Intersectional feminism does, which is obvious to a lot of people familiar with the terminology, but let’s be real here for a minute, out in the real world not everyone knows that. And that’s okay. I don’t expect the same level of discussion from a pop star as I would from a women’s studies professor or a group like…

In an environment where a bunch of white people rage-shit themselves nearly every time a black public figure says anything about the black experience, can you blame her for carefully worded responses?

I shave my legs and wear makeup, those are both actions rooted in misogyny. Am I not feminist enough? Should L’Oreal and Venus be called out for oppressing women? Should make up and leg shaving be made illegal in schools?

Most men in America do not wear dresses, when I wear a dress am I participating in my own oppression? Should fashion designers be called out for making such disgusting gendered clothing?

So, you’d be OK with a law that banned bras and shirts for women, on the grounds of fighting misogyny? Sure, that sounds totally logical.

No it isn’t and no they aren’t. And no one is saying that those that are forced don’t deserve that attention. But the women who make that choice also don’t need to be lectured by those who have certain ideas about their religion but don’t bother to learn about all of it because they want to bitch about the patriarchy.…

She will get conservative, right-wing things done. She will do a far- better job of this than ANY Republican ever could because people like you will support her pro-corporation, pro-wealth and anti-poor persons agenda because the optics are better when this evil stuff is pushed by a Democratic woman. She will probably…

Why should he do leg-work for the party that has repeatedly screwed him over throughout the primaries when he is already fighting an uphill battle to give people a real choice at the ballot?

You insulted me personally. I referenced publicly available information. You said she’s helping “small” candidates. Name one. I can name several candidates Bernie is helping: Tim Canova. John Fetterman. Zephyr Teachout. Kaniela Ing. That’s just off the top of my head.

You want a link? Here’s a link, to just ONE…

There have been accounts of boys in the same age group being arrested for similar behavior.

I kind of agree. For me it’s...odd that her parents have gone to their local TV station with this. I get being protective of your kid, but as someone else pointed out, this isn’t something that’s going to result in any permanent black mark on her record. If this had happened to me my parents would be pissed, but…

There seems to be something missing here. So it’s a “game” at this particular school. Were there already a lot of issues? Was this kid constantly targeted? Was this girl one of the ringleaders? Was there a warning? etc etc

Thank you. Liberals love a good right-wing boogeyman. Like, you really think only right-wingers kept Jim Crow alive for 50 years? Did myths of black inferiority only come from the mouths of conservatives??

Only a fool would still believe the parties are somehow different. Regardless of party, we get the same shitty results, just for different reasons.

Not conflating the two parties in general. I’m referring to overlaps on the specific issue of criminalizing blackness and the criminal justice system.

Progressive black people don’t care whose calling card it is if Democrats are still along for the ride and the end result is that we’re still getting shitted on.

Also, using a privileged white woman in a conversation on white supremacy...on jezebel. The jokes just write themselves!

Hmmmmmm, can I imagine it worse...you’re asking a black person if she can imagine an existence for black people worse than multiple Scalias on the Supreme Court....

I’ve read the U.S. Weekly article here, and it’s a diet that I’d probably jump on if I had the time/means. Gisele and Tom are rich, so they can afford a personal chef to make everything for them—obviously a luxury that only the very few can do.

Nope. I read that. But whereas you’re saying this off-handedly as if they’re just some side-effect of racist, neo-conservativism, I’m making it explicit that it doesn’t take an “evil” right winger to initiate stances on anti-blackness.
