if you are white, and you understand why you wouldn’t say “your mom” to somebody whose mother is dead, but you would say it to your friend whose mother is alive and well, then you understand why you shouldn’t use the n-word but why “cracker” is not that big a deal

Yo racists need to learn that being nice does not equal being good.

Actually, even more insidious, a lot of conventions of being “nice” are just ways to keep anyone who’s oppressed quiet. Fuck being nice, get rude, doggz.

I used to think of myself as "nice", which means being someone who works her hardest to make sure no one else is uncomfortable, ever. But over the last few years I've begun to realize that if you're uncomfortable because people are making you feel bad about your behavior ("Where are you from?" "You look exotic." "Oh sure let me just touch you because you're a waitress and you don't mind"), you DESERVE to be uncomfortable. 

Fuck nice. GET RUDE.

CON: or, the NYT thinks it’s super clever - “Hey guys, get it? Carry a district, like in votes? Get it?”

PRO: trying very hard not to laugh while writing this article, especially when forced to use the term “Claymates”

ALSO please note that CLAY AIKEN is running for Congress. CONGRESS, you guys.
