I love how your take away from this well written post is, "won't someone think of the WHITE PEOPLE?!?!"

I honestly believe white folks know blackface is wrong, they just don't give a fuck. Even here on gawker and Jez White people try time and again to try to qualify it or explain why there is a difference between their blackface and blackface of old. They always go "Well if I am just trying to portray a character, how…
Shopping while black, essentially.
I want to be you. I hope that's okay.
Can't say I'm surprised that this dude goes through a lot of Trojans.
Debasing a race and several cultures for a laugh is racism. It's just as racist as building prisons based on the number of african american students that are in elementary schools. Currently both of those things happens in America. And, at least one of those things apparently happens in Australia. The point, however,…
Come on. Somewhere deep in your bullshit post is a good point that some people are often more horrified by rhetorical racism than real, concrete racism like the US prison system. But that and your nonsensical "nanny state" comment are just lazy. I don't believe in a nanny state — nor a state — either and I still find…
I love both this picture and your username. I'm a sucker for a good literary pun.

Even if you hadn't posted a pic of Panthers marching in Sacramento, I would have starred you for your moniker alone. Rock on.
I want to thank you for this image and using it to respond to the whitesplaining asshat above. Also: your screename is the best.
Now I'm just picturing white people in blackface, berets, and uniforms. "What, bro? It's ironic!"
What the fuckin what??
tl;dr version of her response:
Nope. Not today. Don't have the strength.
As someone who has worked in Africa (Rwanda specifically, because Africa is a big, non-homogenous continent) for a long time, I actually don't want her to go to Africa. Too many privileged white people use Africa and Africans as a path to self-discovery and people get hurt because of it. She's clearly too ignorant to…
I have always wanted to go to Africa (to teach English)
True.
So what you're saying is, Perry has mastered the single entendre.
