Congratulations! *g*

OMG - Why is this happening in our world?!?! In my world, kindness and love trump everything and everyone is color/gender/orientation blind! treat people with love and they would reply in kind!

Just bake the damn cake and leave the bigoted rhetoric out of it! Everyone's money is worth the same value! Same reason I would never eat at Chick-fill-a!

The cartoon is right on!! Thosse two deserve each other, but can our world survive their "friendship"?

I have no words for what's happening. I mean, I am getting used to the idea that some people are mean and cruel, but to do this to kids? WTF indeed. And have you ever noticed it's always the brown kids? What happened to "Kids need two parents"? and "Save the children"? *shakes head*

You know what? I think they should be able to refuse to serve gays or blacks or jews or whoever, as long as they have to declare it in a sign in front that says "We're bigoted racists and only serve white people" or whatever. These days I am tired of wondering if the white person smiling at me is actually a nazi/KKK sympathizer. At this point I'm all for them just being open about it so i can avoid them. :((

Lord, I have no idea what is going to happen with N Korea. At this rate we may turn into it since our president evidently wants us to act like the north Koreans. Ugh.

Hold me! *clings* ♥

It's in hashtags as #livingwhileblack and #existingwhileblack. :/

Yep.
And I live black every day. Makes life in Trump's Amerikkka interesting.

I'm genderqueer, Pagan, and a bunch of other things that Trumplestiltskin hates.

While I look white at a casual glance, I'm more mixed; and culturally, I don't really think like a white person. Violence against people of color still alarms me in ways that just don't bother most people. They don't see it as a threat to their personal survival. I do.

It's hard to fix, though. A backlash swing can have devastating momentum.

Wait, only 9 of 16 correct answers?!? What's going on? Not only are you an expert HP fan, you're a whiz at all tests, A. Have you been feeling well?

:)

Meanwhile, swimming while black....yikes, yikes, yikes. M.

[alisanne]

LOL! It's because it was timed, i think. I get stressed out. :P

I swear, breathing while black is getting dangerous... :/

Your value

[jaydsdmyname]
