So, I'm closing up the shop, when a drunk man...
He asks to buy a soda for 60 cents and I’m too tired to fight so I agree, roll my eyes and hold out my hand. Instead of handing me the change, he holds my hand. I tell him to let go and he doesn’t oblige, so I reach for what I think is the bat next to me, behind the counter.
It wasn’t a bat, it was a rolled-up Doctor Who poster, and I bopped him on the head with it.
I just...

I hope Rick Santorum decides not to forward that chain e-mail to 75 of his closest friends and then the threat comes true.

I hope Rick Santorum gets a paper cut on the back of his knuckle but doesn’t realize it until an hour later and it’s stinging.

I hope Rick Santorum sits in one place for too long and loses feeling in one of his feet so that when the phone rings he stumbles a little trying to walk across the room to answer.

Oh, and one more thing, there is NO SUCH THING AS...
Seriously. Stop saying that, it’s squicky.
The concept of a caucasian race was developed around 1800 by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German scientist and classical anthropologist, and he named it after the Caucasian peoples (from the Southern Caucasus region), who he thought were an archetype for the grouping.
Blumenbach said:
Caucasian variety - I have taken the name of this...
Prejudice: [PoC calls white person a cracker].
Racism: Two centuries of PoC being stolen from their homelands, driven out of their native lands, tricked, raped, infected with disease, and otherwise downtrodden so as to remove them from any chance of being the dominant race.
Prejudice: [PoC gives a white person a nickname playing on the fact that they're white].
Racism: PoC must, from the moment they realize a baby is on the way, worry about whether giving a child a name reflecting their heritage will affect their chances at a good life in the future. Hint: it will.
Not racism: Calling out that slavery lasted for two centuries, and civil rights did not happen for PoC until the 20th Century (you know, the century which only ended TWELVE YEARS AGO).
Racism: We should not talk about it, because it makes [non-PoC] feel bad.
Not racism: A non-PoC actor can get pretty much any role s/he wnats.
Racism: ... including roles that were originally written as PoC. PoC actors must settle for roles making them servants, sassy women, jive turkey men, criminals, drug addicts, or abused downtrodden prostitutes, the better to reinforce the negative mental image of PoC in the minds of the zeitgeist, and hold up the excuse that "they bring it on themselves".
Not Racism: Flattering pictures of people used to represent them on the web.
Racism: Flattering pictures of Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachman. But the most unflattering pic available of Michelle Obama is used for the same article.
Not Racism: Articles about women's features.
Racism: Article purporting to have scientific "proof" that Black women are uglier than women of any other race.
Not Racism: America is where everyone is supposed to have equal chance.
Racism: Equal chance? Freed slaves were lucky if they got 40 Acres and a Mule, after working for free for generations for people who are now wealthy and offered no other reparations.
Not Racism: Irish History Month, Italian History Month, French History Month, German History Month, etc. All of which would, technically, qualify, btw, as White History Months.
Racism: It's not Cameroon History Month, Nigerian History Month, Egyptian History Month, Zimbabwean History Month, Zaire History Month, Somalian History Month, etc. It's BLACK History Month. Doesn't matter what country in Africa you come from. If you're Black you just all get lumped in together.
Not Racism: PoC describe their experiences.
Racism: Non-PoC interrupt, derail, silence, mock, deride, or cite "oversensitivity" because it makes them feel uncomfortable to know that PoC have endured this, and to have to acknowledge their privilege -- and their responsibility to do something about it if they really are as anti-racist as they profess.

I really tried to let this go.
You posted this last night and I braced myself, scanned it quickly, got angry, and I just unfollowed you. I decided to just let this one slip by. Not fight this one.

HA, okay, so do you remember when that creep was...
And how he put her down in front of the director of a multi-million dollar feature film?
WELL
She’s still doing craft services for them and has a month or so left working on the film. She reached a boiling point and finally told the creep to fuck off in a pretty public way and he left her alone. I couldn’t be prouder of her for this. Like, knowing her, I’m sure her version of...

I’m about to ruin your whole fucking night.
I have this friend, Elsa. Okay, so we’re friends in the loosest sense of the word. We were closer, but we’ve been drifting, and I’ve let it happen because she was never the type of person I wanted to stay connected with anyway, you know? She’s one of those girls that means well, but she tries to smooth my rough edges. She...
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.

Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
