    The question you have to ask yourself, though, is this: Do I want to scold white people for their privilege, or do I want to get them on my side to fix it? In my experience, rubbing their noses in it is going to set people’s minds against you.

    I think you are making the same mistake they do. You can’t very well get someone to help fix a problem if you don’t let them know the problem exists. Just discussing or explaining white privilege isn’t the same as scolding someone about it. The folks who take it that way are going to take it that way no matter what terms we use, because they don’t want to admit it exists.














  • He’s grown more agitated with news coverage and has failed to find a way to explain why he started the war — or how he will end it — that resonates with a public concerned by American deaths in the conflict, surging oil prices and dropping financial markets. Even some of his supporters are questioning his plan and his overall poll numbers are declining.

    I feel like these articles are just feel-good puff pieces for those of us who don’t support trump. Best as I can tell he continues to do whatever he wants and it really doesn’t matter how it sits with laws or judges or congress. Poll numbers certainly don’t matter to him. He stands no chance of being impeached (or convicted if somehow he was.)

    You get headlines like this article because it’s what we want to hear, but in the end he just does what he wants.
