Matt Damon deserves a bunch more shit for his part in this. He pressured outlets to not ask about this or write about this in the press tour. He clearly saw what happened with Nate Parker and used his influence to gloss over this assholes deplorable behavior. Standard Damon

Jesus Christ, what THE FUCK is up with all the Viola haters who’ve come out of the woodwork? God forbid an older Black woman who’s been working her ass off for decades be rewarded. Seriously, GTFO and let her have her moment.

They will stay silent as long as they do not lose too much, then maybe they would do something.

All white women certainly aren’t the enemy but it’s exceedingly easy to lose sight of this fact when even the progressive white women, who should know better, are so often identical to their conservative peers.

We can look at history and see that many white women act as a silent means to perpetuate white supremacy. I’ll leave this right here for anyone who wants to read it:

Lol, please, spare me the description of “nice” racists. I’ll be over here being Black and in reality.

The only response I can think is to my fellow white ladies:

“self-serving refusal to acknowledge that white women have always been complicit in the oppression of women of color”

Textbook white feminism.* Unfortunately, this election brought out a lot of problematic viewpoints—one post on Pantsuit Nation, where a moderator asked that POC be given a space to express their experiences, got bulldozed by white women asking why they needed their own thread, arguing that wasn’t the way forward. The…

I call bullshit. Everyone knows that the only real ethnic slur for a white person is “racist.”

Congrats on the baby!

I think the issue is, why are films made about people like Jackie O so often, over much more interesting/historically important non-white people? I think Jackie O and her story are boring, but even if you find it interesting, it’s been told so many times when there are many non-white historical figures with more…

There’s always that one douche who’s just shocked - shocked! that he can’t get up and start digging in the overhead bins while the plane is 5 feet from the ground and the seatbelt sign is still on, and always one other person who’s surprised to learn they can’t blithely wander into the bathroom under the same…

I could wait for some pretentious, out of touch white guy to “disrupt” this problem by making housing more affordable and accessible for all socioeconomic classes, but then I remembered the “disrupt” culture only fixes problems that either don’t exist or benefit pretentious, out of touch white guys.

“Whiteness” is a construct designed by a particular group of people in order to exclude particular other groups and deny them their rights. It has been used to mean or to exclude a variety of people of varying skin tones and ethnic backgrounds, depending on what was convenient at the time. “Blackness” is also a social…

Thanks Bobby, I am more than happy not to see Passengers.

Delta’s response for me confirms the incident. Even if he did it as a joke, why should speaking a different language get you kicked off a flight? Delta let that white Trump dude go on a tirade for how long the other day and he not only stayed on his flight, Delta did nothing until the video went viral, then they…

This is your daily reminder that nothing is considered automatically true unless a white dude says it.

Anti-choice. That’s the proper term and one I’ve heard used a lot. I like it because it really gets at what the movement is all about: restricting freedoms. These people don’t give a shit about life.

I’m a total old who has never been cool or with it, and even I know his name! They’re pretty adorbs, actually, but that ring looks like she’ll need an arm lifting assistant for life!
