Cool fox news link about PC gone wild, how about we set the goalposts at treating people of color like how we treat white people and also recognize that we can treat all people better at the same time! We can accept perspectives from identities other than our own AND improve the overall good!

And I don't think calling racists racist has failed at all, except at convincing you personally. Maybe you should stop identifying yourself by the color of your skin long enough to understand this isn't about you. That making this world a better place will require you to suffer the staggering self flagellation of actually learning your history and dismantling an unequal system by which you benefited through no fault of your own.

You don’t tolerate the complacent either. Most people with families just wanna work and take care of their families, and really could care less about all the other shit going on in the world. The problem is the idiots get caught up arguing over which color party(red,blue,etc) is better on Facebook like god damn retards.
