Fair point.
Fair point.
Honestly, you are all really saying this shit? Is there anything that those of us who are not "people of colour" can do right? This is so tiresome. If I speak up for people who are being persecuted I am "using white privilege". If I don't speak up I am being ignorant, selfish and/or racist. If you want to criticise…
It doesn't give you insight into it necessarily but it sure as hell gives you an added push to fight for equality. She wasn't implying that she understood being a minority (at least in this quote) - she was bemoaning a lack of diversity.
This comment is so unnecessary. There's nothing wrong with members of the majority wanting to be allies with minorities. I'm glad Ellen Pompeo spoke about this issue.
So what, you don't want any allies in positions of power?
Yeah, she should really just shut up and not say anything at all! That's how to solve every problem! You tell her!
I haven't seen reaching like this since I was at the jungle gym.
The biggest internal enemy of the black community are those within it who rush to validate and justify every display of ignorance we try to pass off as our "contemporary culture." Twerking ain't classy and it never will be. It's not some deep African American expression of the nobler stirrings of the soul. Get…
Except the context was there: two people were trying to get NPH to do something he was uncomfortable with simply for their sexual gratification. That is degrading, not the act of twerking in general. That is consistent independent of race, gender, or sexual orientation. "Twerking on comand" not just twerking because…
As the Thetans disappear, they're replaced by smug.
What did Will and Jada do that their kids always have those obnoxiously smug looks on their faces? Does Scientology teach that look?
Twice a day we do a gossip roundup called Dirt Bag. Welcome to our site.
Wait, these are cool again? Summer of '99 is coming back! Time for everyone to bare their belly and wear handkerchief tops with bell-bottoms!
Ugh...when people bring up the "It's natural, so it can't be bad for you" argument, I respond with "So is poison ivy. Would you like me to give you some to rub all over your body?"
It's been awhile since I've done this, so here goes.
He's talking about the narrow view that "tame" porn is synonymous with "female friendly" porn. Hence him mentioning that woman also like hardcore porn, BDSM porn, etc. I've read a lot of what he has to say on the topic, and it's clear that he thinks that "female consumer in mind" is too narrowly defined and…
"Now this guy comes in with the porn equivalent of "you're the one who's racist for calling that joke racist! I wasn't thinking of a race when I made that joke, I don't even see race!"
Taken out of context because she's Southern?
And of course, the money quote:
Yes and no. I see your point, and I agree that a lot of people would sacrifice progress because it's not perfection, but I think a lot of people will go out for a cause with guns blazing without ever really talking about "what is the best way for me to help." It's something people in non-profit philanthropy come…
