    Louie CK says it perfectly. It is undeniable.

    Someone can link the video if they want, but he says that white people aren't better. Being white is CLEARLY better.

    That's what crandc already did, and does in all her posts. Tired of her getting special treatment and being allowed to continually hurl racist and sexist insults and lies at us with impunity.

    I think I'll coin a term. Tardsplain. I'm tired of having things tardsplained to me by people who can't see the forest for the trees.

    People in this country need schooling and jobs. Everything sold here is made in China and the tardsplainers will die if Hillary doesn't get elected and finish off the rest of our jobs.

    It will be tardsplained to us how our economy has moved away from industry and towards information and service providers.

    Then it will be tardsplained to me how poor inner cities will be miraculously transformed by the police leaving them alone. Of course it makes sense to destroy shit and beat up white people. They do have most of the good jobs that haven't left this country. Yet.

    If I see a personal insult from someone I edit or remove it. No one gets special treatment. I've even edited Denny's posts. If you see something that you think might be a personal insult please bring it to my attention.

    She assumed Dviss1 is too afraid to read the comments. The title wasn't "honest question, don't whitesplain",

    They are vile hate terms directed at a specific race or sex. No difference from the n-word. Used to demean and debase a selected class of people that the poster has developed a strong personal hate for.

    I went to a friend's wedding in East Palo Alto a few years back. Another ghetto story. It's right across the 101 freeway from Palo Alto, one of the richest neighborhoods in the entire world. There were rumors that the police department there shut down at 9PM. They built the freeway to segregate the black folks from the white.

    The Bay is a natural feature to segregate the blacks in Oakland from San Francisco - the difference between the two neighboring cities is night and day.

    Anyhow, at the wedding, I noticed half the cars in the parking lot had bullet holes in them.

    I would still go because, it was my friend's wedding.

    Not the same at all.

    She's definitely in your face and strongly opinionated. If you're not used to a real feminist, you wouldn't recognize it.

    http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/09/obama.reid/

    Reid apologizes for racial remarks about Obama during campaign


    The authors quote Reid as saying privately that Obama, as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."

    "He [Reid] was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a 'light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,' " Halperin and Heilemann say.

    "Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama's race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination," they write.

    Really? You're going to play that card? People were MERCILESS in their ridicule for George W Bush. They called him a moron. They called him a monkey. They made cartoons depicting him as a child. People are brutal towards the President. Considering nobody has taken a shot at Obama, I think he's ahead of Kennedy, Lincoln, and Reagan.
