Hey Kara, isn’t Gawker Media 79% white? Maybe you guys should worry about your own diversity numbers.

I mean, should he even be embarrassed about that? Pretty much every boyfriend I’ve ever had wants his ass played with/fingered.

And genius lyrics, Kanye:

If you say you want diversity and you’re not hiring (and retaining) diversity, you don’t really want diversity.

Yeah, I’m certainly not endorsing that attitude, I just noticed it working at those kind of jobs. Casual racism and homophobia were also rampant, but much like the stay-at-home dad mockery, it was always behind the person’s back.

What did I write that seemed angry? I simply posted a photo.

Everything he said was 100% valid. Just because you would vote for someone simply because they’re black doesn’t make Caine an asshole for saying that you shouldn’t do that.

The idea that whites face oppression in the US is laughable at best.

“racism is prejudice PLUS institutional power” That’s a ridiculous contrived definition to cover social justice hypocrisy.

Bitching because we have to earn the respect of PoC is just punching down and victim-blaming. My job is to LEARN from the people who have to navigate a structurally racist society and do my damndest to leverage what privilege I have to change it.

you’re mixing up being prejudiced with being racist. You can be prejudiced against another race, but being racist implies a system of power over a minority.

Are you a sophomore at UC Santa Cruz who hails from Stockton? Because you sound like a lot of other folks I remember who just discovered social and racial injustice and seem to lack the ability to think critically about it. There’s more then one book, one class, one instructor- you can do better!

I never understood why people tried to limit the definition of racism to just institutional racism. It’s stupid, dishonest, and comes across as an attempt to say that only white people can be racist.

“because racism is prejudice PLUS institutional power, and white people are the ones with institutional power.”

Old dumb rich white lady is racist. Color me surprised.

Here, I’ll make a new definition too:

God the resonponses you’re getting are so indicative of ... this site.

How is racism not a belief system that ones race is superior to another based on ignorant beliefs?

“Racist to whites” isn’t a thing, because racism is prejudice PLUS institutional power, and white people are the ones with institutional power.
