I would’ve made “Fighting” or “Against” the first word in that title.

As usual, the most racist thing you can do is call out racism. More and more emboldened these assholes are.

Here is the tweet in all its glory:
Gag. I’ve heard similar shit so often. And each time I hear it I have to ask:
- Just one Black friend? In order for this to be proportional, you would have to have only seven friends total. Is this correct? Shit, most places I’ve lived, it would be more like one to two friends total. So either you live in a white bubble or you have no friends, either of which sets off alarm bells in my mind.
- Is this even a friend? Three quarters of all white people have never even been inside a Black person’s house. I don’t quite know the statistics on white people who loudly and publicly claim to have Black friends, but I can confidently say that practically none of them have.
- Because you’re white? Is your Black friend blind? Lol no, anyone can tell you’re white, and they can tell instantly. That’s not it, you did something.
- “Dividing the country” is a bit melodramatic, don’t you think? You won’t have to look very far back into history to find actual legitimate attempts to divide the country, and you know it. This is disingenuous, and I pity anyone who thinks it isn’t.
Mitch Hedberg jokes have become Republican talking points. God help us all.
I can only wait until she proposes to solve world hunger by giving starving children “a thousand of something”.
classic as always!

Slacktivist (Fred Clark) has a rambling post today on his blog, but it starts and is mainly concerned with why many mainline churches in downtown areas have lost so many parishioners that they’ve had to close their doors. He shows three photos in the life of one church, and invites us to think about what the real story is, here. (Hint: white flight.)

Yeah, there must have been a difference, though. I just can’t racism figure out racism what it might racism have been?

Not sure where else to put this, but…
Thoughts on this? I can see both sides of the argument. Is it better to have a new actor take on the specific role of T’Challa to carry on the specific character? Or is it better to have a new character take on the mantle of Black Panther?
