My husband wishes all you Jezzies a very merry Christmas indeed.

Yup.

BURT YOU ARE KILLING ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm amazed that even this can somehow be turned into racism. What the actual fuck.

I like how you seem to think you're on some higher plane of morality than the rest of us plebs and then you throw out a horribly homophobic insult like that.

Are we not going to address the "eat a dick" gif? On Jezebel of all places?

Oh look. An asshole taking a genuine compliment ("hey, a person that can actually string sentences together in a cohesive manner without colossal spelling errors and terrible grammar" or alternatively "nice diction" or even "well-written") as an insult. Here's some diction: you, Sqarr, are PRECISELY what is wrong with…

I know this might be a long shot, but maybe he just liked your article and wanted to complement you, especially your choice of words? Maybe this had nothing to do with your race or background whatsoever? I think you may have jumped the gun here.

You must have missed the memo. It doesn't matter what you say, people on the internet will be offended by it.

Referring to the other fellow. Agree with them all you like, but show the slightest hint of weakness and out comes the fangs.

But the whole point of doing what you can is to help support the African-American community and to help enact change.

If the "good" white…

It's almost like white people can't win, by the author, isn't it? If they speak or feel one way, they're racist, if they speak or feel the other (proper HUMAN/HUMANE way) then they are 'good' little white people seeking affirmation and reward for how 'forward thinking' they are. I guess, ironically, that to the…

Kind of a hard thing to do when part of activism is getting others to join you. I continually post and talk to my friends about ways they can get involved with this cause, either giving to Tamir Rice's family fund, or joining a walk out with me or attending a rally.... how do you distinguish that from…

Agreed - your remark about our actions being perceived as "not authentic" no matter what resonated with me. And if white people don't talk about this stuff, how are we supposed to be able to apply social pressure to get other white people to care, to think beyond the way they experience the world?

Is a member of another oppressed minority (First Nations), I disagree quite strongly with this.
