Please keep at it. ‘Penetrating the veil’ seems impossible- right until the moment whatever you did actually works on someone.

I see you are dropping the important data, per usual. But, Rooo, this has been an especially exciting episode of Blameless. This season’s writers aren’t wasting any time. In this universe, we have a whole new dictionary and a new bible. Science has been discarded, sociology does not exist. Data is the enemy.

Firstly, please notice I did not mention your daughter at all outside of quoting you. I focused only on the portion of your comment which discussed you, as an adult. “My daughter is the kindest and most empathetic . . .” yeah, same here. I have a daughter and she also hung the moon. The difference is, her aunts and…

Access does not equal influence, but there is not the possibility of influence without access. Don’t be coy. And how’s that self-proclaimed practical strategy working out for us? Let me make sure I have it right: Although every scientific and cultural discipline accepts the mass classification of groups of persons by…

I can’t teach you the entirety of the intersections among sociology, anthropology, psychology and woman is studies in one comment, so I’ll just have to hope one day you can be open to objectivity and notice your own inclination to deflect the blame to men. Even if seeking male approval or operating in the patriarchy…

No, you should think things through. Taking away the bartender’s income is in no way comparable to declining to insist an imaginary Black person fight a racist instead of a White person. You’re changing the subject and I’m done playing. Some people will always think of my people as stronger and more qualified than…

My fault. I was hoping that it was a joke. I was hoping that you weren’t suggesting that it would have been better for a Black man to have to get physical with these racist assholes and be emotionally abused by them. But I see you’re serious *and* doubling down. White men behave as racists, White man stops them.…

What is the point of this comment? Your view that white women don’t consider themselves as ‘those’ white women and refuse to see other white women as equally white women is a description of their delusion; not a counter or agreement with anything I said. There’s no misogyny in calling thing a thing. White women are…

Big, black bouncer would have suffered hearing the slur and perhaps wound up charged for his righteous manhandling.

Hardcore police apologists will still try. They are already on Twitter. Whenever the violation is this textbook callous and egregious, they always pivot to, ‘BUT POLICING IS SOOOOOOOO HARRRRRRD’. Even when the victim is an unarmed, babyfaced 11 year old girl , we hear the magic words: officers have ‘split second’ to…

You’re right. And that’s the part that’s truly ghastly. This woman- at the very least- has a cultural connection to the women who vote for bigots by virtue of feeling she isn’t responsible. Guess what? Those voters don’t feel responsible for other women or PoC, either! Sure, there are some who are outright hateful,…

I just sent this link to another commentor, http://plsonline.eku.edu/insidelook/history-policing-united-states-part-1 but also please do a quick search for slave patrols and fugitive slave laws. As slavery and the aggressive displacement of indigenous people were paramount, it only makes since that they’d need law…

Your third sentence is an outright lie, but what part of your second sentence do you believe negates mine? The constabulary existed, giving the colony the framework for the concept of policing itself; but the *way* policing was carried out- its foci, the intended type of persons that were to be policed vs. protected,…

Friend, please read up on the origins of law enforcement agencies in the states. They were slavecatchers. The institution of law enforcement was *designed* to do exactly what it’s doing: maintain White supremacy. When it became socially unacceptable to do it outright, laws and language changed to give policing a…

“She feels awful, as if this is our responsibility because we’re white women. And it isn’t”

Let’s stop the bullshit. You came really close to telling the truth but didn’t finish. White women *say* they will never vote for a pro-choice candidate so they don’t have to account for the bigoted views of their preferred candidate. White woman can say whatever they want, but they are absolutely having abortions.…

We had one on campus and one on at another university really close by. Cracked us up seeing everyone strolling at parties with their frat and sorors and then you’d see two dudes doing a routine, so happy to be together. Y’all Kid & Play? Hall & Oates? Shabadoo & Bugaloo Shrimp?

The truth Is in you. They would need to reanimated the ghosts of all Iotas ever in existence to have enough folks to stamp out a wastebasket fire.

I am proud of my ancestor who fought to preserve, not just racism, but the actual enslavement of all people from one race, but I’m not a racist. I could remember this ancestor, light a candle, write a poem about him, but I want to show my pride by using imagery that I know continues to harass that one race I’m totally…

Unless that person is not really a person and is actually a museum, yes.
