She’s not worse than Donald Trump. No One is saying that. Let me repeat No One is Saying that. But don’t think it hasn’t been noticed, particularly by young black women, that when we bring up her record and her actions, and try to hold her accountable, like taking money from the geo group and the CCA, her racism in…

I would hope that the discussion would be about how white republicans and democrats benefit from the modern enslavement and mistreatment of black people, and now latinx considering CCA also builds detention centers that detain migrant and undocumented families indefinitely. But It’s probably just going to devolve into…

Good to be reminded that LOTS of places are in danger and need improvement.

Thank You! White feminism is turning into white supremacy’s little sister. Do white women face discrimination...of course! Is it on the same level as men of color...hell no! And the discrimination that white women face isn’t even in the same galaxy as women of color. White feminism is becoming less about equality and…

The US and NATO could stop the flow of refugees by not perpetuating the wars they started. But that’s not going to happen.

Maybe it’s because she clearly murdered this man with no remorse. Typical white woman clutching her purse when she sees a black man.

Must be nice having the privilege to not “expose a six-year-old (lol on the italic emphasis) to the ugliness of the world”.

Somehow I feel like we need a whole post on this.

Say that! Let us never forget throughout America’s history white women have been willful participants to the enslavement, degradation, and violence committed against black people. They tortured women and children. No pass for gender, no side convo about it whatsoever. You cannot spilt this baby. If you feel like…

That’s really not true and neither Shelby nor Holtzclaw mentioned in a comment threaded below have been targeted unfairly; all police officers should be treated the way they have (carefully--in order to lessen the chance of a successful appeal after conviction--but with an eye towards actual justice). Here are some…

It is worse. After September 11, many Americans didn’t have a clue as to what the Arab World or Islam was at all -- and so they hadn’t solidified any hatred for either. And, in fact, there were spates of articles in various newspapers, on the radio, etc. educating people about various forms of Islam: history and…

None of the murders in 2015 up to September were classified as hate crimes. So, yeah, under reporting is something of an understatement.

Part of the thing with trans folks is that it used to be vastly underreported. If the police and family won’t even recognize that someone is trans, how can their murder be counted as a hate crime? Couple that with a rapidly rising national profile and a lot more people being comfortable coming out, and this sort of…

Again, he’s not black.

Also a story in london about woman who miscarried after racist attack, probably not Trump related but who knows really. The man has a talent for inspiring these sort of folks.

You actually don’t have to support Trump, or be white, to be anti-Muslim.

So.... getting a story about the destruction of a (possible) sacred native American site is less important than your sense of outrage that she trespassed?

I agree. I think USA is also way more patriarchal and sexist than the UK. It’s reflected in the American mass culture as well as its political discourse. I mean compare UK’s and USA’s conservative parties. I think lot of the stuff that American politicians say such as Mitt Romney’s binders full of women and many more…

I’m an Eastern European immigrant living in the UK, and I have to say things are a bit uneasy after the Brexit. However, this initiative is great.

After Obama was elected hate groups tripled. Nothing terrified bigots like a black man being elected president. Gun sales have risen year after year, even though no one has taken away anyone's guns away. And since the overt bigotry of Trump has pushed the toxic underbelly of the right wing out in the open, hate crimes…
