The video advertises a phone service for white people to call when they can’t cope with black people living their lives near them. It’s a real phone number we created so that fearful whites can call it for advice, about their racism. The New York Times | NYT Opinion

#PaulMcCowns #Microaggressions #Racisim # HuntingtonBank Vigilant employees of a #Cleveland area bank alerted the authorities to a black man who suspiciously tried to conduct a financial transaction at a financial institution, causing them to question the motives behind his blatant negro shenanigans. WOIO reports that Paul McCowns went to a Huntington Bank branch in Brooklyn, Ohio, to cash his paycheck on Saturday, December 1. McCowns presented the tellers with two forms of identification and offered his fingerprint, which is required of all non-Huntington customers. This apparently raised the eyebrows of the diligent dollar-bill counters who were apparently also working as an undercover investigative team at the bank inside the grocery store on the outskirts of Cleveland. Because everyone knows that’s where the real action is. After looking at his ID and giving him the white look that white people throw at thugs who don’t look like they enjoy mayonnaise souffle, they went thr

A last-ditch effort to block enforcement of a law aimed at Native Americans has failed in court. But the law has also triggered a backlash—and thousands have new credentials. North Dakota’s Native American communities suffered a setback on Thursday, as a court ruled that the state’s voter suppression law can remain in effect for this year’s election. But outrage over the law has led to a huge backlash and grassroots efforts to help people vote despite the law. In 2012, now-Sen. Heidi Heitkamp won a surprise, razor-thin victory to become North Dakota’s only statewide elected Democrat. She won by fewer than 3,000 votes. There are roughly 30,000 Native Americans in North Dakota, roughly 5 percent of the state population, and they overwhelmingly supported Heitkamp. In response, the state’s Republican-dominated legislature passed a new law in that seems specifically intended to make it harder for Native Americans to vote. In addition to a strict ID requirement, the law requires all

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY SARAH ROGERS/THE DAILY BEAST Disney acolytes and Zendaya fans alike got quite the surprise earlier this week, when  rumors  surfaced that the former child star and Disney darling had been offered the lead role of Ariel in the upcoming live-action adaptation of  The Little Mermaid.  The original report implies that casting Zendaya could be a major step for inclusivity in Disney films—since Zendaya is biracial, it’s likely that other actors of color would be cast to play members of her mer-family. Neither Zendaya nor Disney have confirmed—or even commented publicly on—said rumors, but that hasn’t stopped some disgruntled  Little Mermaid  fans from taking to Twitter to express their (mostly racist) frustrations with the alleged casting. pls explain me why black actresses playing white characters isn’t as racist as white actresses playing black characters (yeah im throwing shades at all the people saying that Zendaya can play the little mermaid) — mar; 🥀 (
