Who said you have to love and worship her? It's true that when people (usually white women) who don't quite get how intersectionality and the interlocking systems of oppression work criticize her, very often other women (often WOC) have to explain that to them. These white women then think, that because they are being…

Aaaand they also have their own history of colonizing others.

Because women's rights and human rights ONLY refer to American humans. Non-American humans don't get rights. Honestly, I always think it's rich for the descendents of colonizers to talk about who can and cannot enter the US. They're living on stolen land but still have the gall to think they are the gatekeepers of it.

I would love for indigenous peoples across North America to build detention centres and hold all those colonizers and invaders who came over illegally. White people are the original illegal "immigrants." *

What the hell is up with using Indian dancers?

Right, eh? But somehow Madonna and Lady Gaga are feminists? #feminismisforwhitewomen

Who is a "flawless spokesperson for feminism"? I've never heard of such a person. Such a person has never existed nor will they ever exist. Do you honestly think that those who appreciate Beyonce's feminism actually think this way about her?

I don't watch The Voice (that's the show he's on, right?) but one of the commercials on TV I see for the show has him talking in a stereotypical Latina accent, hand gestures/neck movement and all, supposedly mocking Shakira (all in good fun, of course *eyeroll*). It comes across as super douchey...and racist.

So...you're an ignorant bigot with no knowledge whatsoever of Muslims, Islam, politics, history, economics, or psychology. Got it! I do hope you realize that your ignorance of the issue is pretty clear to those of us who know a little about Muslims and Islam.

The "exploding" has more to do with politics, history, economics, colonization, psychology, and sociology than anything else.

How? You quoted the article outlining how many people follow Oktar, a perverted televangelist who has not and does not promote or engage in suicide bombing, then you link that to suicide bombing. Are you saying that being perverted and being a suicide bomber are the same thing because Oktar and many suicide bombers in…

Wait...I missed the part about Oktar and his followers blowing themselves up. Where was that mentioned?

This. Yes. Thank you!

After #CancelColbert started trending last night, fans of Colbert did that thing that defensive fans always do when they're confronted with the horror of a person not liking a thing that they like a lot: they Made it Worse.

I think the reason this happens is because of their/our belief in social justice. It's the belief that no one, including other progressives and social justice activists, should get away with perpetuating oppressive systems. I agree that it feels frustrating at times because it feels like we're going after our own, but…

You don't get to decide if you're racist. Racism is the oppression of POC by the white supremacist system. Not hate of someone because of their skin colour (though that is one way of expressing racism). And that white supremacist system is society. We're all, at least, a little racist because we live in this society.…

Your comment about immigration WAS racist. If you can't figure out how then there are many great resources for you to read about how immigration policies, racism, and white supremacy are intertwined. If you care to learn, instead of becoming defensive, the information and education is out there. But just know, that…

In other words, what you're saying is, that white people should have the right to say racist things without being called out on it. Please do delete your account and never, ever come back here again. You are a horrible person.

Canada is pretty bad too. We may not necessarily have neo-Nazis parading in the streets, except in Alberta, but it's pretty damn racist here too. And violently racist. And that doesn't necessarily mean physically violent, though physical violence is definitely present. There is a lot of psychological and mental racist…

Oh I know! I hate this ignorance bullshit they pull. They're colonizers! There is no way they can feign ignorance in matters of race and racism.
