Reading about this shit every day is exhausting.  And I’m in God’s demographic (middle class white guy).  I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to have to actually deal with this on a day to day basis.

I’m going to vote in the primaries in 5 minutes. Let’s get this thing done, people!

When will rural white people pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop relying on affirmative-action programs like this and the Electoral College?

Yep. My dad went to school, but my mom’s side of the family is still in Appalachia, still being mad about there being no coal jobs, and faulting me because I worked full time and went to school, and then moved to get better jobs, and went to job training for certificates in new programming languages and then a Masters…

I remember, as a poorish white person, how in grade school, you were discouraged by your peers to do well in school, like pursuing ignorance was a badge of honor.

YES. This is my family. They say I’m a liberal elite because I worked two full-time jobs while going to school full-time and then took any job that showed me a part of the world or society I wasn’t familiar with (I worked on film sets). They’ve done nothing to improve/educate themselves or even see anyplace beyond…

Yeah-and I get shit from family for living in the “inner city” but meanwhile all the stabbings and opiod problems are in their outer majority white neighborhood. I also get shit for not wanting a car but I can walk or bus everywhere, why would I want that extra expense when i don’t need it? But that would be logical.…

Sounds like where I grew up. The reason I’m poor and unemployed is because all these other people/groups are holding me down. The reason that black person is poor and unemployed is because they’re too lazy to use the bootstraps god gave them.

Related: As a white person who grew up poor and then got my ass educated and into decent field after taking a look at my family (but who has lived in the evil city all her life), I am sick and goddamned tired of poor white people giving up on themselves, refusing to adapt, having hoardes of children who are not…

I can say with great certainty based on firsthand experiences that white rural Ohioans are fucking awful.

Them: “Show me an example of structural racism.”

I’m guessing because she asked for a hot dog and they said no.

I mean, the world would be a billion times better if White people would keep their colonizing asses out of other people’s business. Why the fuck does someone #1. Pay attention to where grilling spots are and #2. Give a shit about where people are grilling??? How does someone live such a boring, meaningless existence???

I’ve read some of the other stories since the Philadelphia Starbucks debacle. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FELLOW WHITE FOLK: BLACK PEOPLE DOING LEGAL THINGS, LIKE SLEEPING OR COOKING OR EXISTING, IS NOT ILLEGAL. STOP WITH THIS SHIT.

The NRA has told Trump that, under no circumstances, is he ever to congratulate a black man for taking a gun out of the hands of a white man.

I was most offended by Mika stating it was wrong to criticize a mother. GROSS.

There was no joke about Huckabee’s appearance at all - just a joke about what she does with ashes (uses them to create a perfect smoky eye). That’s a joke or an insult. But Trump supporters want people to believe that Wolf targeted Huckabee’s looks because it makes her look as bad as the president who they support.…

There is a lot of gross implications in what Mika said. It sounds like if a woman does what society expects they will be protected. Frankly, if that is the case it doesn’t apply to all women who are wives and mothers.

So none of these journalists demand an apology from Trump when he says seriously horrible things? Do you call him out he doesn’t have a sense of decency or purpose about his job?

Michelle Wolf was calling her a liar and a gaslighter. That is all true. She would fit right in at with the other aunties in the Handmaid’s Tale. Frankly, I’m disgusted by all the women rushing to her defense. She is not the one that needs to be defended.

Christ, these journalists are just falling over themselves to defend SHS, latching onto a throwaway joke about eyeshadow in their eagerness to keep their places at the Trump feeding trough.
