Maybe the whitest thing about this article is that no one involved realized that they literally wrote a drug smuggling how-to and considered being even a little concerned about law enforcement asking them questions. This article is probably very illegal just on it’s face, yes? No one at this fine publication is…

Cosigned.

You just kept asking me the same question over and over again without explaining what you’re issue was. I explained what I interpreted Raven to mean by that statement but you kept coming back with asking me the same thing: “What does this have to do with Raven’s statement about hating other cultures?” So anyway, now…

Okay, here’s the full phrase you quoted:

“...we still repeat history of hating other cultures over and over again.”

What? Of course she was. I’m just paraphrasing Raven’s argument that she represents the struggles of slavery times and Rosa Parks represents a more recent and, in her eyes, more relevant struggle of segregation today. I never said Harriet Tubman was ‘just a slave’ and I never would. No one here is saying that.

I meant it’s ‘kind of like’. I meant it in the sense of these are people who are very apologetic to white society and/or actively against ideas about white privilege that are generally agreed upon. You’re right that it’s a poor analogy. I still maintain that this white author really shouldn’t be slinging that term…

Oh I certainly agree that Raven cannot string a thought together coherently to save her life. I can see her point though here. Feminists Jones’ opinion is stellar too. Obvs her article is intelligent and amazing whether you agree or not. My point here tho is that this article about Raven’s opinion is off base and…

One can argue about whether they agree with her assessment. Maybe she’s right maybe she’s wrong. I might actually agree w her for various reasons but the fact is that the statement is not New Black. It’s just a legit opinion.

Responsibility was the wrong word to use but I get this. Seriously, these days everyone is ‘queer’ yet refuses to define that. It honestly reminds me of high school in the 90’s - if EVERYONE is queer then how come so much homo/transphobia still? It’s not ‘responsibility’ but yeah, you don’t get all the ‘oooh I’m so…

She’s saying she recognizes that Harriet Tubman represents the fall of North American slavery and that’s important, but she feels Rosa Parks is a more relevant choice to today’s struggle. Agree or disagree, that’s not offensive, it’s just a fair opinion. Meh.

I’m just saying that while this isn’t a particularly well said opinion ( she’s terrible at speaking coherently) this isn’t worth the knee jerk hate is all. It’s a fair opinion in my eyes. It certainly doesn’t mean I now ‘like’ her. She’s a damned mess but I don’t think white writers from jez should be jumping in here…

Yep. That’s what I got from this immediately. I know Raven is pretty well known for saying dumb things and gets accused of being New Black a lot for good reason but this post seems off the mark and kind of mean to me. Look at the picture they chose. Come on. This is just knee-jerk hate because ‘Raven Simone’. Raven…

I will agree #allwhitepeople in many situations. Seriously though, there are people who are part of the problem and people who are part of the solution, regardless of skin colour and that’s what this is about for me. This idiot wants to cry racism and stereotyping for talking about white people but honestly, when…

“First off thanks for answering like a decent human “

Aw! I <3 you too!

“I’ve said my pittance...”

Nope. You watched me realize I was pointlessly trying to have a logical conversation with a fucking obtuse moron and give the fuck up. Now I’m just fucking with your anti-black ass. Enjoy!

RACIAL DISCOURSE!!!

That motherfucking coward dismissed the rest of our conversation! My word. This is now the part where I reply to myself and link it all. Now you too can see more of his awesome deep thoughts and reply to them! Don’t hide your oh-so original amazing intellectual discourse, Willhelm. The people need to hear this…
