Scott Walker Is A Totally Passive-Aggressive Racist

Goofy is as goofy does

This guy has blown every test on race life has ever presented him, and his calling #Black Lives Matter "ridiculous" in New Hampshire is just the latest indication he's a simple-minded, passive-aggressive, racist to his heart. To sweeten the deal, he even added he wanted to talk about "things that matter" - as though black lives don't - and a reminder of all those racist and sexist jokes his staff got busted for, way back when. I've always said he doesn't care. Anyway, the dork's a loser, and it's nice to see him actually losing for a change. Fuck him:

He simply isn't worth the attention he's gotten already,...

Conservatives Know The Constitution - And Tell Blacks

The face of conservatives when they're not pretending they're O.K.

Food for thought:

White conservatives say blacks are racist against innocent whites - they also say Planned Parenthood is evil whites being racist against blacks.

White conservatives also tell blacks to "get off the Democrat plantation" - not realizing we've seen them caucusing with whites actually waving confederate flags for the last 50 years.

The Republicans Never Needed Racial Healing From Me

They don't know who Trump is, right? Riiiiiiight

I was a conservative Republican once, but dramatically stopped voting with them once they made it obvious they were more concerned with their ideological dominance - over me - than keeping their own racial promises. And now look at 'em: Stuck between the same "rock and a hard place" where I left 'em.

Oh well - that's what my pipe is for,...

America Has It's Racism So In-Check Nobody Notices

"White people were crazy. Now they’re not as crazy,..." 

— Chris Rock

Anybody else wonder why this statement - regarding the rape, violence, mutilation, and murder, done to create this citadel to injustice we live in today - hasn't gotten as much investigation as issues presented by (last time I checked: white) Caitland Jenner and Amy Shumer? Why it's not sweeping the airwaves as really, really important for everyone to grasp, accept, and wrestle with - as they do women or gay rights?

If not, THAT'S how white supremacy "works,..."

Harper Lee Did America A Big Favor In Her New Book

"[Atticus’s effort] in “Mockingbird” is not the work of someone working for racial justice. He is not trying to eradicate racism from the legal system. He makes a living off the backs of the poor and people of color. He is the ultimate Southern gentleman – paternalistic and all that,...

There are a lot of studies that show that white people don’t recognize their racism, they don’t recognize their privilege. It’s not complicated – empirical research shows it, but we — white people – don’t want to acknowledge it. White people want to believe that we got everything we have through hard work and talent, that we didn’t get a leg up by being white,..."

Judging Countries By "The Content Of Their Character"

This is a photo of America's "real" Industrial Revolution

By the time 1807 rolled around, 4 out of every 5 people who came to America was from Africa. The country was moving about 400,000 lbs. of cotton then. By the beginning of the Civil War (1860) that number had swelled to 2 billion lbs. How'd America achieve that, without some new innovation in cotton production?

Tom Petty Knows U.S. Blacks Must Live Like Refugees

"Beyond the flag issue, we're living in a time that I never thought we'd see. The way we're losing black men and citizens in general is horrific. What's going on in society is unforgivable. As a country, we should be more concerned with why the police are getting away with targeting black men and killing them for no reason. That's a bigger issue than the flag. Years from now, people will look back on today and say, 'You mean we privatized the prisons so there's no profit unless the prison is full?' You'd think someone in kindergarten could figure out how stupid that is. We're creating so many of our own problems,..."
