Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Giving up is unforgivable.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

She’s Not Racist But…

by Elon James White|  January 27, 20166:55 pm| 13 Comments

This post is in: This Week In Blackness

FacebookTweetEmail

One of the six girls who was suspended from her Arizona high school for spelling out the N-word with their shirts after being part of a larger senior class photo has publicly apologized:

“I have come here to say that I am incredibly, incredibly sorry,” she said according to AZ Family. “I have love for everyone in my heart. I am not a racist and I’m asking everyone for forgiveness.”

The girls also explained that they took the picture because one of the girl’s boyfriends is black, and that was who the picture was intended for. Well, that makes everything just fine and non-racisty then!

Team Blackness also discussed the Houston grand jury who indicted the videographer behind the fake Planned Parenthood videos, the Delaware House apologizes for slavery, and Obama bans solitary confinement for juveniles in federal prisons.

    I think this goes to show that nobody is a racist anymore. Well, nobody but those aggressive Black people who bitch and moan about racism. They’re the real problem. If only they’d stop being so racistly sensitive, there’d be no racism at all. I blame Obama.

    High schoolers can still be taught (that’s why they’re in school), so I certainly wouldn’t write off a teenager as hopelessly racist.

    They put juveniles in solitary confinement?

    My god, some people are sick.

    This is new to you? Seriously? Sometimes it is/was done because teenager thrown into the big boys’ prison and it was done for the teenager’s protection. Other times, other reasons.

    Is Elon James White a vegan? Does he drink milk or eat cheese and thereby snatch little baby cows away from their mommy cows?

    I demand to know.

    @WereBear:

    As mentioned, it’s theoretically for their own protection, but they aren’t treated any differently than the prisoners who are put there as punishment, so we’re basically punishing them for being too young to defend themselves. Which is sick.

    And the actual story the president tells is even worse — the kid was held in solitary on Riker’s Island for TWO YEARS without ever getting a hearing.

    Baby cows are removed from their mommies theoretically for their own protection, but they aren’t treated any differently than the calves who are taken away as punishment, so we’re basically punishing them for being too young to defend themselves. Which is sick.

    I think it’s useful to distinguish between racist people (i.e. people who proudly confess to racist opinions) and racist behaviors and attitudes, which are much more common. (e.g. I’m not a racist, but I am racist in a number of ways.) And after doing something stupidly racist like this, apologizing is a much better way to go than becoming hostile and defensive.

    If I have to work, so too should a cow or goat or a chicken.

    who the fuck would think a photo calling your boyfriend a slur is appropriate?

    A stupid teenager.

    This is the kind of thing that community service was created to punish.

    @ruemara: What?! You don’t see the side-splitting humor in that?

    I blame Obama…
