Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

This blog will pay for itself.

No one could have predicted…

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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.

    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…
