In addition to generally being trash, cops are also really fucking weird. They’ll publicly decry claims that they’re racist but in private will be in Facebook groups saying some truly vile shit. Apparently, they know that being racist is bad, but instead of not being racist, they simply lie about it. Take for instance a…

Trump Continues to Weaponize Twitter and Sharon Shows Karens How to Be an Ally
For President Trump, Twitter serves several purposes. First, it is his bully pulpit (more bully than pulpit) in which he vaguely threatens and intimidates rivals.

DC Fire Department Launches Investigation After Picture Surfaces of Recruits Flashing Possible White Power Signs
I’ve never been a gang member or a white supremacist before, but apparently hand gestures come along with the territory.

Judge of Characters: Confronting Racism Does Not Make You Racist
The Root is a platform that unapologetically confronts racism. But it seems that the racists we call out often attempt to flip the script on us—specifically me and Judge of Characters—by labeling me a racist.
