Nah - equating “New Black” mentality to Uncle tom “lite” and self hating is just being dismissive. At least propose an uplifting alternative if you’re going to do that otherwise - nah.

Yeah - point taken. But Greenwood was 100 years ago, pre civil rights legislation, heck pre-atom bomb. From anecdotes, you can hack a lot of ignorant racist crap just by showing you have some $$$.

As flawed as it is, this so called “New Black” mindset is far better than the alternative - sitting around and blaming the system and history coz you got the short end of the stick. It’s easy to criticize the shortcomings of the concept, but I don’t really see new uplifting ideas put forth. This “white people stop…

Oh, now I see that. Not surprised, Toronto sports fans have the biggest inferiority complex in North America.

A-Fucking-Men!

So when white supremacists claim, technically correctly by the way, that black males account for the vast... Vast majority of crime in America, you think that’s an acceptable thing to say?

Isn’t this TFC?

Pretty good track I can already hear it all over the summer airwaves.

Yeah but what does cultural appropriation have to do with most of the running definitions of feminism?

Lol so is Deadspin. They conscientiously decided not to cover Mayweather’s last couple of fights, now that’s all but out the window with the mega fight approaching.

Lol I’m the opposite - I’m with Renner for not conceding that his crappy sense of humor is somehow responsible and/or contributing to greater societal ills. Chris Evans is younger, has more to lose, so I imagine after he got his publicist approved apology out he called Renner and said fuck that shit. He’ll write a…

You’ve been chill and I respect that you took time to spell it out. I still think the word is being used out of context here, but I agree its a discussion that should be had, just not with these two as scape goats of sorts.. The joke would have been way funnier if they called Iron Man or even the Hulk a slut. Black…

lol well of course that’s not how it works if you’re already hyper sensitive to such things. Hope you can get comfortable with a lot of dissenting opinions, because you’ll be getting them even from those you thought were “like minded”.

When it’s a joke

That makes a lot of sense. So basically because they’re using a different standard than the courts, they can expect an escalation to those courts regardless of how they rule on a case. I’m sure that’s a hefty premium they’re paying on that liability insurance.

I understand and am v familiar with this argument, but my point is simply - this is not what misogyny means, this is not what misogyny is. Perhaps a new phrase needs to be coined to succinctly describe this societal dynamic, maybe it already exists. They were asked a ridiculous question about fanfic, they responded…

Haha I’m totally stealing that. Don’t know exactly where I’ll use it IRL conversations, but I’m sure something will come up

No I’ve seen her actually reply to individual posts with admissions that she fucked up. To believe that she’d go through all that and not learn a thing is myopic. This is a totally different case and she’s reporting/commenting on it appropriately.

Jesus let it go. Believe it or not she’ll actually become better professionally after getting through that mistake.

It was a dumb attempt at being funny, but I’ll never get how this is being labelled misogyny.
