If 13-Year Olds Can See Through Your Game - It's Over



Well, the GOP has managed to alienate another black supporter, CJ Pearson, just as it did me - and in much the same way: CJ said he could no longer be “champion of a party that turned a blind eye to racial discrimination.” And now Republicans wonder why it currently seems the party's coming apart at the seams? That's easy: They never truly tried to mend them,...

"There Aren’t Enough Grumpy Middle-Aged White Men To Win An Election” (Coulda Thought Of THAT Sooner)



This is so stupid. The Rep's admitted they had a problem in 2012 - they were being, in Bobby Jindal's words, "The Stupid Party" - but, instead of addressing it, they did nothing but go back to doing what they'd been doing. That's why they lost my vote. Now they want to pretend Trump is a cause of their problems when, in truth, he is a symptom of their incompetence. Trump can only be seen as a political "hangover and then herpes" to those who thought, before he showed up, the party was healthy. It wasn't. Not then, not now, and maybe - if it continues not being able to grasp what it's been doing to itself - not even in the future,...

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,...

Ta-Nehisi Coates: White Society Is Wrong - Not Blacks



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,..."
