I watch her a lot and I've been a fan of Sanders since at least 2006 or so. She never was that awful about Sanders, and never said anything particularly inflammatory. White people are the reason Donald won. There is something incredibly and culturally hosed up about that demographic in America.

It's almost like society treats politics as a game where in points are won on extremely arbitrary interviews and panels but none of the systemic issues affecting society are ever addressed allowing the wealthy to continue to horde riches and drive the rest of society further into debt and servitude.
Again though, the Daily Show crowd's not actually responsible for this and they've all spoken out against this. BuzzFeed does that poo poo, but even BuzzFeed has somehow become a great news source in our hosed up dark timeline.

they sang performed the national anthem at trump's big dumb not-campaign rally the other day and i've gotta assume a significant portion of the people there would've been offended if they didn't

ps every time I try to remember the Canadian national anthem my brain ends up playing O Christmas Tree instead; sometimes this is also the case for God Save The Queen

I'll be honest, watching The Detour (Bee's husband's show) this season is awkward. Season two takes place in NYC and the first episode was very heavy on racial humor that felt uncomfortable after knowing Jones' and Bee's stance on the issue.

Look, just because he threw rocks a black school kids in Arkansas and spray painted racial slurs on the streets they walked by doesn't mean he cant be an ally!

An imperfect ally is fine, hence why everyone wanted Ellison for dnc chair. Being a person who would prefer to keep poo poo pre civil rights era is a hell of a way beyond imperfect.

The fact that literal rapist and literal Russian spy, Donald Trump (former host of a lovely reality show) got above 5% of the white vote is incredibly hosed up in itself. There is something really wrong with our culture and I do feel like white people should examine why it is that they voted for a man who threatened to kill his opponent twice.

i spent like 30 seconds googling it and it looks like the school district their kids go to wanted to physically move the school like 16 blocks away to shift district lines and they said that wasn't the best idea

this is why that specific issue is very complicated, and I don't necessarily like putting the impetus of action on individual families. there needs to be a state solution here... it's almost as if I want the government to fix a collective problem???

in the years following the civil war, former slaveowners inbred to keep racial purity because suddenly white people from outside their family were secdecaroon indians or black folk :tinfoil:

they continued to browbeat less racist whites into adopting their position and terrorize all sorts of minorities

then someone had the bright idea to let these traitorous fucks take office

you can easily map out areas that are predominately white vs. predominately not white vs. racially integrated just by going to zillow and looking at the school ratings. pretty hosed up.
