When's the last time you got off your rear end and did something vaguely useful for a real human being? I strongly suggest you go do that now. Or gently caress off back to your weird racism bulletin board, whichever thing speaks more honestly to the true value of your character.

Holy poo poo dude. That's so hosed up I had to read it three times before getting that it was some white-rear end motherfucker picking on you instead of a black person being upset about white people. Like "weird racism bulletin board," I thought they meant 4chan, lol.

So like btw I read the article you posted, Koalas, and it basically underlines what has been frustrating me so much about being a teacher lately. And I can only imagine is the daily frustration that POC feel. That the people who were always going to be okay will be taken care of, and will be okay; that the people who have never been okay, but might have been okay if we had just taken one moment to reach out to them and help them, those people are loving hosed. And how loving unfair is that, that for basically every human problem we will pay enough attention to it to help and assist the people who probably would have been okay even if they hadn't gotten that help and assistance, because they already lived privileged lives, and that our attention will inevitably wander away before reaching out a hand to those who gently caress, just seriously need that. Like jesus christ I wonder every day how many more of my students would grow up "okay" if just one more adult would assume that they are good people. Instead of adults who should know better pretending they are completely unbiased and that therefore their gut feeling that so-and-so kid is purposely being a shithead to ruin an adult's life (and not just being a fuckin kid) is totally above board. Sorry. I don't mean to leak teacher bitching into Negrotown. I feel like it's related, but still maybe not okay.

I was stuck in a horrible amount of traffic right after the eclipse and it took me 3 hours to move ten miles on an interstate, and that was in good driving conditions and without people fleeing from an oncoming natural disaster. Evacuating a modern city, especially one the size of Houston (#5 in the US?) would make the traffic I had to deal with look like a pleasant summer drive. Also I think when they evacuated Houston before (Rita?) quite a number of people died during the evacuation because of the horrible traffic.

And even by some miracle you could magically evacuate anyone that's only the first thing. Where do they go? Most people don't have the financial security to afford being away from a paying job for a week, let alone having to live on what little they could pack.

The 'Why didn't they evacuate' is probably one of the worst examples of 'Smugthought' regarding these things, just slightly under the 'maybe they shouldn't have lived where there are hurricanes' bit of genius insight.

Also GBS is pretty much stormfront lite these days.

From like kindergarten until 4th grade when we moved my best friend was black and I remember when I first met him asking him why his palms were white because at that age you don't know that's not ok to ask. He told me it was because he washing the blackness off his hands and when he grows up he'll be all white. It wasn't until I was an adult I thought back on it and realized just how messed up that was. Like, who told that kid that?

Ordering employees to disobey evac warnings and report to work should be punished like price-gouging is, $25,000 per infraction.

And a huge contingent of the "why don't they just-" people constitutionally cannot comprehend that black people live where they do because of slavery and racism. And any time black communities manage to better their circumstances and get some prosperity, white people smack them back down as violently as they can. Just ask Tulsa.

....there is a record of who buys these things right?

I always figured that there should be a double edged effect to buying Avs like that. If you correctly guess who it was that you made angry enough to drop $10 to try and hang an albatross on your neck, then that person eats a ban.

Like, you get one guess (or maybe more depending on just how "not mad" you made them) and have to contact a mod to verify.

And maybe just a little bit of oversight for crazy toxic poo poo like TB's right now, like holy poo poo. Just eat a ban off the bat for paying for something like that.

Agreed completely. But sadly it's just another layer on the cake of horrible poo poo that businesses do these days. It's a completely insane decision to economically for the business because WHO THE gently caress IS GOING TO COME TO YOUR SHOP.

Oh who am I kidding, it's because they want the employees to serve as 'guards' to the merchandise they'll just be writing off afterwards anyways as loss.

In racism news: Moving this weekend and my white husband dealt with the realtors initially. When I followed up they suddenly got incredibly chilly and started trying to talk me out of the place we'd already put a non-refundable down payment on and warned me repeatedly how expensive the monthly cost would be and spent a lot of time telling me about all the various ways I could find myself in legal trouble with them and how quickly my future neighbors will call the cops regarding any "disturbances."

I'M HAVING A HOOT EATING CORNETTE THE LONG WAY
Last friday I went out with a coworker and met his sister who told me it was ok to say the n word because her best friend is black and said she couls, but not the best friend that she had introduced me to earlier. The other friend who wasn't there at the time. She then said it was all good since her dad was a white n-word so she undstands it.

Then she told me the confederate flag was about being a rebel.

We had a very long discussion about why this is all hosed up and wrong. Plus naruto
