Yeah that would have been the point where I click over to his wall and un-friend and block. A lot of times I just have to walk away from threads that I've started on my own wall because so many people chime in with just the most baffling things to say... I just can't bring myself to address them.

This is how I understood it as well. I personally linked the hashtag to my Facebook wall because I was overwhelmed by white people saying shit like "THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE OF RACE!" when... come on. So I wanted to shove that in their stupid faces to show them that it absolutely is different for us (white people) and that…

Called black people a "virus"

This. All of this.

I just can't with the "but they were scared for their lives!"

Good for you, I wasn't brave enough to do that. I quietly deleted a couple of people, that's about it. That was an AWFUL week of victim blaming, racism and ignorance. I felt like I just wanted to give up on the world... so I can't even imagine how black people must feel (I'm a white woman).

I FEEL you on the little sister thing. My little sister is now a new age, vegan, hippie, music student so you'd think that she'd be surrounded by progressive, thoughtful people that would rub off on her... but she is firmly in the "Feminism is irrelevant these days" and "I don't see race" and "gay people shouldn't be…

I must admit, I was not very vocal about it either because I just couldn't believe that I was THE ONLY ONE (other than my badass boyfriend who got in his first ever political facebook argument trying to point out how fucking racist everyone was being! So proud :P) who thought that not indicting Wilson was wrong and…

I'd like to think that it will get better... but I've been astonished at the amount of young white people on my newsfeed posting articles in support of Darren Wilson. People who I considered intelligent and good. Even my friends who regularly post things in support of feminism and gay rights... not a PEEP from them…

Totally. Success, here I come!!

Thank you... I feel like it will be the end of my medium/ long hair days for good (I've got really curly hair so growing that shit out is PAINFUL). Hope I can pull it off like her!

As a girl who just booked an appointment to get my hair done similarly to hers... I'm really hoping it's the hair cut.

This. Omg this.

Hey MantiMeow: I. don't. give. one. single. fuck. about. what. you. think.

I fucking know that. Women can hate women just as much as men can. That is crystal fucking clear from this story and life. Thanks.

That was my process as well. I couldn't handle it all at once. Reading this made me feel like the full weight of history is on my shoulders.

'Hey Brian, why aren't you in school anymore?' He kind of rolled his eyes and said, 'They accused me of raping [Grace].'"

One of my top reasons for wanting to be a parent is so that I can read my future kids the Harry Potter books. I'm so stoked.
