but to say you can't criticize someone for being a member of a group if that group is itself fucked up seems pretty hand-wavy.

The dogma sure...then there is assuming that everyone agrees with and follows it equally (ever heard of a Cafeteria Catholic? While usually pejorative, I've also seen it used as a self identifier; means about the same thing either way), or using the actions of people belonging to one specific sect/church/etc as a…
Atheist PSA:
Aww. I think he looks like a gruff mountaineer with a secretly soft heart!
Or there could be responsible parents that pay attention to what their kid is doing as opposed to letting them lock themselves in a room all day playing a game....
Someone needs to tell Wang that men buy their women overpriced ugly lingerie, not jeans, cuz it's pretty obvious that this isn't aimed at women. I'm not going to run out and buy a pair of jeans that I can't even see in the ad and isn't that the point of advertising? Fail.
Beyond the obviously problematic, is this an ad for women's denim? Because this is a terrible way to advertise to us since it's really only going to stick in the minds of men (and a few women). For god's sake, I can't even tell what the jeans look like. It would be more provocative to put women's denim on a sexy man.…
Damn. Of course there are plenty of horror stories that are better corroborated and where the connections are less tenuous. And of course if I were trying to publish that story in a newspaper I would have found out more details, like what exactly went wrong with her pregnancy, what particular types of aggression she…
1) Huh?
My eyes...they can't adjust quickly enough to the brightness....
No shit. I hate to not all white people, but damn. I want no part of messed up white people fuckery. Team POC.
All of this just makes me wish (as a non-Black POC) that the race riots would start already. Does no one else feel like we're seriously on the brink of race wars becoming reality? Race relations are regressing and whites don't seem to think there is anything wrong with that.
He was so smug. And the fact that it kept being delayed is unconscionable. I'm having a hard time formulating words about this. It has been a week of hard issues for this country and we are performing horrendously
Apparently people who can't tell the difference between indictment and trial.
I said in the Gawker thread I wouldn't watch but I couldn't help myself. Now I wish I had stuck to my original intent. That press conference by McCulloch was one of the most condescending, maddening things I've seen/heard in a long time. I knew an indictment wasn't coming, but this DA is infuriating and unqualified…
Wilson's team has indicated that they never expected an indictment.
I'm so ashamed of my country right now. There are no words. I'm so sorry, Ferguson.
I go to college in Cleveland where an innocent twelve year old boy was killed in cold blood by an officer today for daring to carry a BB gun. I'm crying as I type this. I'm so angry. I'm so angry and yet powerless and it's killing me.
I can't handle this. Currently screaming into my pillow.
