All I'm gonna say...

The thing is, I’m not denying that language isn’t fluid or doesn’t evolve. But the problem is that these pieces almost completely ignore black people from the equation.

I don’t doubt that you were. But if you think that you and your white friends brought the term to prominence and that it was used commonly among white people then I don’t know what to tell you. The point is that all these pieces are acting like fuckboy is now a popular word because white people made it so and that’s…

This had nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with exerting power by sexually assaulting this woman. This is so beyond fucked up. And yet another instance where some power hungry asshole is backed up by his peers. This female cop didn’t stop and think “this seems illegal and totally rapey, maybe I should say…

I’d say there is no doubt that this was a sexual assault. I have family members who lived in Harris County. I hate that place so much. It’s the asshole of Texas.

Have black people, you know, tried not to be black when approached by police?

I ah e to admit, in the wake of her SNL fiasco I found it hard to take her seriously- but since then I have come to discover I actually like her music.

I just don’t get your music taste Jez. You are like that new friend who seems really cool off the bat and then she starts talking about some“amazing” new single from an artist you always thought was super lame and then you start questioning weather she’s as cool as you originally thought.

I always hate the “aren’t black people appropriating white clothes” argument, because white people didn’t just ask other cultures to wear their clothes, or beg people to wear their clothes, they marched themselves into other people’s countries and forced them to wear their clothes, speak their language and assimilate…

Chinese workers building the transcontinental railroad and dying in explosions, accidents, and avalanches.

Thank you for saying that. I so agree. Like with Sandra Bland and whether she smoked dope or smoked dope lately or whatever. I don’t care. I don’t care if Brown stole cigarillos. I don’t care if he was walking in the street. All this noise about who was doing what? It’s noise and excuses and it is bullshit. It is a…

We need to realize that this country was built on the backs of non white people. My people lost their homes and were forced off their lands. Black people were taken from their homes and family and forced to live in another country. Can people think of other examples?

I’d say that the primary reason (besides racism obvs) a lot of white people ( especially middle and upper class white people ) don’t get this issue is that they have never personally had any sort of encounter with a police officer who has abused their authority , acted insane and/or treated them like shit. They might…

Just an FYI, racist Yahoo commenters are the people who can’t figure out how to comment on YouTube.

The most virulent—and most common—echo chambers on the Internet belong to the ultraconservative, who require near constant peer confirmation to convince themselves that their status quo is not dying.

Yet, somehow Wilson feels that Brown’s alleged theft of cigarillos from a corner store (as cited in the Justice Department’s report) made Brown a “bad guy”

But my experience in this world has been that the people who believe themselves to be white are obsessed with the politics of personal exoneration. And the word racist, to them, conjures, if not a tobacco-spitting oaf, then something just as fantastic— an orc, troll, or gorgon. “I’m not a racist,” an entertainer once…
