I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

This author does not subscribe to that dream.

All drama all the time.

As far as I can tell, she is still taking classes. Still allowed to protest. Her professors aren’t marking her down because of he oh-so-dangerous political beliefs. I bet she still even goes off campus to the store, say, and the tellers ring her up just as if she were a normal human.

She’s suddenly a stranger in a strange land, except nobody but her has noticed.

In other words, NOTHING HAS CHANGED FOR HER, except imaginary internal drama levels.

To be sure, she has had to endure other people wearing MAGA hats. And she suffered the indignity of having to walk past a young republicans table. So there’s that.

My advice to her is to take one of the following choices : (1) Move. If you are an imaginary alien in the South, then you can be an imaginary person who belongs somewhere else. It’s all in your head. So maybe Las Vegas. (2) Get a pajama boy boyfriend. Get him involved in your drama and take it all out on him. But spare us.

Wait until she tries to find a real job—under Trump & a growing economy—and when she finds out that her sense of ‘entitlement’ & her ‘snowflake’ identity won’t be an asset for her.

She needs to grow the hell up.

Note to this kid: When you have a real education, sweetie, and you have something to offer an employer, you might find some happiness. I certainly hope that you are majoring in a topic that has a job on the horizon & that you truly enjoy that kind of work. Otherwise, you are wasting the time & money & stealing a seat from a student who might really care alot more.

I don’t care one little bit whether you are black—or female—or lost in your own thoughts.....when you are away from work.

IF I hire you—I have the right to EXPECT that you have the qualifications to DO THE JOB—to show up on time every day you are required to be ON THE JOB— appropriately groomed & dressed FOR THE JOB-—and ready to put in a full day’s work ON THE JOB.

I will never be signing a paycheck for someone who thinks that ANY calls on THEIR cell phone are more important that the work I am paying you to perform. Your cell phone is off limits during working hours. Same for computer contacts. I am not hiring you to take care of YOUR personal business on my working dime.

I will be very cognizant of what you know—how your perform on the JOB I am PAYING YOU FOR—and what your attitude is.

Otherwise-—don’t darken my door with an application.

BTW—I don’t hire off the internet with internet applications. I will put up notices that I am hiring-—and YOU had better show up IN PERSON, act appropriately, and be of a mind that YOU ARE GLAD TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY to even be interviewed.

You have been given a privilege that many of your prospective employers didn’t have—a college education. However, I am NOT REQUIRED to start your possible employment at a high enough salary for you ‘to pay your student loans—your new fancy car—or your high priced apartment’—or to take that vacation ‘you have always wanted’. You WILL be a ‘PROBATIONARY’ employee for 6 months. You will accumulate vacation pay AFTER one full year of active employment. I won’t be offering ‘family leave’ if you wish to get pregnant. That decision is yours—so YOU DECIDE if you want to work or be a Mommy. I don’t run a company large enough to have you missing for any length of time not agreed to in advance by both of us. That includes your vacation usage.

Keep in mind that those of us who can sign the FRONT of your paycheck have a large stake in how your perform. We are not interested in you demanding Kwanza off or time off to protest that Shrillary didn’t get elected.

I am not your MINISTER or your SHRINK. I am your EMPLOYER. IF it becomes a Federal demand that I MUST give family leave, I will be downsizing my operations to the bare bones.

IT will be time to act like an adult & think like an adult. GOOD LUCK.

As a 12-year-old I heard MLK say that.
Even as a young boy it intuitively made perfect intellectual and moral sense to me.
I’ve tried to live my life in accord with it.

“Comments?”

Yes. It’s all I the author’s mind. There has not been, nor will there be any widespread racism, bigotry, hatred, or intolerance from white people or conservatives. Liberal whites and “minorities” have spent the past 8 years living in a euphoric state of mental masturbation. The only hate on display is clear ok them towards those of us that do not think, speak, act or subscribe to their fantasies and idiocy.

Piss on this little black snowflake and every other delicate, liberal, fascist college terd.

What is really shameful are those that have convinced her that this is reality. The media, liberal professors and this President have made a generation of young black people believe they’re such victims of “conservative and racist” Americans.

Here she is, a black woman at university, clothes on her back, food in her stomach, roof over her head and the only thing stopping her career is how much she studies and stays childless out of wedlock. In a historical context she has no idea how privileged she is. Considering historical difficulties, including war, famine, slavery, etc. - she should feel as though this is a great time to be alive. Yet she doesn’t, she believes this is a terrible time.

Not unbelievable but a shame.

The thing is too. That outside of the DC beltway. Trump won the rest of Virginia easily.Even with the 60,000 illegal felon votes. Liberalism is a mental disorder as Rush says.

The woman has been indoctrinated into her undeserved fears. Because of her indoctrination, not her unjustified fears, I sympathize with her.

Try walking-while-white in many, many areas of that city.

That comment is as out of touch with reality as her comments.
I live in South Atlanta and can walk-while-white anywhere I want.

WAAAA I’m black I’m a victim. WAAA I’m black look at me. WAAAA I’m black. WAAA I’m black look at me. WAAA. voting for a white woman is not racist but voting for a white man is racist. WAAA I’m black, you’re all racist. WAAA I’m black and it defines everything about me. WAAA. I’m black and that’s all I am. WAAA I’m black...

She obviously was impressed with Hillary’s purse full of hot sauce as well as her ability to open a jar of pickles.

She pens mildly illiterate fake news from a racist black student union bldg to push the false meme of white racism. It’s sad.

Meanwhile, Emory has about a 5% black student pop in a state made up of about 35% blacks. Out of that 5% about 25% graduate. The 75% that fail to graduate still owe the student loan$ making it even harder to get ahead in life. All of that and she’s so brainwashed that she thinks she is in a “safe space.” THAT is how liberals help keep even our most promising blacks down.

Liberal oppression is sinister.

The simple fact that this shallow-thinking, simple-minded woman "feels" the way she describes is hugely disrespectful to herself.

She might consider suing her liberal professors and the liberal media for feeding her feelings all these years, which turned her into a snowflake, instead of stoking her intellect so she could realize that she comes across as a sniveling, simpering idiot.
