Of course, you're okay with the fact that people aren't impressed by your willingness to stop engaging in racist behavior. That's what racists do. They keep being racist even when they're called out. It's also pretty dern pathetic that there are still white people who have this "biracial people are more beautiful"…

She admitted to lying to gain asylum in the Netherlands. That is why she left. It's absolutely ridiculous to claim that I have prejudice against a woman who is vocally critical of Islam, because I am a woman who has been vocally critical of Islam. I certainly haven't misrepresented the situation. This is all old news.…

It most certainly can be and, in your case, it certainly seems to be the case. However, you don't have to be a hater. You can choose to be happy for others instead of moping over your own deficiencies.

I'm using the standard dictionary definition of the word. Talking about something you supposedly said in a different conversation, at a different time, to a different person doesn't change what happened here.

I'm saying that Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a fraud and that's why she had to leave Europe. You can continue to ask "what if" questions. I'll just point out what actually DID occur, though.

You don't have to use the "terrible name used by The Onion" in order to for it to be clear that you have absolutely no idea what constitutes rude behavior.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's story was exposed as a fraud years ago. It's why she had to leave Europe. Your question is like asking someone what would have happened if Popeye had eaten kale instead of spinach or what would have happened if Tom stopped chasing Jerry and became a vegan.

Read what she said. If young black children did get protection, then we wouldn't have seen the Onion making such a bigoted, sexualizing, and misogynistic joke about her. Get it?! It's been done. You can't un-ring a bell. We're talking about why it occurred.

Of course that's why! Any person of color who has ever experienced success has probably seen this kind of reaction at least once in their life. The sad part is that they TRULY believe that their words don't reveal their bigotry.

Don't worry. You won't have to suffer her for long. Folks like you are quickly becoming a minority. Once y'all have gone the way of the dodo, we'll be able to enjoy seeing the success of a young black girl child without all of the haters stinkin' up the joint.

Well, I'm glad to see that the tone troll has come out to play this morning.

New Orleans is my hometown. I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of Quvenzhané. Those who have never been here just can't understand what it means to be from there and to live there post-Katrina. You're right about how deeply we feel and show our love for each other down here. Being from the American South,…

Out of WHOSE order? Whose rules did she violate? The ones that said black people at the Oscars should be seen (very rarely, of course) but never heard. I really just want to believe that you have no idea what your words show about you.

Bwahahaha! I guess you never did get around to citing your quoted passage. So I'll do it for you. You're quoting Ayaan Hirsi Ali. You do know that she has been widely exposed as a fraud, right? Her entire story was made up. It's the reason why she wound up having to resign from parliament and leave the Netherlands.…

No. Just no. I can deal with a zombopocalypse. Maybe even the dolphins took over, I could deal with that, because we already know they're just bidding their time. However, I simply will not tolerate living on a planet dominated by talking whales and seals.

In this country, the laws do require women to meet certain standards of dress. Try being a woman and walking about without a shirt on and you'll quickly find that out. If you belong to the cult that I was raised in or many of the other Christianist cults in the Western world, you will indeed be harassed for daring to…

Why don't you actually post the name of this "formerly Muslim woman"? Then we could easily have a discussion about what the Dutch found out about her lies.

If you think that you should be the arbiter of the proper way to be a Muslim woman, then you're pretty twisted yourself. I mean, isn't that kind of antithetical to feminism?

Alex, they don't WANT to get it. They are following in the patriarchal traditions of their white Western ancestors and they have absolutely no desire to free themselves from it. They'd rather focus on the lives of women of color, especially those who are Muslim, rather than challenge the ways in which their own men…
