So what’s next? It’s clear a lot of white people simply want black people to shut the fuck up, and a lot of other white people are willing to get out of the way. Very few news organizations covering this are talking about police brutality so the conversation is almost entirely about who and who isn’t being patriotic.…

I can tell you it’s not nearly as exhausting as being, existing, and breathing as a Black woman.

They are shameless cowards. The lot of them.

This, this, this. Whether you always agree with her or not, what one can’t deny without losing credibility is that she’s bonafide star. Period. She was before all of this, and she’ll be one after this.

No, it is not a minor infraction - This is the third such racist ad that Dove have run. How many ‘mistakes’ do you want them to make?

That part.

My freezer at home:

? Are you sure? I’ve been led to believe that Military Jesus descends from Conservative Heaven and smites teams who do not pay deference to the state.

Dear Lord...

She said she voted based on her faith. With that logic, Jesus is comfortable with racism, nationalism, misogyny, sexual assault, greed and a dude who called 2 Corinthians (pronounced “second” Corinthians) “two Corinthians.”

This is all right, but it goes deeper than this - the origins of the Moral Majority were - you guessed it - racism. It was the (forced) desegregation of Christian schools that drew this group together into a meaningful political entity.

This is why I’m not here for any black person who voted for Donald Trump but particularly not for black people her age (43). If you are a black person in your 40's you are old enough to remember the Central Park Five. And you are old enough to remember that Donald Trump took out a full page ad in the New York Times…

Like you said though, not everyone was down with the movement. I remember reading something like only 10% of Black people around at that time participated in a Civil Rights Movement protest. Even when you consider sympathizers, they were a bit of a minority and often an elite of sorts. Taken from that realm, it’s not…

This isn’t a stretch. This is very real.

“There was no intent behind it, just an equal, non-sexist method of referring to soldiers of different genders.”

Yeah I’m going to have to call BS on that. Just because it is used casually, doesn’t make it ok. Does anyone ever say “have a male do it”? Nah, never.

You can try to frame it as a personal sensitivity, but…

Wow we had diffeerent experiences. I got female shouted at me often, I never heard someone yell, “hey male” come here.

I’m not talking about people who use female AND male with the same frequency. But people who use “female” to address women and “men/man” to address men.

“Have that female do this”
