But maybe a hipster of another kind; that’s how the New Victorians do it.

Definitely Drake-adjacent!

I usually dismiss commenters like you (dont think I haven’t noticed you stinking up Gawker and Jez with your dumbass opinions) but I’ll go ahead and break from custom just this once.

It seems no matter what vehicle she attempts to use she’s doomed to be pedestrian.

A lot easier when you really need to “type” imho

Honestly, I could’ve written something of that caliber more easily at 13 than I could today at 26. Some people are just fucking smart from day one, and kids have more time to read/do deep dives on topics that interest them than adults do. Maybe there’s a rad female role model in her life that nudged her down this path…

In this day and age, it’s entirely reasonable for preteens and teens to be exposed to feminist writing etc. online, especially if she’s using Tumblr. Don’t write her off just because she’s young.

Many great points. But yes, the insistence on seeing racism as an individual “thought crime” rather than something that is widespread and systemic is truly insidious. It’s one of the things that bothers me most about the whole “did Paula Deen say the n-word once 20 years ago” narrative. The bigger issue is that she…

No it’s YOUR pace because you insist on sitting on your hands and doing not a damn thing to change things. Not everyone is going to abide by your pace.

Who said anything about being surprised? I’m not surprised. That doesn’t mean I have to go at your glacial pace either.

I’m sure it’s easy to tell people to just wait when it’s not you on the receiving end.

Then they need to quit their fucking jobs and find something else to do.

No, I get it. I’m not trying to be obtuse, intentionally, or otherwise. I’m simply saying that by having these discussions, we’re allowing the racists to control the tenor of the entire conversation, and then what happens next time when the victim was a shit bag?

What in the fuck are you talking about. You’re making my point. I’m saying it makes no difference in the case, so I have no interest in discussing the character of a victim that was murdered.

Huh? This comment doesn’t even make sense.
