The Associated Press defined 'alt-right' and the white supremacists are not going to like it
The AP’s standards blog just posted a piece about how to use the term ‘alt-right’ when writing articles. Considering the Associated Press provides the style guidelines for newspapers and magazines nationwide, this clarification is a big deal. Here’s the sweet and succinct “usage” section.
“Alt-right” (quotation marks, hyphen and lower case) may be used in quotes or modified as in the “self-described” or “so-called alt-right” in stories discussing what the movement says about itself.
Avoid using the term generically and without definition, however, because it is not well known and the term may exist primarily as a public-relations device to make its supporters’ actual beliefs less clear and more acceptable to a broader audience. In the past we have called such beliefs racist, neo-Nazi or white supremacist.
The Associated Press is ready to call a duck a duck and so should you.

My uncle’s boat, his only home, caught fire. He was asleep below deck. While trying to escape, he lifted a hatch which fueled the fire and he was blown from the boat. He had to be hospitalized with burns all over his face, back, hands, and arms. He is stable, he will be okay, but now he is homeless. Everything he owned was on that boat, which was sunk by the fire department to put out the fire. No clothing, no belongings, no home, even his car keys were on the boat. I don’t even know how to process it fully. If he had been stuck below deck for even five more minutes he would have died.

white people: um why are people protesting?? why can’t we all be friends? where’s the UNITY?
