Big article in NYTimes about parents whose kids have gone no-contact being all fed up and 'not taking it anymore' (which means what?). Seeing parents do things in real time that will surely alienate their children without thought is ... clarifying.

I work customer service at a big box store, I had my first "You can say Christmas again" in the wild experience. These people are out there and they vote! Yesterday I had a woman ask if we had any American gift cards because the only one left was Feliz Navidad. I was genuinely confused.

I'd have struggled not to respond, "Happy Holidays." Americans are gobbling up Trump's Big Lie propaganda. Hitler wrote that people are more likely to believe a grossly impudent lie than a small one because they cannot imagine someone would have the audacity to fabricate such a monstrous falsehood.

He’s celebrating White Nationalist Racist Nazi fascism. He, Trump, Admin & complicit GOP MAGA condone White Nationalist Racism Nazi fascism is acceptable & before it was immorally wrong. It’s still immorally wrong to be a White Nationalist Racist Nazi fascist Vance for you & your bigot buddies.

I want someone to ask these people what it is they have ever had to apologize for because they’re white? Like they seem to take history personally instead of learning from it. Spotlighting different cultures in a multicultural, multiethnic society is quite literally how you create a unique culture

Sounds like that "Hillbilly Tragedy" is saying that the White man is no longer "oppressed" like they were whining about just a few months ago! The only change I've seen from then until now that's benefited any White man is the GRIFT of the Trump family while fucking every other white family! 👀

I'm quite white, and straight, and never once have I felt I was expected to apologize for either of those traits. Then again I don't try to make other people's lives hell because they're not like me, and maybe that has something to do with JD's complaint.

Never understood this. I have never felt like I needed to apologize for being white, male or cis. To whom are these people apologizing? Or are they mistakenly apologizing for one of those things,.when they should be apologizing for just being an asshole?

I have lived in the United States for 45 years, and not once have I ever had to apologize for being white! I say this as a gay white male! I didn't have to apologize for the gay part until Obama was President and got rid of DADT!

Fwiw... As a white man in his 40s. I've NEVER EVER had to apologize for being white. This is just a wink and nudge to those scum who want to change the word white to racist.

I have lived for 71 years. Never heard anyone apologize for being white or any other skin tone. Your skin color is determined by the amount, type, and distribution of melanin. I believe what he meant is that you no longer, in his mind, need to apologize for being a racist asshole.

Im thinking they're trying to audition and train him in... "just in case 47 gets 25'd". He needs to practice saying The Party Lines. At this point they are probably well aware that its a real risk for Trump to confuse the lines...babbling: " we apologize for being white americans" Disaster!!

The VP of the USA is promoting racial divisiveness loud and proud. This is an extraordinary escalation and communication of what’s to come and is already happening daily to people of color. It’s outrageous!

MAGA will slowly die out, Turning Point USA is the new MAGA. JD will marry Erika Kirk, and they'll be the new saviours of the evangelical christian nationalists, or maybe not.

also Genus and what-not? I'm going to have to go pretty far back to find out where my "Heritage American" tree ends up, and it is likely to be with me treating his ancestor like the 1st scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I'm definitely wielding the jawbone of an ass.

Since 1979, I've lived in California, amid any number of different ethnicities. I've never had to apologize for being white. I did once have to apologize for accidentally stepping on someone's foot on the bus in San Francisco, but that had nothing to do with skin color. Shoe size, maybe....

That’s not it. When you look down and you see the guy is wearing a size 16 triple E shoe you immediately start buffing his shoe with the shirt off your back if you accidentally stepped within five feet of him !

He was happy to accept it when all signs pointed to diversity being a strength rather than a weakness. It IS a strength - just not for MAGA who operate in an alternate reality. And JD has thrown himself into that reality.

JD Vance goes for the low hanging fruit when he baits his intellectually challenged audience with the white guy line. He’s got them hoopin and hollerin that white men can once again OWN the club. He conveniently omits that, even with a jacket, they can’t even walk in the front door.

I’ve never had to apologize for being white, but sometimes I do feel I should apologize for, well … ( waves at the mutton-loaf behind the podium ) He’s a professional embarrassment.

I may have once apologized for being a drunken Irishman, but I was probably drunk. I've never apologized for being white. I do apologize for Vance. It's embarrassing that we let such weak, stupid people lead us.

White man here. I'm 50 years old. Born and raised in the US in Tennessee. I have lived in, worked in, or visited 48 out of 50 states and crossed the whole of Canada. At no time have I ever been told, asked, or felt compelled to apologize for being white. Ever. Jimmy Bowman is a liar.

In 61 years, I have yet to apologize for being white. I recognize the struggles minorities had/have and firmly believe we need to understand the past to understand our future. Perhaps VP Couch Fucker has a wee bit of "white guilt"? Anyone ask "when was the last time YOU apologized for being white?"

Sir #JDVance You do NOT represent the values ​​or principles of this country; you are part of the WORST government the USA has ever had. #Trump is simply the worst thing that could have happened to the USA, and listening to him makes me sick to my stomach. @jd-vance-1.bsky.social #RemoveTrump

“This Christmas, you might be concerned about your words or actions harming others during a season of joy and giving. Don’t be! Engage in more hate this Christmas, as that is our sovereign white right.” How—? Just how?

This is some kind of weird mental jujitsu. He is saying that the oppressed should have not fought for civil rights because it irritates whites and laid unwarranted guilt trips on them. Now he is implying that white people are not afraid to return to discrimination and oppression.
