I know - we're so mean for objecting to our dehumanisation. We are always spoiling the white feminists fun!
Yes, it is the exact same defense as racist bingo. I mean, you just keep repeating it, and "clarifying" the person you were talking to; but, that doesn't change the fact that you relied on a racist cliche to defend yourself.
Using your black/brown/gay friends or relatives to substantiate how not racist you are is not taboo. In fact, it's the oldest trick in the book that white people use to end any discussion calling them out on their racism and privilege. It is, in fact, the tell-tale sign for most "not racist/yeah actually racist"…
Wow you have non-white relatives and gay relatives?? Amazing, that means you can never be racist or support racism. I'm sure your relatives will be overjoyed you use them as a trump card to prove how non-bigoted you are in your support of an active bigot. Its funny how the white bi posters queerness is deeply…
Don't forget, the classic, "I have black friends and gay siblings, so I can't possibly be racist!"
Racist birds of a feather stick together.
don't bother with handler stans. who cares about racism when #solidarityisforwhitewomen.
Bigoted, Bombastic Idiot SLAMS Transphobic, Bombastic Idiot
Really? When was the last time she mocked a white woman who wasn't Angelina Jolie? And her mocking of white people is usually for their behaviour rather than 'ha ha their skin is dark or a racial stereotype when she is making fun of non-white people. Behaviour is alterable, skin tone is not. And her crying like a baby…
Its funny how you note her continued racism as a faux pas as if being constantly horrible to non-white people on a major media platform is an error akin to getting drunk at a work party in front of your boss. Its easy to dismiss her behaviour when it doesn't affect you. No doubt had she been making fun of white people…
So her statements about black men and Africa are pretty truthful? White feminists really do stick together. I'm sure you would be out with the pitchforks if a black woman ever said anything negative about white American men and America as a whole. But Handler's racism appeals to you. Funny that.
You're white aren't you? Its easier to ignore her constant stream of racism when you aren't the victim of it. No doubt if she was a non-white woman mocking white woman on the regular (not that they would give someone like that a platform ever to mock white women) you would not be so charitable towards her. For people…
He's a pompous, disrespectful blowhard who countenances spying and bullies guests. She a racist shit-stirrer who thinks she's advancing feminism by trolling and throwing other women she doesn't like under the bus, and then asking for dudebro points for being so "edgy" and "an equal opportunity offender". So I come…
Am I the only one here that wants to desperately love this show but can't? The show is so ridiculous sometimes and not a lot of character development happens with anyone other than Mindy.
All that wasn't free, you know. Someone had to make those small pox blankets, and back in those days transportation wasn't as easy or cheap as it is now. And those poor old slave owners had to bear the burden of finding barely enough food to keep at least MOST of their slaves alive.
Shhhhh! Don't say that loud...That's Unmerrican.
#LiesToldByMales: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."
"Yes I can and will use whatever word I choose."
So then what's your fucking point? No one is forcing you not to say it. People are (correctly) identifying that words have meaning, and some of those meanings are negative. Novel, I know. Say "thug" all you like, and know that people will understand what you are really…
I think Sandberg's heart is in the right place, but that people will just come up with new ways to say the same thing. "Domineering", "pushy", "overbearing", etc. Like how we told people to stop calling black men "n****rs", so they just started calling them "thugs".
