let's all be quiet about this serious issue with our broken government. Also, let's stop doing civil disobedience and just look disapprovingly look at government buildings when we walk by instead of stopping all traffic on public roads. We need to be less obvious with our displeasure with the system, because

My answer is to do what I can, when I can, and take the condescension and the jabs at inauthenticity on the chin, because being a good person and doing the right thing doesn't always entail getting thanked or even being appreciated. It's so telling of our privilege that we expect our voices to at least be welcome. I

I just made a post about this but I think it got buried. There was a similar discussion in a feminist forum I belong to about how men can help and what they can do. A man came forward and said this which I thought was perfect.

THIS.

"Good white people" talking about deleting trolls, going to protests, or whatever else may very well not have an ulterior motive. This author is talking about deleting trolls, is she looking to be congratulated and thanked?

Part of what is being done is exerting social pressure on their borderline white friends

What I want to know is, how on earth did Colonel Sanders achieve anything at all given the nature of his deformity. I mean, just look at the size of his tiny little body in this picture
