A bizarre racist outburst at a Texas school board isn’t an isolated event — it’s part of a national pattern
When another trustee asked Dungan if she personally objected to an illustration of cross-racial friendship, she demurred, simply declaring that she was just trying to avoid “situations like that.” Situations like what, exactly? She didn’t say. Dungan’s behavior is a perfect illustration of the “anti-woke” tap dance. The person alleging nefarious wokeness never admits to their own bigotry, instead pretending that they’re reacting to “woke” people who are “pushing” an agenda, in this case through innocuous poster art. Of course, the entire premise of the argument is rooted in bigotry, as this example shows. It presumes that the feelings of real or imagined bigots who might take umbrage at such an image are of paramount importance, and that everyone else’s freedoms must be curtailed to appease them.
Fucking thank you, Amanda Marcotte. Nail on the head.
And thank you for using the word “innocuous” because my god it’s a picture of people holding hands in a school. It probably had something like “teamwork makes the dream work” on it because holy fuck these people probably boil their eyeballs in piss before they stick them in their sockets.

Oh shit, new Klanned Karenhood just dropped!
So I guess ‘Mom’s for Liberty’ had to start the rebranding process after getting caught quoting Hitler?
Mama Bear Rising, fuck this Sarah Palin sounding bullshit.
Humans are animals…
If we’re not socialized with other races while young, then we grow up thinking of other races as “them” instead of “us”. It’s instincts from when we lived in tribes and anyone that you didn’t grow up around was the enemy. But the same as a dog needing to be exposed to other animals while young so they’re used to them as an adult.
Which is why adult racists have an issue with non-segregated schools.
They want kids to grow up and be racist like they are. They want the next generation to only look as deep as skin color to determine if someone is friend or foe.
Same reason Alabama banned Sesame Street long after PBS had it in every other state.
The individual racists probably don’t understand it, but the ones leading the mobs understand the psychology behind this shit. Like how in American History X Ed Norton didn’t understand what he was doing, but the old asshole in charge was playing chess. Dont discount racists as idiots that don’t know any better. Some are actually smart and manipulating the mob of uneducated idiots.

My mother would edit our episodes on VCR with all the spanish parts and visiting other countries out. So we could only watch that show on tape, never off the TV itself.
There is a reason why I have never felt the need to introduce her to her grandchildern.
Yes. My experience has been that nobody is as racist as Northern men who move to Florida. My ex said he went to “the white school” in Michigan, up north is segregated for real. We had enforced school integration but as a kid I was not aware of it, just went to school with school kids - it still got sort of segregated but not really, and my kids even less so, it does work.
But then those guys move down here and are not prepared for how diverse our population is. And they react badly.
In the South a black guy can be your neighbor but never your boss, in the North a black guy can be your boss but never your neighbor.
Pretty much the same in any country with a majority ethnic population. They lived in an area for hundreds, sometimes fighting wars for it, and so it’s not easy to have them give away their lands to people who are completely different down to the religion and imagine a completely different future. America is being pushed to have a civil war over it though likely to other countries interest. One that is very ethnically populated mind you.
You can call it faith if you want. I think humans can share resources with other humans even if they are different without civil wars.
So it wasn’t the student, it was the kids PARENT that was offended
These people are mentally disturbed and they probably shouldn’t be allowed to have kids
It’s never the young kids that get offended by this stuff. That sort of bigotry is taught.

That is a very good take.
Also: it’s always projection. Conservatives push an agenda, so they assume everyone else does too.
This sure sounds like their next step will be insisting on segregation.
We all know what “Make America Great Again” means.
Same thing as when Reagan used it for his campaign.
I mean, they couldn’t go with George Wallace’s “segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” quite yet…
Holy crap, I was just reading his Wikipedia page. He is such a piece of shit. His wife died of cancer in May 1968. Her doctor had told him, not her, of the diagnosis in 1961 and he kept it secret from her. I knew about the segregation stuff, but that is just the shit frosting on the shit cake.
What made it even worse was that she was technically the governor when she died. Alabama had a law back then that prohibited governors from serving consecutive terms. However, there was no rule against a woman running for governor. So George got his wife Lurleen, who had cancer at the time, to run for governor in his place. She won, but everyone knew who the governor really was.
Next step? They’re already doing it. You don’t need to be overtly racist to segregate communities fyi, income brackets and gerrymandering do a wonderful job at promoting racial segregation without the need to be outwardly bigoted
Fuck these racist bigots

We need to stop diminishing racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry by calling them anti-woke.
Lol! I was born in Ukraine, my best friend was born in Venezuela.
What a bunch of crap.
I’m mixed and I get along pretty well with myself. Suck it Texas.
We wouldn’t want kids’ eyes opened by spending time with people different from them. We must keep them ignorant and hateful.
Tell me again why they aren’t nazis
I mean, some of them are. Many of them are nazi-lite. They get upset if you point it out, though. A lot of them probably believe they are fine upstanding patriots. A few can be talked to, and some can even change, but most just dig in deeper, so the problem doesn’t seem likely to go away; it seems to be getting worse.
I’m ok for removing nazi-lite at the same time as nazi, though.
Bears deserve better than to be associated with these freaks.
Freaks deserve better than to be associated with these… entities.
Thats not “anti woke” thats just racism dumb ass
To be fair, racism is absolutely one of the core values of anti woke ideology.
That’s just straight up racism.
These morons want to turn the means of evolution off while still thinking themselves evolutionary superior.
