Hopefully, his prejudices change along with the removal of the tattoo. Good first step, but it’s not enough to just remove a symbol. The attitudes must also change

Timothy Egan who leans pretty liberal writes a STUPID article in the NYT saying President Obama should apologize for slavery and Don Lemon goes yup. They are both scumbags

When black people tell society that Democrats and liberals can be racists, here is another proof

The Obama Diary 
Good evening TOD.
By which i mean–TPA and TAA Passed in the Senate and PBO will sign TPA.
Next TAA will pass in The House and PBO will sign that.
Without invoking African trade Bill which was supposed to pass anyway, WTF did the Dems at war with POTUS gain for themselves?
And now, I am going to savor the juicy feast Nerdy has laid out for us. Thank you to Ms. Wonka in advance of the feast.
Money from the rubes on the purity left and unions. Kudos from the dude bros.
You’re welcome, Vicki.
An utterly fantastic collection Nerdy, sooooo much of these stories I missed today, so many issues covered, just brilliant. Thank you ENORMOUSLY, Legend!
You’re welcome, Chips.
It is nice to see our beloved VP Joe laughing and smiling at PBO’s “Bye Felicia” moment. LOVE. IT. Thanks NW for all that you do; your compilations are legendary and I never miss one…
Hey PSLA, it’s mighty nice to see you here! See you Sunday 🙂
Thanks, purpleshoesla.
Supercalifragisticcccccccccccccccccccc gathering of Tweetsssssssss……ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhh
🙂
I think when you meet President Obama, it shakes you up. It takes over your mind and it’s pretty much all you can think and talk about for days. When Marc Maron says, ” “I cried a little bit after he left……”, I can totally see why he would. He was engaged in a very relevant and intense conversation with President Obama for over an hour and it really touched him. What a great encounter, one that I know I will treasure forever. GREAT moment.
yes he was truly inspired….how lucky we are to be living in the age of President Obama….it is unbelievable 😀
Bless Marc Maron. Some of us (many of us) having not met PBO (yet) know the feeling of him taking over our mind, and in the most awesome, non-invasive way possible!! It is a Vulcan mind-meld, either you get him, or you don’t. No more sympathy for those that don’t, or refuse to, it’s too late for them. PBO is revving up, and we are still on the train!! Yes. We. Are. ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂 Tickets are all sold out now.
Amazing collection. Don’t know how you do it but you surpass yourself every day. The go to place for news; better than NYT.
🙂
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Greatest. Tweet. EVER!!!!!!!!! 😆
CRINE
hahahahaha…i love some of these captions…they capture the moment perfectly…
Yeah, that looks says “I don’t need my anger translator Luther”
“look says” – why won’t my fingers work 😦
ROTFLOL – OMG!!!! Best tweet evar! I can’t stop laughing
LOVE Ride or Die Joe! He has POTUS back. All the way.
Pretty soon POTUS may not even need the Luther translator!!!!
😆
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Hehehehhehehhhhhh!!
That look right there is one my mama gave me and one I gave my youngins. It needs no translation 😀 😀
meta, I didn’t read your comment before I wrote mind. You said exactly what I thought.
Hahhaaa! Great minds think alike!!
I’m thinking
Danny and Stewie should get together. They have a love for destroying balls.
Speaking of balls: is Danny sans his yet?
I can’t answer that LL ‘cos I’d get in to BIG trouble here 😕
If he knocks up a girl, you’re raising the babies. Danny has no marketable skills.
(1) How’s he gonna knock up a girl when he’s never on the loose?
(2) Oh heck, I’d LOVE to raise the babies!
(3) No marketable skills? If he wasn’t sleeping right now, he’d smack ya.
(1) He’s a boy. They have their ways.
(2) You and the missus would get along swimmingly.
(3) When he grows opposable thumbs, then we can talk
(1) Hmm, fair point.
(2) I love Mrs LL.
(3) Message from Danny: ‘Totly haz uposabil tums – suc it.’
haz bals u reel rood
Oh lucky me! My three favorite males are on one Post – PBO, VP Biden and Danny!!!! 🙂
Y am i not furst??????
Danny, sweetie, with PBO in the mood he’s in today, I’d rather not piss him off any more – wouldn’t you agree? But I’ve got lots of love for ya!
I sent him to bed GGail, when he saw LL’s comment about his bits, he became pretty aggressive.
Understandable, if I were male, I would get testy too 😀
so, you did vet the poor boy, didntya?
We’ll be able to check the next time she shows us a picture of Danny sleeping on his back…
gud gawd. leave the poor boy alone.
😯 (Reminding self never again to post such a pic!)
😀 😀
(No, but that’s between you and me)
psycho is gonna have his done soon. ya think 6 months is too early?
It’s funny – sometimes Danny looks like a full grown dog, and other times, he still looks like a little puppy. How gorgeous he is!
Ah, so true Theo! Just now he ambled by, and whatever way I looked at him it was like he was three months old – and when he came back he looked like an elephant! 🙂
He’s magical! 😉
Danny’s face is so Gorgeous.
Hello, GQ Danny Chipsticks.
He is quite a Footballer, 😎
Is this from today? VP Joe Biden laughing ~ Barack has his back, and his heart!! I love them too!! ❤ ❤ (Um, Chipsticks, isn't today June 24th? St. Jean Baptiste day?)
??
Your tweet shows June 25th, and I am wondering if I have lost a day, somehow. Would be good if I slept through it! 🙂 (it’s ok to ignore MP) http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/canada/st-jean-baptiste-day
Dear BT I need to be freed..TY
Your liberty has been granted, LP!!!
LL….. I guess that is a compliment 😀
Damn you edited that while I was typing!
I had to edit it super fast, there was no way I wanted you suing me for confusing you with a Chelsea fan 😕
That’s where I had the confusion 😀 I’m thinking you must be in a spectacularly good mood 😎
two musketeers
All for one, one for …. well ….. each other 🙂
That was hella quick! TY Chips 🙂
What a joke….Trumka just got played and showing that any future idol threats don’t mean sqadoosh!
ooops!
what happened to trumka’s we are gonna take the ball and give it to gop ‘threat’ ?
He may need to retire… I don’t know how long typical AFL terms are but he has been around too long….thinks he has some imaginary power and his head has gotten big.
So if Dylann Roof were driven to killing why not go to a white church? What was it he drove over 100 miles to Charleston, no white churches open.
I guess according to one of the SC senators white churchgoers bring their guns and bibles with them….
Thanks TOD for fabulous coverage.
You’re welcome.
Salute to Ms. Nerdy on another wonderful round-up! …thanks for the shout out too 😎
You’re welcome, LP.

