    Conservative white American Christians are silent about how much the conservative white American version of Christianity contributes to these incidents.

    There's this whole first half of the Bible called "the Old Testament" that might surprise you if you read it.

    AUSTIN, TX—Deeply lamenting the loss of young Mark Anthony Conditt, the precocious yet thoughtful go-getter with a penchant for politics, city officials confirmed Thursday that the true Austin bomber was everyone who failed this sensitive, promising kid. “What our investigation is attempting to determine is this: Who’s the real terrorist here? And all the evidence points to it being everyone who refused to recognize the brilliance existing deep inside this sensitive, socially concerned young man,” said Austin Police Chief Brian Manley at a press conference, during which officials distributed a report listing multiple instances of the greater Austin community failing to nurture the vision and talent of the budding young genius, an oversight at least as dangerous as the series of bombs that left two dead and several others injured last week.

    The real terrorism was the friends we made along the way

    When was the last time a black victim was portrayed as the more sympathetic party rather than the white perpetrator? For those who don't get it, when was the last time you went into a room/setting and immediately understood that you were the different party and those around you knew that as well? Go to China/Tehran/Lagos and walk the street and remember that feeling when you come back home.

    The reason we say if he's Muslim, he's a terrorist; if he's black, he's a thug; if he's white, he's mentally ill is because that usually turns out to be the truth?

    The US code of federal regulations is not the final word on usage.

    The real racism isn’t the pointing out of the racism. It’s just the racism of a racist country.
