When I discuss abortion issues, my focus isn’t on a worry that I might impregnate someone and she won’t have access to an abortion, leaving me partially responsible for an unwanted child. That’s possibly true, but it’s beside the point. The point of abortion is that it allows a woman fully bodily autonomy.

With all due respect, white liberals have been telling us that ‘few bad apples’ trope for the last 60 years.... which is why you were all so stunned at Trump’s victory. America is RACIST AS FUCK, we’ve been telling you so, now it’s time to stop telling us what we’re saying isn’t so bad. It fucking is.

Speak up, but be silent.

If people like Lauren Duca are only looking at the streets to determine how many female Nazis there are, they’re missing a HUGE chunk of the picture. For someone who seems to be internet savvy, I’m surprised she hasn’t noticed all of the female Nazis online. Maybe she’s just conveniently ignoring them. It’s not just

I think you’re (intentionally) misunderstanding what this article is actually saying.

I would also add:

I am literally here for this comment section.

“well, what if we just ignored the racists? They’d hate that most of all!”

Yeah, my SO (well, kind of... it’s complicated) is Jewish (like me) and talked about how horrified her Trump-voting grandparents were. She apparently laughed in their face. Some Jewish people have gotten too comfortable with the mistaken belief their whiteness is irrevocable.

I have heard the “just ignore them” argument about 5 times this weekend. It’s unbelievable. As if the Nazis don’t have an agenda beyond getting attention. I’ve also heard “they’re a minority!” Which isn’t true. And even if it were, ignoring them won’t keep it that way. It all amounts to victim blaming for the sake of

This was the weekend shoutmatch battle I had with my dad yesterday. He believed that they should be ignored bc paying attention to them only gives them the legitimacy and attention they crave. And that a counter protest should have been held elsewhere, not in confrontation with them since the Neo-Nazis so clearly were

“These Nazis don’t want to kill them.”

Turns out when you demonize, castigate & no-platform people on the basis of their white skin color, some eventually get upset.

But what are white people coping with? Shame? These Nazis don’t want to kill them.

I’m genuinely not trolling either: your opinion is really stupid.

Bingo. It’s exactly the pleasantville citizens who make up the everyday racists among us. They’re not all red neck, tobacco chewing, backwoods, hick type fellars.

I commented on Mark Warner’s Facebook page but I heard people saying, “well, what if we just ignored the racists? They’d hate that most of all!” or “we should just mock them!”

What is obvious is that it’s not just hicks and dropouts who are the deplorable as many would like to posit #notallyadayada. But then again we have known that for a long time, see the frat bros and all those who like to engage in casual racism. So the khakis and polo shirts are on and no amount of memes would make
