True, but it’s intellectually dishonest to claim that it’s “ya’ll white peoples thing” as she tweeted out. I'm Jewish and native and Spanish, and as far as I know, allllllllll my ancestors were enslaved as well as enslaving others at various points in history.

Well I would agree except to say that it CAN have large scale effects as bigotry is often imparted to the younger generations and then can grow exponentially.
Tried to embed a screenshot of her tweets. The Arab slave trade http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slav… and the “Oriental” slave trade http://discoveringbristol.org.uk/slavery/routes… were both in existence long before the European/Trans Atlantic slave trade. Not to mention the fact that every culture throughout…

I still don’t buy the fairly recent academic definition of racism only being possible by those in power, but no, I didn’t think her statements were racist, just wrong. Besides, it seems to me she was intending to be sensational in her comments, most likely to get people to think and ponder and challenge their…
My only issue with her statements were that some of them were not factual. She's a professor, she should do her research.
She made incorrect statements about slavery, those were the only thing I took issue with. She tweeted that it was basically an European invention despite the fact that it was around and prolific for thousands of years before that.
Right? That's my problem everytime I hit the non-fiction section... I'm like, what's your angle, book? Are you trying to rewrite history, book?
Jesus wept. My first verse I “memorized” for Awana, my first thought when seeing those hateful signs.
I appreciate your well thought out response. Part of the issue living in America is the propaganda from both sides.... I have Israeli friends, both Jew and Arab who love their state (much like my love of the US, despite acknowledging our issues with race and poverty) and have a much different viewpoint than is…
Not to mention BDS actually harms Palestinians. The closure of the Soda Stream factory? 500+ Palestinians lost their jobs which paid double what they could make elsewhere.
I love the smell of puns in the morning.
A matter of taste... Agreed. I have been told I am wrong for hating Saturday Night Fever... But it's so depressing, I don't get how people love it.
John Travolta, so skinny and so gay with his high pitched voice... Stockard Channing looking old, the rediculous dance numbers, the racing gangs... It’s all so wrong that it’s perfectly right. I am sure you are a lovely human, but you are just so wrong about this.
Who hates Grease!!!!!!????!!!
Why are there SO MANY CRUMBS?! I swear none of the food gets in their mouths.
My 5 and 3 year old are with my mom for the week... After cleaning my house and having lunch with my girls... I'm at a loss as to what to do with my time....
Nope. I'm 10 lbs lighter than before my first child.... But I still have loose belly skin and stretch marks... My old body will never return. RIP old body, RIP.
Irrational Man could literally be Woody Allen’s name.
