“To be clear, not many people think Quinn Norton is a racist or a homophobe.”

I just dismissed someone already trying to stifle the conversation with “it’s only white men you have to worry about” nonsense.
“when are we going to start talking about how white women, as a force, are the first perpetrators of direct and personal racism against Black and Latino people?”
So, when are we going to start talking about how white women, as a force, are the first perpetrators of direct and personal racism against Black and Latino people? As the dominant demographic in our educational system, I would bet my house that a significant amount of folks, if not the majority, first experienced…
Most people, especially men of all colors do not sympathize with black women pain or tears. Whenever I see a black woman being comforted, it’s usually another black woman.
I feel like this is the perfect occasion for this. President Obama’s painting will hang in that museum in perpetuity. It is important to see different views and hear different voices in our most storied of institutions. Otherwise, you’re just letting yet another boring old white man decide how our leaders should look.…
Totally! For me, I have other plans for that money. And I like your elopement ideas- definitely NO GIFT affairs. I’m in my 30s, I don’t need household things, I can afford my wants, so I can cut that part out.
She birthed, transported to him games, paid for every stitch of sports clothing and equipment, and probably outsold every parent in fundraising for the team. She can upstage him, slap the black off him, ask how dare you and any damn thing else because she is the MAMA, so EVERYONE can shut the hell up. You wouldn’t…
Not just a little bit racist, a whole lot, and also sexist.
I’ve always just assumed Middleditch is an asshole. He’s the least funny character on Silicon Valley, he comes across like a douche in interviews, and he seems to think the success of Silicon Valley is largely due to him, rather than in spite of him. And to top it off, Verizon very foolishly made him their…
Are we sure he wasn’t doing this interview in character as Richard? Starts out talking about a successful new project, gets asked about something else and starts giving kind of bad answers that could result in negative press, gets flustered and tries to salvage things, but ends up digging himself deeper. And then…
Another question: Why is there a whole assembly, and television coverage, of one guy choosing what college he’s going to go to?
which is why this brown girl is saving her money for “Black Panther”
I hope this series addresses the topics in your 1st sentence, because they do seem to play a major role in identity.
So far, they’ve chosen a great, thoughtful group of people to speak. I wonder if they will delve into the differences between those reared in mostly black, white, or mixed environments, or include statements from people who are less thoughtful for balance (for accurracy’s sake, not b/c those perspectives need any more…
As a woman born of this generation, I can say that it has been my experience that self-identification was dictated largely by two factors: the race of your mother and your phenotype. Because my mother is Black and from South Carolina, those were the values I was raised with and what firmly guided my identity…
There is a criticism about Key and Peele and Blackish and Dear White People, that had been floating around, and it’s something to the affect of its media by black people about black people FOR white people. And its a criticism I never fully understood until I listened to this 2 Dope Queens podcast. I did not even…
Fuck her. The damage is done. She was just doing it last week. Nope. Noooooooooooope. I hope she’s through.
Except that the journalist was guilty of this as well. And it is something I have noticed with the BBC (and us, I’m sure); they interrupt women far more than men, and they interrupt people who speak deliberately before they have finished their sentences (as in the case of Ms. Adichie), even more if their accents are…
