When I close my eyes, all I see is blackness.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I thought we had reached Peak Stupidity a while ago, but I was wrong.

This is just staggeringly, blindingly, unfathomably stupid. I mean industrial-scale STUPID.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black...

[AmericanMermaid]

I take it she thinks she’s sexy, rather than just eh.

[Seruzawa]

Reparations for what, you entitled twit?

[ClearCase_guy]

This is like a word salad to me.

[rbg81]

To help resolve this chronic lack of sleep, Acosta and Sosa are calling for rest as reparations. Yes, they’re looking for an ease to the many burdens that might prevent Black people and people of color from sleeping like systemic racism, socioeconomic struggle, and more. But they’re also looking for the opportunity to rest and have leisure time — time that will allow people to dream and heal.

If you read between the lines, almost seems like they want Black people paid to stay at home and do nothing. Ten years ago, I would have balked. However, more and more I think it might be worth it, especially if it means no more Diversity classes.

For the 10th time, this morning alone...

[Stravinsky]

The slaves come at night and put shackles on living blacks, don’t ya know.

[diatomite]

Guilty!

[cdcdawg]

There are many places in the world with virtually zero white people. We are only around 10% of the population. They need to go to those places to escape YT and his sleep-depriving oppression! They never leave, do they? In fact, more come every day.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black...

Once I would have laughed. Now I despise the Rolling Stones and others who refuse to allow their songs to be played at Trump rallies.

Still laughed. Good one.

[Combat_Liberalism]

I used to take a 10 minute nap during my half hour lunch break. It was very refreshing.

I guess she thinks it’s your responsibility—not hers—for her to get plenty of sleep on the job. That is, if anyone would be stupid enough to hire her in the first place.

Define "awake".

[Stosh]

I thought we were supposed to be “woke”.

Now I find out we’re supposed to be slept.

How’s one expected to keep up?

[bk1000]

Enough with the “systemic racism” bullshit. Pardon my language, but enough is enough.
