They should have ridden her out of town straddling a rail.

Hey biytch! go to somalia, dressed like that, stay for a year, and write a book named “My Time Among the Blacks” and see what that gets you.

Hint: you will never get to write the book.

****Hispanic author who had suggested white people are treated differently in society. ****

I remember the “thank you” when someone did something to help you. Even Li’l Abner had it in one of his comic strips.

“That’s mighty White of you!”

Today we look back and laugh while others lose bladder control over it.

George Zimmerman is exactly who I thought of when I saw her picture. All she’s got to do is hurt someone Black (and it won’t matter if he’s on top of her at the time) and she’ll find out about White Privilege.

It could also be a fake hate crime staged by her supporters to prove her false narrative and generate both sympathy and more book sales.

Yep. The privilege of watering your lawn with the entire contents of your cranium, were it not for the handgun you purchased to protect yourself and an elderly female neighbor against the depredations of neighbor-owned pitbulls, and that you yourself never even thought to use against your assailant until, after cynically playing the knockout game against you, and gleefully raining blows upon you MMA-style while you lay helpless on the concrete beneath him, he by chance detected it in your pocket and reached down in a foolish attempt to pull it out and use it against you!

Students had to purchase her book for the class, i.e. were forced to buy her book hence the proper response for having their intelligence insulted.

It amazes me how the media managed to turn that scenario into Bambi shot by laughing Nazi guard while eating Skittles.

Nothing burger, you have me intrigued about the Polish Galicians! I will do some research into that. And I definitely send you a Galician heart for that beautiful sentiment!

Look up the Wikipedia entry on Krakow, probably the most historic city in Poland, and one relatively undamaged in WWII.

During the partitions of the 18th century, Galicia represented most of the part of Poland taken by the Hapsburg Empire. Other, larger, chunks went to Prussia and Russia.

Generally, the Poles fared better under Austrian rule than German or Russian. It was never an entirely comfortable political arrangement, but the Poles and the Hapsburg dynasty shared many common values, especially the Roman Catholic faith.

Meanwhile, in the new Germany, Otto von Bismarck was launching a so-called kulturkampf in the 1880s to put Catholics in their place. Even master political manipulators fail from time to time, and this may have been Bismarck’s one biggest flop.

A lot of Poles served in the Hapsburg military, some loyally, some reluctantly. One interesting fact I stumbled across in my reading is that when Poland regained its independence in 1919, a big part of its officer corps came straight from the Hapsburg forces. This definitely provided a leadership advantage when the Poles defeated the Bolshevik hordes outside Moscow in 1920, thereby saving Europe from communist invasion.

Krakow and Galicia were also the home of a particularly vibrant Jewish culture — but we all know how sadly that ended.

Just a few thoughts off the top of my head.
