Who is voting for this personification of a wet sock?

Also how did he go from black face to a spiel about the lgbt. I’m convinced he really is gay. Not that I care, I just don’t like it being compared to black face.

And never tell me to put myself in a white person’s position unless that’s followed by giving me advantages and wealth. That’s such an insulting statement. Give me reparations so I can put myself in a white persons position

Hundreds of years later, we're still supposed to pretend like white people don't know what racism is? They're practicing systematic white supremacy in all 50 states and abroad by accident? We need to explain to them what blackface is and why it's offensive? :mjlol:

I hate people like Cory Booker even worse than open white supremacists in some ways. Enablers of white supremacy are dangerous as hell.

Here’s what he said in context. Not as sexy and rage inducing as the headline, but I’ll let y’all cook.


The Washington Post

-“How do we get to a point where we can start having these conversations without folks falling into a defensive crouch?”

-Cory has had several of his white friends approach him “in safety” and say they “don’t get it” when it comes to the controversy surrounding blackface.

-Says we need to be open, “graceful” and willing to teach white people who are ignorant about it. There are some who are afraid to ask questions.

-“If you wanna have more courageous empathy, put yourself in a white person’s position”
