I have thin little lips, and if I ever saw someone with a lip job where it didn’t look like they had been mutilated, I would be tempted. So, what I am saying is thank you Khloe and Kylie for keeping me from wasting money on plastic surgery.

Well, they probably can understand a lot better what it is like to be white from sheer exposure.

Just saw this:

No, not at all.

I was just using that as shorthand for all the groups that typically vote Republican voters. Certainly rich white people in the suburbs vote Republican as well. I was just initially surprised that the people who voted for Trump would have ever been considered allies who would betray. But I understand that the…

He’ll just let Russia drill for oil all over the arctic circle, and anywhere else they like.

I have a bad sore throat, so it is not nice to make me laugh so hard.

I mistakenly picked up their CD in a Sam Goody bargain bin. I confused them with Third Eye Blind. Or did I pick up a Third Eye Blind album thinking it was a 311 album? I’ve tried to forget my many mistakes from the 90s....

What I love is that “What a dream it is for Mr. President Erdogan and The First Lady to invite me to their home” could easily be her saying what a dream it is for them.

And there is no easy answer. I think a combination of things - having lived in different countries and neighborhoods and worked places where I was the only white person/American I have an inkling of being other. Having lived many years with various black and other non-white roommates I have learned certain things…

To be clear, I am speaking from a white perspective. While I was rubbed the wrong way by some of what the author that interviewed Carolyn Bryant Donham said, I agree with his quote “White supremacy is the water, and we are the fish.” I can open my eyes, but does a fish even know it is in water? There can be a vast…

It is amazing and terrifying how good people are at compartmentalizing. Also amazing and terrifying how many attempts I had to make spelling compartmentalizing.  

I guess the betrayal can come from a misplaced sense of hope that maybe this time that colleague/neighbor will see your humanity.

“...Donham’s lie didn’t kill Till, but it did ensure that her husband and brother-in-law got off scot free....” - And yet her lie did just that. A straight line can certainly be drawn from her lie to his death.

There is a whole lot of ugly defensiveness by white feminists that needs to be thought through and addressed. I would say the only thing I don’t understand about the above post is “They deserve space to say that they feel betrayed by the 53 percent of white women who voted for Trump—and the silent accomplices smiling…

For a second I thought she really did end her speech with “What this story is not about is hidden fences.” Now I am somewhat disappointed.

Thankfully I avoided that pitfall and went with “White Dove”, which I think better reflects the peaceful nature of white hegemony.

It is hard to tell how many people were fully illusioned before versus “This is not America” being a useful rallying cry and pushback against the toxic nationalism of the right wing. But I fully believe as a white person I inherently exist on a different spectrum of believing in the goodness of the US, even if I…

I am currently in Vermont feeling the Newfoundland island vibes.

You don’t understand my struggles. I am a WASP and I had to figure out what shade of white to paint a room. Do you know there are like 500 shades of white out there. My suffering is real.
