I’m not being condescending to anyone. But, there is a very justified sociological definition of racism that is really important for people to understand if we are ever going to move forward. Pretending it isn’t a real issue, that privilege doesn’t exist, is really ridiculous. So, no, not okay.

GALAXY QUEST WAS AMAZING AND PERFECT AND HOW DARE YOU FORGET IT.

LOL! You think racism is a purely Western phenomena by my definition? No. Think about it.

Yep. Her sobbing in the court room, and clear heartbreak & utter dismay, in addition to her refusal to work with her abuser and therefore loss of millions of dollars, screams, “I’ve made it all up for attention!!”

Power, as in institutional power, not an individual’s power. As an individual I’m pretty powerless, but looking at the big picture I benefit from my white privilege. When I say something prejudiced about another ethnic group I’m reinforcing the white power structure that sadly still runs most of our society.

Anyone can be prejudiced, but racism is prejudice + power. Again, that person made a shitty, sexist, mean, awful, very bad, jerkish, unnecessary, and prejudiced tweet, but it’s not racist. That person seems like a sexist shitbag, but saying mean things about white people isn’t racist.

I don't feel remotely guilty for being white, I just understand how racism works. The amount of outrage you put into one very long comment over the fact that I don't think non-white people complaining about white people is an issue was pretty impressive though.

Sooooooooo excited! I lived for Pearl last season. I was *this* close to getting my septum pierced before I realized that I didn’t want to look like Pearl, I just wanted to fuck her and him.

He looks like Juliette Lewis there!

It’s always bad news when Shangela shows up.

Could have been so much better if Duchovny went undercover as Denise Bryson.

This is where Donald Trump came from.

Kinkajous are very, very cute:

I wouldn’t give you good odds on that for two reasons:

1) Trump is only really doing a handwave and air kiss at running “in” the states. He’s been working the national angle so hard and while it seems to work for him in terms of polls (wherein the national polls end up creating a draft in the state polls) no one knows…

This is the beginning of his exit strategy. He never intended to get this far and is desperate for an excuse to flounce out.

Presumably because there might still be sane people left alive in the republican wasteland who will find his refusal to participate in a debate based on his personal interactions with a moderator to be an ill omen towards becoming a president expected to deal with foreign leaders.

I bet they have a pickpocket monkey living in their crawspace. That seems the most logical explanation to me.

Sweet Hell, what terrible childhood tragedy turned you into this monster?

Calm down there, Satan.
