She just said that her children are the wrong race to cause riots or social media campaigns if they get attacked, but that's the America they live in. I give up. This person is not worth arguing with.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Tell her not to give up - as blonde American girls, there's still a chance they could be kidnapped and then they'll have ALL the media attention!

When white men start getting shot for harrassing women on their neighborhood streets in FL and the women are not found guilty of even manslaughter, then I will give the people who say race is not an issue here.
When the NRA releases a statement saying Trayvon should have had a gun and all young black men who want to freely walk the streets of their neighborhoods and those around them without fear of the George Zimmermans, then I'll listen to people saying it is not a racial incident.

Oh, I was really tempted to respond with something similar.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hil, tell her if they blatantly falsely accuse a black guy of attacking them they can have the race riots she thinks so fondly of.
God, it's like she gave up without even trying!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't even process this. Or deal with the six thousand inappropriate jokes that come to mind.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sorry, my mind is in a dark place today.
And, at least based on current events/headlines, not without reason.

Did a music thing happen today? My tumblr dash is full of people I don't recognise.
Oh, and Justin Bieber. I would like to be all "no comment" but over 50% of the pictures I see drive me into insta-shallow-rage. How so consistent, douchenozzle?

I am so glad that my Uncle Fuck Nut has been so quiet on the whole Zimmerman case. I'm telling myself it's not just him trying to be socially appropriate--as clearly he has few filters there--and that he actually finds the case too complex for a glib comment.

I play a fun game of wondering which of my relatives are pro-Zimmerman. I'm too pessimistic to posit an empty set.
My sister sent me a retelling of "public shaming" by my mother, but it was effectively that my mother heckled her at a talk, by fake whispering "why are social science questions so LONG???" after dear Sav asked her question.
They were sitting separately, and apparently people were surprised and then charmed to find out the relationship.
I am sometimes really glad my parents are nowhere near my life 358 days out of the year.
