Senate "Race" Relations (was "U.S. Society and Black Men")

My friend tells me that sometimes it feels like this to be a Black man in America...

When you're not feeling a Fallout Boy sing-along.

 

I'm not racist but the 500m is pretty bad

 

The city Memphis did the right thing by removing the statues of Davis and Forrest. They should never have been arrested.

We should build statues to all the dogs who urinated on those statues.

 

2mins?


Well "you types" should clearly know your order the moment you get in the shop and woe betide you if you need to wait for anything, or ask for anything...



or exist.

"Members of Whose Tribe?
Today, Americans tend to think of Jewish people as white folks, but it wasn't always that way. On this episode, we dig into the complex role Jewish identity has played in America's racial story — especially now, when anti-Semitism is on the rise."

Well, I was just joking.

I'm really not racist, I just identify as a neonazi and that's a very different and totally non-racist thing. Let's proclaim the Third Galactic Reich and send all space aliens into a black hole! [/sarcasm]

 

Some of my best friends are white .

Harriet Tubman will be the face of the new $20

 

Montie, look at the date on the article, Trump's Treasury Secretary Steve Munchin has already killed that idea dead.

Edit: Houston deputy fired after fatally shooting unarmed black man at a traffic stop last month.

 

Yeah, that's a really brutal piece of history. Pretty well known among Natives here in Oklahoma, but totally forgotten outside the state until that book came out last year. Really good (you know what I mean) to see the story coming to light for a larger audience.

 

This is what I get for taking something new on my feeds without taking a look at the date.

And here it is that It's delayed at least 6 years

Dated April 19 this year. And of course it's the Trump admin.

"Its Bigger Than The Ban
Muslims make up a little over one percent of the U.S. population, but they seem to take up an outsized space in the American imagination. On this episode we explore why that is."

 

What Kanye said made no sense.

 

Of course it didn't, it was words out of Kanye's mouth.
