I don’t get the whole “forgiveness” thing in this situation. Why is it a societal expectation or even a question that people should be forgiven for perpetrating horrific crimes?? Like, I get if you had absent parents who had to work a million hours a day to keep you fed and clothed but sexual abuse? I can’t imagine…

To be clear: as a journalist and a writer you are hurting SURVIVORS and not helping us by using language like “imperfect victims” in your work.

Really wish I could tag the “making men type paragraphs” facebook group on the “not all men” replies.

Because she totally speaks for the black people who’re tired of white people acting like this shit is okay and just in the past. FFS I’m so sick of white people acting like they’re our allies and friends when they…

I hope their bus crashes on the way home. Yes, I mean that. There is no fucking way these kids are going to grow up and be open-minded, caring, loving adults. They’re just going to stay virulent racists, and they look like they already come from privilege, so they’ll be rich and powerful racists. So we may as well…
