Your comment is making me feel all warm and fuzzy, just thinking about Mary-Jo Eustace having a few cocktails and a lot of laughs regarding the predictable demise of the Tori-Dean marriage. All I would add is that I'm "also" picturing Ken Kostick having a cackle-and-a-half, from wherever he's perched in the sweet

It makes me want to administer so many slaps when people act like POC (usually and especially Black people) are these sensitive little fragile beings who might be set off by the tiniest, most innocent comment. Meanwhile, if a white person experiences prejudice for, oh, an hour or so of her life, she is horrified.

I don't think they're asking you to worship her but she's important to many WOC which is why she deserves credit. Also given Jezebel's track record with talking about feminists of colour it's about time they have her some love they normally reserve for the likes of Lena Dunham and Jennifer Lawrence who are, in my

A black woman calling herself Mrs Carter is a powerful act. There were times not so long ago where black women were not given that kind of honorific - they were referred by whites by their first names, regardless of their ages.

yeah I figured. This is why i stick to GP. main page is littered with whitefeminismTM.

You're wasting your time talking about intersectionality to these people. These "feminists" TM simply don't care.

Because she's a very successful black woman who actively try's to get other women interested in femenist issues? She made an album that centred around being a black woman and sexuality? This article talks about it better than I do:

Her explanation on the everyday racism you encounter in everyday life being a POC (in her case her black woman) is perfect. Also white people's sensitivity when their race is brought up is so true, they're so used to being seen and portrayed without the context of their race it makes them very uncomfortable.

I dunno, maybe because she calls herself a feminist, quotes feminist literature in her songs, participates in campaigns to try to inspire girls and has a song literally called girls run the world....but hey....what do I know?

Yeah, but they only colonized places in Africa and the Pacific. They didn't even colonize North America...how can they be racist against Native Americans?! I mean, compared to other European countries, their colonization wasn't that bad.</SARCASM>

What is this history thing you speak of?

Who's surprised, though? I'm not. Not at all.

Why does this keep happening? Do they think that if they keep doing it it'll eventually become less racist?

Wow, suddenly people who care about women or human rights are scarce the minute immigration comes up on Jezebel.

Racists. People appeasing racists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They don't make a CHOICE in a vacuum, whether you capitalise it or not.

They took our jobs!!!

Idk. I wouldn't try looking for logic from racists and xenophobes.

What do you mean by not a threat? Are immigrants threats now?
