you are not what you own

But that does nothing to diminish the harm it causes. The underlying message is, your accent means you're worthy of being mocked — you'll never belong. Seriously, I just want to go back to being a longsuffering Tigers fan because they're bad, not racist

Disappointed but not surprised at the racist remarks made by Jack Morris against Shohei Ohtani during yesterday's broadcast. Also, totally not surprised at the number of people defending Morris, trying to explain it away, or dismiss it outright

[daniel so @headsparks]

Yeah, you can always find that Asian person who says, "Well *I'm* not like those other Asians, I'M not offended, I thought it was hilarious" — good grief, the immediate selling out of your people is another consistent theme when these kinds of things happen (which is too often)

Mike Richards comes across as truly disrespectful and repugnant on so many levels — from the lazy, disgusting, misogynistic "banter" that he tries to pass off as "decades old comedy" on his podcast to manipulating power dynamics to get his dream job

Last week Mike Richards wrote that lawsuits from The Price Is Right didn’t “reflect the reality of who I am.”
I went looking for who he is, talking to current and former colleagues and listening to a podcast he hosted at Price. What I found was troubling. https://t.co/A8AEsPHCMA

Thank you to anyone who has checked out the new song. Fruition is about watching someone you care about grow into the person they are meant to be. We’ve watched young people shoulder the weight of the world this past year and their effort is an inspiration.

Thankful that *finally* there is a measure of accountability and still grieving (and raging against) that we live in times where it feels surprising

BREAKING: Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin has been found guilty of all counts, including murder, in the death of George Floyd.

Now, everyone call it “the murder of George Floyd.”

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

This is accountability.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

Guilty on all three counts. My only wish: The jury should have only deliberated for 9 minutes and 28 seconds. #DerekChauvinTrial
