Could have been worse, it could have been Walmart.

This exactly. It also means tacit assumption that as soon as the last minority leaves the room, the mask can come off with impunity.

While I’m not surprised, I’m also very surprised. I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again, racism has no logic. You have to be a complete idiot to allow racism to run your life. However, I do ask that if you, please allow it to run it right into the gutter!!!

The catalyst was that she’s a racist and she saw someone she didn’t consider white. I’m white and am tired of white people’s racism being given the benefit of the doubt because they’re stressed, from a different generation, uneducated, from a community that’s white and thus not used to being around people who aren’t…

Let’s all give the racist white racist the benefit of the doubt!

I think I sprained my eyes, I rolled them so hard. Give us a fucking break, hey?

No, you don’t have to nitpick here. You are choosing to make your own qualifications of the article hitting or missing a mark that you have defined because you feel entitled to do so. This article was written by an African American author and posted to The Root, an online magazine which centers African American…

I have had male doctors tell me that my intestinal condition is not possible, I have had them advise me on anti-depressants when they had NO IDEA what they were talking about,and read my blood results wrongly. Not a lot of faith in the dudes.

I guess “Minnesota nice” doesn’t mean not being racist, it just means waiting until the minority is out of earshot?

Wasn’t this whole “I want a WHITE DOCTOR” shit an episode of All In the Family back in the ‘70s?

My ex is an RN up in Minnesota and is white. When she worked the ER, she would get patients who were all gashed up, broken limbs, bleeding everywhere who would be seen by a non-white ER doc. When the doctor would step out of the room, these idiots would ask “Hey...uhhh...is there maybe another doctor on duty?” She…

Honestly, same. Older white male doctors tend to a) not listen to me, or b) act really skeptical about my (easily observed) medical conditions. And after 40+ years of weird, unrelated, but completely tangible medical problems I have no patience for it. I don’t feel like a doctor is listening, I’m out of there.

My anonymous confession is This: I am white, and I am SO relieved when I am placed with a black or East Asian or really ANY doctor but white.

I posed this question and was accused of victim blaming. I don’t think the penalty for making bad travel choices should be death, so... not victim blaming. At the same time I honestly cannot understand why in the hell someone would want to go to North Korea. It seems like the opposite of fun.

That argument of doing it for attention or money is the most bizarre to me. Let’s accuse someone of rape for that sweet sweet rape fame. The things people do to discredit victims and protect rapists never ceases to amaze/horrify me.

This documentary is a difficult watch. But what I took away from it and choose to focus on are these incredible women. I’m in awe of every single one of them especially Abbie, Gemma, Jane Doe, and Jane Roe. Their strength, resilience, bravery, determination, I can go on and on. Remarkable people.

I was so struck by Jean’s retelling of what happened to her. It was so matter-of-fact but so painful and sad at the same time. Some of the details really haunt me, I can’t imagine how she must have felt. It takes an incredibly brave woman to speak out like this.

I bingewatched this when it was first released last month. It’s horrifying and mesmerizing TV, but the thing that set it apart from me was the frankness with which several of the victims described their abuse. Nothing was hidden behind euphemism; it was clear the victims want the viewer to fully understand the extent…

Everyone should watch this if they’re able. Watch this and learn the importance of believing women telling their abuse stories. Watch this and learn how your shaming and “she’s just doing it for attention/money,” narrative makes other victims too scared and ashamed to come forward. Hearing those woman talk about how…

According to her family that’s probably what she wanted. Based off how she wrote about her life she basically treated her whole life as a PSA. Her openness and refusal to feel shame about her problems is one reason I loved her.

Did you read his wife’s statement? Like he was such an innocent victim and they’re super vindicated now? Delusional much? 😂
