    Why is there such an outrage over someone as innocent as this?

    I have zero interest in playing stupid games with stupid people.

    Ask a relevant question.

    Unrelated question: Do you think Portland stymied itself by building its light-rail on its downtown streets instead of building a subway alignment through the core?

    "It's okay to be white" is some disingenuous white nationalist virtue signalling, like "all lives matter." :shrug:

    Of course it's okay to be white. The question is, in what addle-minded I-desperately-need-to-play-the-victim world is anyone seriously sending the message that it ISN'T?

    On the plus side Portland got an extensive system built out relatively quickly and with the majority being paid for with Federal dollars.

    If they can take that system, add a couple tunnels, more grade separation, more signal priority, etc then I think it can be a decent system. If not then yes it was a mistake. Capacity, frequency, reliability and speed are all currently subpar.

    This morning my 4 year old asked me why it was wrong to look at his sister. I had just... used my command voice to tell him not to look at his sister.

    Leading up this he had been making faces at her and pretending he was going to spit on her. She of course didn't like and reacted like a soon-to-be-2yo does. So I used my command voice to tell him to knock it off. He stopped acting like he was going to spit but continued to make weird faces at her. She was just sitting there yelling 'No!' over and over again. So I used my command voice to tell him to knock it off with the faces. He stopped making faces and looked away and looked around and then suddenly whipped his head back around and stared at her hard. To which she responded with the 'No!'s all over again. So I cranked up my command voice and told him to not even look at his sister or we weren't going to New Pizza Place tonight, it'd be Square Food (Hamburger Helper).

    It is okay to look at someone. It is okay to be white.

    That's not the daily bullshit everybody who's not a white male has to deal with. That's just baseline daily bullshit.

    So this whole thing is a half-assed 4chan troll designed to provoke outrage in the “anti-white media.” Now OP is here desperately trying to scrape up some outrage.
