The “doofus” article was written in conjunction with people who have PhDs and are experts in their field. There is no better evidence. You dismissing it means you just want your way, not a reasoned argument. Sorry. I can’t help you there. If you can’t acknowledge good evidence, then you are simply lying about wanting…

LOL! You think racism is a purely Western phenomena by my definition? No. Think about it.

We don’t even like sex. We just have it for the fake rape accusations!

Different dictionaries say different things. The definition I’m using is more accurate for our purposes. Should I say it all more pleasantly? Would that make it more convincing? Or does the tone policing you just did only work if I don’t challenge it?

Thanks. I’m sorry that happened to you and feel a great deal of anger about it as well. As someone who has experience sexual assault myself, though not rape, I felt a lot of disgust for the nastiness of “She just wanted attention.”

As a white woman and a rape victim, I would like to say that you have worded this extremely well. I am perfectly immune to anyone who might say something about my race (other than it hurting my feelings for 10 hours or so b/c I feel like, for just one second, I haven’t been viewed as an individual)—b/c society makes…

But her issue isn’t with a narrative of cooperation, it’s with a narrative of action. We all know there will be zero concrete results that come from this. This isn’t a meaningful negotiation over actionable policy choices for the White House, it’s a gesture of respect through dialogue with an activist community.

They could have at least linked to Aislinn’s own statement about why she declined to attend. She’s a brilliant and strategic organizer who is too busy organizing with a movement that has changed the political landscape in Chicago to fly to DC to participate in a photo op with the president that was unlikely to have…

Your post is all over the place, but first, let’s concentrate on the “history” comment.

But, white people cannot be materially harmed within the system by this hatred. I’m sure it stings on a personal level, but comparing it to the centuries of racist actions and horrific behavior against people of color reveals there just is no comparison. That’s why it’s not racism; it’s prejudice or discriminatory…

I get why you said that. But, racism is a systemic problem. Those who experience racism can’t, by its very definition, commit it because they are forced to the outside of the system.

John Lewis hasn’t spoken to her racial justice platform, as far as I know.

Because it was an awful thing to say. It implies women fake rape for attention on the regular. It supports sexist beliefs. It doesn’t matter if she knows the judge or has read the records. She isn’t just implying Kesha, who has, by the way, basically given up her career, is lying and just wants attention. (By being…

It’s not racism, but it is discriminatory and supporting sexism in full force. It implies that the women, a lot of them, lie about rape for attention. It’s a gross and disgusting thing to say, and I’ve lost every single bit of respect for the commenter, who I respected quite a bit before this. It belittles the problem…

No. This is a fucking awful thing to say. I liked this commenter before this. Not anymore. What the fuck.

The commenter doesn’t speak for POC either, including Erica Garner, Cornell West, and Michelle Alexander, who wrote the New Jim Crow.

Again, if Hillary had any meaingful racial justice platform or history, I might be with you, but I’m with Michelle Alexander here. Sanders is the lesser of evils by a large margin.

But recognizing that Bernie, like Hillary, has blurred vision when it comes to race is not the same thing as saying their views are equally problematic. Sanders opposed the 1996 welfare-reform law. He also opposed bank deregulation and the Iraq War, both of which Hillary supported, and both of which have proved…

Is this the same Miz Jenkins that comments here?
