First Lady's Bare Arms Cause Uproar

From March 2009. Meanwhile, naked pics of the Evil One's wife have surfaced from when she did a photo shoot for a magazine at age 25. I actually don't care that Melania posed naked for a magazine. It's the ridiculous double-standard, possibly even racist in origin, and the fact that Republicans often tout super-conservative views.

The Sugarcoated Language Of White Fragility

"Imagine that people of color start learning about race and racism from childhood, and go on to earn the equivalent of advanced degrees in the subject just to get through everyday life. But most White people are given a pat on the head in 2nd grade, a fake diploma, and told we can skip all the other classes, because this subject doesn’t really apply to us. What’s written on our diploma? “Racists are bad people. But you are good.” "

28 COMMON RACIST ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS

Of course I'm racist. I've benefitted from white privilege all my life, and I have the luxury of taking a break from the struggle whenever I get tired. I'm working toward ending racism. I'm not proud of the racist traits I do possess. But I'd be flat out lying if I pretended I didn't recognize myself in a few of these items.

A Perfect Explanation for Why White People Need to Stop Saying #AllLivesMatter

Please excuse a small amount of strong language in some of the comments quoted (they are otherwise positive). When you have a problem with people saying "black lives matter," and/or you feel the need to respond with "all lives matter," THIS is why you're not only not being helpful, you're heaping insult upon centuries of injury.

The Crushing Culture of Parental Expectations

We don't want our son to be "the best" at anything except figuring out who he is and what he wants to do in life to contribute to society in a positive way. We want him to excel in the way he deals with people and is helpful. Other than that, we'll leave "success" and achievement to other people's kids.