LOVE our JOE!!
If looks could kill?
WTG, VPOTUS!
Nerdy, you leave me speechless. Fantastic tweets!
Thanks, Sabreen60.
One by one
Today my pastor (rector, we call them in the Episcopal Church. We call her Mother Anne, instead of Father) sent this to every parishioner in the church. I am glad to see her have this awareness of racial justice and advocacy, and that she recognizes this is a teachable moment for the white parishioners in her flock. (She is Latina in ethnic origin.) This is a far cry from the church and clergy I grew up with.

A “Post-Racial” America?
Church members enter Emmanuel church,
Sunday, June 21, 2015, in Charleston, S.C.
Dear Friends,
I would like to alert you to an event you might have read about in the Statesman-Journal yesterday. Tomorrow evening, the Salem-Keizer NAACP is offering a forum in response to the shooting at Emmanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Please keep those killed and their families in your prayers, and attend this event if you can. Father Zac and I will be there.
Grace and Peace,
Mother Anne+
Why aren’t there more Black people in Oregon?
A hidden history
Presented by Portland State University black studies professor and writer Walidah Imarisha
June 25, 2015, 6-8:30 pm North Salem High School
765 14th St NE, Salem, OR 97301
Have you ever wondered why the Black population in Oregon is so small? Oregon has a history not only of Black exclusion and discrimination, but also of a vibrant Black culture that helped sustain many communities throughout the state–a history that is not taught in schools.
Author and educator Walidah Imarisha will lead participants through an interactive timeline of Black history in Oregon that speaks to the history of race, identity and power in this state and the nation. Participants will discuss how history, politics, and culture have shaped-and will continue to shape-the landscape not only for Black Oregonians but all Oregonians.

meta, you have made some awesome finds lately – thanks!
😎
The heckler was it a man or woman, and what was she/he heckling about?
It was a woman, shouting about stopping deportations.
He/she looked to be transgender to me who appeared to be Hispanic because they were talking about stopping the deportations.
Great tweets all ’round!
Thanks!
Nerdy, this is a fine, fine compilation of tweets, news you can use, info galore! Best thing to come home to. Thanks 🙂
Thanks so much, HF!

I don’t know how you do it, Nerdy, but you have the gift. Night after night of perfect tweet roundups and important stories. You are truly amazing.
Thanks, Jackie. 🙂
Nerdy you are such a She-roe to all of the TOD family, I just love ya for giving us so much GOOD POSITIVE TRUTHFUL INFORMATION every day!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. 🙂
The link of the woman claiming she was attacked by A-A men led me back to this story, which coincidentally was reported on exactly a year ago today.
// ……
The 17 year-old sitter told the police that two armed black men had broken into the house and that one of them looked like the family’s African-American neighbor, Cody Oaks. Soon after, police arrested Oaks and questioned him for hours. But it wasn’t until Abby spoke up that they were able to solve the crime. Abby told the police that “It wasn’t the right skin color,” explaining that the invaders had been white, not black.
The sitter’s story eventually fell apart and it was discovered that she had orchestrated the entire thing with her boyfriend and an accomplice committing the crime.
Oaks is justifiably angry over the incident that could have gotten him killed—police snipers were waiting on his front lawn before he was arrested.

Infamous Diana Downs, who attacked her own kids killing and injuring them told the story it was a Black stranger on a remote rural road near Eugene, Oregon either in the late 70s or early 80s.
People who deliberately and falsely blame others should be charged (disturbing the peace, improper use of law enforcement, or something) IMO. Including those who lie when calling 911; in the story with the 4yr old there was a *sniper* waiting to greet the neighbour, for goodness’ sake!
Good morning, OG.
Excellent Tweets, NW. Thanks.
