Ah. You have your own machine. I live a 6 block walk away from the laundromat. We get a new towel each per week and that’s it.

I’m so impressed. What do you even do for 30 min. in the shower? I don’t think I could take more than 15 if I tried. And I know I’m not doing laundry more than every other week. Do you live in a giant laundry-spa? I want to live in a laundry-spa.

Sure thing - 14 washcloths/week/PP. NBD.

1. I’ve heard non-white people like braids too

I can see it!

I’m so excited to go!

If you don’t remember the complaints about the hyper violence in Kill Bill, and the conversations about whether the cartoonish nature or female protagonist excused it, then you’re either very young or have a bad memory. It was heavily discussed.

Well, she was hogtied naked in an open convertible. I have a hard time seeing that as not sexual humiliation/violence.

I’m afraid that this kind of rational thought has no place in this discussion. Please leave.

Yup, as a woman of color I don’t think that sexualized violence against any woman is cool, and I’m pretty sure the “party” scenes were not exactly consensual.

You’re aware that you don’t get to bank votes, right? There’s no such thing as “saving” a vote, only not using it.

So fucking what? Dude was a violent racist misogynist. Don’t care about why.

Hey, I’ve eaten plenty of pussy and I’m straight. It’s just sex.

yes yes yes

What’s Czech? What’s German? Are there no Czechs of color? No Black Germans? And when you say German, does that include only Aryans, or are the Slavs & Jews & Roma included as well?

You’re saying “white white white” like white is a real and immutable thing that you can define.

I completely agree that this particular woman is not a good example of anything except a lot of confusion and sadness and misguidedness. I don’t think that this means that some of the questions she raises are totally invalid, and it certainly doesn’t make the racial absolutist comments any more digestible.

Yeah, and I get that. But I’m speaking more about an innate understanding that race, as we use it to categorize people, is entirely illusory. In discussions here it seems to be presented as a biological fact, which is odd to say the least.

NO. The person who (allegedly) abused a child ruined everything. You cannot blame that on Rachel, and if that’s the kind of family environment she came from, it goes a long way to explaining things.

She never made the initial claim of abuse. Hate her all you want, but she is not the initiator of this case. The alleged victim is.
