Probably so they could agree with me and ask me about my plans to keep all these white people from rampaging through their cities in search of food and culture to poach and then complain about.

is the new york times aware that like, there’s a whole country between new york and los angeles with plenty of wonderful OTHER places you could live

All of this basically. You’re spot on about white people wanting to appear not racist more than actually be not racist. I think that’s where most of this defensive reaction comes from. Because admitting offense and apologizing requires acknowledging that you, as an ~*aNtI rAcIsT aLLy*~ cant still sometimes do racist…

Part of the problem is that I think a lot of white people have “intentional” baked into their definition of racism, because they associate racism with like, people who yelled at Rosa Parks, not themselves. There’s not enough discussion of how racist thought is a spectrum and a system, not just synonymous with “hatred…

I don’t think it’s a problem to consider the situation like that. It’s why Jay Smooth has that video about calling actions racist rather than people. But the thing is... it doesn’t work. White people hear the word racist escape your lips and what registers in their brain is “YOU ARE IN THE KU KLUX KLAN!!!!!” which can…

Accidental racism is the most frustrating thing about Whiteness to me. I feel like White people are so much more concerned with appearing (to themselves as much as to the world) not to be racist than with actually not BEING racist that it’s impossible for them to cop to it when it happens on accident. Like, how bad…

“The girl in the photo is a white girl so clearly nothing about race.” Hmmm. Yes, because “being white” isn’t about race, whereas being anything but white is all about race. White privilege means that white people don’t have to worry about race, right? So as long as we just look at white people and talk about white…

Fuck that shit. They should sue. Because you know if it was some white women, not only would they receive payouts in the millions, there would be at 3 mother fucking congressional hearing on the matter.

This is good news. But I’ve seen this movie before. I want to see these fuckers sharing a cell, knowing they will spend the rest of their lives with the “thugs” and “animals” they took pride in hunting down. Then i’ll believe that we might be heading on the right path to change. That said, this is a wonderful first…

And because she’s a black woman who of course filed the charges only because she’s a black woman, Fox et al are now in a full-court press to destroy her reputation.

Thank goodness somebody has a set. Yeah, I'm looking at you Mayor of Baltimore.

I actually clapped when I read that line.

Beyoncé is out of the loop if she thinks respectability politics mongering NAACP is about that life.

The NAACP is going to give all of the donated money to Hillary for her campaign.

I don’t know what’s sadder

Amandla is a common South African name, it means Power in the Xhosa and Zulu language and was a protest call for blacks in the apartheid struggle. I used to think her name was silly too until I looked it up

If this reads as a celebration of Mayweather’s career to you ... you need to read it again.

I’d be willing to bet half the stuff in gossip mags is placed there by the celebrities’ own management team. No such thing as bad publicity.

Calling another interviewer a “syphilitic parasite” or a “clown” while on the Howard Stern show is some pretty dark irony, though probably not intended.
