Semantic disputes over the meaning of racism are unproductive in as much as they obscure the real problem: white supremacy.

Hooters girls are one step away from being broke, out of work Porn Stars or Heroin Addicted Prosies.

Really? You're slut shaming the waitresses because of where they work? They put up with enough shit from their customers and the company without anyone else adding to it.

I think you should probably write yourself up for that.

I'm fully within reason to hate people who constantly mock my culture and think they deserve a space in a conversation they do not have any place in. White people cannot know racism and if they are allowed into conversations about it they often derail and make it all about their feelings. Yes I am a millennial. Its…

When POC are specifically, negatively targeted not by individuals but by civic bodies, i.e. institutions: the criminal justice system, private banking & real estate; public education, that's racism. Police stopping only black and brown people, banks refusing to loan to black people, leasing agents charging Latinos…

This is my point exactly. Would you go up to an airplane pilot mid-flight and explain to them why your opinion on flying is equally or more valid than his or hers? No, you wouldn't but every white person is automatically a credentialed social scientist and expert on race. You're doing what every POC on this thread is…

White people have the most money. And according to the supreme court, money is speech, so white people talk the most. So not listening to white people isn't an option. They're everywhere, talking all.the.damn.time!

Yes, that's exactly what arianawonder meant. White people should have their mouths sewn shut.

i think a big part of this way of thinking has to do with a limited exploration of the way institutions are inherently racist in this country. young people have no problem understanding that jim crow-style segregation is bad, as is overt de facto discrimination (i.e. hate crimes and the like), but institutional racism…

"Most felt President Obama's election was proof that racism was mostly a phenomenon of the past", Lol any American who says anything like that is a privileged idiot, the amount of racism he has received is a vile and i would say that racism has become worse since he was elected.

"Eight in 10 said they knew someone who was biased; 6 in 10 felt that they were not personally biased. "

So... not all menses?

I would've said, really loudly, "NO, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN UP FOR THE REWARDS CARD SO I COULD GET ONE DOLLAR OFF MY BOX OF TAMPONS PLEASE. AND CAN YOU HURRY UP I'M BLEEDING RIGHT NOW."

This is actually one of my favorite ways to repel aggressive douchenozzles in bars and whatnot. After a few nice, "No, thank you. I'm very flattered, but no." I just start in on "Well, I'm on my period and I swear to God the clots I am passing are chipmunk sized. Adult chipmunks. And the gushing??? It's like a crime…

Well, I'd be pissed too if I was hired and found out that I was lowballed to the tune of 87K less than the other GUY was making. Fuck that! Go get 'em Abramson.

I think this is great in theory, but rarely gets implemented correctly. I worked at a place that said they were ROWE, but in reality you still have to put in the time to keep up appearance. There were many Fridays where I was done with my work but was screwing around on Gawker bc it wouldn't look good if I left.

If you are famous and you express an opinion, you will most likely get death threats. I'm sure Michael Sam got death threats, probably a lot more than Derrick Ward. If you threaten people with death via the internet, you a fucking insane. Don't give insane people a platform, and don't blame gay people in general for…

Can we please refrain from saying "Homophobia is the new racism" because racism still exists and Black folk are still getting killed for being Black, so it hasn't gone anywhere. The saying also erases PoC who are also LGBTQ.

Anytime something starts with "Newt Gingrich thinks..." I erupt into bouts of hysterical cackling
