Meanwhile, On TumblR: Donald Trump’s Latest Racism And Bruce Lee

Tumblizens really loved NY Daily News writer Zerlina Maxwell’s take on Donald Trump’s latest racist efforts to undermine President Obama’s credibility:

Apparently, Donald Trump, a man very concerned with whether President Obama, a Harvard-educated law professor, is just another dumb brown person riding the affirmative action ticket, wants to give $5 million dollars to charity if the President releases his college transcripts.

This is what racism looks like. Please save the, “Oh you are a typical liberal always playing the race card” response and take a moment to hear me out. First, racism is not a card. It’s a reality for many black and brown people in 2012. If you are not a person of color, it’s important you don’t find yourself quickly discounting the pervasive existence of racism in 2012, without actually speaking with a person of color. Assuming things are just better because we can drink at the same water fountain isn’t sufficient.

And, looking at what Tumblizens <3′d and reblogged the most this week, the late Bruce Lee still gets all sorts of love:

    Samuel L. Jackson is my Chuck Norris, so I’m pretending that macro applies to him as well. I say “pretending” because I like that he thinks being in bad movies is fun, and that does make him a really awesome joke in my mind.
