White people denying that they’re racist is literal violence because all white people are racist

 White women advised that denying their own racism is violent

I like the one comment that said she sounds high.  Might be right.

White people denying that they’re racist is literal violence because all white people are racist . . .
What they're trying to do is set the stage to justify their initiation of physical violence as self defense.

Deny you're racist, that's literal violence, and I can punch or kick you in self defense.

Admit you're racist, and that's so horrible I can punch or kick you, because you deserve it. Oh, and it's self defense, too.

They haven't quite managed to figure out that when they initiate actual physical violence (as recognized by most sane people) there's a good chance they'll get a whole lot more back in return than they're comfortable with.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

OK, assuming this also applies to white dudes, I'll just deny I'm white, and identify as race-neutral.

It's a poorly-written article.  Who initiated contact?  It looks like the "victim" Borys started it.  (if Harrison approached Borys at Borys' car, why would B be walking away after spitting on H?)  I think she got what she was asking for, (not what she deserved; that would just be a beating) and the rest of the article tries to paint her as some kind of angel.  I don't have much sympathy for anyone but the kids and the husband.

The lesson here?  Don't start an argument with someone and spit on them.

That will make you double-plus ungood raysis because you refuse to take a stance.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Just dropping this here

Quote
    As we celebrate a Black History Month like no other, people are now faced with the reality that in places like Florida, books that discuss Black history or even mention Black people are now illegal.

    Doing his best impression of a white segregationist from the 1950s South, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a war on books that may cause white tears — topics such as race, gender, sexuality, LGBTQ+ people, class, oppression and social justice. Under Florida’s Stop Woke Act, teachers cannot discuss these topics in class under the threat of felony charges, forcing them to remove books on these subjects.

I know that this is no real surprise to the folks here, but I thought I'd mention that the law in question explicitly states that you CAN talk about the issues mentioned in a classroom.

So I guess people like Martin Luther King and Barack Hussein Obama will now be legally unmentionable . . .

And some people actually believe this cr@p?  :facepalm:

Not voting for Lightfoot

Out comes the race card, AGAIN

Quote
"I'm a Black woman and, let's not forget, some folks frankly don't support us in leadership roles," Lightfoot told The New Yorker recently.

Well, Chicago is obviously racist and white supremacist now.

That's the only explanation for it.

It seems more likely that Chicago has gone from the frying pan to the fire.
Vallas is (or has been) employed by the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) which is the union that was one of the major supporters for this heinous "Amendment 1" that gives union bosses more power that the state legislature.
Then there is Johnson.  According to the Annie Fry Show, he is an avowed "marxist" and a major "defund" advocate.

Not to mention, neither of them is a homosexual or a woman. As we know, those are both very important job qualifications.

“zip-a-dee-doo-dah”

Quote


Disneyland has removed the “zip-a-dee-doo-dah” lyric played during its park parades because it comes from a movie that has been criticized for racist portrayals of Black Americans.

The lyric initially appeared in the “Magic Happens” parade when it debuted in March 2020. The parade recently returned after a nearly three-year hiatus because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Upon its re-introduction last month, spectators of the twice-daily parade, described as “celebrating magical moments from legendary Disney stories” on its website, now hear the lyric — “think of the happiest things” from “Peter Pan”— in its place.
