Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare - rare because women should be able to access resources to prevent unwanted pregnancy and shouldn't be at such high risk to be raped, not because pregnant women are forced to not have abortions. #antichrist

As an African American man, I can only offer my two cents but, uh, duh. In other news, water is wet. #antichrist

I did my senior capstone for my BS last year in "Reducing stigmatization of mental illness among the African American population of Portland" (longest title ever), which really opened my eyes to the extent of the discrimination and lack of cultural competence amongst mental health professionals. There is a clinic in Portland through OHSU that offers culturally competent care specifically for African Americans and Africans as well as SE Asians. I enjoyed working with the providers at the clinic. #antichrist

But yes. A part of the mental health issues of pretty much every single brilliant African American I knew in college and law school is derived from the fall out of racism. You do deal. But it can sting. And depending on one's resilience, it can be utterly debilitating. It's fascinating work and I'd love to learn more about what you do. #antichrist

My professor for the capstone is an African American man who has mental health issues that went undiagnosed for decades in large part because of his race. Either he didn't fit "the mold" of someone with those disorders, or it wasn't suggested that he seek treatment because within his community there was a feeling of distrust of medical/mental health professionals (understandably!). I took every class from this professor I could as an undergrad and am now applying to do the MSW program at the same school to learn more from him. I am trying to find my place of where I will be able to best serve people of color within the mental health/human services field. It was heartbreaking and infuriating to learn and see how people of color in my community were being treated when they tried to seek help. #antichrist

This sounds like the logic that concludes something can't be offensive if it was intended as a joke. I mean, I'd support a poster with an entire ass hanging out. But the "logic" makes me giggle. #antichrist

By which I mean, that poster makes me want to bone. A lot. #antichrist

This is all anecdotal, of course.
And strange, of course. #antichrist

Sorry. Frustrated teacher rant. #antichrist

I do believe some of them have a passive-voice relationship with their studies. There is no sense that they have an active role in their education. They just sit there with their mouths open, accepting whatever comes along, and each paper/test/graded unit is another kind of event that just happens. Failing happens. Grades happen. Improvement, if it happens, just happens. Having once been like that myself, it's incredibly frustrating not to be able to get them to see, as I once did, that if you just DO THE WORK, suddenly the world is a much better place. #antichrist

He really is astounded by the concept that learning history like a narrative rather than as a rote recitation of dates and names can be fun. It's like he invented fire, he's adorable about it. #antichrist

This is what comes from receiving a set of papers that are, on average, worse than the last one. Yay. #antichrist

Cyrus may not be out there being super positive saving the whales or whatever but she's just singing old fashioned bubble gum pop without the hint of innuendo. Her audience caps out at about 14 anyway. If anyone older likes it it's usually done so ironically. #sashaobama

Part of me thinks that Sasha and Malia are handling their newfound fame very well, at least so far, but once they hit those angsty teenage years, things are going to be tough. I feel a little sorry for them, but I can't imagine any other age that's a good one to enter the white house with. They're still at the age where it's totally awesome that they met the Jonas Brothers and they seem to have had enough of a real life, with great parents, not to turn into spoiled-brat teenagers.
I mean, at least I hope. #sashaobama

I've been hearing about this project for almost a year and am glad it's finally premiering.
B.T.dubs - The War Room is on YouTube in its entirety. Everyone should check it out. That and The Return of the War Room. #bythepeopletheelectionofbarackobama...
