    Because they’re whites.

    Next

    The days of pretending we are all equal are long gone. This is whitelash, and whites have the numbers and positions of power. We will always be second class citizens.

      I’m sure I’m in the minority (npi) but I really wish you’d stop affirming that narrative (unless it’s just your way of dealing with anxiety).

      I consider myself a citizen on equal footing with anyone else, and I hope any other American citizen whose passport is the same color as mine thinks the same.

      I mean - whose guidance are you going to follow - the son of a Klansman who was the son of this man, whose behavior was so abhorrent over here that the country he came from (yes, he’s an immigrant too) didn’t want to let him back in?

      Or this man?

      I mean - I don’t know about you, but I’m watching Joy Reid deliver the news right now. I’m not watching some blonde bubblehead from Faux Noise.

      If those people ever faced real oppression they’d curl up in a ball and cry for help.

    As an outsider looking in on America, you are so very, very broken. I say this fully admitting that no country is perfect (perfection is a fallacy after all), but America still has deep fractures, and there is still a significant portion of your population that is fighting the same wars and battles from hundreds of years ago.

    This hate, this fracture, this divide i would hope would go away. That takes education and understanding and you have a whole political party devoted to eroding education and controlling old world narratives. So until education gets fixed these issues will not go away.

    Everyone has privilege, these people marching are just the most privileged of the privileged who have no grasp of why they are so privileged and think that other peoples rising privilege somehow think theirs is being diminished.

    Where does America go and how does it get better, who knows?

      How does it get better? For one: flat out rejection and condemnation of this fuckery from the top-down. That would be a start. Turning out to vote in local elections. That’s a start. This isn’t rocket science.

      This is not a matter of education in the same way that you do not “fix” serial killers by explaining that murder is wrong.

      “Failure” implies that they are making any efforts to stop this

      I alternated wrists with my microsoft band until the problem went away and was able to wear it all the time.

      Took about a month.

      Re: Fitbit rash, is it located where the sensor touches your skin? You may have a mild (nickel?) allergy.

    Why Haven’t the Charlotte, Va., Police Responded to White Supremacist Protesters Like Black Lives Matter? 

    Hard to get an army of riot cops together when most of them are marching.

    Little man-babies can’t even make a proper torch anymore — how are they gonna succeed in intimidation with tiki torches from China? Beta white-supremacist cucks is more like it.

    Bear spray the entire fuckin’ lot of them. $13 a can online and in stores.
