Okay this is just making me dislike Hillary to the point where if she gets the nomination I will just vote for like...BOBBY JINDAL. I AM OUT.

Re: Clinton’s opening statement:

Maybe Taiwan had a female candidate they could actually believe in.

Warning: gonna get philosophical a bit here...

“ President Obama thinks Kendrick Lamar would beat Drake.”

Everything about this is *awesome* and *correct*.

I hope Gillian gets called a whore a lot more times. Then I hope a lot more women get called whores a lot more times, because then it’s extra funny, because it’s 2016 and I still want to watch shows where women are called whores for a laugh!

We all have some sort of social lens that colors how we see the world. They are difficult to drop but if you can do so, I invite you to drop your social lens for a moment and look at these images in the absence of history. Pretend for a moment that blackface minstrel shows never existed. Don’t ignore other racial…

And plenty of those people donning lederhosen have not benefitted from the exploitation of the original wearers of that garb. This is not simply about people dressing up like someone. It is about a collective, centuries old history of exploitation of Africa and its resources. It is about how the Western world…

It does not matter if she knows what black face is. That’s not the point. The point is that she erased the original, perfectly valid identities of those women she was claiming to serve, Please, stop getting stuck on whether she knows the technical terms for black face or not. The point is she egotistically centered…

Who cares if she “doesn’t know she’s being racist?” Sigh. Racism does not have to be self aware to exist, to be hurtful and just as damaging and pointless as self aware racist. If she didn’t know before, she does now.

And your statement is a large part of why society continues to act like it does today. Just to clarify I am not acting like I am superior to anyone else. But honestly, since the dawn of the internet, and even the library. This woman has no excuse, even if she was trying to help. She’s not. As I stated before, she’s…

People have used this counterpoint before. The issue is that, this woman thinks of herself as a “savior” or “good person” by wearing blackface to portray African cultures / people. Even though she thinks that she’s doing a good thing, she’s only showing the surface of these people. Not the culture on what these…

i am from hungary, living here, in budapest. as i have reviewed all replies to your comment, i noticed one thing that is really common among hungarians: the denial of massive racism. actually, racism is a huge problem in our country. mostly it affects roma minority but as we could see this summer, during the refugee…

Is Hungary located in some remote part of the world where there is no access to media outside of the country? Are you saying that in 2016, Hungarians still need to educated about cultural appropriation and racism? I need you stop excusing the behavior of racist narcissistic adults. She does not value the tribal women…

The American “tradition” of blackface/minstrelsy has been exported around the world for almost 200 years.

I know right? Why are black people SO MEAN when pointing out the ways whites dehumanize and degrade them??

She's essentially creating the conditions (the gradual disappearance of said tribe through erasure, that she claims to be fighting against) by centering her own non-African body. Europeans are something else.

These stunning portraits show how beauty varies across the globe and prove that all of us are beautiful in a different way. They’re celebrating stunning tribal beauties at the brink of extinction.
