Well, that thinking is precisely why I put the question to you all. Brown on Brown cultural appropriation is not as cut and dry, to me anyway, as White on Brown cultural appropriation. This is why I wanted to talk about it, because the images gave me pause. As for the oppression comparison, I hope we can all agree…

if this was a white model you would call her racist.

No, and fuck you. Jezebel should be able to post articles about whatever they damn well please without having to deal with rape gifs and gore porn and whatever the fuck else. Those are being used as a silencing tool, and your comment is no better.

That was a Gawker article, idiot.

The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.

That would be better than perpetuating the stereotype.

Ok, but forgive me for not finding it to be that obvious, given your "the Jez author is writing like one" comment.

I think many people long for the days of women you put on a pedestal (good girls who stayed at home and went straight from dad to husband, with no sexual experience to make husband feel inadequate) and women you could abuse with impunity (because they were bad girls/sluts or just…

Not withstanding the fact that this guy might very well be a bad guy who was intentionally deceitful, let's stop demonizing people who are HIV positive. He did lie. And that's not okay. But it is up to both individuals (or all in the case of more than two) to protect themselves. If they didn't insist on condoms,…

Or maybe you should accept that your inability to have a child doesn't mean you get to buy out some poor woman's uterus and then decide that, oops, you don't actually want it because it's not the perfect little snowflake you weren't actually capable of having on your own in the first place. And have fun explaining to…

I feel like, if you are looking into surrogacy, you should make it clear in the contract before inserting fertilized eggs that you have no interest in raising any potential disabled children, so that the surrogate knows going into it that she might have to abort, keep the disabled child, or give it up for adoption. …

I feel like in general, if you become a surrogate it is best to be prepared to honour the parents' wishes should they want to abort due to a catastrophic birth defect.

A lot of these comments sound like they were written by people who A) don't get that people can develop severe mental illnesses including schizophrenia at a young age. And B) really loathe and despise the mentally ill.

1) I am black. There's a picture of me right there.

I know right :P
