In today's edition of “What in the Hell is Wrong With This Country,” also knows as "People of Pallor Be Doin' The Most.:

A damn bouncy castle. 😑

Megan Gillman, a woman of pallor who considers herself a life coach and baby shaman (side note: that is some of the whitest sh-- I've heard in a minute) went viral in all the wrong ways yesterday on Threads after making the decision to write a review for her very first protest.

Yep, you read that right. Megan wrote a Yelp-style review FOR A PROTEST.

You see, Megan showed up to one of the Hands Off rallies this past weekend with her child in tow and decided to review the experience by stating her pale-ass child was "bored." Megan's suggestion?

"I don't think it would be too hard to arrange a bouncy castle or something..."

And this is exactly why y'all are on your own this go-round, easily-sunburned colonizer brethren. Y'all remain a part of the problem, even when you call yourselves not being a part of the problem.

Megan had an opportunity to be a role model for her child, to show them what it means to care about others. She could've engaged with her child, explaining what was going on and the significance of the moment. Hell, she coulda left that lil' mofo at home. But nope.

Megan wants to make sure any protests in the future consider having a bouncy house on hand, in case people or children "get bored."

Wouldn't want to bore you with activism and civil rights now, would we?

Megan has been gettin' dragged and read to filth, and rightfully so. But this kind of nonsense is why your "activism" means nothing, people of pallor. Y'all ain't about that life. Y'all are about capturing pictures and videos to show your friends. You're about reposting melanated voices then doing nothing those voices are telling y'all to do. And the moment you're even a little tired of fighting? You fall into your privilege and walk away, feeling like you've done your part when you've done nothing.

This is why you're on your own now. This is why we don't trust y'all.

A damn bounce house.

The caucasity.

In today's edition of "What in the Hell is Wrong With This Country?" we find ourselves on the first day of Black History Month 2023, watching as the United States decides to show Black communities that they feel Black folx shouldn't exist or matter in the discourse of U.S. History. Today, the National College Board decided that Black United States history – you know, chattel slavery, kidnapping, racism, oppression, colonialism, and all the stuff that makes up the foundation of hate that is the United States of America – are too scary and "inaccurate" to be taught in U.S. schools. According to the College Board, African Studies, Black queer history, and intersectionality are also way too scary for young white people to learn about in school. Their solution?

Let's teach kids the watered-down, sections redacted, whitewashed Cliff Notes version!

In today's edition of "What in the Hell is Wrong With This Country?" we find ourselves in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a white woman has started a business called Karens for Hire. What kinds of services does Karens for Hire offer? They're renting out their time to unleash white female rage on those who have done you wrong, of course!

Whew, y'all.

This is one of the most white power and privilege-driven business ideas I've ever seen.

In today's edition of "What in the Hell is Wrong With This Country?" we find ourselves looking at the recent actions of Warner Discovery-owned DC Comics. Why? Because the senior leadership brain trust over at DC Comics decided that the best way to "celebrate" National Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month was to reduce Latine and Hispanic culture to DC superheroes eating Latin American food on their "commemorative" comic covers.

Yes. You read that right. They went there.

In the year of someone's Lord, 2022, a major multimedia giant and comic book publisher said, "Let's celebrate Hispanic/Latine Heritage Month by havin' someone draw Green Lantern with a bodega bag full of tamales!" Because why try to create comic covers that are an homage to the contributions and perseverance of Latine and Hispanic communities in the Americas, in the United States, when you can whittle the identities of multiple cultures down to a couple of pieces of food that popped into your head when you think of them?

Face? Meet palm.

In today's edition of "What In the Hell Is Wrong With This Country?", we find ourselves in the world of non-fiction books where a white cis female theologian who is known for writing about Quakers received grant money and secured a publishing deal for her book about trap feminism.

You read that right.

A white woman wrote a book about trap feminism.

And she's mad that Black women are angry about this nonsense she wrote, to the point where she's blocking Black women on social media and deleting their reviews of her toxic piece of watered-down literature.

You can't make this stuff up, y'all, even if you wanted to. And if you're going to? You should probably seek some counseling.
