White guy goes to white med school, wears KKK hood in yearbook pic, gets elected governor

White lady goes to segregation academy, says she’d sit front row @ lynching, gets elected US senator

White guy spreads racist lie on Black POTUS, calls Mexicans rapists, gets elected POTUS
White guy takes money from bigot who calls 1st Black POTUS ‘Muslim n*gger,’ calls Black opponent a monkey, gets elected governor

White guy suppresses votes of 50,000 Blacks, purges Blacks from voter rolls, overseas his own election against a Black woman, gets elected governor
Openly racist white supremacist guy who proudly displays confederate flag on his desk gets elected to Congress from Iowa 9 times

White pimp, hates blacks, Muslims and immigrants, dies prior to election day, still gets elected in Nevada
There are far more examples of known racists being elected, not in the 60s, present day. The common denominator: wypipo elect them, act like they don’t know, remain silent...

...and only when their bigotry hits the fan, pretend they’re shocked & want to do something about it.
What’s sad in this Northam situation is watching wypipo argue about which party is more racist.

You don’t get a prize for being “less racist.“

Black people have suffered at the hands of Dems and Repubs.

GOP, get rid of Trump, King, & Hyde Smith instead of victory lapping.

Dear white politicians

Stop going to Black churches telling them how much you hate racism....

.... Go to white churches and tell them.
Dear Black Churches

Stop pushing a prosperity gospel and allowing white politicians who care nothing for Black communities to come into our churches...

... embrace a gospel of liberation and social justice, work on behalf of our communities, and hold politicians accountable.
Dear white Churches

Stop pretending you had no culpability in the past & present dehumanization of Black people. Own it...

...Stop denying social justice as a biblical mandate & voting for those who uphold white supremacy, privilege, & patriarchy.

Trump isn’t ‘God’s anointed.’

If the #CovingtonBoys were BLACK, y’all would be calling them thugs and animals. No way would you be defending them.

Just STOP.
Same folks crying #CovingtonBays are being mislabeled had no problem labeling #TrayvonMartin & #MichaelBrown ‘thugs’ or blaming 12 yr old #TamirRice for his own death.

When innocent unarmed white boys start getting murdered for being white you can talk.

Until then, SHUT UP!
Here are the #CovingtonBoys harassing women in video taken by @roflinds right before they mocked the Native American elder. Guess they were ‘provoked’ here too, right.

(White) boys will be (white) boys, right? Black boys woulda been accused of assault.

America’s double standard: white women marry, birth, raise, work for, partner with, support, vote for, defend & excuse, vile, racist, white supremacist men everyday - fathers, sons, husbands, lovers, business partners, etc.

But aren’t held responsible for their words or actions.
The same white women, like @MeghanMcCain, who support, defend, make excuses for, vile, racist, white supremacist, white men, hypocritically want to hold Black women accountable for what full grown Black men have to say.
"The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great"

-@MeghanMcCain

McCain’s America lynched, murdered, falsely imprisoned, segregated, & treated Blacks as less than human. He opposed civil rights and #MLKDay.

No, it wasn’t so great.

🌖GOVERNOR MOONBEAM THREAD🌔 I sat down with the former California gov at the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival. The sometimes prickly @JerryBrownGov was in a relaxed, romantic mood, with his wife, Anne Gust Brown, in the front row bantering with him. Here’s what he had to say...
He’s got plans to visit New Hampshire and Iowa — not that running is in his “current thinking,” as he says. “I might have to just stir up the pot a bit. Not for myself but for those other 25 people who are aspiring to the office.”
On whether women candidates have to be “likable”: “I think we’re always judged on likability and I think that’s something a lot of politicians don’t want to admit. But I can tell you, when they throw you out, most times they didn’t like you. They got tired of you.”

I've no problem with people calling for Northam to resign. I'm 100% fine with it. But if you're doing so and *haven't* publicly called for Trump to resign at least *30 times*, including after he called neo-Nazis "fine people" in *2017*, I have *strong* feelings about your values.
2/ This applies, as Gillibrand said, to both "friends and foes." Virginia Republican Party, *fuck you*. And any Democrat who let Trump be racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic as hell and *didn't* call for him to resign because you didn't want to seem "partisan," screw you, too.
3/ To put a finer point on it: we already know history will damn this era's GOP for being hypocrites who put party over country or basic decency. But all *Democrats* who call on Northam to resign—which is fine—must *also* be asked if they're currently demanding that Trump resign.

Confederate flags EVIL
Black face? KKK?
not so much...

Democrats circle the wagons.
#RalphNortham #Virginia
Former Virginia Governor @TerryMcAuliffe tells us racism has no place in Virginia.
#RalphNortham #Democrat
Also....
Where did #RalphNortham go to school?
A medical school would print this crap in their
yearbook and no one said anything?

Time to look deeper

Amelia Cook: pineapple-loving supervillain
@ActuallyAmelia
School Babysitters doing much better since that whole “paedophiles are hilarious” misstep
Ryuichi is being very teenager-naive, and Kamitani is being very teenager-cynical. I love how different but still plausible they are.
I wish School Babysitters would follow this to the most obvious conclusion...
