As a woman interviewed by the Root said earlier this week: “Racism is white people’s problem. They started it. They need to fix it.”

That commentator ‘Siege Mentality...’ just casually AllLivesMatter-ed Zinzi’s statement. Remarkable.

Why? Why do you still need her to specifically speak out to you? Why is there always a caveat when Black feminists or feminist of color do something because you weren’t included. Welcome to it.

A lot of those women saw themselves in lena and can’t grasp that they might be racist as fuck as well.

I appreciate this young woman taking a stance and possibly losing a paycheck in the process.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after…

I sincerely hoped that officer enjoyed the gift God gave him.

Ahh, my mistake. Still seems like a risky deescalation strategy, though.

I think it was the other way around:

From folks who knew him, this is nothing new.

But of course. If you’re terrified of a large black man, the best way to defuse the situation is by asking him to give you a blowjob. Makes perfect sense.

WifeSwap USA Special perhaps?
