What’s that you say? Her heart is in the white place? Ok.

And that’s how you’d prioritize your comfort and protection, over that of those affected by your racist/homophobia. You don’t want a racist to be fired, but you do, therefore, want the ones targeted by that racism to tolerate and shrink their feelings as they are left to wonder if the racist has learned or is learning…

Lots of black women exist, see ones given and ones discussed - with pictures - all of the internet. Have a lot of white friends, or perhaps are mixed race? Somehow you don’t ‘see’ black women who are indeed ‘names’ enough, and you clearly must be very young because you’re understanding of Nina Simone’s life is lacking…

What’s most alarming is how we waste time trying to explain things to them as if these concerns aren’t valid unless they understand - and you really can never explain any of these well-enough so that people who don’t even want to listen, much less understand and certainly do not care about what black women face…

Given your words, are you also up for rape of a woman not so much being a crime, but rather a theft of services? How will you encourage the training of young girls to choose prostitution as a job? Woo them with stories of all the money they’ll make? And do you think society helps enough already will training young…

Yes, let’s not criticize misogynistic men, let’s not criticize men who see women as objects to buy, use and trade - if they are paying for sex. If they aren’t paying for sex, let’s badger men about these mentalities.

Such pretty pretty becoming people, sadly so little little attention for substantive minds and good characters.

I think people perform a LOT of their emotions on social media, particular the superficiality worshipping and deliberately fake emotions, and these people deciding to share their grief about an illness, and subsequent terminal struggle with that illness, I think they are the LEAST deserving of ire. It isn’t like they…

I have a 101 year old Aunt, who can tell you that she can’t even remember ‘when’ it became completely acceptable, just that it always has been, for some people to do some ‘some people’

When it became acceptable“to lack all empathy...publicly advertise your utter lack of compassion for other human beings”

It is also why so many non-black women find them threatening and go out of their way to mock them. Or do you feel it is just men who direct racism - insults, mockery, demeaning statements about their talent - at the Williams sisters? It isn’t. Not at all. It isn’t just men who called them ugly, untalented in skill as…

Maybe it is because you constantly think of yourself as ‘different than blacks’ because you consider yourself ‘financially centrist’ and assume that you are a sparkly unicorn type black person for having whatever traits you think make you not simply different than those around you, but different than ‘other blacks’ -…

I think we need to be realistic. Trump’s supporters aren’t examining the finer details of executive order vs. anything else to free the slaves. Let’s keep in mind that a good chunk of those voting for him still support waving the Confederate flag in 2016 - and the Confederacy’s ‘cornerstone’ was about NEVER freeing…

“halting but undeniable progress” - no, I think of what she and so many of our black elders suffered through, many terrors and deaths, and how so many of them were brave and strong enough to fight and keep pushing, despite the sheer obstacle of a majority white population who had to be dragged along, each step hoping…

Impossible for her to shade Beyonce with this nonsense - no black woman has to prove her feminism but rushing in to ‘save’ white women - especially ones who happily mock black women, they cry when it isn’t as successful as they hoped. Nope. Overwhelmingly white women have seen no solidarity of womanhood to ride in and…

Wait, is this patriarchy? Oppressive white males attacking ‘minorities and women’ ? Old white people? Nope, many/most of these comments are from young white women. Let’s remember racism is thriving among them.

I have absolutely no attachment to the idea of ‘we failed to protect’ Kesha, because I in particular know how most commenters don’t give a damn at all about their failures to protect masses of not-white-women. It is offensive to pose support for Kesha as an issue of ‘all women’ and ‘us’ - and this bullshit of “when a…

Does this sort of comment come with any deep sigh of relief because it is part of that little batch of shield to protect your own racism? Maybe it isn’t that she has zero empathy for other races, but she doesn’t perform the expected ‘love everyone unquestioningly’ role many non-blacks expect black people to have - and…

If Kesha was black, you’d not be bothered if she did.

Lots of women have crumpled, heartbroken faces over many issues, and that Kesha’s face provokes a protection response from you is your choice. But it is not ‘supporting sexism in full force’ to be a woman who does not have that response to this individual woman. Miz Jenkins may well feel protective for women that you…
