I'm not black. I shouldn't be deciding the best way to talk about antiblack racism. That's not my place.

I think that other people—particularly Spambot9000 and Evie Havok—have explained it pretty well already.

1) It's about white people as a sociological group. Enough white people do this stuff that it doesn't really matter that not every single one does. As someone who is generally considered white, I know that the OP…

Eh, it's much more the word than you. It's just that every single time I see it used, the speaker/writer means "Christian." It's not really a big thing, but after a lot of time it just grates on you. The Jewish press has a decent explanation of why many Jews find the term offensive.

The thing is, the idea of America's…

It's not a discussion about racism without white people jumping in to remind you that we're not all like that.

"...fuck Germans too! They hate jews, right?"

I don't understand why Gentiles do this. It seems like roughly a third of the times I see a discussion of racism—and particularly antiblack racism—someone goes "But the Jews..." Sometimes it's the typical model minority foolishness ("The Jews were successful and we were…

"The death of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world."—Edgar Allan Poe, "The Philosophy of Composition"

This from one of the founders of Western horror. I love the genre, but it pisses me off to realize that a lot of the female characters are just there to be assaulted and/or die. We…

So where's the Judeo- side of that? Please don't say "Judeo-Christian" if you mean "Christian."

I find little substitutions to be very helpful. For example, today I made macaroni and cheese with avocado instead of butter. Except for the ensuing color change, no one would notice the difference, and the dish was much healthier than the original recipe.

I disagree. The North might lack the history of the Confederacy, but I've known plenty of racists here that do believe or pretend that there's something noble about their racism.

Some of them believe that things were universally better before we had a large influx of Latin-American and Asian immigrants, but don't…

This is avocado's town now!

I firmly believe that this guy was a schoolyard bully. Actually, he still is.

And,,,comma ellipses?

I generally don't like commenting on someone else's spelling or grammar, but sweet Moses in the rushes, if you're in a position of political power you should have a firm grasp on basic punctuation.

Smile. In the creepiest fashion you can. Think serial killer.

I've got an uncle that needs a kidney transplant. You want to step up to the plate?

When I first saw them, I was fully prepared to shell out the four hundred or so they cost (this, from a woman who carefully examined the price per weight of two different cheeses today in order to save seventy-five cents). Naturally, there's only one pair and it was long gone by the time I found it.

I feel duty-bound to further showcase the wonder and glory that is Louie Gong.

I think the line between appreciation and appropriation is similar to that between sharing and stealing.

For example, wearing Native-made apparel that was meant to be sold—in other words, what you're doing—is appreciation. You have been invited by the designers and makers to take part in their cultures in this way.…

I dunno the demographics of the original pool, but I think both the prosecution and defense have a limited amount of objections/vetoes when it comes to jury selection. There's only so much he/she could do.

I guess we could compare this reaction to the typical scapegoating that happens when a country's in hard times? When times get bad, normally the majority turns on the minorities regardless of how sensible that is.

Maybe? IDK. I feel somewhat grateful that this is unfathomable to us.

But a fetus or embryo produced from rape isn't inherently different than one produced from consensual sex. According to your parameters, someone is still being killed for someone else's mistakes. You're prioritizing holding people (mostly women, in this case) "responsible for their actions" over the fetuses/embryos.

I…
