Please help Devin get back of his feet. By donating, you will help him keep going until he can get a new job, so please donate, and share to someone who can if you can't. He is not asking for much, just what he needs to not be bogged down by the terrible surprise of him being fired.

A Black Man who’s exhausted all his small savings after losing his job is asking for help. While currently looking for work he needs help with past due bills and making rent. If we each give $1 he’ll reach his goal. We’ve helped 159 people so far, let’s keep going.

In the late 90s the oldest white woman in the world came into the store I worked in, asked to see the manager, saw our manager was Black and yelled that she wanted a white manager, then proudly declared that seeing Black people with authority over white people made her want to spit on them.

I’ve told this story before: during prospective student weekend at Harvard, I sat through a group of white & Asian Am. prospies talking about how all the Black & Latino admits were affirmative action cases. I was not the only Black or Latino person in the room with them.

Like it is totally tragic that they don't care what white liberals think of them anymore and that the balance of power is such that they are able to do even more of this shit consequence-free but they were always calling us monkeys and hanging nooses at school and getting away with it. that matters.

So many people of color who ever attended a majority white college or university or high school could tell you tales about their racist peers or instructors.

It is something we are/have been expected to endure.

There's a fascinating split on the timeline today with a bunch of white people arguing that these people weren't like this in the past and all the Black people saying that they absolutely were like this in the past. A real "Two Americas" moment.

A noose was hung from a tree on the pathway to the “Black parking lot” in high school at the same that “Re-nig Obama” stickers were getting passed around, but I’m supposed to believe someone telling me that they had no clue that the Republican Party was steeped in racism growing up. Yeah okay.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
