You never got help with a science project or your dad to proof-read your paper?

you are still treating this like a blame game and you are the great white defender

And you don't think I can teach you anything because you already understand black people better than black people.

How many black trans women do you even know? Jesus. How many black people period do you know? You sound like someone who…

You really need to read about racism. You have a very shallow understanding of it.

Consider these myths
-blacks are naturally better at sports
-black men can jump higher than white men
-black men have bigger penises
-black men are all lusting after white women

etc.

"So I don't know to what good character the judge was referring"

Was he rich? White? Both?

I list the marathoning club I run and it really helped land more than one job. People always want to chat about it.

But it is still about intersectionality. The expectations and pressures placed on black women and black men are not just…

I think most people assume the perps are of the same race as the victim. Though in many cases the race of the perp is not known. Though if the victim is black it was probably black people. That's obvious.

"suspected criminals" Dicey.

you are not black. you are a troll. or maybe a black troll...but probably just a troll.

Lots of women look like her and some of us don't even enjoy it. I was saving for lipo until I realized it would mean not running for weeks.

Stop trolling this thread. Thanks.

The louder the backlash gets the more impact you must be having. Look at it this way. When I was in college feminist outrage on an issue like this was still kind of fringy. I think the millennials younger than me (I'm 34 so the oldest in the cohort) are much more liberal and more vocal as well. It scares guys like…
