She looks like she is mentally giving the finger to a slew of people who have been telling her that her opinion is wrong, and I am HERE FOR IT.

It’s like there’s a direct correlation between white success and casual bigotry - because as far as I know, he wasn’t known for spouting this anti-semetic and racist shit when he first hit the scene. His success emboldened him. His toxic audience’s filth made him feel like he could do the same thing (he basically said…

For the record, the Buddhist symbol looks similar to the swastika, but the directions on the points are actually reversed, so it’s not exactly the same. Still, I think this does cause some confusion in Asia where people are less likely to associate it with Nazi-ism than being a religious symbol (albeit not realizing…

I feel like the iron cross, which is the one the nazis used, is pretty recognizable and reviled as a nazi symbol. The ones christians put up in their homes and churches usually look a bit different.

This, is, hands down, winner of the All Time And Space Worst Advertising Campaign Ever Period, Everybody Else Go Home, This Is It. 

Unfortunately, yes, Korea’s used the imagery, usually to sell things like skin lotion:

Yeah, it’s a giant red flag to use jewess.

In a state that sent nearly a quarter-million men (more than a tenth of whom died) to fight AGAINST that shameful cause, no less.

I’m sorry, exactly HOW MANY YEARS of free labor did you receive from us?

I think you’ll find that the real grifters are the people who exploit white supremacy to further enrich themselves and entrench their power, not those who are merely asking for America to repay the debt it owes to black people.

It’s not about their feelings. It’s not about defending them.

This annoys the shit out of me....that all white people benefit from racism.

We live and operate in the real world by not being exclusionary or accepting it from others. You’ve done that all your damn life so cut the shit.

Sure, she has the right to be displeased; I’m not questioning that. I meant she should be actively pleased by the outcome, because of how the Streisand Effect has amplified her message. She shouldn’t (IMO) give too much of a shit about being fired. It wasn’t like L’Oreal was gonna be a permanent career anyway, so if…

Hello. You’re wrong. Stop caping for exclusion and division in the name of anger.

This idea that all things we say are fine and deserve contextualization even if they are overstatements or hyperbole and everything they say is exactly what they meant to say, no explanation needed or wanted, is from a genuine place of distrust. Institutional racism means it’s hard to believe when the oppressive…

Right, and we have all inherited, like your couch, a social construct of white supremacy. Like I said, if she wanted to discuss social constructs, she should have. But a social construct (like racism or, for that matter, race itself) is by definition learned. So by saying “racism isn’t learned, it’s inherited” and…

Agreed.

They wrote this whole article without quoting or addressing her original comments at all. It allows her to weasel out of what she said by saying “ALL white people” is some kind of abstract concept with no relation to individuals. Are you kidding me?

Sorry, but you can’t say ‘white people’ and then backpedal and say you didn’t mean *all* white people. You don’t get to engage in the same behavior you find offensive and not get called out on it.
