I don’t fear Trump. But his supporters…
I’m not afraid of Trump (privileged statement, I recognize that). I’m not frightened by him or his politics. He’s a rich man who lives in some little imaginary world, who spews garbage and seeks attention. He’s an old wealthy white man who should be ranting to the nurse who takes care of his toupee and rolls his/her eyes at Trump’s every word.
I’m scared of his supporters. People who you could run into on the streets, who justify every police killing of unarmed Black and Brown youth, who think the U.S. is a complete meritocracy and immigrants are ruining everything. People who deny white privilege, who think Muslims are dangerous, yet they perpetuate white supremacy on a daily basis.
What can we do educate these people (and ourselves, it’s an ongoing process)? If we ignore the existence and effects of white privilege, we won’t be able to even conceive of an effective solution. Right?
La Espinilla / The Pimple
Con una espinilla así… ¿Tengo que declararla cuando pase por la aduana o comprar un boleto adicional para el buque? ¿Cómo funciona?
With a pimple like this, do I need to declare it in customs or buy an extra ticket for the boat? How does this work?
The KKK in L.A.
We fear ISIS….yet allow the KKK to hold rallies in our streets? Terrorism sure is a subjective term.
Repollo
Ayer pedí una ensalada. Estaba muy feliz de aprender que el repollo no es algo como “recontra pollo.”
Politician-MC Duos
We have the Bernie-Killer Mike duo. That makes me wonder…who would other candidates have as rap buds. We already know Daddy Yankee was on team Mccain (barf.)
I think Hillary would totally have Macklemore. Just cuz…come on. Right?
Trump would have Puff Daddy cuz they’re both business men first, and would throw anyone around them under the bus. Ted Cruz…Lil Jon, since you just listen to him and go…”WWWWWHAT?” Jeb Bush and Rick Ross, since you know they’re both lying out of their asses with all that braggadocio. Martin O’Malley would be hanging with Swamburger because…let’s be real…you don’t know who either of them are, even though you probably should. Chris Christie and Big Pun, for obvious reasons.
I actually feel like this is pretty accurate. Thoughts?
I’ll throw in a bonus 2012 edition…
Obama with Common, not only because they are buds, but…they both started strong and my support for them has dwindled (more for Common than Obama.)
La Murga Uruguaya
Anoche vi por primera vez la murga aquí en Uruguay y…guau… increiiiible…Creo que andaba con una sonrisa toda la noche. Ver algo tan crítico, tan político, tan anti materialista y anti capitalista recibido de esa manera por el público, todos ahí mirando y escuchando por dos horas enteras, niños y niñas viendo desde los hombros de sus papás, escuchando críticas de Coca Cola, de las salchichas, del comercialismo y capitalismo y las propagandas y mucho mucho más…aún no puedo procesar todo. Me encantó.
I…
Has the day come where a day without a mass shooting is surprising? Seriously. It just…I don’t…it doesn’t……
Las Dudas
Más dudas que neuronas ahí arriba…
Turkeys
How does my mind work? I was just thinking about Thanksgiving, about all of the turkeys that are killed. It’s a little depressing from a vegetarian standpoint. Then I read this title in the news”Turkey Says It Shot Down A Russian Warplane Near Border With Syria” and for a split second, I wondered “Are they revolting?”
