A stupid blonde saying stupid things? What is this The View? Oh, right.

Or in a city with a water supply contaminated by lead, policed by white nationalists who fund the local government via onerous fines levied on the basis of race and income while receiving a fraction of the benefits those fines and other fees subsidize. 

Good thing you’ll be dead soon, Richard.

I agree that it’s important and true for black men to address their misogyny as it relates to black women and black men collectively need to do the work of acknowledging our relative gender privilege and advocating specifically for the empowerment of black women. I do not agree, however, with the formulation that cis…

I’m going to refrain from addressing this further out of respect for the fact that a man, however justified he may feel in the soundness of his rational explanation of what might have happened between a given man & woman probably just sounds like white people sound when they tell a POC that the overtly racist thing…

You seriously believe it did? It goes without saying we are all culturally programmed to dismiss any woman’s claims of sexual abuse but the cynic would say an opportunist like Hughes understands that full well. Accusing a (black!) man who works for Fox News given all that we know to be true about the institutional…

“Hughes readily admits that she and Payne carried on a romantic and sexual relationship from 2013 to 2015. Both Payne and Hughes are married. She claims the harassment started after she ended the affair in 2015.”

This is terrifying. And I just saw IT.

He should get his ass kicked. That’ll sort him.

Your flailing is kind of embarrassing. The internet has been around since 1992. Maybe learn how to form an argument as opposed to calling anyone who’s not into being gaslighted an idiot or small minded.

I wish white people would put as much energy into dismantling white supremacy as they do into explaining how they aren’t racist.

That’s interesting but not relevant to the current discussion.

I’m going to need you to Kinja better than that, m’kay?

She’s actually not talking about racial violence. The context of her comments addressed the violence in Charlottesville but in her post  she’s just talking about white people, yes, all of them, being socialized to be racist.

Then you’re misreading her quote because it doesn’t say what you’re saying it says. She didn’t backpedal. She’s not wrong. You wanting it to be otherwise doesn’t change that.

I’m just here for the “everybody was kung-fu fighting” jokes.

Good read. ETA:

You’re being defensive. I get it. But it’s worth nothing that, as a matter of history, much of the racism and bigotry you point to in “the middle east, in the Asian world, in Africa and in South America” has its roots in Europeann colonialism. White people may not have invented racial persecution but you damn sure…

And there’s your internal bias finding itself a spot in the sun.
