That’s not true. Racism is prejudice against someone based solely on his or her race. Power isn’t part of the definition.

That’s not what racism is. You don’t have to be displaying power over another race to be racist. I am white and straddling the poverty line, I have power over no one. If someone treats me like shit because I’m white, they’re still racist. I’ve known many Japanese people here in America that hate Koreans; it doesn’t…

I think you’re trying to change the definition of racism. The only thing “power” can do is make racist/prejudiced policies or comments significant. Trying to split hairs between “racist” and “prejudiced” is fairly ignorant at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. The only meaningful conclusion from your…

Yeah, I’ve mentioned that to her in a discussion that we were having. I told her that it’s great that she has so much pride in being black, but other races shouldn’t be looked down upon as the price for that pride. I’ve seen her show zero empathy for other races, and I know that she judges members of other races on a…

Do you know what racism means? Obviously not, because you repeatedly claim that one race in particular is impossible to expierence racism. Racism is the belief that one race is inferior to another, so its COMPLETELY possible for a Latino person to believe white people are inferior to their race, which is, you guessed…

Here is what others are trying to tell you, abliet indirectly: You’re being pendantic, and without focus here. Words matter, and the word ‘racism’ and your fierce hold on it are ill visioned in this particular context. The definition you’re using isn’t given but a proposed idea — one I agree with but nonetheless an…

Me too! All because my definition of racism is as followed

That makes no sense, you can’t look to the past and say “you people were racist towards us” so now every instance where the tables are turned you simply shrug your shoulders and say ‘notracist’.

The fact that she refers to her as an ‘attention-starved white girl’ most certainly brings her race into it and factors into her opinion of Kesha. I’m not sure if you have seen MizJenkins’ posts, but everything she comments on is distilled through a racial filter. She seems incapable of removing race from any…

I’ve had some disagreements with MizJenkins in the past, and am usually adverse to her opinions and race baiting. I’m glad to know she’s the piece of shit I pegged her as. At least in my dealings with her I remained as civil as possible and didn’t sink to her level.

We’ll have to disagree on that. I get that minorities and other victims of racism cannot partake of systemic racism, but they sure as shit can be racist on an individual level. I’m not arguing that systemic racism is not orders of magnitude worse than a person of color hating white people, but that person of color is…

Rich.

So if no charges are brought against someone, that means it never happened? No. That’s not how things work. Your argument is invalid.

It’s not racism, but it is discriminatory and supporting sexism in full force. It implies that the women, a lot of them, lie about rape for attention. It’s a gross and disgusting thing to say, and I’ve lost every single bit of respect for the commenter, who I respected quite a bit before this. It belittles the problem…

That sure was a racist comment.

Since it’s possible to be an addict, or promiscuous, or annoying and still be sexually assaulted or abused the personal attack seems mean and unnecessary.

Yes, it does seem like that would’ve been the best move for all parties, but it’s possible they also had separate contractual obligations to Dr. Luke and the label that they had to factor in when determining how to approach this case. However, even if that’s the case, they should’ve taken whatever financial hits…

There are only three groups that count as people in this country: corporations, fetuses and white men.

This could all have been resolved without a lawsuit. Sony could have freed her from Kemosabe and moved her to another part of their label. She’d still be cranking out hits and Luke’s reputation wouldn’t be in tatters. They made a really stupid decision.

Sony condones rape and abusive behaviour. Good to know. #boycott Sony
