South Carolina Is Lobbying to Allow Discrimination Against Jewish Parents

“THE [t]RUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering whether to grant a South Carolina request that would effectively allow faith-based foster care agencies in the state the ability to deny Jewish parents from fostering children in its network. The argument, from the state and from the agency, is that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act should not force a Protestant group to work with Jewish people if it violates a tenet of their faith.

“That discrimination would apply not just to Jewish parents, but also to parents who are Muslim, Catholic, Unitarian, atheist, agnostic or other some other non-Protestant Christian denomination.”

YALL! liTERALLY! NAZIS! FUCKING VOTE!

IF YOU WANTED ANY MORE PROOF THAT GAMERS ARE TRASH YOU ALL NEED TO SEE THAT MY PROVINCE IS WILD

IT WAS A FUCKING MASTERSWORD

Almost all the comments are literally #notallgamers.

Point flew right over your head.

The point was that many but not all gamers have serious issues with misogyny, and too often the result of that misogyny is physical violence towards women.

Do better, men. Call this shit out when you see it, so that women don’t have to fear being impaled by their husbands.

I am saying this as a man and a gamer. Who is tired of hearing casual misogyny in this community.

Amandla Stenberg Said She’s Seen a Lot of White People Cry During “The Hate U Give”

Amandla Stenberg’s newest movie The Hate U Give follows high schooler Starr Carter (played by Amandla), whose life changes when police shoot and kill her unarmed friend Khalil.

The movie, based on Angie Thomas’s book of the same name, also stars KJ Apa, Issa Rae, Russell Hornsby, Algee Smith, Sabrina Carpenter, Anthony Mackie, and Common; and discusses systemic racism, code-switching, and police brutality. They’re understandably heavy topics, and as Amandla noted in a recent interview, the film has resulted in audiences — and especially white audiences — becoming emotional.

While talking with Trevor Noah on the Daily Show on Oct. 16 Amandla pinpointed a marker of the movie’s impact. “I saw people cry in the cinema,” Trevor said during the interview. Amandla then agreed, adding, “We have a lot of white people crying, which is great. I’ve never seen so many white people crying before.“

Trevor also asked how the actor would measure success “beyond the white people crying.” Laughing, Amandla responded, “White people crying actually was the goal!” She explained further, noting: “We wanted to make sure that those who have been affected by the ways the media misconstrues these events actually have a real sense of empathy and are able to place themselves into the shoes of our communities.”
